I'm planning on eating my way through London, Paris and Rome this fall. What are the top three foods/treats not to be missed in each city?

In Rome, for "antipasto", you may have a "bruschetta" or "fiori di zucca and carciofini fritti". <BR> <BR>For a "primo", you may have some pasta with typical Roman sauces or shellfish, like "bucatini all'amatriciana", "spaghetti alla carbonara", "spaghetti alle vongole veraci", "pasta e ceci", "tagliolini con asparagi" or "ravioli con zenzero". If you've got a brave stomach , the "Risotto alla Romana" or "Rigatoni alla Pajata", from the old traditional Roman cuisine, are delicious. If you don't want pasta and/or your stomach is on the weak side, you may try the "Gnocchi alla Romana". <BR>For a "secondo", you may either have fish ("Orata" is my preferred one, but the "Filetti di Baccalą" fit very well on occasions) or meat, like "Saltimboca alla Romana" or "Coda alla Vaccinara" and "Trippa alla Romana" (both not for delicate stomachs . <BR> <BR>For "dolce", you may try the "Tiramisł" or "Crostata di Ricotta". <BR> <BR>Of course, the espresso is a must ... and so is a gelato at Giolitti <BR> <BR>Paulo <BR>
