Topic: Rome and food!

I'm going to Rome this weekend! I have my sightseeing all planned out.

There is just one thing that I'm worried about. I love Italian food and I'm looking for the not so touristy places to have a meal, I'm looking for the real deal, not some tourist trap that serves crappy food for high prices! wink

Can any Romans(or ex-tourists??) help me out and point me to some nice places to eat? tongue

Re: Rome and food!

Don't go to rome to eat, take a bus to some back water place and eat there.

Not many people know this, but I own the first radio in Springfield. Not much on the air then, just Edison reciting the alphabet over and over. "A" he'd say; then "B." "C" would usually follow...

McDonald's!  I hear they have this awesome thing called a "Big Mac!"  And if you're really adventurous, you can ask them to do something called "super sizing it!"  Basically, it gives you more of their delicacies for a small additional charge.

Yeah, I have heard it isn't all that flash.

Your = possessive. As in, "your grammar sucks."
You're = you are. As in, "you're an idiot for not knowing the difference."

Cook up a can of chef boyardee with a cigarette lighter and eat it with a wooden popsicle stick on the steps of the Pantheon. Al fresco!  Buon mangiare!

Re: Rome and food!

I agree that Rome is pretty much more for sightseeing. And shopping.
If you want a decent italian meal from a guy who doesn't understand a word of english, you should go to some small town in the hills.

But that's pretty much for all countries...

This forum is stupid.

I do NOT recommend you head to the hill country of the US to find food from monolingual cooks

You might contact the auto club
