PAM Local is one of those places that's just fun to walk through when you're visiting Italy…read more It's a full grocery store, but everything feels more interesting compared to what you'd find back home -- from fresh produce and prepared foods to packaged snacks and drinks. Easy to spend time just browsing the aisles. The prices are insanely good. Local Italian wines, salami, snacks -- you can grab a lot here without spending much. I picked up a bottle of Montepulciano, some coppa, Nutella, and a few other things. Definitely stop in, fill your backpack with goodies, and you'll have snacks for your room, easy light lunches on the go, and be very happy. A great stop if you're nearby -- even just to explore and pick up a few things. You'll leave excited..

Great supermarket for water, snacks, and other miscellaneous items at super affordable price.

These are lifesavers and can be found everywhere rather than the shops that are there to rip off tourists. Go to PAM for your necessities : )

Great prices for everything. A store that offers no less than six types of breadsticks is the place…read morefor me. The quality of the goods are excellent, fresh and varied. This is not a place for fruits and produce for those inclined to subsist on less carbs and animal products. The cashiers at the two places in Prati were not exactly welcoming, and I did my business in Italian, didn't ask any annoying questions btw.

Great supermarket . Ideal size. With most everything you may need during a brief visit to Rome…read more Great service from cashiers

An upscale market in heart of Campi d'Fiori, quite close to Roscioli bakery (there's a cafe and a…read moresalumeria also). Nice products, loads of wine, a larger full service grocery store. Between his Italian and my Spanish, tried to hunt down some unscented detergent for his brother. They didn't carry any; all perfumed. Bought wine. Outa there

Carrefour is a common grocery brand in Italy, not unlike jewel/dominicks/etc…read more They have both organic and non organic produce. Things to note: you need to add a stamp to your weighed fruits/vegetables (look for the tag # on the produce sign). Cheeses are awesome and cheap. Real wine isn't (look for the aaa/doc label). Oh and italy = easy access to figs, cheap pesto, other goodies. Remember that here, uncle ben's is an import food. overall, home cooked food made from food obtained at a carrefour will beat food at a tourist trap restaurant anyday. I strongly suggest exploring a carrefour if you are in Italy for the first time.

Pure and unadulterated pleasure…read more Whatever you have been working towards, You have now encountered Life's Rewards. * * * The leprechauns were confused when they thought the Pot of Gold At The End Of The Rainbow was in Ireland. The pot of gold is not in Ireland. It is in Rome at the Pasticceria Barberini. * * * Pasticceria Barberini is an old school 1920's pastry shop. Yeah yeah yeah, they play Italian rap on the sound system. But the tile on the floor, the decoration on the walls, the marble, the benches and the tables, these are all old school Roma from before the war. I wish they played Neapolitan tenors of 1925 from when the bakery was founded and not Sferra Ebbasta's and Capo Plaza's hits from last week. But for THESE pastries, they can play whomever they like, whenever they like. * * * The pastry selection is vast and massively massively tempting. Prudence limited me to two pleasures. Those pleasures were epiphany, nirvana, and the concluding moment of passion all in one. The first item was a chocolate bigli. (That is a cream puff or beignet - but in an Italian shape.) This. Is. The. Little. Kid. Chocolate. Dessert. Of. Your. Dreams. A sudden Niagara of chocolate happiness. The pastry is small. But you could not take any more happiness in one dose. * * * The chocolate bigli was the second best pastry I had. Yes, you heard that right. Second best. * * * The first best pastry was more of an adult pleasure. Not so much chocolate storming around you in every direction. But a subtle mix of complex tastes with as many flavor-colors and striations as a pillar of the finest Italian marble. I am referring to what they modestly call their carrot cake. Carrots are what merely held the cake together. Inside was a kaleidoscope of different savory touches and ribbons of taste. Orange was a regular accent. Hazelnut was a regular accent. Almond weaved in and out of the proceedings. The longer I tasted, the more I found. I could have studied that carrot cake for an hour Eating three slices but taking twenty minutes on each one. (I only had one slice but I wish I could have had three slices.) Each new forkful pulled out a different accent I had not noticed before. A flavor I thought was one thing turned out to be something completely different entirely. That cake was a crossword puzzle and an atlas of the world and a great big history of art book all in one. I could have gone over the details for ages and ages and ages. Each new detail made me happier and happier. * * * Just for the record, Barberini's was originally a milk store. (Yes, in the 1920's Italy had milk stores. Supermarkets were rare and city people did not have a cow. So you went to a milk store to get your daily milk.) The milk store evolved into a gelateria. They added the pastry and became famous for the pastry. The rest is history. Out of a sense of tradition, they do keep a stock of their own gelato on hand. For all I know that gelato could be wonderful. * * * 3/4 of their glass case however is devoted to pastry. With pastries like this, you can easily see why. Someone someday should let me know if the gelato is any good. But it would take the Chains of Prometheus to keep me from ordering a whole plate of pastries the next time that I return here.

Great pastry and coffee shop. The customer service is awesome even though I didnt speak any…read moreItalian, the employees were very welcoming and helpful. The pastries are mini which is great because then you can try more. Had a latte with soy and it was perfect.
