These baseball-sized nuggets of goodness are a Roman staple.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Knowing the possible origins of suppli is to understand why they\u2019re so unforgettable: food historians believe the name is derived from the French word <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">en surprise<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a term used for croquettes or other food items encrusted with bread crumbs.

It works like this: at participating bars around Italy, you buy a drink\u2014a glass of wine, a Negroni, or an Aperol spritz, for example\u2014and that opens the door for you to a room of edible delights: big wheels of Parmigiano, prosciutto, salumi, and olives, etc. Some bars even take it a step further by offering more substantial fare, such as pasta and slices of pizza. You\u2019ll likely pay a couple of euros more for your beverage but you\u2019ll also get a feast in return.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The origins of the aperitivo go back to the ancient Rome. The word aperitivo comes from Latin <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">aperitivus<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, meaning something that opens\u2014in other words, to open one\u2019s appetitive.

From this a cafe culture was spawned with Turin denizens sipping vermouth in the late afternoons and early evenings. Naturally, they needed something to fill the belly, so snacks arrived on the scene.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A decade earlier, Gaspre Campari invented his eponymous bitter drink, which became an aperitivo staple, particularly when mixed with sparkling water. Alessandro Martini and Luigi Rossi soon began marketing their very own vermouth around the same time and aperitivo culture was off to the proverbial races.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What started in northern Italy eventually spread south. And today, you can find aperitivo offerings from the top to the tip of the boot-shaped Italian peninsula. And this includes Rome, in general, and Trastevere, in particular.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_21901\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21901\" class=\"wp-image-21901 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Devour_Rome_Trastevere_1042.jpg\" alt=\"A group of people smiling as they toast with glasses of Aperol spritz.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Devour_Rome_Trastevere_1042.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Devour_Rome_Trastevere_1042-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-21901\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">and of course&#8230; Aperol Spritz!<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Basta_Pasta\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Basta Pasta<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you take a food tour in Trastevere Rome or not, you\u2019ll inevitably have a bowl of pasta in front of you.
