On the beautiful Via Giulia with an entrance from the Lungotevere Tebaldi, exactly at the height of Ponte Sisto, an excellent Cocktail Bar restaurant, in an informal setting but one that betrays a certain sophistication among the glass windows, pastel-coloured armchairs and wooden tables. Nevertheless, the young chef knows his stuff. Trained in Roman trattorias and completed his training alongside more emblazoned chefs. The result is a cuisine that looks ahead without forgetting its origins.

If you want, you can come just for a cocktail

Roscioli is a historic Roman eatery and a reference point for all tourists coming to Rome. An unmissable stop even at the cost of queuing for half an hour even if you have booked months in advance, and then sitting at tiny tables shoulder to shoulder with other diners. One only has to cross the threshold to find oneself in a world of flavours, with a vast selection of cheeses, hams, salamis, mozzarellas, and wines among the best in national production to take away or consume on the spot. But in addition to the excellent and expensive cured meats, one comes here above all to enjoy the dishes of Roman cuisine. Unfortunately, the restaurant is always crowded, and you are forced to eat at small tables set up everywhere, elbow to elbow with other customers. The service would like to be professional but is somewhat grabby (due to the large crowds and poor training).
Reservation is a must; otherwise, it will be impossible to find a place.
I personally prefer other places that are cheaper, less arrogant, more customer-oriented and less expensive, especially for the type of dishes on offer. An excellent carbonara or an equally good amatriciana is not hard to find.
The Roscioli group include even a bakery with delicious pizza and bread. The Bar Pasticceria with excellent coffee and croissants, and Rimessa (wine bar) are all within walking distance of each other, all overcrowded, all uncomfortable apart from the quality of the food, which is unquestionable, while the prices may be.
The menu is very rich and in addition to the classics of the Roman tradition, it features many proposals of fish, both raw and cooked, as well as fine cold meats and cheeses.

Informal restaurant prices are a bit high. A few steps from Campo di Fiori, in a pleasant little square, is this restaurant named after its owner and chef.
Luciano Monosilio became famous thanks to his Carbonara, considered among the best in the city, so it is almost a must to try it. But of course, there is not only Carbonara. You will find other excellent dishes inspired by tradition, pappardelle alla vaccinara, rigatoni alla amatriciana. Others where the chef expresses all his creativity.
Good wines.
courteous service albeit with some flaws due to the inexperience of some staff.
The restaurant also has a pasta workshop. The desserts are good, especially the tiramisu.
The menu may vary according to the season, but some dishes are always present, such as Cacio e Pepe, Amatriciana and of course Carbonara by Luciano Monosilio

A few steps from the flat, the first street on the left, going towards Ponte Sisto.
It is a restaurant created by Paola Alice, Chiara, Flaminia and their mother and has been a cult and trendy place for a long time. A warm and welcoming environment, furnished in vintage style and with attention to detail. Different chairs and tables, always other glasses and plates. There is an excellent counter at the entrance, seating around the kitchen’s perimeter, and a comfortable outdoor area full of plants in the courtyard. This restaurant, which used to be considered a place dedicated to street food, both in terms of the offer and the tiny spaces available, thanks to the skill of its owners, has now become a real gourmet meeting place, both in the street food version and in the more comfortable one where you sit at a reserved table in an informal but elegant setting, rather than in the garden or at the outdoor counter: unparalleled focaccia, sandwiches and burgers, as well as other more decadent dishes such as Beef Tenderloin Tartare; Fresh Spaghettoni; Rabbit Tuna cooked to perfection on sight. The menu changes weekly, depending on the season. Very, very expensive.

A fine, intimate restaurant or a cold table just a few steps from home. It is not a traditional restaurant but a place where you come to taste exceptional products. Although few dishes are cooked, what arrives on the table hot or cold is undoubtedly something absolutely delicious. The selection of cured meats is superb. As is the choice of accompanying wines.

Cesare al Casaletto  is one of the best trattorias in Rome. Its location in Via del Casaletto in the Monteverde district is a destination for gourmet trips, obviously not for those in search of innovative cuisine full of contamination, but for those who want to savour or get to know the taste and flavour of tradition. Accompanied by an excellent selection of wines prepared by the very friendly sommelier and host Leonardo Vignoli. The desserts, such as the black cherry tart and the mille-feuille, are fabulous.
The good news doesn’t end here: Cesare al Casaletto is now a few hundred metres from home in Via del Pellegrino 117, in the premises that were once the old trattoria Settimio al Pellegrino.

PIZZA Roman Style
Average price €25/50

For lovers of the thin and crunchy Roman-style pizza, this pizzeria was one of the first to enhance this type of pizza by taking it away from hit-and-run establishments with paper tablecloths, an approximate product and somewhat hasty service and elevating it to a gourmet product in a more refined setting. With excellent dough and quality toppings. Now many other pizzerias
Have sprung up in this wake, and a little Emma has been overshadowed. But if you want to stay in the neighbourhood, even if we are far from the beginning, it is not to be dismissed entirely. The interior space, dominated by a dramatic skylight, is spacious and furnished in a minimalist style that is sometimes a little too noisy. However, there is also a small outdoor area. In addition to pizza, there are bruschettas, fried meats, cold cuts, cheeses and many other dishes. The pizzas, which is the reason for coming here the pizza is the classic Roman style: very thin, crispy, with a few burn marks on the edges, as in the average Roman pizzeria, while the toppings are really excellent and of great quality, these indeed outside the norm.

Great wine list Both craft and industrial beers

If you suddenly have a craving for oriental or rather Japanese cuisine, I recommend SHYROYA (between Campo di  Fiori and Piazza Navona). Here you will find the specialities of genuine Japanese cuisine prepared at the moment and respecting the original recipes but above all with fresh ingredients: Donburi, bowls of rice to be seasoned at will, handmade ravioli, Ramen, fried pork and obviously sushi, nigiri and gunkan, tempura and miso soup. The restaurant is small, and reservations are advisable. Reservations are only accepted by phone.

Kind and professional service.

Only five minutes from the flat, the Jewish Ghetto in Rome is not only a destination but also a must for local gastronomy and, of course, Jewish-Roman cuisine. Like all tourist destinations, it can reserve some unpleasant surprises, but also some excellent addresses. In the Ghetto, it is possible to find both street food and classic trattorias, and the food served follows kosher rules. Remember that almost all restaurants and shops in this neighbourhood are closed every Friday night and Saturday because of Shabbat (Friday sundown to Saturday sunset).

Osteria Fernanda is currently one of the most interesting contemporary cuisine places in Rome where, in a minimal and very bright environment, thanks to the proposals of chef Davide Del Duca, it is possible to enjoy excellent dishes accompanied by excellent wines. Well-prepared dishes, where taste is the master both in the more traditional ones and in the more creative ones thanks to the skilful use of vegetables, spices and herbs. Delicious meats, the catch of the day, and seasonal vegetables are superbly prepared, as are the first courses and the dishes to follow, and the desserts are no less impressive.
There are four tasting courses, two of them in the hands of the kitchen’s unlimited choices. But you are correct to rely on the cook’s choices.

 In the foreground, of course, is the signature dish La Carbonara. Here Carbonara is not only excellently prepared in its canonical version but is also offered in no fewer than 13 variations. Alongside the Carbonara, many other convincing dishes with the egg playing the primary role. The second courses are also interesting.

You have to get in line to taste a great dish representative of Roman cuisine. They do not accept reservations, and getting in line is almost a must. However, in a district with a strong tourist vocation, where the average quality of the gastronomic offer is embarrassing, to say the least, this small trattoria is a safe place.

Tripe is part of the so-called ‘Quinto quarto’, one of the famous poor cuts from the slaughterhouse, which is nothing more than the stomach of the bovine animal. Although present in the cuisine of many parts of Italy, Piedmont, Emilia and Tuscany, it is a typical Roman dish and part of the city’s culinary tradition, so much so that there is a way of saying ‘Saturday Tripe’ since Saturday was the day of slaughter.

The Osteria della Trippa in Trastevere is an establishment that, although recently opened, has gained considerable space among the gastronomic haunts that have brought prestige to Roman cuisine.And if you love or want to try Roman cuisine, L’Osteria della Trippa is the place to go.
The name speaks for itself. On its menu, you will find at least five different preparations that have tripe as the main ingredient. Trippa alla romana with pecorino cheese . Trippa fritta Trippa con uovo Trippa con ravioli , Trippa con fagioli and even tripe meatballs. But, of course, one doesn’t live alone on tripe, so Rigatoni con la Pajata, Carbonara, Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe, Amatriciana, Maltagliati al ragù, Pesto di Broccoli, Romani. For main courses: Coda alla vaccinara, Abbachhio, Baccalà, Animelle con i carciofi, Salumi Formaggi. A good wine list and a cosy restaurant where tradition is fully respected.

If you want your food mediocre but in large portions. While you prefer a little burnt and undercooked pizza, these two places are definitely highly recommended.However, you must be prepared for a long wait and be willing to eat in confusion, practically attached to other diners and with friendly but rushed service.

Clotilde is a refined and elegant restaurant that has taken care of every detail. Its culinary proposal is firmly on traditional Roman dishes accompanied in this case by a fine selection of cocktails that can be enjoyed not only with the dishes but also at aperitif time or as an after-dinner drink. In short, Tradizione & Spirits is what it calls itself. It is located between Piazza Navona and the Pantheon, a few steps from the Ara Pacis

In its place is the Collegio – Vini, Liquori & Cibo, also owned by the Santarelli family. The same family owns Casale del Giglio, one of the most essential wineries in Lazio.

As the name suggests, Collegio – Vini, Liquori & Cibo is wine, food and spirits. The menu ranges from traditional country dishes to more contemporary ones: Pasta e Fagioli con le cotiche, Gnocchi al Sugo, and as everywhere else, Carbonara, Cacio e Pepe, Amatriciana, Gricia, Ravioli con burrata, Gnocchi, and then the main courses with fish or meat dishes, as well as classic chopping boards with cold cuts and cheeses.

For many, Armando al Pantheon is the best trattoria in Rome, certainly an excellent place to enjoy traditional Roman dishes. Well-prepared dishes with fresh, quality ingredients. The restaurant was recently renovated, although small, it is pretty cosy, and you can now also eat outside in the small dehors.

There aren’t many old restaurants in Rome: some have closed, and others transformed. “Dal Cavalier Gino, on the other hand, has remained as it once was.

Gino is historical, if not legendary, trattoria. It is almost hidden away in a small alley. Quite quaint, with simply laid tables, wooden chairs, and walls painted in questionable taste, the atmosphere is a bit chaotic, and there is a queue in the evenings if you don’t have a reservation. Please note that credit cards are not accepted here.

 If you are looking for fine cuisine or sophisticated dishes, this is not the place. Here you come to eat the traditional dishes of Roman cuisine prepared discreetly and served in generous portions at reasonable prices. In full respect of tradition, you have the canonical plate every day of the week: Monday broth and boiled, Tuesday meatballs, Wednesday tail and offal, Thursday gnocchi, Friday fish and Saturday tripe. Sunday is a holiday, of course, in addition to the classics on the menu daily.

Ciccio Sultano’s first time in Rome

Perhaps after years of decline and apparent neglect, Via Veneto seems to be trying to regain its identity and return to its former glory. Evidence of this are the new and exciting openings of the last year that are arousing a particular interest, at least among lovers of good cuisine. GIANO inside Hotel W in Rome deserves special attention. At the helm of GIANO is Chef Ciccio Sultano, an actual celebrity on the Italian gastronomic scene thanks to his Duomo in Ragusa, Sicily.
Although we are in a 5-star luxury hotel, the style is minimal and informal. The dishes range between sea and land and bring back the tastes and flavours of Sicilian cuisine that have made the Chef famous and appreciated. One of them is the spaghetti Taratata (red tuna roe, lemon, toasted bread crumbs and grouper carpaccio) or the pasta fuori norma (with aubergines, tomato and salted ricotta cheese) and the inevitable pasta with sardines. The desserts are by Fabrizio Fiorani, recognised as one of the 50 Best Pasty Chef’s, a true ecstasy for the palate and take-away.
Wine List present a fine selection.

Young and attentive service

Giano certainly is an exciting novelty, and at the moment, the prices also seem attractive at around 80 € per person.

Brunch on Sundays and not to be missed in summer served in the garden.

Mondays; open only evenings except for Saturdays and Sundays when it is also open for lunch

This popular trattoria opened a few years ago in a neighbourhood that is certainly not central but easily accessible. Trattoria l’Avvolgibile is a creation of Michelin-starred chef Adriano Baldassarre, who here, in a sense, wanted to take a reverse route and return to offering cuisine and dishes from where he began, obviously without forgetting anything of his glorious career in the kitchen. Everything here goes back a long way, from the ambience that recalls the decor of an old trattoria with period furniture and checked tablecloths. Still, above all, it is a return to the flavours and aromas that are now rare. Naturally, the gastronomic proposal is very polar, with the classics of Roman cuisine consistently excellent. Limited choice on the wine list.
 Service is a little uncertain.

TESTACCIO OSTIENSE

Testaccio, well served by transport (bus 23 – 280-30) is a historic district of Rome with unique charms, as are Monti and Trastevere. The Romans have always gone to this district for its gastronomic tradition dating back to the Middle Ages, which was made even more predominant by the birth of the slaughterhouse, which has become one of the city’s major cultural and artistic centres.
Today Testaccio is still a destination for gourmets and remains one of the best neighbourhoods in Rome in which to try Roman cuisine, but not only. In addition to the classic and spartan trattorias of the past, there is a constant ferment of new gourmet restaurants and innovative gastronomic proposals, a ferment that can also be found in the adjacent Ostiense district, once a dormitory district and today a hub of nightlife with its excellent addresses.

Here you can eat authentic Roman dishes, even those practically disappearing from every menu and table. Impeccably cooked and with service worthy of note. A plunge into the past’s flavours must be tasted at least once. Also, an incredible selection of cheeses and excellent desserts.

If you don’t want to give in to temptation, there is also a vegetarian menu. Not to be missed is the wine cellar carved out of caves in the Monte dei Cocci (an artificial mountain formed by the accumulation of vases and wineskins that have been disposed of here since ancient Rome. The wine list is immense and equally prestigious.

TYPICAL ROMAN CUISINE
In this once popular neighbourhood, now very trendy, especially among young people, we find La Trattoria Pennestri, which despite calling itself a trattoria, is a relatively young establishment. It was only opened in 2017 and immediately managed to win over the palates of many patrons. The ambience is informal but, at the same time, cosy. The cuisine here looks to traditional flavours and the great classics, both first and second courses typically, but there is no shortage of more innovative and sophisticated dishes either. Desserts are homemade. Well-curated wine list. Friendly, cheerful service.
