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.

Oh my... there are so many good things to say about this place on Via Tiburtina in San Lorenzo, a short stroll from Termini station. Bingol is certainly a place that even locals will come to from all corners of the city. Everything is fresh. The falafel is perfectly crisp. The Turkish rolls are great on the go. And the portions are super generous. Read more ›

Romantic atmosphere, fantastic food

Paris in Trastevere

This is a big statement, but this might be my favorite restaurant in Rome. Set in Trastevere, one of the oldest and most charming neighborhoods of the city, Paris, who despite its name serves traditional Roman fare, is an oasis of tranquility and fresh food in the middle of a busy area and a busy day.

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 ›

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 ›
