Rome is a very ancient city located in Italy. It is the center of the Holy Roman Empire and the representative and birthplace of ancient European civilization. There are a large number of buildings left over from the ancient Roman period. It is still a continuation of ancient civilization. Let me share with you the travel and food guide to Rome.
The differences between north and south China have always been an interesting topic.
Coincidentally, the history and culture of Italy also show a similar pattern: civilization originated in the central and northern parts, and later bloomed brilliantly in the south. The north is thick and majestic, while the south is delicate and delicate. When it comes to northern Italy, what cannot be ignored is the city that Omori went to this time where all roads are accessible - Rome.
In the cities that Omori has visited, it is not uncommon for a place to carry an era, but it is very rare for every historical stage to have its mark like Rome.
The ruins of ancient Rome stand silently, witnessing the changes of time for thousands of years and the rise and fall of the ancient Roman city. Each pillar is written with legends that make people imagine. The Colosseum records that cruel era of fighters, where the classes of nobles, commoners and slaves were forever placed between the viewing steps of different heights and the huge maze at their feet.
The Middle Ages did not want to be outdone in announcing their presence. The churches scattered in the city and the graceful domes set off against the blue sky. How far is the distance between man and God? And in Rome Among the grand epics written by both mythology and the Bible, this city is interspersed with relaxed and romantic violin concertos. The modern city is located at the foot of the ruins without any sense of inconsistency, and the streets are filled with rare tranquility and peace.
In addition to using your eyes and lens to capture Rome and the unique style of the northern Italian city, there is also a more direct way: taste exploration.
Whether it is steak, seafood, chicken or other ingredients, Italian food culture has given them an attractive appearance and first-class taste. There is no forced change of too many seasonings, but a kind of modification. Respecting the original flavor, using appropriate combinations of ingredients and cooking methods to bring out their unique taste feast.
Omori strongly recommends TEAROOMS next to the Spanish Steps.
The summer specialty fruit tea is a generous blend of a variety of fruits, perfectly blended with black tea. It is perfect for sitting down with friends to drink tea and chat when you are tired from shopping.
The color matching throughout the store is great, making dull summer days colorful.
Pizzeria da Baffetto, a pizza restaurant that is said to make Romans crazy because diners will start queuing outside before it opens.
The store is not on the roadside. It is in an alley. When there are many people, people will take a mat and sit directly at the door to eat. In fact, this casual way of eating is really rare in Europe. thing.
In fact, if you don’t go to a Michelin restaurant in Europe, you can lower your mentality. Foreigners really don’t think so much about the dining environment and service attitude and then give a comprehensive score.
Perhaps in their view, the pizza shop is a place to meet their needs. If you think so, maybe this shop will bring you some surprises.
The pizzas in the store are weighed according to quality. You can order the minimum of each item, order a few more items, and then sit on the steps and eat it with a Coke, which is a unique taste.
There are a lot of pigeons in front of the pizza shop. I guess they are used to being fed pizza here. If you accidentally drop a piece of pizza, it will be snatched up by several pigeons.
I went to Italy and it would be a shame not to eat steak once. Although it is said that the best steaks are in Florence, IButteri in Rome can also almost share the same score.
This unassuming restaurant is small in size and the decoration at the entrance is not ostentatious, but there is never a shortage of food explorers to visit.
A large steak of 600g is enough to satisfy every meat lover. Five or medium rare is a good choice.
You can smell the burnt aroma when you hold it from a distance. After cutting it, you can see the tender and juicy meat under the rough appearance. The middle is still red, but there is no smell of blood at all, especially Beef close to the bone tastes great!
Pair it with half a bottle of Italian red wine or a glass of freshly brewed beer. What could be more satisfying than a life of wine and meat?
Maybe you may not have the opportunity to go to Rome in the near future, but the taste of northern Italy is not out of reach. In a corner of Jing’an, Shanghai, an authentic Italian restaurant called Luccio’s quietly opens. The restaurant’s name, Luccio’s, comes from a famous fish in Italy that has been popular since the Roman Empire and is believed to capture the essence of Italian cuisine. Since the boss highly advocates the food and wine culture of northern Italy, the chef hired is also very good at cooking various seafood and Venetian snacks.
What makes Omori most happy is the recently launched Canadian lobster, which is grown in the cold and pure original waters of the Atlantic Ocean and is known as the "King of Seafood". Pasta or lobster ravioli go well together.
The fat and cholesterol content of hard-shell Canadian lobster is very low, but the protein content is extremely high. Foodies who want to diet and lose weight no longer have to suffer from the painful struggle between weight and food. Is there anything better than this!
As for desserts, Omori particularly likes their chocolate salami. Slightly bitter but very mellow dark chocolate, mixed with crushed cookies, has a rich aroma in every bite, and is stronger and fresher than chocolate cookies. If you like desserts but don’t want them to be too sweet, you must try this.
In addition to cooking authentic Italian family food, Luccio's also has an excellent selection of wines. The boss has traveled to various Italian production areas and specially imported them to Shanghai. There are well-known brands and rare ones outside Italy. of wines, as well as fine wines from boutique small wineries. Restaurant guests can taste wine on site and take their favorite wines home.
Perhaps the uniqueness of Italian cooking is that it expresses nature perfectly, using fresh and high-quality ingredients to prepare them in a sincere and honest way, so that the taste and aroma of each food will not be lost. Eradicated, let down.
As for the appearance, the dishes are presented with an attitude towards art, especially the exquisiteness shown when making desserts, which is the elegance and love we have been seeking in life.
