The Holy Grail of Roman Food

My apologies for the extreme delay in posting and thoroughly beginning this blog...Italy may be known for its delicious food, but it is certainly not known for its supreme internet (which I have been without for two weeks), a vacation in Israel (of which you will see a variety of different foods displayed) also contributed to the delay...needless to say let me recommence "talking with my mouth full." If the purpose of this blog is to share a common affinity for a mouthwatering delicious meal and document one part of my experience here in Rome then please allow me to share with you some images from our "holy grail of roman food." 

I will say this, if you come to Rome after reading this and do not eat at Tritone, Via dei Maroniti 1, I have absolutely failed communicating my greatest meals to you. This is hands down our favorite go-to splurge on a huge feast or have a simple bowl of the most amazing, perfectly al dente spaghetti pomodoro place. My roommate and I do not discriminate the nights we reserve for Tritone, in fact, we have been known to do a dinner, followed by a lunch next day, or dinner two nights in a row, or any combination of the above...we simply cannot get enough and hopefully some pictures will demonstrate why. 

This trattoria has become our home cooked meal in Rome. Right around the corner from our house, it's the place we run to when we crave not only good food but an enivornment where the warmest people serve you all of whom we now know very well.  Having a place like this where the waiters and manager are all familiar, has in a lot of ways, shaped our time abroad and I think that this restaurant, like the friends and the people we have met in Italy will be one of the factors that draws us back to Rome time and time again. 

GET THE: ANTIPASTI ROMANI, SPAGHETTI POMODORO, PUMPKIN RAVIOLI WITH BLACK TRUFFLES (WHEN IN SEASON), CARCIOFI ROMANI, AND THE TIRAMISU TO TOP IT ALL OFF.
