Confetteria Moriondo & Gariglio
Roman poet Trilussa dedicated several sonnets to this shop, and you can see why. It’s no ordinary sweetshop, but a bygone temple of bonbons. Rows of handmade chocolates and sweets (more than 80 varieties) lie in ceremonial splendour in old-fashioned glass cabinets. Moriondo and Gariglio were Torinese cousins who moved to Rome after the unification of Italy, and many of the chocolates are handmade to their original recipes.

Fratelli Fabbi
A small but flavour-packed delicatessen, this is a good place to pick up all sorts of Italian delicacies – fine cured meats, buffalo mozzarella from Campania, parmigiano reggiano, olive oil, porchetta from Ariccia – as well as Iranian caviar.

Teichner
This is one of Rome’s many temples to food, so wander in, inhale the delicious scents and select from cheese, hams, pickles, pestos and so on. There are also a select few ready dishes, such as aubergine (eggplant) parmigiana.

La Bottega del Cioccolato
This is a magical world of scarlet walls and old-fashioned glass cabinets set into black wood, with irresistible smells wafting in from the kitchen and rows of lovingly homemade chocolates on display.

Gusto Italia
Angelo Biagi is the charmingly enthusiastic force behind this small, well-stocked deli. He sells homemade pasta and many other delicious items – try the fantastic Sicilian pesto.
