Eating in Rome

Italy is famous for its cousin, and Rome can surely also claim her place as The Capital when it comes to food. Let’s see a few of the many traditional Roman dishes you can enjoy all year long, assembled in a menu.

Appetizer: Jewish artichokes. The specialty from the Jewish Ghetto is a must when you take a walk in the heart of the city. This delicious appetizer looks more like a golden delicatessen than a fried artichoke.

First course: carbonara or amatriciana pasta. There is no winner here for the 2 types of pasta are both top notch Roman specialties. The carbonara is cooked with eggs and bacon, while the amatriciana is with tomatoes and bacon. Try both and pick your fav!

Second course: tripe. Although you have many options here, I would say the Roman tripe is something you shouldn’t really miss. Tasty cow tripes with tomato sauce, pepper and sheep cheese, you could get addicted.

Dessert: grattachecca. This is the traditional dessert you get during summer. Well, when you get tired of gelato that is! It looks like shaved ice but you will find out it is way tastier than every ice-based dessert you’ve ever had.

Buon appetito!
