With its rustic hostel appearance, Giggetto has become a true institution among the many addresses in the Ghetto. This family restaurant has been serving Judeo-Roman specialities since 1923, treated with care and finesse. Try in particular the filetto di baccalà and the carciofi alla Giudia, fried artichokes that are part of the typical dishes in Rome. On sunny days, the terrace overlooking the lively via del Portico d'Ottavia is pleasant.

Note that the owner, Marco G, Roman of birth, usually speak French. Perhaps it will welcome you itself. It offers a simple and fresh in his restaurant with a cozy and warm atmosphere in the heart of Trastevere. The dishes are simple and prepared as it should be with only fresh ingredients; the service is very attentive and much better than anywhere else in Trastevere. You, in fact, will be impressed by Marco passion that highlights his work, you are in the world of the catering for 20 years and can advise you personally and to surprise you every time has.

Fresh fruit juices and smoothies combine exoticism and nutrition, and the menu details the benefits of each drink. Large salads, fine charcuterie, tasty dishes! In the evening, choose an organic wine from the extensive selection. An original place, far from the tourist traps of the area. Two other addresses in Rome: piazza Sant'Eustachio and via del Corso.

Just a stone's throw from the Trevi Fountain, this very touristy restaurant distinguishes itself from its neighbors by the speed of its friendly service and its pleasant terrace in the heart of the pedestrian district. But what makes it original is its menu of Tuscan specialties, a change from Roman cuisine. Oven-roasted tomino cheese with croutons and fig jam or mashed beans with sautéed chicory can precede a hunter's rabbit, grilled lamb or suckling pig in the style of Firenze, washed down with a good Chianti of course.

It's impossible to pass by without noticing this address, where the queue never seems to end. This Tuscan chain is a big hit in Rome, as it is in many Italian cities. On the menu, schiacciate (a type of focaccia) filled with cured meats and cheese. Vegetarian options are also available. Tip: the truffle cream is delicious! A very practical address for a quick bite to eat in the center of town at a more than reasonable price, even if the queue can often be prohibitive.

This local fishermen's cooperative has found the winning formula: offer self-service catering, on the spot or to take away, using the day's catch, at unbeatable prices. The fish pasta, particularly the swordfish, is succulent. We also love the fried squid and prawns. The atmosphere is very informal, and the fish is good for a very reasonable price. What more could you ask for?

Da Enzo al 29 is certainly one of Trastevere's most famous trattorie , and there's always a long wait for a seat, but it's worth it! Here, Roman cuisine takes pride of place, and you'll find the classic trio on the menu: carbonara, gricia and cacio e pepe. We don't know which pasta dishes to recommend, because they're all delicious, even if the carbonara is a must! When you go to Enzo's, you're guaranteed a quality meal in the heart of one of Rome's most charming (and touristy) neighborhoods.

Located in the Monti district, this osteria offers traditional Roman cuisine revisited with imagination and creativity. A modern touch that respects the authenticity of the recipes while preserving the balance of the dishes.

La fiaschetteri, in via della Croce, halfway between piazza di Spagna and via del Corso, is a rather cramped bistro with photos on the walls that you hardly notice. And yet, in this neighborhood, it's well worth a visit. Few dishes are served here (which is often a sign of quality), and mainly great Roman classics, including buccatini all'amatriciana, straccetti alla rucola and saltimbocca. The meal ends with a tiramisù. All to be enjoyed on a charming terrace.

At dinnertime, sandwiches, hamburgers and salads are on offer, as well as international and Roman classics and, of course, the famous homemade pizza.

One might hesitate to enter this restaurant because of its decidedly touristy location, just across from the Forum and a stone's throw from the Colosseum. Yet Angelino ai Fori dal 1947 is a convenient address for lunch after a long tour of ancient Rome. The dishes are tasty and the prices fair for the area. On the menu are Roman specialties (the menu has been the same since 1947!) such as the famous carbonara and pizzas to enjoy on the terrace.

"The real Alfredo fettuccine" can be read on the menu. And Alfredo proudly displays himself with the gold cutlery offered by the couple Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks, who fell in love with the recipe.

Well, after Alfredo Di Lelio sold his restaurant, he set the table again and opened a new establishment that was also visited by Hollywood stars. As for knowing which are the best fettuccines in Rome, we let you judge...

Good value for money for this osteria located in a posh neighbourhood. It offers dishes typical of Roman and Mediterranean cuisine (pasta, soups and fish-based secondias). But the place is especially famous for its dishes based on white or black truffles: risotto, pasta, fish or meat whose flavours are subtly enhanced by this prestigious mushroom. Warm family atmosphere. The desserts are homemade, we will be tempted by a tiramisù or a ginger and cinnamon ice cream.

A restaurant for Roman youth that fully contributes to the dynamism of the chic Ponte Milvio district. From the outside it looks like a beach boui-boui somewhere in the tropics: recycled objects, bright but damaged colours, wooden shutters all contribute to the relaxed atmosphere that you come here to pick up. We eat in the good mood of burgers, pasta and very good melanzane (aubergines). For the big appetites, crumble is the most famous dessert in the establishment. A good and trendy feel good address.

An excellent address for lovers of good love. Authenticity in the kitchen and in the decor.

A must.

Gabriele Bonci set up his bread and pizza oven in this little store tucked between a barbershop and a drugstore.

Yet it's here that you'll find some of the best - and certainly most famous - pizza al taglio in the Italian capital. Refined dough and choice ingredients are the hallmarks of Bonci's success.

A brasserie for dining in the heart of Rome, near the Trevi Fountain. Halfway between Paris's Le Grand Colbert and New York's Balthazar, Baccano at first seems very chaotic, with its ballet of waiters and non-stop service, yet you'll always find a quiet table where you'll be well served. Oysters and foie gras are reminiscent of France, burgers and sandwiches of the USA, while excellent pasta dishes and charcuterie evoke the dolce vita of Rome. A fine selection of wines.
