Risotto balls, pizza pockets, and panino romanesco, oh my!
It’s no secret that foodies are spoilt for choice in Rome, but when neither a fashionista fine diner nor a laidback meal of cucina povera will sate your snack craving, try these one-trick street food vendors dishing up old-school and new age treats that are cheap, easy, and oh-so delicious.
Step into nostalgic corner caff Supplizio for friendly neighbourhood patrons and crispy-gooey risotto balls; or line up with the locals outside Trapizzino not for the pizza, but the signature pockets stuffed with gourmet recipes (hellooo pollo cacciatore).
Roman feel-good food also abounds at Mordi e Vai, where the paninos are packed full of traditional dishes (like the l’allesso alla picchiapo; tender beef cooked with onions, carrots and celery).
Or perhaps you want to tantalise your tastebuds with more modern flaves? You’ll get a change of pace at cute Dall’Anto, with guilt-free delicacies like organic crepes made from chickpea and chestnut flour, topped with basil and olive oil or stuffed with ricotta. Yum!
