Trattoria Al Gran Sasso
I have eaten here several times. They usually keep the fresh ingredient of the day in the window. Very local. Surprisingly large basement. Nice quiet quality dinner. Great waiters, great wine, authentic, semi upscale.
Da Bucatino
Relaxed restaurant with bare bricks & beams, serving traditional Roman meat & seafood, plus pizza. We have been here several times. The owner is an older gentleman (a grandfatherly type). He routinely comes by the table and tries to convince you that you are not full and CAN in fact eat more. This is in […]
Spirito di Vino
Intimate slow-food restaurant with a cavernous wine cellar, for modern & traditional Roman cuisine. Allie and I went here on a food tour. The restaurant took the food tour group into the basement wine cellar where they had a table set up and did food and wine tasting. I think one could call the restaurant […]
Rione 13 Ristorante
After trying many restaurants in Trastevere I was so happy to come to Rione xiii. I had the best meal I’ve had in a long time. The service was amazing, Matteo and Kate treated us like family the first time we dined here. They were super helpful with recommendations on the wine list and dinner […]
La Carbonara
Traditional restaurant with tables on the square, serving classic dishes including famed carbonara. LaCarbanara is located right on Campo Dei Fiori. Go to campo Dei Fiori, and have appertivo. Try several different spots facing the square and then finish with a dinner reservation at La Carbonara. The pasta is great, ambiance is great. La Carbonara […]
Mirabelle
Elegant candlelit restaurant in a plush hotel, for high-end Italian cuisine & romantic city views.
Madeleine
French-inspired bistro & patisserie with art nouveau decor, delicate china tea sets & cocktails. Allie and I went here after our long walk back to Rome from the castle.
Old Bear
Allie and I ate here for the first time in October of 21 2022, then again in December of 21. It will be a forever favorite. Truffle lasagna every time. Cozy tavern within a 15th-century convent, serving paella & sangria, but they are absolutely known for their truffle lasagna.
La Punta Expendio de Agave
We absolutely love this place. By far the best Mexican restaurant in Rome. Get a reservation, as it is very small. Ate here again with Allie on Oct 10th, 2021. Get the chips and salsa and wait. Get the burrito al pastor which comes in 2 pieces, so great to share, and get the mole […]
Tora Sushi Restaurant
Allie and ate here on March 29th, 2022. The chicken pot stickers with soy sauce and their spicy sauce were the best I ever had.
