In Rome, there is one thing you won’t have to worry about: being able to find a nice
place to eat. From family run trattorias and pizzerias, to fancier, hip restaurants.
Roman food is a popular, yet simple one. It is not sophisticated or elaborate, but
generous, rich in flavours and character, and full of many mouth-watering recipes.
The typical Roman food has its roots in the past and reflects the old traditions in most
of its offering:
Carciofi alla Giudia-artichokes fried in a very special way so that they are soft and tender
inside and crispy and crunchy outside. A typical food from the old jewish roman
tradition. Its flavour can be exalted by a chilled Frascati white wine.
Saltimbocca alla Romana: Veal scallops cooked with white wine, sage and prosciutto .
Pizza alla Romana: thin crusted, crunchy white pizza, served brushed only with olive oil
and flavoured with rosemary
Pasta cacio e pepe: pasta in a creamy olive oil, pecorino cheese and black pepper sauce
Abbacchio alla scottadito: roasted baby lamb chops served piping hot
Fiori di zucca: Zucchini flowers, deep fried and filled with mozzarella cheese and anchovies.
Filetti di baccala: a well known appetizer consisting of deep fried salted
cod filet.
Suppli: breadcrumbed, fried croquettes made of rice in Bolognese sauce, filled with
mozzarella cheese
Pasta alla Carbonara: famous spaghetti served in a sauce whose main
ingredients are eggs, “guanciale”( bacon from pig’s cheek), black
pepper and pecorino cheese.
Gnocchi alla Romana: dumplings made with semolina, baked with butter, cheese
and nutmeg.
Coda alla Vaccinara: oxtail stewed until tender and buttery, in savoury tomato sauce.
