The pluses: the outdoor tables on one of the oldest squares in Rome. A cellar of excellence, with champagnes, international and regional wines, the wine tradition of the family and the place!

This is a typical Tuscan restaurant and Rome's meat kingdom!

We often advise against eating in stations, but the Mercato Centrale is an exception! In this huge restaurant, you will find specialities from all over Italy. Various small stands offer pasta, fries, pizza but also trapizzini (bianca pizza rolled in cone and stuffed) or pastries. The products are of high quality and reasonably priced. We like the warm noise on the ground floor and the cosy atmosphere of the restaurant on the first floor. To be discovered as soon as you arrive at the station!

This simple and pleasant trattoria offers excellent pasta and pizza at reasonable prices.

This room, which is named after a traditional Dish of typical Roman cuisine, is a historic and popular address, known for its excellent typical dishes, its welcoming atmosphere, its fast service and its small prices. The best dish to advise is of course the speciality of the house, the pasta cacio e pepe (cheese and pepper). This very old dish is the dish of the shepherd based on sheep's cheese (the pecorino romano) and pepper, which despite an apparent simplicity is very difficult to realise.

Here, you'll have no choice: the house decides and proposes a fixed menu every evening. Once you're seated, the dishes follow one another without fuss, delighting young and old alike. Simple and hearty, the cuisine at Trattoria der Pallaro is authentic mamma cooking.

On the terrace or in the pleasant dining room (perfect if you are a small group).

A number of reasons will lead you to this warm trattoria located in the heart of Trastevere, the small square that is an enchantment, the small external tables and a simple and clean environment. The management is in care of a community made up of physically and mentally disabled young people who take care of the room, who cook, who paint and display their paintings… Try vegetable Couscous, Zucchini pasta, mint, sage or fettuccine in Sicilian.

A few metres from the Pantheon, a family trattoria that has been in operation since 1961. In addition to the great classics, Armando's son has added some new and unpublished creations. For example, you can try barley soup with ceps and truffles, duck with plums and homemade desserts such as torta Antica Roma, a ricotta and strawberry jam pie served warm. The welcome is friendly, the room pleasant and the prices are honest for the situation, central as possible. The wait can be long, it is better to book.

Behind the large synagogue, on the main street of the Ghetto, four brothers opened a kosher restaurant, whose reputation continues to grow. For the carciofi went giudia, but also des accompanied by dried meat, or even a pine salad salad, we get pressed in this pleasant and elegant decor.

Excellent value for money, probably the best, for less than € 25, will taste a real Italian meal: from the aperitivo to the antipasti, before going to the first dish, then to the second (only for meat) and, finally, dessert.
A good selection of cheap wines. It's not possible to be disappointed by this carefully decorated restaurant and the boss who is in the small care…

Once frequented by artists and Romans, Sora Margherita has convinced tourists passing through without losing its authenticity. When you walk into this modest restaurant, which has been operating since 1925, it seems as if time has stood still. The atmosphere and the menu, written on paper as it changes every day, respect the purest Roman tradition. You can lick your lips... Pasta is homemade by hand, and all dishes are served in abundance. A word of advice, wait before ordering the second one!

In the heart of Rome, not far from Navona Square, this restaurant offers Roman cuisine at reasonable prices: spaghetti alla carbonara, strozzapreti all'amatriciana, lasagne au four, tripe or saltimbocca à la romaine... But their real specialty is charcoal meats. Their pizzas baked in a wood-fired oven are also very appetizing, and it is also possible to choose the dough you prefer: romaine (finer) or Neapolitan. Great plus, the service is friendly and the terrace pleasant.

A good pizzeria in the atmosphere of the lively Trastevere, small and unpretentious.

Also known as Da Ricci, after the family that has run it for four generations (Est! Est!! Est! is actually the name of a wine), this pizzeria near the church of Santa Maria Maggiore is one of the oldest in Rome. Once past the entrance, you'll find yourself in a pretty bistro-style room. On the menu: pizzas prepared Neapolitan-style, i.e. with thick, crispy dough, but also typically Roman pinzas .

A classic, delicious and cheap trattoria. There is a rich, well-turned menu, which you can enjoy in a truly typical interior.

A pizzeria still very busy. It is because of the provocation. But dishes (salads or pizzas), as cheap as they are, are always well prepared.

In the historic centre, an ideal address for a lunch stop: antipasti, small vegetables, delicious homemade cheeses and cakes accompanied by a good coffee.

This family-run pizzeria is a good place to taste an excellent Roman pizza with crisp dough.

Traditional restaurant famous and inexpensive. We are served in two main rooms, especially frequented by Italians who know the quality of the places.

In addition to her two addresses in Testaccio and Ostiense, Angelina is also located in Trevi. The famous fountain is only a few blocks away, the romantic and vintage decor reminds us of a winter garden with watering cans and flower pots on the walls. The menu is a little bit ordinary, with the exception of the Angelina antipasto: a three-tiered display case filled with deli meats, cheese, fried foods and gratinated eggplants (melanzane alla parmigiana). Just with that, we're satisfied! Good to know, the door next door welcomes Café Angelina, famous for its cornetti

Located on a charming small square, the Trattoria della Pace is a convenient gastronomic step, close to Piazza Navona. We eat on the thumb or more "seriously".

The room has expanded and is no longer a buchetto (small hole), but you need patience to be able to taste the wood-burning pizza that makes the reputation of the house (the service drags a little in length). This is a very recommended step.

A nice and friendly restaurant, right next to the Vatican Museum. Good pasta and local specialities.

For the past 60 years, this family house treats the taste buds of the locals as tourists of good traditional Roman cuisine and fresh fish as well. Provided by women of character, the service does not pass unnoticed.

Good choice of wines. The beautiful rustic room with its wood panelling and tiles ensures a convivial evening. You can also sit on the terrace during the beautiful season!

In the Prati district, there is a small restaurant that attracts the locals. To see the terrace, we know that this is the right place to come. The owners from Sorrento have created a cuisine at the crossroads of the Roman and Neapolitan traditions. This meeting comes from very creative dishes such as the tartara di manzo con burrata, as well as very light fried dishes and crustaceans. The cellar is not negligible either.

This is a charming place for a coffee in the morning or lunch on the terrace. Both chic and simple, it like Rome such as it is a dream! Far from the hustle and bustle that prevails in the other cafés of the city, here you take your time. The Italian recipes have been revisited and, on the plate, it changes everything!

A popular tavern with the Romans for fast but hearty lunch. She now counts more tourists than Italians! Its pizzas and pasta have made its reputation, service is fast and juggling with dishes from one room to another. At peak times, we're a little tight, but the room is filled with laughter and lively discussions.

In a quiet lane next to Piazza Navona, a pleasant house and a kitchen without surprise but fresh and well prepared: doughnuts,… and spinach, tiramisu and….

It is difficult to be disappointed by this ancient osteria in a small alleyway near Parliament. Family atmosphere and reassuring. The specialty of the house is Thunder alla ciociara, a mushroom sauce, ham and peas, while the mixed antipasti base is a little wonder.

This pizzeria is located in the centre of the Prati district, close to the Vatican museums. We come here mainly for the atmosphere, sound but friendly. For almost years Vito and Adele have managed this facility remarkably well, whose notoriety today goes beyond the neighbourhood. The clientele, very young, has a certain atmosphere. Small precision, before the pizza, is placed on your table of antipasti plates. They are not free, you pay what you eat (not confused with a aperitivo where everything is included). As a dessert, Tiramisu (home-made) is offered. You can take advantage of this to make a little tour at the Borgo which still breathes the atmosphere of the ancient papal Rome.

In this little trattoria in the Monti district, located in a very quiet alley just steps from Cavour, the quality is not the appointment.

Just a stone's throw from Piazza di Spagna, Osteria al 31 offers a cuisine of traditional recipes, some of which have been revisited and others of which are innovative, the result of the chef's know-how and imagination. Innovation that perfectly matches the tradition, highlighting the importance of the ingredients used. The premises are welcoming, well cared for and comfortable, with a pleasant terrace on the pedestrian street that allows you to enjoy the bustle of the neighborhood. The service, kindness and professionalism of the staff are all there.

Not far from the Porta Metronia and about twenty minutes from the Colosseum, here's a good address open all day, with a very pleasant terrace on summer evenings. It's the ideal place for an aperitif or dinner in the neighborhood. The menu offers a variety of dishes to share with your glass of wine, from the typical Roman pinsa to the fresh and succulent salmon tartare. We also enjoyed the vegetarian platter, featuring a variety of roasted vegetables to pick at. To avoid waiting times in the evening, it's best to make a reservation.
