Where do you eat in Rome? Looking for a workers restaurant in Rome? Maybe a Michelin restaurant in Rome? Arriving in the culinary capital and standing in front of lists upon lists, recommendations upon recommendations, videos, photos, Instagram, Facebook…
Confused? Rightfully so. We have lived in Rome for over 12 years, we have learned that everyone who writes: the best pizza is in…
The most delicious ice cream.. The best pistachio cornetto in Rome.. Here you have to pay attention to who sells us and what.
Rome is full of recommended restaurants, and has an unimaginable abundance. This does not mean that you will not fall into traps, but the best method is not to look for a restaurant when you are starving, otherwise everything looks delicious from the outside, do not submit to the persuasion of waiters posted outside restaurants, do not submit to exaggerated videos on Instagram, do not give weight to anyone who makes determinations because no one knows better than him The world is diverse, the world is rich and everyone has a different palate, what is good for us is not necessarily good for you and vice versa.
Here is a list of what we find to be good, and we have another long list of places because there really is no end to it and we share it orally during the tours according to what we are asked and in accordance with your wishes.
Use your intuition, long queues do not indicate a good restaurant in Rome but good marketing. Even locals fall prey to the network, this applies to all of us. These are restaurants we visit and we really like the food they serve:
