Historic Roman gourmet institution, among the most famous deli/restaurants in Rome and one of Italy’s top 5 wine bars. Recently showcased in Anthony Bourdain's black and white Dolce Vita-style Rome episode of "No Reservations" Roscioli's shelves carry 450 different kinds of cheese, more than 100 different types of cured meat, a wine list of 2200 labels, 20 different homemade breads. And the goods are handled by a professional team of expert sommeliers and talented chefs. The Roscioli family–true to perfect Italian tradition–has been working together since 1969.
Thanks for the info, looks like a place I would need to visit on my next visit to Rome.

ReplyDeleteIs this the place near the Pantheon that you pointed out to me--but was closed that day?
Did you watch Bourdain's "No Reservations"?
xo
Wow. A great place to ear at, I am sure.
ReplyDeleteOoh! I watched most of that episode, but did not catch all the names. Now I have this one! Grazie!
ReplyDeleteI like this shot very much. A lot going on. So many different stories in one picture. Well done.
ReplyDeleteReally like the foreground - background - moving bike contrast. How could anyone pick from such a huge selection? Perhaps you just turn yourself over to the staff and pay whatever bill they give you.

ReplyDeleteYou must indeed visit this place!!

I don't think it was this, but it definitely is one of my all-time favorites. I did see the episode, and have provided a link to the first third of it above.

Yes, the staff is great, you really feel pampered when you are there. Whether shopping for gourmet delicacies, or eating at a small table by the deli counter, they always make you taste something new and special, or offer up delicious food/wine pairing options.
Drooling...
Oh! This would be a fabulous place to visit!
ReplyDeleteThis looks wonderful. I was wondering the same thing as Bob was.
ReplyDeleteThat woman with the white bag looks like she's sniffing it. There must be something delicious inside.
Signorina Eleonora, you are killing me. I MUST go back to Roma. (the plan is the Last Supper in Milano, more of Firenze, and then Roma. Can I do it? Time will tell...
ReplyDeleteThat sounds too good to be true, I would haunt that place if I were there! Your photo is great, I like your perspective and capture of all the little details: graffiti, people, bike, moving bike...
ReplyDeleteLouis~
ReplyDelete...and to stay a while. They do great wine&cheese tastings...

The woman w/ the white bag is biting into a perfect slice of pizza bianca (not focaccia), which has just come out of the Roscioli oven. She may have also had that perfect slice stuffed with some mortadella which, thanks to the abovementioned heat, may have dissolved beautifully...

Jeff~
It's not a question of can or cannot. You MUST do it!

Lots of activity in just a few square feet... but that's how it always is in and around Roscioli...
Ciao a tutti, happy snapping
I'm writing this down right now to remember. I'd like to be there right this minute. I wish they'd hurry up and figure out teleportation
ReplyDeleteWhen you come visit, I'll take you there for a meal to remember, in the meantime my 5 yr old is working on teletransport... I trust he'll find the formula soon.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great shot. I feel as if I'm right there next to you. This really comes a live. Funny how two of the pedestrians are chatting away on their cellphones! Thanks for your visit to my blog. Enjoy the day.

ReplyDeletethank you for stopping by! I'm happy you like this photo, I love it because it captured a perfect Roman moment, the goal in effect of this blog.
Ciao and come back soon!
Wonderful photos. They whet the appetite to return to Rome. Did you know that the word "ghetto" comes from the word "geto" which is Veneziano for "foundry?" The Jewish ghetto in Venice was decreed in 1516 and built on the former site of a foundry on the island of Cannaregio. And that the ghetto of Venice, due to the crush of many people in a small space, resulted in the first high rise buildings in Europe? Affascinante, non?
ReplyDeleteODP~
ReplyDeleteI knew the term originated in Venice, but didn't know the exact etimology, thank you for the great educating info! In Italian foundry is "fonderia" so the Venetian term must root form some other language, Greek or Cypriot maybe. Fascinating indeed, grazie!!
Ciao
