This delightful restaurant hosted my final meal in the eternal city. That’s not to say I won’t be blogging more about my Roman experience. You’re in for a treat over the next few posts. Rome is home to some pretty spectacular eateries and you simply must know about them.
Fratelli Scarpetta was a surprising find for me. Usually, I’d only frequent Repubblica because of the 24 hour pharmacy. But now, I have reason to return. Any restaurant which can convince me to eat fish is special. And on fish did I feast. Alici ripiene con mozzarella. They were quite special, as promised by the waiter.
They were nicely crunchy but gooey in the middle. There weren’t too many bones, which is a great relief to me. Just don’t eat the tail!
Normally, I’d only eat guanciale on short trips to Rome. It is in such short supply in this country that this is my only opportunity to gorge myself on cured pork cheek. However, for this starter and main, I decided on something different…
