The best take-away restaurants Rome

A change from the rich ingredients of Roman cuisine! This delicate concept store offers young shoots, aromatic herbs and spices of all kinds. The vegetarian and vegan plates are as fine as they are fragrant and feature vegetables from the garden in salads, tartars, carpaccios and soups. The desserts are also particularly tasty. Books, organic wines and plants are also available for sale. Two good vegetarian addresses in the heart of the Trastevere and Monti districts.

A charming, contemporary bistro on the Piazza Navona, or better still, under the carriage entrance to the haughty Palazzo Braschi. Between the courtyard and the piazza, a few garden tables and a small flower-filled lounge, away from the hustle and bustle of Rome, offer salads, burgers and club sandwiches cooked with quality ingredients, with fruit and vegetables taking pride of place. Organic and seasonal products. A wide choice of vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free dishes à la carte. Three other locations in Rome, including Piazza Venezia and Villa Pamphili.

Located just behind the walls of the Vatican, this address is distinguished by its philosophy. A small culinary laboratory that relies on the freshness of its food and attention to food allergies. A natural, light and tasty cuisine where the aromas are highlighted. Fresh and organic supplies come from the region, some from Calabria recalling the origins of the owners. A varied menu, offering both vegetarian and traditional dishes. In short, an address worth a visit.

This bakery at the corner of via dei Serpenti and via Panisperna is a delight for people passing through the Monti district. In a simple and Art Deco setting, you can stop for a cornetto in the morning, a slice of pizza at lunchtime or something to accompany an aperitivo in the early evening. Their small pastries (sfogliatelle, occhi di bue...) are also very good. You will find both salty and sweet. A very good address with prices however a little higher than the average of the other Roman forni.

Roman-style street food at this little counter serving the famous suppli. Whether eat-in or take-away, these fried rice dumplings can be eaten while still hot, in the best local gastronomic tradition. There's no shortage of variety, from suplli all'amatriciana (with tomato, mozzarella, pecorino and guanciale) to carbonara (with egg, guanciale and mozzarella) and anchovies. Quality ingredients and preparation; not surprising when you learn that it's a Roman chef, Arcangelo Dandini, who is behind the address.

The piada, or piadina, is a cake that serves as the basis for a sandwich typical of Emilia Romagna. Choose the filling of your choice: the most typical piadina is filled with raw ham, squacquerone (a fromage frais) and arugula, but the house also offers alternatives based on tuna, salmon or hot sausage. Once ordered, wait a few minutes and then take your piadina with you to enjoy it at the foot of the fountain in Piazza della Madonna dei Monti, where Rome's trendy youth meet at the end of the day.

One of the many places in Rome where you can eat a piece of pizza by the slice, on the go! But this one has three advantages: its location in the heart of the trendy Trastevere district, its pretty protected terrace and the crunchiness of its dough... Served on a plancha, we appreciate the freshness of the toppings and the choice of pizzas that will suit everyone. Do not hesitate to taste also the stuffed focacce . Tasty and nice for a small or a big hunger: you choose the size of your pizza slice!

A baker's oven has been here since the dawn of time; today it's a very good address for its incredible choice of breads, focacce and other pastries that awaken the taste buds. The establishment has succeeded in preserving traditional recipes while adapting them to today's tastes. The use of quality raw materials makes it one of the best forni in the historic center. Try the pizza bianca first:is a sure bet!

It's a lovely fresh pasta store with an old-fashioned decor. However, if you drop in around lunchtime, you'll certainly see a queue forming. This is because the store turns into a canteen at mealtimes. There's a choice of two fresh pasta dishes, and wine and water are included in the price if you eat there (which is a good option, given that it's now forbidden to eat on the steps of the Piazza di Spagna!) And don't forget that Thursday is gnocchi day!

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.

Gabriele Bonci set up his bread and pizza oven in this little store tucked between a barbershop and a drugstore. And it was from here that he conquered Rome and the Romans, so much so that he even hosted the best forno competition on Italian television! Few tourists venture down this one-way street. 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 temple of Italian gastronomy, Eataly is a 17,000 ^m2 hall at the southern end of the Testaccio. Between the market, the big grocery store and the restaurant, it is a concept that has developed in several Italian cities and, since April 2019, in Paris. Some may cry out that the place is over-consumed or even lacking in soul. However, the founder joined the Slow Food movement, also born in Italy. The emphasis is on quality products that respect the fundamental rules of the environment.

You'd think you were at the door of a small grocery store, but it's actually a small restaurant serving fresh pasta! Mimi e Cocò is also a wine bar, for those who prefer to sit quietly on the terrace and enjoy a glass of wine. The menu also includes fresh salads, pinse (a typical Roman pizza with a light, oval-shaped dough) and polpette (meatballs). Ideal for a lunch break or an aperitif in the center. Another address in Trastevere.

The king of smoothies just a few steps from St. Peter's Basilica! An address for a refreshing break before or after visiting the Vatican Museums. You can have breakfast here (the house offers fresh cornetti and maritozzi, a typical Roman brioche filled with whipped cream) or stop by for a quick meal with good pasta with tasty and light seasonings or a sandwich. Prices are a bit higher than elsewhere, but the location is still very convenient.

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.

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.
