Rome Italy Cooking Porchetta
Cooking Porchetta
After a night on the town, drinking fizzy Lambrusco and “little or no sleep,” we were anxious to go to Rome for our last Italian food and wine pairing. We boarded a train to La Spezia, where we transferred to an express train to Rome. It was standing room only. All of the seats in each compartment were taken. Betty managed to sit on our luggage in a Pullman car hallway. I stood from La Spezia to Rome. The Italian crowd returning from vacation was annoying and aggravating. Regretfully, I took out my frustration on a baggage carrier who wanted to help us with my luggage. Don’t ask!!
When we arrived in Rome, I was agitated and “pissed off.” Therefore, I went into the first trattoria’s door I came to, seated myself at a table, ordered a plate of Pasta Arrabbiata, angry pasta, with a glass of Cori Rosso, a local red wine. “Man, after I ate, I thought that I was the coolest guy in Rome.” Then, I went to my room and rested. Betty went shopping on Via Veneto.

- Carving and Serving Suckling Porchetta
That evening, we went to a restaurant that was recommended to us, for its porchetta. We enjoyed a side of sautéed Roman artichokes and roasted potatoes with our porchetta. We paired the porchetta with a bottle of Lazio’s Apritia Sangiovese; a wine made from the same grape as Chianti but is a bit lighter than Chianti. I had previously prepared and ate suckling pig, but this was a first for authentic porchetta dinner from a mature hog.
Today in Italy, particularly in and around Rome, there are stores and porchetta cookeries that keep the Italian community supplied with fantastic porchetta.
We have many more Italian recipes for you at Food Wine Italian, our Italian web site for lovers of Italian food.
