Each chapter introduces an area of Rome-its restaurants, food, markets, and people-and is accompanied by a selection of local recipes.

Cucina Romana reveals the beating heart of this magical city. In a place where food is at the center of life and culture, there is only one way to really get a taste of Rome. "A solid exploration of Italy's most distinctive urban cuisine, traditional and innovative... Cucina Romana is a lively little neighborhood-by-neighborhood exploration of what makes the food of Italy's biggest city so fascinating, by a writer raised near the famous Campo dei Fiori, with its amazing produce market and food shops. The recipes are a mix of the very classic (spaghetti alla carbonara) and restaurant modern (whole onions baked in sea salt). Both the food and street photography is almost like being there, without the Vespa din." -Los Angeles Times

Famous and hidden restaurants and food shops in all parts of Rome July 4, 2005
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Part cookbook, part travel guide, and part armchair tour, Cucina Romana reveals the gastronomic secrets of Rome, as recorded by Rome native, travel writer, and gastronomic connoisseur Sara Manuelli. Chapters reveal both famous and hidden restaurants and food shops in all parts of Rome, complete with an address book for food lovers on vacation, sample recipes, and dazzling full-color photographs of such treats as '"torta ai frutti di bosco", a succulent dessert pastry that has to be seen (if not tasted) to be truly appreciated. A pleasure to browse through; though the sumptuous illustrations, descriptions, and recipes of succulent Rome cuisine are sure to make the reader hungry!
