| Dining
in Rome offers many choices of fine Italian cuisine,
and locally prepared dishes. Some of the finest restaurants in the world
are located in Rome. According to local Romans, these are the very
most popular dining choices. If you are visiting Rome, be
sure to check out at least one of these restaurants.
The Rivadestra
offers classic Roman dishes, as well as southern Italian
delicacies. You will find a wide variety of international and domestic
wines and a menu suited perfectly for lovers of fish, meats and locally
grown vegetables. The locally favorite millefoglie, a light puff pastry
filled with cream and almonds, is a must for dessert. The Rivadestra is
slightly more expensive than other restaurants, but very well worth it
for the savory dishes that they prepare.
Maccheroni
is located at Piazza delle Coppelle and has, over the years, maintained
the beautiful rustic details of its structure. Maccheroni offers a warm
atmosphere and traditionally prepared Roman cuisine, as well
as some of the best regional Italian dishes.
Reservations
are required for dining at the Antico Arco, but it is well worth the time
that it takes to phone them. One of the most popular dishes is risotto
with Castelmagno cheese, followed by dusk breast in raspberry sauce. The
Antico Arco offers authentic Italian cuisine in a warm and family oriented
atmosphere.
While
you are making your way around Rome, be sure to check out the alleyways
so that you dont miss the Convivio. This restaurant is located in the
alley at Via dei Soldati 31. It is owned by the Troiani brothers and specialities
include lamb roll stuffed with her fritters and a wonderful seafood salad
that combines squid, mussels, clams, whitefish, and prawns. Reservations
are required at the Convivio also.
The Pizzeria
de Baffeto is home to two of the most popular inexpensive dining
spots in Rome. You can feast on authentic Italian
style pizzas, even on a budget. The sizes of the pizzas prepared by Baffeto
are overwhelming and can easily feed a large family.
The Montecarlo
is a Roman Pizzeria that was originally a part of the Baffeto. Now serving
its own menu, the Montecarlo offers wonderful pizzas and wine in a warm,
family oriented atmosphere.
The Enoteca
Ferrara offers dining with an Italian styled kitchen, prestigious wine
cart, grappe, and many other fine Italian cuisines. They
also offer a wide selection of various coffees and teas. In a warm and
friendly atmosphere, the cuisine at the Enoteca Ferrara tastes even better.
If salad
is your meal of choice, then the Insalata Ricca is a wonderful dining place.
Dishes here range from insalata con gamberetti, which consists of prawns,
mushrooms, rocket and radicchio, to insalata di fungi with parmesan, mushrooms
and rocket. There is also the insalata Contadina with feta cheese, olives,
almonds, tomatoes and lettuce. This is one of the few restaurants that
offer such creative salads.
No matter
where you choose to dine, you will find the tastes of Rome are unsurpassed.
Splendidly prepared local cuisine and a fine collection of wines are at
the heart of the Roman eateries. The problem is deciding which to enjoy
first.
