Supplì Roma

"Even if you’ve eaten too many pastries for breakfast, you’ll need a snack before your late dinner. A deep-fried rice ball from Supplì Roma is the move. This busy, pint-sized takeout spot in Trastevere changes their flavors daily, but you’ll probably find Roman staples like coda alla vaccinara, a rich and tomatoey oxtail stew, cacio e pepe, or carbonara. Break one in half, and stretch the melty cheese like an accordion before absolutely housing it. They do other things besides supplì, too. The most worthy being a slice of pizza rossa, which is smothered in an anchovy-and-garlic-laden marinara sauce so shimmery you’ll want to ask for its skincare routine." - gillian mcguire, annie replogle

"Despite the name, this busy, pint-sized takeout spot in Trastevere serves things besides supplì. The most worthy being a slice of pizza marinara, which is smothered in an anchovy-and-garlic-laden tomato sauce that’s so shimmery, you’ll want to ask for its skincare routine. If you’re in the mood for something without sauce, get their slice topped with zucchini flowers and anchovies on a bed of mozzarella. And if you’re still hungry afterwards, load up on supplì (especially the coda alla vaccinara, if they have it) and fried filets of baccalà. Take your haul around the corner to Piazza San Cosimato and dive in. " - annie replogle
