Fiori di Zucca in Rome 2025
Have you ever tried zucchini flowers? Romans first stuff them with cheese and anchovies and then fry them!
Best time: May–August
Italians aren't one to waste zucchini flowers, and typically pick some to prepare a Roman specialty—fried zucchini flowers stuffed with anchovies and cheese. Don't worry, the blossoms are abundant, and there are plenty to fry while leaving some to bear fruit.
The flowering season lasts throughout the summer months.
