They grew it. Italy was a land of large farms, vineyards and olive groves. If the demand were greater than the supply, the Romans would import foods. Egypt and Sicily were the two main wheat growing provinces while Spain supplied top grade olive oil. The means of importation was usually by ship. Overland caravans were used, but they were expensive and time consuming. The ships could carry more cargo, did not have to be fed and watered like pack animals and generally made the trips faster.
Rome did a lot of trade to get what they needed. People outside the city also grew crops and raised animals to eat.
Food was important to the ancient Romans just as it is important to you, me, and everyone else on the planet. We all have to eat.

What impact did geography have on Rome's Success?
The geographic position of Rome contributed to its security and its expansion. Being inland from the Mediterranean Sea, shielded Rome from surprise sea attacks. This security was enhanced by building a seaport on the Tiber River where it empties into the Mediterranean Sea. The city was surrounded by seven hills which also helped for security in the early days of Rome. Later as Rome expanded, it found itself in the middle of the Mediterranean which was perfect for administrating areas to the east and west of the Italian Peninsula. Rome's proximity to Sicily and its conquest gave Rome access to control shipping across the Mediterranean Sea.
