Paciotti Salumeria
The basics
Now in its fourth generation, Paciotti Salumeria (salumeria is the Italian equivalent of a delicatessen) is one of Rome’s gourmet landmarks, drawing locals and tourists alike with its wide selection of artisan salami and prosciutto, select cheeses, homemade pasta, extra-virgin olive oils, balsamic vinegar, olives in brine, exclusive (and expensive) truffles, and countless other treats for the palate. An experienced sommelier is on hand to help choose Italian wine and spirits, and the shop offers gift hampers delivered across the world. The best way to savor Paciotti’s immersive gastronomic experience is to visit as part of a food tour that makes a stop here along with other gourmet highlights in Rome.

How to get there
