Fast food and home catering Rome

It is difficult to find a place for lunch around the Vatican which is not expensive and very tourist. This small restaurant with fine panini and good-quality salads also offers homemade lemonades, coffee, small cakes. The atmosphere is jazzy and connected without being pretentious. You can also take everything to lunch in the Vatican Gardens.

This sandwich and burger bar is one of the most popular in the Il Pigneto district, dear to Pasolini. Open late at night, it is a haven for night birds and young trendy locals. But be careful, here we don't eat burger fat and frozen french fries; special attention is given to the choice of products. Moreover, there is no shortage of vegetarian options. Simple and retro design for a trendy address. A tip: push the white door at the back of the room, a charming speakeasy cocktail bar awaits you there!

Here is a small address, a few steps from Largo Argentina, where you can find excellent baguette sandwiches to eat on the go at lunchtime, between two visits. Of course, it's not typically Italian, but from the ham and cheese, to the smoked swordfish with brie, or the tasty mushroom and smoked cheese with truffle sauce, this sandwich shop offers a wide choice of fresh and really delicious products! On the menu, there are also salads and some appetizing desserts such as a homemade tiramisù or a fruit salad.

Mondo Arancina is a very popular small chain of Sicilian cuisine. This place is known for arancini, the absolute Sicilian speciality. These are small balls of fried rice filled with cheese, meat or fish. Apart from the classics, the Mondo Arancina offers a rich selection of successful Sicilian dishes. 

In Piazza Madonna dei Monti is the nerve center of the Monti district. Facing the fountain where young Romans gather, this café is undoubtedly the nicest in the square. Of course, it is also one of the most touristy, but its shady terrace is there to compensate. We recommend you come here mainly for a coffee in the morning, to enjoy the Monti air, or for a light lunch, composed of simple dishes like carpaccios or salads. It is also possible to have anaperitivo in the late afternoon.

A very good pizza al taglio (by the slice). As with most pizzerias of this type, you pay by weight. That's handy, because you can choose several slices of pizza! The choice is vast, so it's not going to be easy. We particularly recommend the anchovy and zucchini flower pizza, or the traditional pizza bianca . You'll also find some very good supplì. It's the perfect place for a quick lunch after visiting the Basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano.

Located in the San Lorenzo district, this restaurant will delight burger lovers. You will find here sure values such as the "bacon cheddar", and sandwiches that are made with Italian products. Among them, the "padrino" and its burrata or the "TNT" with scamorza, a tasty smoked cheese. All the burgers are served with home-made chips. If you prefer fries, you will have to pay a small extra charge of one euro. The appetizers are also highly recommended, especially the pastellate greens (fried vegetables)!
