Vacanze Romane

 

Rome is one of my favorites cities, it’s an opens sky museum, food is lovely and people are nice.. This time I just made a short week end and temperature was really high so I didn’t make usual gastronomic tour, I just made some pictures..

 

Bucatini all’amatriciana: definitely one of my favorite dish. Is a thick spaghetti-like pasta with a hole running through the centre with a sauce based on guanciale di Amatrice, pecorino cheese, and tomato. It’s just wonderful!

 

In the evening don’t forget to drink a glass of white wine in campo dei fiori, one of my favorite squares..

 

A special mention is for this take away pizzeria, close to quartiere Parioli, I didn’t even have time to take a picture of it because I was too hungry and pizza was too good! Definitely best pizza that I eat in Roma. They also have a large choice of traditional Italian beverages: spuma (similar to chinotto), gassosa, limonata, cedrata.. great!

Pizza bianca a Roma

 

 

Pizza bianca is between focaccia and bread, more tasty than bread, less oily than focaccia. Its typical from Roma and they use to eat it with mortadella (mortazza in Roma) so if you want a sandwich with it just say “una pizza Bianca con la mortazza perfavore!”

Very famous place to eat pizza Bianca close to campo dei fiori

Best Panino in Genova

Gran Ristoro (close to porto antico)

 

This place is part of Genova. Here you can find best sandwich ever. Bread is always fresh and you can choose your filling between all this cheese, salami, sauces, vegetables.. if you have a doubt on a combination don’t hesitate to ask to Chef, he knows. I use to come here at lunch when I was working in Genova, and 2 weeks ago after many years of absence I entered in shop and Chef said “ciao Francesca!” that’s a customer service!

fresh sliced!

my panino: provola e pancetta piccante!

Best Pizza in Genova

pizza con salsiccia

 

As you probably know, Pizza is my favorite dish ever… but there is Pizza and there is pizza. On this topic I’m very difficult and I could get really nervous if I eat bad pizza!:) This pizzeria makes best pizza in Genova… its not in the center but in Pegli (opposite side of my house), place is nothing special but Pizza is AMAZING! Or I eat it there or I don’t eat it at all.
