Rome, Italy + Add a trip

Restaurant Gigetto al Portico d'Ottavia

I really like this restaurant in the heart of Rome, in the Jewish quarter. Food is superb and decent prices; very nice place to hang out and near Trastevere.

Shanti - Moroccan style 'teabar' (with cocktails)

Fun place for a late-night herbal tea or a tea-based cocktail.

Rivetto @ Fiori

Joe Rivetto A neat, cool bar in a great piazza in the middle of Rome

Excellent restaurants in Rome

I just started publishing this map for my friends who travel to Rome and ask me advice... I'll keep adding places overtime, but only if they meet my quality standards!!

Just click on the link below...

Restaurant Da Pancrazio

Opened in 1922, authentic roman cuisine (cacio e pepe, carbonara, amatriciana, baked baby lamb) and homemade desserts. In the middle of the ancient runs of Pompey Theater.

Enoteca Buccone

This is one of the most beautiful and classic places to go eat or simply grab a bottle of wine. Even if your intention is not eating or buying anything, just pop in and look around. You'll be amazed!

Geronimo's Pub

(Rock) Music Pub and Biker Bar, Harley's welcome.

Live Music with diverse Rock Cover Bands every night, Friday (Rock, Ska, Punk, Wave '80) and Saturday (Happy, Revival, 80's) Disco after the concert.

Nice food (Pizza, Bruschette, Crostini, Insalate).

Restaurant for meat lovers

If you love meat, you can't miss Er Baffo in Maccarese, on Via della Muratella. At first, it looks like a bar, then it looks like a butcher shop, then it's satellite tv madness, then it's a huge Fiorentina, that you can choose from the meat display, and "arrosticini" and all things meat. Er Baffo even has a website: www.erbaffo.com

Taverna dei Fori Imperiali

I really love this restaurant Via della Madonna dei Monti. It's a family run place just a few steps from the forum and always works out as great value. Make sure you ask what the specials are as the chef Alessio always makes something wonderful out of the day's fresh produce.

For dinner, Antico Arco is an elegant and intimate restaurant perched up on the Gianicolo Hill which you can walk up from Trastevere if your'e feeling energetic and love views over Rome. It's all about the food here though, not the views, which is some of the best in Rome. Well cooked roman dishes and a good wine list. Although this is towards the top end, it's still half the price of London restaurants of this quality. Their Antipasti, 'Flan Cippola' (onion flan) is famous. Eat two! If you go in a group, they also have this great habit of bringing 'piccolo' (mini) dishes of everyone else's selections so everyone can try each dish. How cool is that!

Pizzale Aurelio 7, Gianicolo, Roma (by the Arch of San Pancranzo)

Try the spaghetti vongole.

Excellent food in a very cosy environment. Two steps from the Colosseum

Cheap and speedy. Quality open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Nearby Garbatella Underground Station.

Spaghetteria "L'archetto" it is in via dell'archetto near trevi's fountain. You can eat really good stuff, amazing spaghetti and you will spend not more than 10-12€ per person!!!

It is my favourite restaurant defenitely! Go there ;)

Check the link. It will cost you some 400 euro a week and it sleeps up to four people.You're on a dead end street (beautiful stairs actually) no noice, no stress. Yet you're in an apartment smack downtown, probably the most beautiful area of Rome

there is a site http://www.giggetto.it/index.htm

wonderful roman food, homey atmosphere, low prices! don't miss the mixed appetizers, original carbonara, and amazing desserts like crema mascarpone and ricotta cake!

This is touted as the best coffee in Rome. I wouldn't know about that, but I can say the coffee is excellent, with the bar being frequented by both tourists and locals. It's also very reasonably priced, especially considering it's situated right by the Pantheon.

My favorite places in Rome are:

- "Al grottino" : probably the best pizza (more tha 100 options), good roman dishes (cacio e pepe, carbonara, amatriciana, gricia, ecc...), fabulous dessert. Very affordable prices. www.algrottino.com

- "Le ninfe" : creative and high level cuisine and very honest prices. http://www.2spaghi.it/ristoranti/lazio/rm/roma/ristorante-le-ninfe/

- "said" : an old chocolate factory in San Lorenzo. A little bit expensive prices, but fantastic atmosfere and hot chocolate. Good cakes. If you want you could buy tea and chocolate in the shop at the entrance. www.said.it

To search restaurants on map, I advice the website: http://www.2spaghi.it/ristoranti/lazio/rm/roma/ Very useful, but only in italian.

get there early. no name on the restaurant, just 'pizzeria' written in huge letters.

I've been once for a Sunday brunch. roasted beef and chicken, omelettes, pancakes, crispy bacon, fried chicken, onion and potato cakes, and many other delicious things. Beautiful open space location in the heart of Rome. I know they propose american meals menu for lunch and dinners. Suggested!

Une trattoria sans prétention ostentatoire qui dispense une cuisine familiale d'excellente qualité. Des produits de grande qualité / fraîcheur pour une addition dérisoire (compter entre 12 et 15 euros / personne), que demande le peuple ?

Pizza 9 euros

Pizzeria San Marco - Via Tacito, 29 00193 Roma, Italy 06 3235398

41°54'27.42"N, 12°28'1.44"E

Love it! Excellent food at the right price

When I go to Rome and I'm around Piazza Navona, I often go for dinner to Montecarlo, well known restaurant-pizzeria . Very short waiting time, good price/quality, good and local food, lovely athmosphere!

Talk to the owners, very nice people.

We found "La Fraschetta" as a recommendation in our guidebook. If you're in Trastevere, go there. Incredible typical Italian restaurant. It's not very expensive, and food was great. The waiters are very friendly. Spaghetti all'amatriciana.... sooooooooo yummy!!

Very nice

Ottima Pizzeria Gluten Free - Da provare la pizza "Ricotta e Pistacchi" e gli antipasti di formaggi di bufala. Meglio prenotare soprattutto per la pizza senza glutine.
