It’s here! I know it seems like I’ve been talking about my new book forever, but it’s finally arrived. Today, after much writing, talking and of course eating, my new book Eating Rome is finally on the bookshelves, both real and virtual!
I’m so happy and proud and thrilled to share this with you. As you know by now, this is a work of love that’s been going on for the last few years. Based on this blog, the book is, more or less, my own personal homage to the city that’s been feeding me, literally and figuratively, for most of my life.
My blog was the starting point for the book, and is the inspiration for a collection of recipes, lists, tales and tips that I’ve collected over the years I’ve spent eating my way around the city. So yes, there are recipes, but there is also a lot of advice on where to eat, shop and snack if you do make it to Rome. And photographs: lots of pasta, pizza, and of course artichoke-filled photographs that I took myself.
But the greatest opportunity in writing this book is that it allowed me the chance to go beyond the blog. So you’ll find stories too. Stories about my family, my neighbors, my friends and all of the people who have taught me how to shop, cook, and eat my way around the city I am lucky enough to call home.
I’ve already written about how the book came about, and don’t want to repeat myself, but if you’re curious you can read about it here.
And if you’re really curious (and I hope you are!) maybe you’ll consider buying a copy? You can get it from Amazon or Barnes and Noble, on line. And if you just can’t wait for it to be delivered, you can download it this very minute onto your kindle. And if you’re lucky enough to live near a bookshop, then by all means please go straight away and support your local vendor.
Thank you!!!
Congrats!!! I cannot wait for my copy.
Are you going to have a book signing in Rome?
Maybe when the weather is a bit nicer, thinking of something in D’s courtyard like we did for David.
First off: Congratulations!!!
Is there any book stores in Rome that carries (will carry) the book?
-sigurd
Thank you! I”m not sure when it will be in Rome, but am trying to find out. Will let you know!
On my iPad. Pre-ordered. You’re big in Canada ;-). Will be in Rome at the end of the month with my iPad. Thanks!
I wonder what it looks like on an iPad? Thanks for downloading!
Received an email that my copy had shipped!
Very excited 🙂
will there be a book-signing tour in the states?
No, no book tour, sorry!
Perfect timing! Just ordered a copy for my mom {via Amazon Europe} who is returning to Rome again in May.
And keep me posted on any book signing dates …
I just received my copy and it is wonderful! Will be doing a review on my blog shortly and I think you are going to sell many, many copies. I love all the tips as well as the recipes all about Rome. Thank you for such a fabulous book!! I am hoping it will help me in the future should I get the chance to visit Rome, which is on my bucket list!

Thanks Rosemary, I’ll look forward to reading your review,make sure you let me know when it comes out. And don’t worry, even if you don’t come to Rome, you can always cook from the book and pretend you’re here. 🙂
Yippee! My copy arrived today! I can’t wait till bedtime so I can read and read and read and of course look at all the special pictures. It will be so wonderful as it is a cold raw April night and tomorrow will be the same. Congratulations Elizabeth! xox
Thanks Kathy!! Let me know how you like it. And of course, hope you cook some of the recipes too!
Bravissima ed auguri Elizabeth! I so enjoy reading you blog and following your photos on Instagram. I’m looking forward to adding your cookbook to my well-used and well-loved cookbook collection!
Yipeeee!!! I got it yesterday (in Toronto) – actually UPS beat their commitment and Amazon.com met theirs. Now all I have to do is sit down long enough to read it. Looks great. We love you.
Fantastic! And happy to hear that Eating Rome is being delivered on time in Canada, since I had heard there was a delay. Looking forward to hearing what you think!

My copy arrived in the mail this morning and I made the mistake of looking at it before lunch! Non e’ giusto! It looks beautiful and I can’t wait to curl up with it and read it cover to cover. Congratulations Elizabeth!
My copy arrived today. It is beautiful. I can’t wait to read it!
I received your book today after previewing it on Amazon. What a great resource. Congratulations! I’ve been reading your blog for quite some time and enjoy it thoroughly. Your videos are a wonderful addition, too. I’ve already made several of your recipes and have found them delicious and relatively simple to make, which is a wonderful combination! Thank you for the inspiration. Now we’ll have to plan a long delayed trip to Rome.
Thanks so much for the kind words! Yes, I agree, a trip to Rome is certainly in order!
Congratulations Elizabeth!
I was so happy to have received my pre-ordered book yesterday from Amazon and it is a real beauty. I have already flagged some recipes I have not tried before.
Thank you, thank you, thank you,
Sincerely,
Marianne
Let me know how they turn out! And if you have time, please leave a review on Amazon. Thanks so much.
I bought your wonderful new book at Munro’s Books in Victoria BC. We’ll be in Rome (staying in Monti Home) in May & can hardly wait to put Eating Rome to good use!
So glad you found it in Canada,especially since several other people told me that Amazon in Canada has it back ordered by several weeks. Hurray for the independent bookstore!
Congrats on the new book! Will have to add this to my collection to remind me of wonderful weekends spent in Rome over the past few years (I live in Paris, so it’s an easy quick trip away). Italy has easily become one of my favorite destinations; I think I came 5 times last year. I try to visit new countries, but Italy always calls my name. The book looks beautiful, excited to see it.
Complimenti!
What a marvelous accomplishment, I can only imagine your relief and excitement to send your baby into the waiting world! I’m going to walk down to my local bookseller today and tell them that if they have not stocked your luscious contribution, well, they should! I simply cannot wait to dive in.
Hi ! I discovered you and your awesome blog through your fabulous new cookbook at a bookstore in Durham, North Carolina just last week ! I love it and am very grateful. I married a roman (last year) and am now going to attempt cooking like one even though we live state-side! Thanks, Elizabeth !
Here’s to marrying Italians!
I just bought your book at a Barnes and Noble near Philadelphia — they had a sale space for about a dozen of them and I got the second to the last one left — my hunch that they were selling well was confirmed after your blog mentioned that the book is going into a second printing — congratulations!
I am thrilled with the book — I like the mix of story-telling, travel and culture advice, beautiful photos and recipes. This kind of travel book feels more “complete” than one just listing favorite restaurants, etc. (though that can be very helpful too). My husband and I both teach art and design in Phila. and have started to travel to Italy on a regular basis, so far always in the winter — few crowds, almost empty churches. I almost feel like we are able to experience looking at stuff, rather than just being a tourist looking at stuff.
Anyhow, I really enjoy the blog and your book and wish you the best!
Camille
Thank you so much for letting me know! Glad to hear the book is literally flying off the tables!
Wow your book looks amazing! I am visiting Rome in April for my mother’s 60th birthday. We are looking for a special restaurant where we can celebrate the occasion, can you recommend? In the mid to high price range 🙂
Have you had a look at my app, Eat Italy? It has all of my favorites in it. Also, do you want classic and traditional?
Sorry for the late reply! Unfortunately I can’t find your app! (Maybe because I live in Denmark and have the Danish google playstore?) So any recommendations you have would be appreciated. Classic and traditional sounds great, ideally somewhere with a great view, or just somewhere beautiful inside! Our budget is around 100 euros per person 🙂 Thank you!
Unfortunately my app is only available on the iTunes app store. I don’t have offer it for android. Sorry! And unfortunately I’ve lost track of your original request. Not sure what city you are asking about.
