In Episode 12 of Bites of Italy, we head to Testaccio, one of Rome’s most authentic and delicious neighbourhoods.
🍷 What to expect:
Forget the tourist menus—this episode is all about the real Roman kitchen. We explore three unforgettable local restaurants where the food is hearty, the wine flows, and the dishes are steeped in tradition.
🍝 Highlights include:
• Roman meatballs in rich tomato sauce 🍅
• Pasta with pajata (yes, really!)
• Wine-soaked cookies from the coast 🍷🍪
• A restaurant built into a hill of ancient amphorae
• And… why spaghetti and meatballs is absolutely not a thing in Italy
💡 Plus, we break down some local eating customs and etiquette—like why you should never order cappuccino after lunch.
🎧 Whether you’re planning a trip or just dreaming of your next Roman bite, this episode is your guide to eating like a local in Testaccio.
