Hosted by Barbara Foria, a Neapolitan-born comedian and presenter who has made Rome her adopted home, and Fabio Esposito, a TV host from Naples with a passion for exploring new cuisines, Pazzi di Roma takes viewers on a flavorful journey across the Italian capital.
Each episode features Barbara and Fabio as they explore a different neighborhood in Rome, uncovering the city's culinary traditions, meeting locals, and tasting iconic dishes. The tour begins in Testaccio, the beating heart of Roman authenticity, where the hosts dive into traditional street food, visit a historic trattoria, and connect with a family of artists whose love of cooking runs through generations.
Their travels continue along the Tiber River and into Trastevere, inspired by a video message that rekindles their desire to experience the true dolce vita. Here, they discover classic Roman plates, unexpected flavors, and the warmth of Roman hospitality.
In the Jewish Ghetto, the duo is welcomed by Ruben Bondì, who introduces them to the rich and flavorful world of Giudaico-Roman cuisine. In the Historic Center, a group of lifelong friends joins them for a laughter-filled day of tasting gourmet sandwiches and time-honored specialties.
At Garbatella, a historic working-class district, they savor a legendary pizza al taglio, explore contemporary reinterpretations of traditional dishes, and meet a dynamic all-female kitchen crew. The final stop is Appio Latino, where Barbara and Fabio are welcomed by an adoptive Roman family, try the city’s classic grattachecca, and enjoy a cuisine that blends tradition with creativity.
