"Pasticceria Boccione" in Rome is not for you if you're after pretty, Instagrammable desserts! But every pastry is just delicious in this Jewish bakery...

"La Fraschetta" is a neighborhood hangout in Rome for the locals -- Sandro doesn't get many customers who aren't Italian men in their fifties or older!

"Opulentia" in Rome is one of my favorite places to get pizza bianca in the city. It's not just that it's high quality - the staff is friendly, too!

"Dar Filettaro" in Rome is a hole-in-the-wall kinda place off Campo dei Fiori. It's usually full of locals craving traditional fried baccala -- salted cod!

"Mercato Testaccio" is the original foodie neighborhood of Rome. My favorite street food kiosks here are 'Mordi e vai' and 'Romeo', for different reasons.

"Panificio Bonci" is the best bakery in Rome and well-known as the "king of pizza". I go there to buy slices of delicious pizza and other baked goodies!
