Blogging about my experiences and sharing my thoughts about Rome, Italy and beyond.
It’s given that you can get some really good pizza in Rome. What Rome is well-known for is pizza al taglio or pizza by the slice. It’s not a slice of a round pizza but rather these pizza are rectangular and you can decide how big or small of a slice you want. You would [...]
While I was writing the post on Sicilia e duci, it dawned on me that I have never written a post on my favorite bakery in Rome – Regoli. Even before we moved to Rome and would be here just for the holidays, we would stop by this bakery. Along with a few other places [...]
Stepping into this bakery in Rome was heaven and hell all at the same time. Heaven because I loved the selection they had and hell because I can’t have at least one of everything. I didn’t stumble on this charming bakery which specializes in Sicilian desserts by chance. It was thanks to Revealed Rome who [...]
During the holidays, you see panettone everywhere in Italy! Commercials on TV, gift baskets and basically on every Italian table as the dessert for Christmas. Every year, we would also find a panettone in the Christmas box my husband gets from his company, which by the way is soft and delicious. In general, I prefer [...]
That’s all there is to the ricciarelli recipe? This was my reaction when I was researching some ricciarelli recipes online. I have always seen ricciarelli sold in supermarkets during this time of the year but never thought much about them as pandoro, panettone and variations of them are the main “dessert” on most Italian tables [...]
This pumpkin ricotta pound cake as the dessert for Thanksgiving fared better than the usual pumpkin pie. Thank goodness! Year after year, I would find myself looking at an untouched pumpkin pie. My in-laws just don’t seem to fancy it and each year, I would stubbornly continue to make it hoping they would finally enjoy [...]
This apple dumpling recipe is not an Italian recipe at all, and the only connection that comes to mind is that the Trentino area is renown for their apples. Even though I post mainly Italian recipes, I felt a strong pull to try this recipe and I explain why further in this post. Initially, I [...]
This bakery in Rome doesn’t sell the typical Italian goodies but caters to those who want a change or miss cupcakes, carrot cake and red velvet cake like I did this morning. I was making my way to visit Norceria Viola in Campo dei Fiori, thanks to the post written by Elizabeth Minchilli, but got [...]
Since my first visit to the kosher bakery in the Ghetto on the tour with Context Travel, I have made an effort to drop by every week for the amaretti. They are delicious with a slight crunch as you bite into it but then realize it’s actually soft, chewy and a serious dose of almonds. [...]
I am not sure if ciambelline al vino can be classifed as an Italian dessert as it’s perfect for anytime of the day. Last Christmas, some friends gave us some ciambelline al vino and as it was the holiday season I indulged on them. Recently, I decided to see if I can make some ciambelline [...]
