 At Yodvada, the well-known kosher restaurant, they serve fried artichokes that have been expertly prepared, offering thin potato chip crispy leaves. And the 200-year-old bakery, Pasticcieri Boccioni, sells mahogany-colored ricotta cheesecakes with a bottom layer of wild cherries. So, yeah, Rome is Rome. But there is more to Roman cuisine than first meets the eye.
