Eating Roman

Much of our home cooking is Italian, so we felt right at home in Rome...plus there were three supermercados, the huge New Esquiline Market, numerous alimentaries and produce shops, and other things within a few blocks of our appartamento. Besides, when in Rome...

At the produce market just outside our building's door

Bulk wine store around the block; BYOB; sadly, I didn't get here much

Home cookin'--Vicki's veal picatta and pasta alfredo

Chef's board at a resto whose name I've forgotten, near Piazza
Reppublica

Roman pastries are attractive, but we mostly stuck with the
gelato; a really good gelato shop, San Lorenzo, was just a block
away






















































































In an alley just beyond our bedroom window was Saltimbocca,
a restaurant we liked









In part because of its meter deal...a meter's worth
of Roman tapas, plus an aperativo, for 10€

Her pizza

My saltimbocca

Artichokes a specialty in Trastavere and the Jewish
Ghetto

At Dar Poeta

With the beyond decadent calzone filled with
ricotta and nutella


Italian broccoli

In the huge Nuova Esquilino Mercado, a few blocks away; the
entire central aisle (nave?) was seafood


Fried artichoke at Tonnarello's in Trastavere
My salmon

Her carbonara
Ultima cena in Rome, a selection of Italian sausages and pasta

The food looks so yummy! One of my food emails just this week talked about Roman fried artichokes.
