The Bounty of Rome
By MIMI SHERATON
Published: March 26, 2006
HOW does Rome taste? An odd question perhaps, but the sort that comes to mind when I read travel accounts that define cities by sights and sounds, colors and tempo. What about the flavor, I wonder, meaning that more literally than figuratively.
The Bounty of Rome
Chris Warde-Jones for The New York Times
At Volpetti, a delicatessen in the Testaccio neighborhood, from top: Emiliano Volpetti, the owner, sniffs a Parmesan cheese; a pizza out of the oven.
Say Rome to me and my first thoughts are not of the swirling traffic around the marble wedding cake that is a monument to Vittorio Emanuele II, nor of the eaten-out stone melon that is the Colosseum, nor of the "Dolce Vita" set as immortalized by Fellini. Rather, I think first of the creamy foam, or spuma, that tops lightly sugared espresso at the always jammed Sant'Eustachio around the corner from the Pantheon, the coffee bar that I still consider this city's best.
(from the New York Times)
