» Castroni - High end international food store and coffee specialists. Castroni not only sells classic treats from back home like baked beans and HP sauce but they always have a fine (though expensive) collection of artisan liquors as well as cheeses, hams, salames and the like - ideal gifts for loved ones back home.

  » Another place to get international foodstuff is in the Conad supermarket on the underground level of Termini Station, while outside Termini on the Via Giolitti side you'll find Rome's most international neighbourhood all based around Piazza Vittorio Emanuele - Chinese, Korean and Indian supermarkets and fast food and some of the best kebabs in town.

» For fine Italian fresh produce, visit the market by Arco di Travertino Metro (Line A) every day until 1pm, where farmers from the Castelli Romani townships outside the city sell their produce.

  » To avoid plastic pizza and extortionate prices, steer clear of Pizza-by-the-slice (Pizza al Taglio) in the historical centre.
