Food Fridays - Rome
Out of all of our travels so far, we've enjoyed the food in Italy the most. Maybe it's the alfresco dining, the accordion music that warbles in the air, or the way ordering in Italian rolls off the tongue, but the food here is perfecto. First bites tingle with freshness, making us close our eyes, forget about the busyness of the day, and focus on the simple pleasure of good food.
A prosciutto and Buffalo mozarella sandwich and...The Fabius burger (named after the owner of the restaurant): 250 grams of beef, salad, egg Bismarck, bacon, provola cheese, mayonnaise, ketchup
A mushroom pizza covered with delicately thin veils of procuitto
Light creamy panna cotta and fresh strawberries
Okay, so beef in Italy isn't bad either.
A special porchetta sandwich. To quote the menu: roast pork from Arricia with aromatic herbs, mozzarella buffalo cheese, grilled eggplant from Puglia, grilled peppers, french fries, mushrooms, salad, olives and mayonnaise.
Ravioli stuffed with ricotta cheese and spinach in an asparagus sauce
BEST. TIRAMISU. EVER.
Found a little hole-in-the-wall place that specialized in fresh pasta. Amazing mushroom sausage spaghetti.
Roman oxtail vaccinara
For something light and non-carb-filled, a vegetable soup hits the spot
