A Roman institution in the heart of TravestreTraditional Roman dishes including the egg yolk carbonara & artichoke in salsa - very casual dining with no reservations.

Evolving the Italian cuisine. Fresh ingredients from the market in Rome and in good company. Two tattooed brothers show that it is possible to evolve the Italian cuisine without making it stupid. Ingredients are fresh from the market in good company.

Wonderful pasta & wine in an old school environmentWhat a wonderful place this is – truly an essential Rome experience with the best pasta of my life. Old world feeling that anything modern cannot touch. Great service with knowledge and personality and a wonderful list of wines from across Italy that brilliantly compliments the food. The highlight of my recent trip to Europe.

One of the iconic traditional Italian restaurants in Rome. ”Outdated” but never out of style. The art deco institution from 1908 where you simply cannot avoid the classic ”Fettucine all’Alfredo” which is just butter and cream woth pasta but is adorable. Do not expect contemporary culinary innovations.

A wonderful and charming Italian traditional restaurant with authentic and delicious food. The wine list an ”Italian Bible” with all relevant and smaller regions. Steps down, there is a stunning wine cellar (with a beautiful private dining room that can be separately reserved). The owner is happy to show it to guests. The owner continues 3rd generation traditions since 1957. Book well in advance.

A true Roman institutionPierluigi a true Roman institution was founded in 1938. It has always been and still is, one of the best know fish restaurants in the city. It can be a bit touristy especially during the summer (with high-profile clients ranging from Obamas to Zuckerbergs) and is both expensive & overpriced. But at the same time, it has its own charm that is hard to deny. It has one of the nicest terraces in Rome and even if the food is nothing spectacular, it is fresh, simple & well made. Especially during the winter, the inside rooms have a stylish 50s feel.

Fresh, fresh fish served in an elegant and hip space. Acquasanta in Testaccio, Rome is an elegant and hip space. The chef is an expert and specialized in fish and all their preparations have one thing In common: fresh, fresh fish presented well in uncommon plates (which for me is a plus!). Had a great time and was happy to see they have reasonable prices as well. Front of house really elegant but not stuffy at all.

Home is where your stomach feels goodJust five minutes walk by the ancient Roman Walls you will find in the heart of this characteristic neighborhood a little treasure called Epiro. Chef Michele De Chirico loves to choose high quality raw materials from local markets to create and refresh traditional dishes for a 360° food experience, Matteo Baldi and Dante Cogliandro will guide you on this journey, telling you everything about the food, Matteo, and Italian, French and Slovenian biodynamic wines, Dante. Their Fettina Panata, veal breaded cutlets, and Maritozzo are both a must eat here, you can’t leave Epiro if you didn’t try these two dishes!

Roman cuisine with ethnic influences by chef Francesca Ciucci. Amazing wine list.An elevated Roman cuisine. Chef Francesca Ciucci is cooking a diverse, ethnically influenced cuisine. You will find, for instance, dishes that have some kind of Asian influence, but still remains mainly Roman. They have an amazing sommelier, Mirka Guberti, one of the most well known among sommeliers. She's also chef patronne, as they are married and are a wonderful couple. You will find organic or biodynamic wines, champagnes from small houses and other rare wines. At La Ciambella you can enjoy a very good wine list together with food that is elevated, beautifully served and of really high quality. Photo: Andrea Di Lorenzo

Garden based, fermenting and mainly vegetarian cuisine.I really like this place. They have a winter garden and a lot of herbs and small vegetables are grown over there. They are specialised in fermenting - they do kombucha and bio-fermented pickles - everything by themselves. It is mainly vegetarian cuisine, but they have some small amounts of fish and meats as well. The chef is one of my ex-cooks, so I'm very proud to say that he's been doing a great job.

An Italian DelightBistrot64 is a minimalist, modern Michelin star restaurant based in the beautiful city of Rome. The restaurant offers a variety of menu options designed to suit a range of hunger levels as well as budgets. The menu showcases modern Italian cuisine boasting the likes of superb pasta, scrambled egg with parmesan and black truffle, Iberian pork and desserts exhibiting white chocolate, passion fruit, coconut and almond. Bistro64 is certainly worth the visit.

Italian fine dining which to my liking has way too often a slight 80s gourmet feel – meaning the food, the plating and the decoration. Luckily the scene is slowly changing. One of the more positive examples is Per Me, a stylish small place in a quiet street, 200m from crowded Campo dei Fiori, holding one Michelin star (normally almost a bad sign in Italy ;). Giulio Terrinoni´s place specializes in fresh fish with refreshingly subtle creative touches. Tasteful small terrace and a wine list specializing in organic and even natural wines is a plus. From Monday to Saturday, there is also a cheaper lunch menu revolving around “tappis”, Terrinoni’s homage to Spanish tapas.
