Semester Superlatives: Food

Best Dish: Risotto with artichoke and sun-dried tomatoes (at a bayside restaurant in Xlendi)
Favorite Pasta: Penne all'Arrabbiata from Insalata Ricca (Rome)
Best Roma Style Pizza: Margherita con Bufala from da Remo (Rome, Testaccio)
Most Interesting Pizza: Super Bufala from Dar Poeta.  The style of pizza is all this pizzaria's own, but it really is quite good.  (Rome, Trastevere)
Best Panino: Volpetti's (Rome, Testaccio)
Best Cheese: Pecorino Romano.
Best Gelato: Fior di Luna.  Their Arancia, Fragola, Melone, and Stracciatella are all to die for.  Actually, all their flavors are.  (Rome, Trastevere)
Best Tiramisu: Pompi (Rome, near Piazza di Spagna)
Most Interesting Wine: Fragolino (wine made from grapes that taste like strawberries.  A Venetian specialty, you won't find it (and have it be good) anywhere else.  Wine and strawberries? Sign me up!)
Best Cheapest Food: Carlo Menta (Rome, Trastevere)
