Rome Special Edition: FOOD

Welcome to the Special Edition of my Rome post whereby here is all about the food that we had. First of all, would like to introduce to u italian's biscotti (aka biscuits). Went to this patisseria and tried some of their bicuits:



When u're in Italy definitely cant miss their GELATO!! So we tried several flavours from several gelaterias. Here's one we tried near the Trevi Fountain:

The taste was just so-so. Hence, we decided to find out the BEST GELATO IN ROME and we came to this shop which was situated along the way to Trevi Fountain. This shop should be quite popular as there was a huge newspapaer cutting framed up and placed in front of the shop. The interior of the shop is very different from other gelaterias as this one looks more classy. Present to you, San Crisspino:

Their famous for several flavours like honey, pistachio, hazelnut. We tried the honey (beige), pistachio (green) and rum with cocoa (brown). The latter was the BEST!


Itlay's well-known for pizzas and pastas and basically thats what we always have. We tried out one of the pizzeria at Fontana di Trevi whereby they charge the pizza according to the weight. U rtell them how big the slice of pizza u want and they'll weigh it. Below is the size of a quarter pounder:




They were GOOD!!
On one of the evenings, we headed to Piazza Navona for dinner and came to this restaurante/pizzeria called Navona Notte. They were having special meal deals & we decided to give it a shot. We ordered this meal for 2 comprise of 1 appetizer (antipasti), bread, and 2 main course (pizza/pasta). It was only 7.50 Euro per person and they tasted GREAT too. Verdict: VALUE 4 MONEY.
