"Food Wine Rome "is a tightly focused guidebook and traveler's
companion to the culinary delights of Rome. For each neighborhood,
listings are in three categories: 1) dining: restaurants,"
trattorie," "osterie"; 2) gourmet shopping: bakeries, markets,
salami makers, cheesemongers, and more; 3) wine: shops and wine
bars. A dozen or more sidebars add entertaining and informative
bits of city lore, culture, customs, quotes, and anecdotes to bring
alive the city's historic culinary richness: the Roman love affair
with artichokes; the watermelon festival held for years on August
24, when giant, ripe watermelons would be released into the river
upstream and Roman kids would dive into the river to grab them;
Lucullus' Kitchen Garden; the Cacio e Pepe Family of Pastas; the
cult of the strawberries of Nemi (one of whose devotees was
Caligula); Papal cuisine; the Renaissance of Rome's wines; Holy
Water and the Aqueducts; Spring Fever (lamb, favas, artichokes,
zucchini flowers); and dozens more.
A glossary of essential Roman/Italian food terms helps make
shopping, marketing, and eating fun and rewarding. It is
illustrated with scores of atmospheric photographs and an overall
map of central Rome, plus detailed maps for each of Rome's nine
central neighborhoods, so that readers can find addresses
immediately.
