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.
Ginger
Restaurants

For when you're wandering around the historical center (centro storico) and want a snack (a smoothie prepared on the spot, a fruit platter) or a full-blown meal with healthy options (quinoa salad, anyone?). Ginger is walking distance from Piazza di Spagna but far enough removed from the hubbub that you can enjoy your location (and your treats).

When you enter the Gregory's, you'll forget you're in the heart of Rome, just meters from the Spanish Steps. You'll feel you're somewhere in Brooklyn in a secret location where only a few lucky ones have the honor to sit and enjoy some top quality jazz in a very intimate setting. You go there to experience something different in the Eternal City.

Whether you're looking for a meal, fresh groceries, or a place to sit and have a chat over a beer, this is a great choice. Fresh bread from the baker, a variety of pasta dishes, pizza, hamburgers, vegan/vegetarian, Sicilian specialties, sushi or truffles? This is the place to go when you can't decide what you feel like eating!

Sacco

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.

It's a typical Roman osteria: they serve traditional Roman dishes and specialise in wine with a selection of around 100 labels. The atmosphere is familiar and the design is rustic. Come here for a taste of everyday Roman life!

You should visit this place for its great food, super friendly staff (the owners are always there and happy to meet you) and laid back typically Roman atmosphere. The price is also another great reason.

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.

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.

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!

I Vascellari is simple and hearty, both in terms of its cuisine and its ambience. If you're looking for really good traditional Roman fare at a reasonable price, swing by for lunch or dinner, and dig into a typical Roman pasta dish. Tip: don't miss the after-meal espresso, as the coffee here is reliably good!

A 16th century Charlie Hebdo, 'pasquinate' translates in Italian as lampoons, and the worn statue called 'pasquino' in the corner of this piazza was the first of 'the talking statues of Rome', where citizens would anonymously stick leaflets criticizing or poking fun at the government of the day.

If you're craving an excellent sandwich (we all do at some point), this place is really a sure bet. They have every type of combination from very meaty to vegan to seafood. There is a great sandwich for everyone. And the best part: the bread if always nice and warm. We really cannot ask for more! Yes, there often is a lineup but they are quick.

Filettaro is a traditional Roman trattoria with a short list of dishes and great house wine from Castelli. It’s an old place that makes you feel as if you’re back in the 50s when all that was needed was some food and a jug of great wine. In summer they have tables on one of the smallest and most ancient squares in Rome by Santa Barbara Church.

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).

Economic and very local, this is one of the best places for tasting Amatriciana pasta. The staff is really nice. Booking is necessary because is very famous between locals, call at the beginning of week. Locals love this place because is very Roman!
