Our favorite foods ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ
Trattorie, Osterie, Pizzerie, Ristoranti
This is a small selection of our favorite places for food. We usually go to the our favorite places bus we also like to try new ones.
How to pick a place. From the name (traditionally but always check the menu first since marketing tricks are everywhere):
Trattoria/Osteria: easy place with traditional food and easy service
Pizzeria: you know that
Ristorante: higher level food and service
Ehmโฆthis is a place you must try. Local Roman cusine and also normal Italian one.
Beside renowned classics such as Carbonara, Amatriciana, Cacio e Pepe and Gricia, here you cand find authentic Roman cusine, which is all about oxtail, lamb, cow trip, liver and whatever.
We love this place and my mom loves it too so I get it personal.
You must get if available:
Puntarelle (a super special salad with an anchovies dressing you can eat only in Rome)
Carciofi (artichoke is a religion in Rome) alla romana (fried with garlic and mint) or alla giudia (deep fried full)
Please Note: home and trattoria food in Rome is never super saucy, we like it simple and not rich, food here is 100% authentic.
Service here is not great, it is a family run trattoria so letโs be easy and drink some more house wine!

This is the most scenographic location in Rome in these days. Perfect for a romantic or a special occasion.
Summer terrace with a cocktail bar on the rooftop and restaurant beside Borrominiโs SantโAgnese in Agone dome and bell towers. Just book in advance and ask for an outdoor table overlooking the dome.
Also one of the few places in central Rome where you can find good seafood.

Street Food Gelaterie and Pasticcerie
Fast, delicious and special: here are favorite local places
Simply the best pasticceria in Rome.
They are famous all the way to Korea for their maritozzi alla panna (an historical roman sweet google it and try!).
Our favorite are chocolate or lemon curd bignรจ and everything else. Quaresimale is interesting too, but with no whipped cream

We love their gelato. Also they have a few others places in central Rome.
They got fame for their weird flavors, they where the first to make lasagne or basil gelato, We have never had those, BUT the normal ones are mind-blowing.
My favorite is pineapple ginger or caramel.

The best croissants in town. Nice interiors and nice place for a coffee.
Croissants are incredible and they also make a rich pizza al taglio (super fashionable nowadays) and deep fried stuff such as Supplรฌ, Crocchette and others.
Watch out could be pricy compared to roman standards, but worths a try!

Historical and super old family run business, sooooper successful and famous.
To me is more worthed the bar and the restaurant (price but delicious) rather than the forno with pizza al taglio (most expensive in town), stil everything you will get there is delicious.
Totally recommended.

Messy and stunning local market.
Mercato Esquilino used to be a super old traditional market and now is a multicultural hip place.
Most of the market is about food from all over and it is the only place like this in Rome.
Not sure if it fits in your roman holidays mood, but it has to be mentioned. I just love it!
PS: watch out from the pickpockets!
