Rome Food Guide
1. Carbonara: One of Rome's most iconic pasta dishes, carbonara is made with spaghetti, eggs, Pecorino Romano cheese, pancetta or guanciale (cured pork jowl), and black pepper. The result is a creamy and flavorful pasta dish
2. Cacio e Pepe: Another classic Roman pasta dish, cacio e pepe translates to "cheese and pepper." It consists of spaghetti or tonnarelli (a thicker version of spaghetti) tossed with Pecorino Romano cheese, black pepper, and a bit of starchy pasta water.
3. Supplì: These are deep-fried rice balls stuffed with tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and sometimes ground meat. The crispy exterior and oozing cheese make them a popular street food snack.
4. Pizza Romana: While Naples is famous for its Neapolitan pizza, Rome has its own version. Roman-style pizza has a thin and crispy crust, often topped with simple ingredients like tomatoes, mozzarella, fresh basil, and olive oil.
