Hello and  welcome to Rome! Join me on this incredible food journey through the Italy’s capital city of Rome   Let’s go! I’m on a mission here to try All’ antico Vinaio sandwiches and this is not an easy   mission because even some of the local people that I know never managed to try one of these  

Sandwiches because the queue is always too long and some people don’t want to wait for an hour   to try these famous incredible sandwiches so let’s see if I’m going to be lucky today the queue is here as expected let’s queue up and get a chance to try these sandwiches

The queue is moving relatively fast I definitely hope it’s worth the wait Once you’re inside that smell of bread is just overwhelming Wow a very successful mission I managed to buy two sandwiches I didn’t want to make  

Any commotion so I just chose the ones on the offer, La Winter and La Dicembre 8 euro each I think this is a great   price especially for a Rome City Center and let’s see if if they are up to the hype?

Okay so two things about the sandwiches first of all they are made out of homemade   bread and they are huge that’s the second thing  okay so one of them has a type of pancetta (bacon) then wow   a lot of cheese there’s some greenery and there’s some spread inside this one should  

Have a Toscan Prosciutto and okay again some spread some yellow spread as well because it was   too crowded and I had to make my choice quickly but let’s start with a bacony one just huge huge pile of bacon falling out with each bite uh this is well worth  

The money excellent sandwich this is an amazing sandwich and worth the money everything I like   the only drawback for me is that the bread is not warm they didn’t toast it   they didn’t heat it up maybe if I told them so they would do it but that place is just crazy busy

Okay let’s go with the second sandwich very nice sandwich as well fresh ingredients nice bread but I do prefer the first one with   the bacon it’s easier to chew uh there are more different ingredients inside there’s more taste to it. That cheese inside is quite good

How would I rate these sandwiches so this one would be my definitive choice and   this was the bang for the buck out of 10, I would give it score 8.5 out of 10 the other   one though it’s nice probably 7 -7.5 this one here was worth waiting definitely the bacon one  

Probably somehow you have to become regular in this shop and then to get maybe the best   sandwich there possible but like this there’s not much time to choose what you want to get   when there is a huge queue of people waiting  Antico Vinaio sandwiches were great experience and after some sightseeing let’s move on… 

So see you at the next place On my way to the Trevi Fountain I came across these two fantastic ice cream shops so enjoy the view It’s very hectic around the Trevi fountain I think it’s time now to continue with the food adventure

Here I am in front of the Seu Pizza Illuminati one of the best ranked pizzas in Rome this is Neapolitan style pizza the restaurant looks a little   bit fancy for what I’m used to when going to Neapolitan pizzerias but let’s give it a try This place usually needs reservation and uh if you want to  

Order something this is the menu they use this QR code menu and this is definitely the   fanciest Neapolitan Pizzeria that I was in, pizzas look amazing true Neapolitan but let’s order something and try Pink pizza??? I don’t think I will be ordering pink pizza. I ordered classic Margarita pizza with buffalo cheese

Okay so this has to be THE most beautiful Neapolitan pizza ever if pizza was judged solely by looks these guys are the winners There isn’t much of a crunch on cornicione on the crust but it is   full, full of air and even when you take a slice it’s really, really light

The tomato sauce is San Marzano so the premium tomato sauce from Campagna and   it has that acidic taste but also sweetness to it this is a top ingredient mozzarella is   also quite good uh the dough in the middle is soft but also a bit on the chewy side   

Cornicione has slight crunchiness but it’s mostly soft full of air though basil is put afterwards   fresh so that kind of creates a bit of change in taste than when you usually eat Margherita I’ve chosen Bufalina or Margherita pizza with mozzarella bufala on purpose  

Because this is the basic pizza and here you can really test and taste the dough These ingredients which make Margherita great pizza and this pizza fulfills everything   that Neapolitan pizza should now is this the best Neapolitan pizza that I’ve eaten uh not  

Really so I would place it maybe on the third place so far there are at   least two better Neapolitan pizza places that I’ve been to and enjoyed pizza. Table for one person €1.50 this is normal in Rome you can expect this in  

Many places Natia this was a 1 liter of water which I couldn’t drink of course 3€, Bufala 12€ this should be like a normal price I think for Rome So there it is guys one of the best rated pizzeria in Rome and especially when it comes to Neapolitan style pizzas

I’m still in the same neighborhood but now I’m headed to a traditional Roman restaurant making thin   crust Roman style pizza. Here I am in front of the Ivo a Trastevere restaurant this is a well-known local   restaurant serving the best thin crust pizza as well as other local Roman foods so let’s go

I decided to order pizza Salsicia and some fried croquettes This is a famous thin crust Roman style pizza the dough is very light and the crust is quite crunchy so this pizza is really out of this world you can see a bit of air in  

The dough but the thing is it’s soft in the middle it’s really crunchy here at the   end and this sausage here homemade sausage is for me the star of the show An incredible pizza, if you want to try a real thin crust Roman style pizza this is the place

If you are in doubt that you’re in Rome just look at all these  motorbikes parked here Just a few steps down the  same street there is incredible shop called Antica Caciara selling Italian traditional cheese and dried meats. From Sicilian cheese different pancettas huge wheels of Pecorino and everyone’s favorite Guanciale bacon

Our next and last place is just across the river into the Testaccio neighborhood, so let’s get going Here I am in front of Ristorante Jole, La Cucina Romana di Nonna, which means Grandma’s kitchen   or food from Grandma’s Kitchen this restaurant is famous for authentic Roman food so let’s go

Okay we have the special today one starter the name is Carciofi alla Giudia deep fried artichoke two pasta special one fettuccine with ragu of lamb tomato and lamb and ragu of octopus the   octopus fresh tomato um olives, capers and the second special we have the deep fried lamb with potato

It was a long walk from the city center but I’m finally in Ristorante Jole and I also got briefed there are some specials for this evening and I think I’m going to go   for fried artichokes this evening and fried lamb just to go with all things fried.

This restaurant is located in Testaccio neighborhood it’s a bit far from the center but here also   tourists and locals come to eat. Thank you. Oh wow! Wow this artichoke looks like a flower First bite of the artichoke Amazing looking artichoke

The petals are crunchy and full of taste but the artichoke is so soft and juicy Wow thank you thank you wow this   dish speaks for itself crispy looking costolette di agnello or lamb cutlets   with some roast potatoes I’m going to add some lemon and this already looks like a feast

This lamb chop started to fall apart how tender it is This just shows to you that Italian food is not only about pasta or pizza these   lamb chops are a next level dish  excellent addition to these lamb chops Just look at the color of this meat perfectly cooked lamb and just another perfect Popsicle

This was definitely among the two best meals I had since in Rome Here is the price I also got some discount which is nice  Well there you have it guys, Ristorante Jole a perfect food not in the heart of the Rome, just near it so you need to step out of the  

City center but once here you can enjoy this amazing food I hope you enjoyed this video and if you did please like and subscribe and I will see you next time all the best
