This local gourmet food shop was a great find in Rome!…read more One of about half a dozen locations in the Rome metropolitan region, this one is located a few blocks northeast of the Vatican. Passing by I walked in on a whim and was glad I did. Inside it's set up like an old school general store of sorts. Shelves upon shelves of all sorts of food are everywhere you look--from herbs and spices, olive oils and balsamic vinegars, dried pastas of regional brands and variety, candy and chocolates, canned/jarred/dried products from artichokes to lentils to anchovies, roasted coffee beens, even international items Thai curry sauce and Middle Eastern tahini. Hundreds of bottles of wine and liquors line the shelves. Spending about 30 minutes here, I found some pasta and cooking spices to bring back for friends as souvenirs. The prices were higher than a regular supermarket though some brands appeared to be less commonplace (or least I hope they were for those pasta prices lol). Would stop by again if in that part of Rome!

Cute shop with lots of sweet treats…read more Walking around, we stumbled across Frutta Secca Onorati. The employee (owner?) was very sweet. She was quick and helpful. The store is small but every corner of this shop is filled with goodies. These sweet treats aren't cheap, but made with quality ingredients. We brought back a couple of things from here as gifts for friends and family. They loved it all! If you're in the area and looking for something sweet for a loved one, definitely pay them a visit. Cute mom and pop shop.

I was a bit disappointed the chocolate squares are Belgian, but they tasted great, and our kids will never know the difference when we bring these home as a treat for the family. :) I would absolutely recommend this shop. They have plenty of delicious looking chocolates to buy by the piece, as well as chocolate gift items (boxes, bags, and the like).

As busy as it was, the staff was quick to ask if I needed help once I looked at the dessert display. And as soon as I said the word cappuccino, she already reached for the cup and got the order started. The dessert display pretty much has all the good Italian staples. I love pistachio so I had to go with the pistachio cannolo (and a classic for comparison) and a mini pistachio cassata cake. Both were such solid options for dessert without being too sweet. I'd definitely recommend if you're looking for some classic desserts or a coffee in the area.
