Buona Domenica a tutti,

Street food in Italy has existed for centuries, tracing its roots back to the Roman Empire and thriving long before McDonald's was even imagined.

McDonald’s opened its doors in Piazza di Spagna in 1986, when Porchetta Romana, not the Big Mac, was the street food that brought Romans together.

Our Vespa gatherings often revolved around kiosks selling this savory, slow-roasted pork dish.

Porchetta, seasoned with garlic, rosemary, and fennel seeds, was sliced thin and served in a crusty Roman Rosetta roll.

It was quick, satisfying, and a true symbol of Roman life—a tradition that continues to this day.

The good news?

You don’t need an entire pork to enjoy this classic dish at home.

In my latest post and video, I’ll show you how to recreate Porchetta in your kitchen with everything you need to capture its authentic flavors and textures.
