Fiore di Zucca's Secret?
ah the classic roman rabbit dish, probably "coniglio alla cacciatora" style, so the 'something' was likely a ton of rosemary, garlic, and maybe some olives or anchovies. next time just ask the waiter for "il segreto del coniglio" they love that stuff
Was it a dark, almost winey sauce? Could be "coniglio alla romana" which is a braised rabbit with tomatoes, white wine, rosemary, and anchovies. The anchovies melt right in, you'd never taste them as fish, they just add that deep savory note. If the sauce was more brothy and pale, they might have done "coniglio in umido" with just garlic, sage, and white wine, maybe some pancetta. Either way, the secret is almost always low and slow cooking with a splash of vinegar or wine right at the end.
That's awesome you had such a great meal! Finding out what's in that rabbit dish is a quest worthy of a Roman holiday. Unfortunately, without a menu or knowing exactly what it was called, it's a tough one. Maybe try contacting Fiore di Zucca directly, their website might have a menu in English, or you could email them. Failing that, posting a picture of the dish on r/Rome might get you some hits... Italians are passionate about their food, someone there will probably know! Good luck with your culinary detective work!

What are current tobacco prices for LM Blue or Chesterfield Blue?
tbh duty free at Riga is only worth it if you're buying cartons, single packs at the airport arent that much cheaper than teh tabaccai in Rome. also remember you can only bring a limited amount into the EU anyway so stockpiling has its limits
Chesterfield Blue usually runs around 5.50 to 6 euros a pack in Rome these days, though tabaccai prices are fixed by the state so it won't vary much shop to shop. Riga is generally cheaper for cigarettes but your layover time matters, if it's tight you might not have time to clear security and find a shop.
LM Blue in Rome is roughly the same ballpark, around 5.50 to 6 euros. One thing to keep in mind at Riga airport, the duty free selection isn't always great for specific brands like these, so if you're set on LM or Chesterfield you might strike out. I'd check what the actual duty free has before counting on it.
