I love Rome– Roma is AMOR spelled backwards. It is a little too large for me, more like LA, but I tend to do it in small bites.
Yesterday went to Rome on a field trip.
Object of the game was picking up a new series of regional Italian cookbooks, only available there.
I contacted Slow Trav friend to order them for me and we made it fun lunch meeting too. There were 10 of us!
First meeting in the Campo dei Fiori to go to Mauro, the herb guys where I always spend too much money. I bought the Salad mixture which is Sesame, chives and I add pink peppercorns from Madagascar,( which he had always put in in the old days!)
Lunch at one of my favorite wine bars, Cul de Sac We had quite an assortment of fabulous cheeses. pates and great desserts.
Couldn’t leave Rome without stopping by Tazza d’Oro for a coffee granita before heading back!
I have always heard about Tre Scalini in Rome ( Piazza Navona) for their Ice cream Tartufo, but was really a restaurant so we didn’t stop.
Next trip will include going to the new Gambero Rosso Culinary Center.
