Franchi
- Rome, Italy
- Restaurants › Deli
Franchi is a longstanding foodie landmark, and great for a swift lunch or snack, or to stock up on stuff to take home. Assistants in white jackets work with a dexterity that only comes with years of practice, slicing hams, cutting cheese, weighing olives and preparing panini. There’s also wine, vegetables conserved in oil, and truffles. Ready-made dishes include poached salmon, baked melanzaneparmigiana or zucchini a la Barese (Bari-style courgette), to take away or eat at stand-up tables. Locals swear by its fried dishes, such as supplì.

L.U.I.S.E.
A chic little deli that’s a gourmand’s playpen, L.U.I.S.E. peddles everything from plump local cheeses to homemade foodstuffs and bottles of luscious wine. In the back room, lunching nine-to-fivers tuck into warming osso bucco, nourishing risottos and homemade gnocchi. Busy travellers can take away, with freshly fried pizza fritta, crisp arancini and sugar-dusted pasticcini crema amarena (pastries filled with cherry cream).

Zeb
Part gourmet deli and part sophisticated lunch counter, Zeb is among the very best new options in town. Besides sophisticated salads and contorni (sautéed vegetables), the brilliant Giuseppina and family invent a daily panoply of roasted meats, cheesy quiches, local favourites like simmered cow stomach, and the remarkable cappellaci (giant ravioli) stuffed with pear and pecorino. Brava!

L'Arturo Enogastronomia
At the entrance to the sassi, this small deli, built from recycled materials, is a cool hang-out for students from the nearby Conservatorium of Music. A rustic wooden table fills the tiny back room; a great place to crowd around a bottle of wine.

La Latteria
A popular lunch spot and well-stocked deli where you can sample typical Lucanian cuisine but where cheese reigns supreme. Try the provolone in grotta - cheese matured in a cave - or the cheese platter.

Caffè Italiano
Swish as you might wish, this is a Taranto hot spot, a classy cafe with excellent foccacie, coffee and ice cream, and outside seating on the pedestrianised street.
