What to eat in ROME, ITALY | Roman FOOD TOUR - Pizza, Rome street food, Pasta | Italian FOOD

WHAT TO EAT IN ROME, ITALY | Rome food tour
We're in Rome, Italy! In this 3 part series we're exploring Italy's capital city to hunt down the best Roman food. Rome has a distinct cuisine- one based on nose to tail eating, punchy bold flavours, fresh ingredients prepared simply and they love their street food.
This is our second video from Rome and we're eating street food plus Cucina Romana (Roman cuisine) from a traditional, local restaurant. We start at Mercato Testaccio and hunt down one of the city's best sandwiches- a braised beef sarnie filled with bitter greens. It's utterly delicious and well worth eating. Next up we head to a famous bakery that has a long history of producing maritozzi, a beloved breakfast bun made up of sweet dough piled with whipped cream. We wash it down with an espresso before heading for a more modern Roman street food snack- trapizzino. Trapizzino are a sort of pizza pocket- fluffy, chewy dough encasing traditional Roman dishes like tongue cooked in salsa verde, tripe and chicken cacciatora. They are SO good! We finish up at a raucous, fun restaurant where we eat horse, traditional Roman pasta (cacio pepe), tripe and bull's testicles!! What a meal!
We hope you enjoyed this Roman food tour! And we hope it helps you in your search for what to eat in Rome! #romanfood #romefoodtour #italianfood

We're all about eating what and where the locals eat. You won't find food that's been created merely to be social media worthy on here- no rainbow bagels, gold leaf soft serves- just genuine, authentic food that tastes incredible.
From street food to mom and pop restaurants, we want to show you the best and most authentic food we find on our travels.

So.... who'd be up for eating bull's testicles and/or horse? Let us know in the comments below! 😆

[@FoodandFootprints]

Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena You know we are!! Had horse in Sicily a few years back - good stuff!

[@ChasingaPlate]

Can always count on you guys! How did the horse come in Sicily?

[@FoodandFootprints]

Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena Had it grilled with some lemon squeezed on top. It was thin sliced and lean but cooked nicely. Enjoyed the unique flavor and went well with red wine! This block in Catania had a few places offering horse

[@cynthiapannell5313]

My first experience with horse meat wasn't the greatest...we were in a little cafe in Paris and the owners kept insisting it was beef. With my first bite I knew it wasn't beef...it was sweeter than beef, very stringy and had a gaminess to it. Had they been honest about what they were serving I probably would have liked it. Haven't had bull testicles yet...one of these days. Here in the western USA they are frequently called "Rocky Mountain Oysters!"

[@keithmasumoto9698]

Definitely! Those were very nicely prepared. Thomas's description makes the testis sound like sweetbreads, delish. And the horse appears to be a secco treatment , better than the raw Japanese basashi ! But that tongue sandwich, oh my!

[@gotenks81]

Thanks from the deep of my heart for having given me the chance of doing this wonderful trip in the city I was born in and whom I'm missing so much, after almost 4 years in Japan completely alone. Had to hold the tears back 🙂

[@ChasingaPlate]

What a lovely message to receive! Thanks so much for watching Daniele and we’re so glad you were able to return home via the video. We love Roma- we didn’t want to leave 😍 It must be so different to Japan 😝 Hope you enjoy our other Rome videos mate. And we hope you’re keeping safe and healthy. Cheers, Sheena

[@meghanreeves3866]

My bf and I went to the last restaurant...it was fantastic!!! He was a bit taken aback at the “no menu” thing but what they brought us was delicious and priced very well. It’s a bit off the beaten path but absolutely worth it! I had the carbonara and he had a tomato based pasta with two sticks of liver at the end! Thank you for the recommendation!!

[@ChasingaPlate]

Been to Rome last year. Trappizino is the best thing I’ve ever encountered. Waiting time is crazy but it’s worth it. Never tasted something like that

Never confuse Olive Garden with Italian food. It is Americanized food to please the average American palate of people who grew up on Chef Boyardee.

[@jaspers5863]

Lol. Olive Garden is like Burger King.

Olive Garden is a Burger King type fast food place.🤭

The strict lunch and dinner times drove me crazy when I was in Parma, especially when you were starving and nothing was open! So bizarre but wine does a pretty good job of filling you up and they serve wine 24/7 lol

Cacio e Pepe!! Im going to insert my own Holey Moley moment. I could taste it. Where was those lovely shavings of Pecorino when you made spag boll in Belgrade. Yum Yum. I would totally have been deported to Port Arthur in the 1800's as l would steal that Cream Bun, that would be worth it. Another stunning vid of Rome👍

[@ChasingaPlate]

[@tosht2515]

*_Mordi e Vai_* - Everyone's go-to spot but I skipped for some reason. 😐 A super popular sandwich in the U.S. is called ... "Italian Beef." Ha! Yup. The roll is either dipped like you filmed or the entire sandwich is completely dunked! in the jus. Brought to Chicago a century ago by Italian immigrants but available all across the country. Delicious. *_Trapizzino_* - They came to NYC with a ton of fanfare. Never had much interest personally but as with the Sushirrito (sushi burrito) and Cronut (croissant donut), I'm sure a Trapizzino style pizza sandwich will become ubiquitous soon enough. 😀 *_Betto e Mary_* - The bull testicles I've had were not as battered as these; sliced thinner, flour dusted only, fried and served with sauces. Quite tasty and should be more common but still treated as a novelty by the general public. *_Really fun food day, guys!_* Looks like you got to know Testaccio. Is that where you stayed?

[@ChasingaPlate]

Hi Tosh, hahaha Italian beef. That sounds epic. When you're next back in Rome you must try and get to Mordi e Vai- it really was a special sandwich. The trapizzino took us by surprise- it's not something we'd usually be into either but we kept hearing such great things and we liked the idea of the traditional dishes used as fillings so we thought we'd take a punt. It was totally worth it! The bull testicles you had sound great- would love to try them that way. We were actually staying in an area called Monteverde- it was fabulous- a little way out of the centre but that didn't bother us. Great energy and a local market two minutes walk up the road. We did spend a bit of time around Testaccio and Trastavere though- loved walking through those areas. Ahhhh Rome- can't wait to return! Thanks for watching this one Tosh, so glad you enjoyed it! Cheers, Sheena

[@tosht2515]

Don't get me wrong, I'm not opposed to modern, new, fusion, molecular, you name it and even dishes that start out "gimmicky" can become a favorite. I bet you and Thomas never saw *_"Carne Asada Fries"_* in Mexico, eh? Invented in southern California it's chopped carne asada, guacamole, cheese and sour cream piled on top of a mound of fries. Delicious comfort food. Relatively new, it's all over the U.S. west but can be found across the country. So, I'm not disrespecting Trapizzino but as Thomas mentioned in the vid, there's always initial trepidation. 😀

[@ChasingaPlate]

Oh my goodness- carne asada fries sound EPIC!!! Must try them if we come across them! 😍😍😍

[@FoodandFootprints]

Ahhh trapizzino has popped up here in NYC over the past few years here too, but haven’t tried it yet. Looks really tasty! Ohhh look at that tongue with that green sauce - immediately caught my attention

[@ChasingaPlate]

That’s right! You must get there! Hopefully the standard is the same- we would definitely eat those again- that pizza bread was fantastic and the fillings were AWESOME!!

[@arem4633]

You know what? After endlessly watching your past videos, I have become more adventurous in my food repetoire/ when I go travelling nowadays. And... nowwwww I gotta try cow's tongue & bull's balls??? Goshhhh the selection is endless 🤩😃🤩😃. I laughed when Thomas said " this is a serious cream bun" cuz I think so too, the cream bun is huge guys & looks delicious. And Sheena, I hope you 'll get a sponsorship of some sort from THAT lipstick brand cuz boy owh boy, the lipsticks were still intact no smudge at all even after you took a big bite, everytime!! I'm seriously impressed 😃😃. TQ for a wonderful vid as usual, looking forward to the next one. Take care & cheers Thomas & Sheena! 💚💜

Yum...like cream bum! Lol but cannot eat!

[@mercylove9664]

Does the chicken pocket has cheese? What about the bread! May I know where is the place?

All the details for the restaurants are in the description mate 😄 No cheese from memory but still absolutely delicious! Thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena

Every time your teeth crunched through those bready crusts, it woke up my appetite! I'm a huge fan of nose-to-tail eating, like you, Sheena! Unfortunately, especially in the US, it's getting hard to even find offal meats, and the preparation of them is becoming a lost art. I've tried beef and pork testicles, and both are good *IF* properly prepared.. The horse meat you had looked like it might have been salt-cured or dried, to be that stringy. Sort of like Asian pork floss. Pasta....you can never go wrong with pasta! Awesome Rome series, guys.

[@ChasingaPlate]

Hi MsKestrela! Thanks for watching and commenting 😍 Ahhh yes Asian pork floss is the perfect thing to liken that horse to! How were the beef and pork testicles that you tried prepared? It was pretty neat to be at a restaurant with such a wide range of offal dishes- bet you would have loved it! I'd be super keen to hunt down some more quinto quarto restaurants the next time we're in Rome! Omg the crunch on the bread 😂- my mouth is watering just thinking about it!! Hope you're having a great week MsKestrela! Cheers, Sheena

[@MsKestrela]

@@ChasingaPlate I had the testicles at a "Rocky Mountain Oyster roast" (euphemism for testicles here in the US), but they weren't roasted, they were sliced, breaded, and deep fried. Crunchy on the outside, creamy-chewy on the inside. SO good! It cracks me up when people cringe at eating things like intestines, but love sausages....not knowing that sausage casings, usually, are the small intestine of the critter the meat came from. As always, thanks for your reply, Sheena!

[@ChasingaPlate]

Hahahahah so true about sausages!! Love the name Rocky Mountain Oysters! 😝😍

[@debbieschenker8732]

Great suggestions, but perhaps next time in Italy someone could teach you how to eat spaghetti without it falling out of your mouth. Stab it, separate from the pile and then twist.

[@ChasingaPlate]

Thanks for watching. Loved filming in both Rome and Italy. Thanks for the tip. We’re happy with our eating style. Thanks. Thomas
