Rome Restaurants

This was our first trip to Rome and while there Hubby and I would be celebrating our 28th wedding anniversary. So we wanted to a nice place to eat for our special day. We aren’t the types to dress up...

The Odd Room is an easy going restaurant, with good food and friendly waiters who even did their best to explain the menu to me in English. Plain furniture, wooden tables and bar stools. I sat close...

I was schocked to see such a beautiful Cafe founded in 1760 by Nicola della Madalena ( greek) Antico Cafe Greco was an oasis for Italian and universal artists. Amongst some of its famous customers...

Paola has become well-known and even Rich Steves recommends her - and deservedly so! Line up here and experience great Italian lunch or dinner! Worth the wait and so close to Campo di Fiori! Your...

Okay, Hard Rock fans, no worries because there is a Hard Rock in Rome. On one of our walks around Rome, we happened upon the restaurant which is complete with massive burgers and fries and the...

This is a no nonsense pizza place. The pizza is so thin and crisp and the toppings so fresh there is none that compare. If you want to eat here get ready to wait. There is usually a line at the front...

The guide books said that it was known for its chocolate studded tartufo (chocolate-chip ice cream) and so, after a long day walking around Rome, we decided to give it a try. The restaurant has a...

It's so easy to eat really well in Rome, at what ever level you're spending. Although not every meal we ate was a great gastronomic experience, there was only one meal that disappointed us - and that...

In an area dripping with gelaterias, this is the gold standard. In true Roman style, you must decide what you are going to buy (one scoop, two scoops, etc), tell the cashier and pay for it. She will...

Normally I would never write a restaurant tip for a McDonald's, as everyone has a pretty firm view of McDonald's and their food, whatever it may be. And people generally always know what to expect...

We came here on a private tour, it was recommended by our driver. We wanted an authentic Italian experience. We were greeted by the owners, who were extremely friendly. There were many locals as...

This restaurant was a few metres form our front door. It was upmarket, inside and we had to try it out! We ended up coming here twice as we thoroughly enjoyed it. It is a bit expensive, but was a...

Traditional Italian ice cream is called gelato, and it can be found all over the city. Rome being so hot, the temptation to stop by a gelateria is sometimes pretty hard to resist! I tried to limit...

We had had a fair day's worth of flying, British Airways Glasgow to Heathrow, to Fumicino, in August 2009, and we headed out from our hotel later than planned. From reviews I had in my head we would...

By the time our special moment came, I took the family to a place some Italian collegues have taken me before on a business trip. We went for lunch and it was sublime as usual surrounded by statues...

Well why not have lunch at the beautiful square Cavour, just behing the justice palace, around the corner from the castle of san angelo, and on the side of the theater cinema adriano, overlooking the...

A Friday night in Campo Di Fiore, my favourite piazza in Rome, and we found ourselves eating at La Carbonara. This is a great restaurant although a little pricey but they do not have a cover charge....

Carlo Mente is another local trattoria where we enjoyed a cheap but tasty lunch. We found a table outside next to the picturesque old car (pic 1). Our appetizer was bruschetta al prosciutto(garlic...

Local color at Luzzi is sometimes excessive in terms of decibels, especially since the waiters are busy shouting among them, but we must recognize that prices are inversely proportional to the noise...

2015: Updating as reviews from other travelers are still largely positive. We eyed this place suspiciously as it was on one of more heavily traveled streets to Trevi Fountain but I'd read good...

This restaurant is not in the very heart of Rome but it's in the centre anyway. Good italian food. Close to Termini station and Santa Maria Maggiore church. Metro: Termini (lines A and B, closer) and...

After a visit to the Basilica Santa Maria degli Angeli, within the terms of Diocletian, and before another in the afternoon to the National Museum in Palazzo Massimo Romano near the Termini station,...

This little wine bar, close to Piazza Navona, is one of the oldest in Rome. The selection of wines is huge, but they also serve meats, cheeses, salads and pastas. The inside can be a little cramped,...

This was our first restaurant in Italy, and it did not disappoint. There was outside seating, but we chose to sit inside to enjoy the air conditioned room. We had some bread and wine, water (no gas...

I should have paid attention to a previous review. Rude, white haired owner. It wasn't an isolated experience. We were "guests" recently. When the waiter brought bread, we sent it back. (1) We knew...
