Food of Gladiators

Stepping in Rome the first thought of a historian is "Museums and Gladiators"  

and that of a foodie is "Pasta" and a Piazza would get you both.

Piazza

 

Surrounded by buildings, a piazza is an open public square. A Piazza is the center of public life there is a bar or a café, a church or town hall. There are many Piazzas in Italy but we have to discuss today. Events may be held in larger piazza, as well as weekly or daily markets. 

Being in a historic Piazza café for pasta is one of the many joys of a tourist but it can be a little expensive.  A Piazza may also be set with tables for a "Sagra", Sagra is a festival where food is served and even cooked by the locals with a passion for cooking.

Pasta Di Piazza (Pasta of Piazza)

Food at Piazza is as cheesy as the Piazza itself and the recipes are as difficult as the names.. Pastas grab all the attention of the tourists as well as the locals.

“Penne Arrabbiatae Funghi” 

It is a penne pasta (cylindrical shaped pasta) with tomato sauce, mushroom onion and fresh chilli. The beguiling smell of a pasta, allows no one to miss it.
