Campo de’Fiori:

By the Spanish Steps:

By the Pantheon/Piazza Navona:

  • Da Tonino (this is often on the list of “must do’s”, but I think it’s easy to get a tourist kind of meal, meaning not so amazing if they don’t know you) – Trattoria Bassetti Via del Governo Vecchio, 18
  • ParmAroma Via del Pozzo delle Cornacchie, 36
  • Pasta Imperiale (one of Gigi’s favorite for a locals pasta lunch — you choose your noodles and sauce, and they’re made to order quickly) — Via dei Coronari 160
  • Enoteca Corsi (this may be closed, but if it’s open, it’s a great wine bar for some afternoon snacks too) — Via del Gesu 87/88
  • All’Antico Vinaio (They’ve now come to NYC too, but the ones in Italy are better. Plan on splitting the sandwiches, or not! The focaccia is amazing and often hot out of the oven.) — Piazza della Maddalena, 3

Monti district:

Trastevere district:

  • Taverna 51Via della Lungaretta, 85
  • La Gensola (we had a wonderful New Year’s eve meal here!) — Piazza della Gensola 15
  • Tonnarello (there are a few locations, we like this one the best. Expect to line up, but it’s worth it! Make sure to try the fried artichokes) — Via della Paglia, 1/2/3
  • Trattoria Da Enzo al 29via dei Vascellari 29
  • Papa Re — Via della Lungaretta, 149
  • Biscottificio Artigiano Innocenti (bakery, our favorite for biscotti!) — Via della Luce, 21
  • Suppli (food stand that will likely have a line, but it’s worth it!) — Via di S. Francesco a Ripa, 137
