Rome is a big city with a wide selection of places to eat. If you're looking for a budget meal or fast food, please avoid McDonald's and get an authentic slice of pizza from one of the many pizza shops – they’re on every corner!

If you prefer eating at a restaurant, try a typical Roman trattoria. 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. Dishes not to be missed include pizza with supplì (fried rice balls), homemade ice cream, carbonara and amatriciana pasta.

Known in Italy as an enoteca, or wine bar, VinAllegro is by far my favorite of the area. Centrally located (literally in the heart of Trastevere) yet tucked away enough to give it the advantage of not being continuously overrun by tourists, it's a perfect little spot for a date but also for aperitivo with the girls - or the guys!

A friendly vinyl café

Yeah!

You go to a friend's house, he offers you a drink, he shows you his vinyl collection and you spend the rest of the day (or night) listening to great music while chatting and drinking together. Sound familiar? Well, the atmosphere here is pretty much the same. Cool, yeah?! Read more ›

Wine & beer aperitifs

Oasi della Birra

This is an historical wine bar in Testaccio where you can enjoy one of the best aperitifs in town. During the day they operate as a delicatessen (selling selected wines, chocolates, coffees and cheeses etc.) but from 5 pm the shop transforms into a great bar/restaurant with a popular rustic atmosphere.

SantoPalato

Trattoria: tradition and innovation

SantoPalato

Very casual but very good. Excellent wine list. Just a few courses but very well executed. First of all, here priority is food. Something that should be obvious in any restaurant, but is not. The rest is functional to good food and to impress you with atmosphere-related items. So, the kitchen is small and simple. Read more ›
