Frigidarium: gelato
Roscioli’s Restaurant & Deli: you can pick up quick food (suppli, panini, pastries) or dine at the restaurant there

What to do:

Walking food tour via Walks of Italy: tasting at Nona Betta in the Jewish ghetto, Ruggieri’s cheese shop tasting, Viola meat shop tasting, Suppli and beer from Roscioli’s, pizza making at Origano, gelato at Fatamorgana
