Items related to Food Wine Rome (Terroir Guides)
Synopsis
Terroir [the-RWAHR] French. Literally, terrain. Figuratively, a sense of place. Originally used to refer to the particular qualities that soil and climate bestow on wine, terroir now also describes more generally the way local influences--not only geography but culture, history, tradition, and individuals as well--are uniquely expressed in the character of a region's food and wine. Food Wine Rome is a tightly focused guidebook and traveler's companion to the culinary delights of Rome. For each neighborhood, listings are in three categories: 1) dining; 2) gourmet shopping; 3) wine. A dozen or more sidebars add entertaining and informative bits of city lore, culture, customs, quotes, and anecdotes to bring alive the city's historic culinary richness. A glossary of essential Roman/Italian food terms helps make shopping, marketing, and eating fun and rewarding. It is illustrated with scores of atmospheric photographs and an overall map of central Rome, plus detailed maps for each of Rome's nine central neighborhoods, so that readers can find addresses immediately.

Review
I love The Terroir Guides. They give me everything I want. They're a tactile pleasure, compact, meaty. They're lovely to look at, elegantly laid out, mutedly and tastefully colored...positively overflowing with the Who, What, Where and How even an intrepidly independent traveler should know...The Little Bookroom has a knack for putting guidebooks into print that are as useful as they are beautiful. --Wine News
An invaluable key to the city's authentic quaffs and cuisines. Eschewing eateries that are likely to be visited by the bus-group turiste. --Town and Country USA
Delightful publication packed full of information and will be treasured by any foodie. --Bookseller
