Borrowed from Italian romanesco (“of or pertaining to Rome”).

bor

To be honest, this hasn't been my Garden of Eden year. […] The lettuce turned bitter and bolted. The Green Comet broccoli was good, but my coveted Romanescos never headed up.

1995, Anne Raver, “Gandhi Gardening”, in Deep in the Green: An Exploration of Country Pleasures, New York, N.Y.: Alfred A. Knopf, →ISBN:

The broccolo romanesco, once found only in Rome, is now being cultivated in Brittany and elsewhere, and people who had never heard of it a few years ago feel free to change its name to romanesco, as in, 'I bought a nice romanesco at the market; now what do I do with it?' (Actually for years Roman vegetable vendors called it broccolo romano and only romanesco recently.) […] Calling it simply romanesco is like calling French fries 'French.' This is serious because romanesco is needed to modify artichokes and zucchini, for which it indicates both local cultivation and a specific variety of vegetable – striated, firm zucchine romanesche and the large globe artichokes known as carciofi romaneschi.

2010, Maureen B. Fant, “The Italian Language of Food: Notes from a Translator”, in Richard Hosking, editor, Food and Language: Proceedings of the Oxford Symposium on Food and Cooking 2009, Totnes, Devon: Prospect Books, →ISBN, page 117:

This beautiful vegetable looks rather like a green cauliflower designed by a mathematician and has lime-green 'spiralled' curds. The curds are nutty and tasty, and romanesco is worth growing just for its good looks. You can use romanesco in the same ways that you would normally use cauliflower but the flavour is sweeter and they look far more impressive. I try to leave them in large pieces when serving them because they're so beautiful.

2010, Geoff Stebbings, Growing Your Own Fruit and Veg For Dummies, Chichester, W. Sussex: John Wiley & Sons, →ISBN, pages 162–163:

You can use squash standbys such as zucchini and crookneck in this recipe, but it's even more beautiful with a mix of colors and shapes, from sunny yellow pattypans to ridged Romanescos to the perfectly round, aptly named eightball.

2014, Gabrielle Langholtz, “Raw Squash Salad with Radishes, Manchego, and Lemon Vinaigrette by Seamus Mullen, Tertulia”, in The New Greenmarket Cookbook: Recipes and Tips from Today's Finest Chefs & the Stories behind the Farms that Inspire Them, Boston, Mass.: Da Capo Press, →ISBN:

Romanesco was my gateway cauli and I've never stopped growing it. Not a variety as much as its own thing, Romanesco is a cauliflower to the French, a calabrese to the Italians. […] Visually, it may be the most remarkable thing you can grow: it is made up of lime-green mini-spirals that coil around themselves in fractal formation.
