Better still, trust the places our locals have recommended – we guarantee you’ll taste the best Italian food and simultaneously skip all the tourist traps.

This place is a must for all coffee lovers and addicts. You can have a coffee at the counter and you can also buy special blends to take home. The beans are mostly imported from South America. The espresso is amazing, as is the shop itself.

Tiramisù is a popular Italian dessert made with coffee, mascarpone cheese and eggs. It's a fresh "pick-me-up" (that's the literal translation) dessert that’s not often available to take away. As Pompi is the temple of tiramisù, you can either take a seat or take away. Come here if you want to try the best tiramisù in town!

No matter what time you get hungry, this is a place you can count on. It’s a creative space that falls somewhere between an old Italian kitchen and a New York style loft. The menu is inspired by traditional Italian cooking, although international dishes are also available. It’s also a cocktail bar and a pub that serves artisanal beers.

Just imagine the setting: an industrial New York style loft with a striking terrace right by a wild river. Then add creative content: recycled furniture, international DJs playing electronic music, art exhibitions, a cinema, an arts-crafts-vintage market, a dance school, brunch, aperitifs and a chic restaurant. THIS is a real factory!

You should head to this place for the freshness of the ingredients, the daily specials which are always different and the cozy decor. The waiters are super friendly and good to give advice; they'll even choose for you if you're completely undecided.

Keep in mind that the best ice cream parlours in Rome aren’t always flashy. This one definitely isn’t. If you want to try a premium ice cream, order the "gelato dei gracchi”. They also serve unusual flavours such as green apple and mint, ricotta and pear, toasted almond, fig, chestnut and many more.

This is a great little place to stop for breakfast or lunch, but it particularly shines at dinnertime—literally, since the fairy lights strung about gift a glowing atmosphere. Sacco is tiny but full of life at all times of the day, with the after-dinner bunch enjoying a cocktail or two at the outdoor tables.

Larger than most bars in Rome's center, Rec 23 offers something for everyone and gets quite crowded. If you're looking for food, you can order anything from Roman classics to abundant salads, and they have a great weekend brunch. This is a popular spot even during the week, and they pride themselves on their mixed drinks, so pop by after dinner.

It's a great and cheap place in the nice neighborhood close to the metro station Bologna. You will find there all food gems of Sicily, I strongly suggest arancini al ragu (fried rice balls filled with mozzarella and beef) and brioche con gelato (pastry filled with ice cream).

If you’d like to sample some traditional Italian baked goods, come here. It’s one of the best bakeries in Rome as declared by a national jury. They offer pizza by the slice made from authentic ingredients, as well as cakes and "ciambelline al vino" (typical Italian wine cookies). Take some home and dunk them in a glass of decent red wine!

This is a place worth visiting because the quality of the gelato is really at its best. At Cecere, you'll understand what an Italian homemade ice cream cone (or cup) should taste like. The flavors are few but all extremely yummy.

If you want to go back in the early XX century, listening to good jazz music and eat some traditional and antique street food. If you want to find the real homemade amaro liquor. If you want to be sure to take a great bottle of italian wine. All for a good price.
