Rome is a city where you can eat at all hours. At every moment of the day, however, there is a very specific “street food”, as if it were a sort of rite that has consolidated as a result of popular custom.
In this article I will tell you only about real Roman street food, so no to kebbabari, no ethnic, no to regional street food (Sicilians, etc… ) but yes to all the original snacks and street food 100% Roman veraci!
Let’s start the ranking immediately, and then let’s see what are the favorite snacks of the Romans and the places not to be missed in which to eat them!
THE SUPPLÌ
Torture – Centre
Born from an idea of Arcangelo Dandini, Supplizio is the street food prêt à manger in which the chef gives life a culinary history to be savored, aimed at recovering the flavors of a childhood lived between Rome and the Castles. Among the unmissable are the Classic with rice, chicken rigaglie, tomato, mozzarella, Parmesan (3 euros), and the supplì linked to the Roman tradition inspired by carbonara and matriciana.

The House of Supplì – King of Rome
A historical institution of Romanity, La Casa del Supplì was founded forty years ago in Trastevere by his brothers Alvaro and Venanzio Sisini, then doubling to King of Rome. The restaurant offers a purely Roman proposal, with pizza cut, breeches, croquettes, but of course it is the supplì that reigns supreme. The Classic (2 euros) is prepared with ragout, peas, livers and beef, while among the most interesting variants are the supplì with cod cream and Roman artichokes (3 euros) and the timeless cheese and pepper (2.50 euros).

This is the case of Maritozzo Rosso, a place in full Trastevere that has decided to combine traditional dishes with a section entirely dedicated to the husband. The prices vary depending on the size: among the most interesting proposals are the husband with piglet filleted in sweet and sour (from 5 to 8.50 euros), the husband with tuna tartare, capers and chocolate (from 6 to 10 euros) and the Maritamisù (6 euros), which contains the two most loved sweets in the capital.
