In Rome, the appetite is as eternal as the city itself. From century-old trattorias serving the classics to modern spots redefining cucina romana, there’s always something to savour around every corner. Expect seasonal produce, strong flavours, and some of the best ingredients in the World.
Here’s where to go when you’re in the mood to eat like a local (or better).

Half deli, half restaurant, fully iconic. This is where mortadella, carbonara, and cacio e pepe are elevated to an art form. All in a setting that feels like a dream Italian pantry.

A Roman classic since 1938. Fresh fish goodness. Order the crudo and let the sommelier guide your wine choice — you're in good hands.

Old-school Roman charm. The menu is filled with Roman hits: amatriciana, trippa, saltimbocca... safe to say they're all delicious.

Traditional flavours with a touch of finesse. Rocco feels effortlessly modern, but the dishes stick close to their roots. Tip: try the tiramisù.

Aperitivo done right. A cocktail bar tucked into a piazza across from the Temple of Hadrian. Perfect for pre-dinner drinks or a light bite with a view.

Rustic, buzzy, and open late: this osteria is made for long nights and second rounds of pasta. The outdoor tables are some of the coziest in the city.

A compact wine bar with a big personality. Mosto has become a go-to for low-intervention wines and great snacks to match. Come thirsty, leave a little tipsy.

Touristy? Maybe. Worth it? Absolutely. Giolitti has been serving some of Rome’s finest gelato since 1900. Go classic with stracciatella or pistachio.

Just steps from the monument itself, this family-run trattoria delivers rich Roman soul in every dish. Book ahead. Then book again. The gricia is legendary.

Fried artichokes, anyone? Piperno is where you go for the famous carciofi alla giudia and other traditional delights. Elegant, quiet, and always satisfying.

Bellissimo Fresh fish, good prices. Great for a long lunch or a chill dinner outside the city centre buzz.

Chef Sarah Cicolini reimagines Roman staples in bold, unapologetic ways. This is comfort food with edge — and one of the hottest tables in town for a reason.

A family-run classic with over 50 years of history. Think: lasagna, meatballs, and hospitality that feels like home. You’ll walk out full and happy.

Seasonal ingredients, creative plates, and a minimalist atmosphere where the food speaks louder than the décor. One well deserved Michellin star.

As the name suggests, this one’s for lovers of tripe (and other offal delicacies). But even if you’re not feeling adventurous, their other dishes are just as good.

A refined, contemporary dining experience with an international edge. From presentation to palate, Moi delivers something unexpected (and very photogenic).
