Roscioli
$$-$$$, Italian, Campo de' Fiori
Fodor's Review:
What used to be a fairly run-of-the-mill alimentari, owned by the Roscioli family (and owners of the famous forno, or bread bakery, around the corner), is now much, much more. Since December 2002, this food shop has beckoned with a selection of top-quality comestibles just as pleasing to the eye as it is to the palate: whole prosciuttos, wild Alaskan smoked salmon, fresh regional cheeses, a dizzying array of wines, and the best prosciutti (including those not of Italian origin, like the Spanish Bellota Iberica and Pata Negra varieties, at about $100 per pound). But hidden within this sleek, slate-and-chrome interior is a restaurant. That you'll get top-quality cheese and salami, oil, vinegar, and bread is a given, but it's worth expanding beyond what's in the display case to try menu items like a homemade pasta with duck prosciutto, or the potato gnocchi with a sea urchin sauce, both original uses of fairly esoteric (but steadfastly Italian) ingredients. Whatever you choose, all dishes are made to be paired with one of the 800 wines on offer (and if you book ahead, you can reserve a table in the cozy wine cellar beneath the dining room).
