ROCS Holidays - Rome 2021

ROME 2021

Let’s talk about food. Like the biggest capitals of the world, Rome is packed with restaurants and fast-food chains one can indulge in to fully experience traditional Roman cuisine, regardless of whether they are locals or foreign visitors. The Mediterranean culture is deeply rooted in Rome and has consequently influenced culinary trends that can be seen in the Ristorante, Pizzeria and Osteria across the Eternal City. Although it is part of Italy, Rome has its very own palette of traditional dishes. From mouth-watering cod fillets (filetti di Baccalà) to the Puntarelle, an endive-based dish served with anchovies, white vinegar and olive oil, Rome has got wonderful flavours for you to discover. Roman Artichokes (carciofi alla Romana) are also very popular, especially the fried Jewish styled ones (carciofi alla Giudea). Artichokes are usually harvested between February and April and are only served during this short period as they are served fresh. Pizza is probably one of the most common and most popular dishes in Rome. The Pizza al Taglio is a quick meal you can grab almost everywhere across the city and so are the Suppli, rice dumplings covered in and/ or filled with tomato sauce and mozzarella. Pizza Bianca and Mortadella Pizza are an absolute must-try! Italian gastronomy has no equal, and Rome is unique.
