Product Description
When in Rome, eat as the Romans do! Discover the hidden gourmet joys of eating and drinking in Rome just like the locals. Organized by neighborhood, the book is a tour through the gourmet treasures of the eternal city and features detailed reviews of it's best restaurants, markets, and specialty shops. Diane Seed, a locally based food expert and teacher, packs each section with details about which products or wines to seek out, which local eateries are musts, and which not-to-be-missed dishes are authentically local such as the fried artichokes of Trastevere or the Orvieto from the hills outside the city. Seed divides Rome into nine prime areas to explore, coordinating her culinary suggestions with the major sites in each area sure to be on a visitor's itinerary. Peppered throughout are forty traditional Roman recipes usually taught at the author's cooking school in the Piazza Venezia neighborhood.

Customer Reviews
Best book ever on Roman dining!
I just returned from Rome having read Diane Seed's book prior to my departure. Armed with my notes for the kind of places and areas that I like, I ate exclusivley at her recommendations. They were all spot on; believe me, Diane Seed is the real deal! She knows her carciofi from her zucchini. I have lived in Italy in the past, was a former chef, speak Italian, and work in the travel world, and all I can say is for my last meal on earth I would request the Artichokes al Mattone at Evangelista for my piece of heaven on earth.
Rome's food...........
