    About this ebook

    There are many people who are enthusiastic about food—the cooking of it, the preparation of it, the serving of it, and let’s not forget the eating of it.

    But Andrew Delaplaine is the ultimate Food Enthusiast.

    This is another of his books with spot-on reviews of the most exciting restaurants in town. Some will merit only a line or two, just to bring them to your attention. Others deserve a half page or more.

    “Exciting” does not necessarily mean expensive. The area’s top spots get the recognition they so richly deserve (and that they so loudly demand), but there are plenty of “sensible alternatives” for those looking for good food handsomely prepared by cooks and chefs who really care what they “plate up” in the kitchen.

    For those with a touch of Guy Fieri, Delaplaine ferrets out the best food for those on a budget. That dingy looking dive bar around the corner may serve up one of the juiciest burgers in town, perfect to wash down with a locally brewed craft beer.

    Whatever your predilection or taste, cuisine of choice or your budget, you may rely on Andrew Delaplaine not to disappoint.

    Delaplaine dines anonymously at the Publisher’s expense. No restaurant listed in this series has paid a penny or given so much as a free meal to be included.

    Bon Appétit!

      INTRODUCTION

      W hen in Rome do as the Romans do, and that means enjoying the wonderful food. Visiting Rome may be as much about the food as it is about visiting the museums and historical landmarks. A trip to Rome is certainly not complete without experiencing the food and drink at the many colorful trattorias, pizzerias, ristorantes and gelaterias. For many years Rome’s restaurant scene remained the same and you could stop by a favorite eatery for mounds of pasta but there’s been a recent explosion of new restaurants, Panini shops, street-food stalls, bakeries, and cocktail bars run by a new generation of Romans who are adding a new flavor to the ancient city. Traveling the winding streets of Rome you will find many Italian restaurants in tourist centers. While most restaurants in Rome offer the native cuisine you will also find eateries offering Chinese, Mexican, Indian, and Thai food but beware, the standard is not as high as you will find in other major cities. Once you try the cuisine at the traditional Italian restaurants you probably won’t care to try anything else, anyway.

      The best way to see Rome is to walk, since the transportation can be a bit unreliable, and you can discover so much more on foot. You’ll see a whole world that could never be described in any tour book.  You’ll be lured by the salespeople, the aroma of a bakery, and possibly find a hidden piazza that seems right out of the 16th century (because it is). You’ll wander through neighborhoods filled with families and shops.

      There are restaurants everywhere but you should know a few things before heading out for a meal. First, realize that the Italians have a timetable with restaurants opening for lunch from noon to around 3 p.m., and dinner doesn’t begin until 7 p.m. Since the Italians usually don’t eat until 9 p.m., it’s advisable to dine eat early to avoid the crowds and most likely you’ll also be dining with other tourists. (If you want to eat with the locals, the later you eat, the better.)

      Most of the restaurants located on the main squares may offer great views but the better and less expensive eateries are usually located on small streets away from the bustling crowds. For the most part,
