    Franchi

    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.
