I saw little kiosks selling fruit on our recent trip to Rome, and I wondered if the fruteria or fruit stand is the place to buy fruit when in Italy, or whether a grocery store can have just as fine a quality? We've rented an apartment in Rome for our return trip next March, staying near the Pantheon, and I'm trying to recreate the amazing fruit breakfast we had at our hotel in Florence. We were given blood oranges, perfectly sweet, strawberries, kiwi, and ripe Bosc (seemed like) pears. Since coming home, I've fallen in love with Cara Cara oranges and wondered if Italy sells anything close to that variety there, too. I read online Italy commonly sells arancia di Ribera (a type of Washington navel orange grown in Sicily) and arancia rossa (blood oranges), but I didn't know if Rome was like other big cities where it literally has access to everything and any Cara Caras would be imported from the US.
Does anyone have any recs for a grocer or fruit stand in Rome that takes particular pride in selling perfectly-picked fruit? I don't mind paying a premium for my in-laws to have a great experience for breakfast. We'll be landing around noon on a Wednesday and leaving Monday morning for another city (so weekend-only markets aren't my 1st choice).
