Food and Italian wine – Holidays in Rome
Food is an integral part of the culture in Rome, with dishes that are full of flavor and reflective of old Roman traditions. Fresh vegetables, inexpensive cuts of meats, pasta and cheese are typical ingredients in Roman dishes. Food establishments flourish in Rome, with pizzerias, family-run trattorias and trendy restaurants in full supply. Pasta is categorized in two basic styles: dried and fresh. Dried pasta made without eggs can be stored for up to two years under ideal conditions, while fresh pasta will keep for a couple of days in the refrigerator. Pasta is generally cooked by boiling. Under Italian law, dry pasta (pasta secca) can only be made from durum wheat flour or durum wheat semolina, and is more commonly used in Southern Italy compared to their Northern counterparts, who traditionally prefer the fresh egg variety. The springtime festival showcases the many ways the artichoke can be cooked in Trastevere neighborhood. The only downside to being in Trastevere is that everyone wants to be there. That said, as Trastevere can be a bit noisy at night because of its reputation and attractiveness towards nightlife, finding a quiet place to stay can be challenging. Usually the trick is to stay away from the Piazza Santa Maria in Trastevere and Piazza Trilussa areas as these places are covered with bars, wine bar and pubs.
