La Norcineria di Iacozzilli Rome
Deli in Trastevere
Sarah from Rome
La Norcineria di Iacozzilli, tucked into a quiet corner of Trastevere, is a must-visit for lovers of traditional Roman food. This family-run shop has been serving locals and visitors since the early 20th century, specializing in norcineria — the art of curing and preparing pork.
The star here is the porchetta: perfectly roasted with a crispy, golden skin and tender, herb-infused meat that melts in your mouth. Their selection of salumi and cheeses is equally impressive, all sliced to order and bursting with flavor. Whether you're grabbing a quick sandwich to go or sitting outside with a glass of wine and a platter, the experience feels both authentic and heartfelt.
The owner, often behind the counter, brings warmth and pride to every interaction, sharing a slice of Rome’s culinary heritage with each customer.
This isn’t just a place to eat — it’s a place to connect with history, culture, and the timeless joy of simple, delicious food.

Caffè Ciamei
Oldest license for coffee in Rome

Trajan's Market Walkway
A path through history
"Trajan's Market Walkway" in Rome is a useful shortcut that takes you to Monti, but I use it primarily as a place to stop & soak up the ancient atmosphere.

Via Casilina Vecchia
The aqueduct neighbourhood
"Via Casilina Vecchia" is, for me, one of the most intriguing neighbourhoods in Rome. It feels invisible to the rest of the city & forgotten by modernity.
