This blog will contain my ponderings, cravings, adventures, and perhaps the occasional mishap involving my culinary travels abroad. Coming from a family with a deep love for good food, I am excited to document and share my gastronomic experiences with all who have a passion for an excellent meal.
My first "oh my God" food moment in Rome took place in a pizza shop near Scuola Leonardo DaVinci and just off of Corso Vittoria Emanuele. The restaurant is called "Zucchero and Farina" (Sugar and Flour). There are beautiful breads and pastries, and the pizza that made me pause. My first slice had broccoli and an unknown sort of sausage on it. The meat of course made me hesitant, but the broccoli was delicious and the texture of the crust perfect. On my second visit, two days later, I stuck with a traditional mozzarella cheese slice. While the cheese was delightful, the sweet tomato sauce was absolutely to die for. This was the Italian pizza I had been waiting for. Not only was this slice one of the most delicious things to ever grace my taste buds, it was also about 2 euro! A bargain and a belly-full! Needless to say, I will be heading back to this joint on a regular basis!
Ciao,
Emily
Yes, you are clearly from a family that loves food! I hope you will take me to this wonderful spot, as well as many others you have staked out. Bring on the gelato. xoxo
