The 42 Best Restaurants in Rome

"Santo Palato is exactly what a Roman trattoria should be: unassuming outside, bright and welcoming within. The tiny kitchen opens onto the dining room to give you a peek at the setting where chef Sarah Cicolini works her magic. The small menu's packed with gems; depending on what’s fresh at the market that day, you might see comforting bowls of pasta with chickpeas, or the most satisfying plate of mezze maniche pasta carbonara. The mains are more inventive: chicken with pork, hazelnut and truffle stuffing, or beef fillet with lime and radicchio. Wash it down with some house red." - Maresa Manara
