Rome - Cheese shops/Specialy food stores.
I know Italian food is regional. When I travel I like sampling various different types of local food products; especially chocolate and cheese.
Since I'm visiting Italy, I would also like buy some local deli meats/cold cuts like pancetta, proscuitto and salami.
Can fodorites recommend any good stores in Rome that I should visit.
Thanks in advance.

I have to second Volpetti if you are specifically looking for a deli type experience. Also, as ellenem said, the grocery stores are fabulous and many have excellent deli counters.
If you want to see some pix of Volpetti, I was just there in March and have photos on my website. Plus, since you like "sampling" Volpetti is the place for you; they give tastes of almost everything.

What are you planning to do with the pancetta? With a few days in Rome, I wouldn't think you'd have time to cook, and you cannot bring meat products into the US...

Zerlina, sorry for the slow reply I haven't logged on for a few days.
The panchetta I was thinking of is ready to eat, it is round and sliced at the deli counter. I wasn't thinking of buying anything that need to be cooked.
