Your perfect foodie trip\nto Rome: Here is a quick guide<\/span><\/p><\/h3>\n<\/br>\n\n\n\n

If you happen to have been checking out our Special Offers on Vatican tours<\/a><\/strong>, then you should know that there are many organized ways for visitors to Rome to get yourself acquainted with the local food scene. You could join a class to learn how to make your favorite Italian delicacies from scratch, you can join a food tour which goes through some of the most popular restaurants, trattorie and eateries in the city, you can even visit the house of a local and have them prepare a whole 6 course meal for you. Or, you could simply eat your own way through the city.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eat as much pizza as you\ncan<\/span><\/p><\/h3>\n<\/br>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

No Italian culinary experience can ever be completed without\npizza being a part of it. So, make the most of it and try to sink your teeth\ninto the many different types of pizzas that Italy has to offer.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if you get a round pizza from a restaurant or\npizzeria then you will notice that they are different in every restaurant.\nRomans generally prefer a very flat pizza, where the crust snaps like a cracker\nwhen folding it. In Naples where pizza originated, they prefer a thick crust\npizza, known as pizza alta <\/em>or \u2018<\/em>high pizza\u2019. This dough is fluffy and\nelastically, much more similar to what you may find in your country.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you visit a \u2018pizza al taglio\u2019 (cut by the slice) then you\nwill find many different types of square pizzas ready and waiting. You can tell\nthe pizza maker exactly which, and how much of each pizza you want and take it\nto go. In these types of pizzerias the dough is different everywhere you go so\nit is important to try them all.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A great way to try them all is to graze all day long. There are\n\u2018pizza al taglio\u2019 all over the city so pop your head in, if there is anything\nyou are interested in then get a small slice to taste. If you like it, get\nanother slice!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here are some suggestions to try some of the best pizzas in\nRome.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suppli Roma<\/a> – This very small (takeaway only)\neateria is located in Trastevere and offers a nice selection of classic Roman\n\u2018street food\u2019. However, if you are there only for the pizza then you won\u2019t be\ndisappointed with their red pizza marinara, matched with a perfect crunchy\ncrust.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alice Pizza<\/a> – Unlike the recommendation above, Alice offers only \u2018pizza al taglio\u2019. The very first location which opened is just outside of the Vatican walls and is known to be a popular spot for Swiss Guards and Vatican staff alike so don\u2019t be surprised if you see a group of nuns stuffing their faces on the steps in front. This is a great place to stop for a quick bite to eat before or after touring the Vatican City<\/a><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pizzeria da Baffetto<\/a> – If you want to taste a\ntypical Roman pizza at an honest price, while being right in the heart of the\nhistorical center of Rome then you won\u2019t go wrong with da Baffetto. Very thin\nand crispy, but always delicious.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

La\nGatta Mangiona<\/a> – is a great pizzeria if you wish to try the\nclassical Napolitan style thick doughy crust pizza. The offer all of the\nclassic toppings but they also have pizzas with very unique toppings, like the\n\u2018Hop Hop\u2019 pizza which has tomatoes with hops, buffalo mozzarella, lemongrass oil and\nlemon peel.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn your Pasta<\/span><\/p><\/h3>\n<\/br>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Did you know there are around 350 different types of pasta\nnoodles? It may be unlikely that you will have the chance to try every type of\npasta, so it may be a nice idea to see (and learn) how pasta is made, and then\nget the lowdown as to which noodle is to be matched with what sauce. Pasta\nmaking is a fun activity usually done in a group so it is a great way to fill\nyour belly, and make some new friends.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Share your pasta<\/span><\/p><\/h3>\n<\/br>\n\n\n\n

A plate of pasta is usually a full portion meant to fill you up.\nSo if you want to taste as many different noodles and sauces as possible then\nit is important to share with the person you are dining with. You can always\ntell the waiter that you are splitting the dishes so they will come with extra\nplates, or even divide the plates for you. This way you can order 2 or more\nplates and spread the love.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visit the areas of\nTrastevere or Monti when the sun goes down<\/span><\/p><\/h3>\n<\/br>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Trastevere and Monti are two little lovely neighborhoods in\nRome, both very similar small cobblestone streets and full of restaurants,\nstreet food eateries and wine bars making them a great place to explore Rome’s\nculinary scene at its core.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trastevere itself is a residential neighbourhood so it is popular amongst couples and families alike. A tour through Trastevere would be one of the best family tours in Rome<\/a> <\/strong>but another great thing about this neighbourhood is that it offers many great restaurants, accessible to everyone, at any price range. If you wish to eat in a Michelin Star restaurant with your fiance, no problem. But if you would prefer to eat a traditional bowl of Gricia pasta with your family of 5, without breaking the bank then this is also possible.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Know your wines and your\ngrapes<\/span><\/p><\/h3>\n<\/br>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Your pallet may not be fully satisfied without a short trip\ninto the Italian countryside to taste some delicious wines, amongst other\nthings. Tuscany is generally what first pops into mind when talking about\nItalian wine, but the surrounding hill towns of Rome also have some great\nvineyards with fantastic wines.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many vineyards also have onsite restaurants so you can go for a\ntour of the vineyard and wine cellar, a wine tasting followed by lunch. These experiences\nusually include a food and wine pairing where you learn which wine goes with\nwhat food. Casal\nPilozzo<\/a> is one of these vineyards who have a lovely selection of\nwine which you can taste while touring and eating lunch on their beautiful\nproperty.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you do not have your own transport then another great way to\nexperience the countryside and all it has to offer is to join a wine tour\norganized by Old\nFrascati Wine Tour<\/a>. Their fun guides bring you for a visit through\nthe town of Frascati followed by a tour of a vineyard and tasting, followed by\nlunch and of course, more wine!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope you like the suggestions above, but, when in Rome it is\nbest to follow your nose and your mouth as you will most often not be\ndisappointed.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
