The 42 Best Restaurants in Rome

"A light-filled former cafeteria that's now a wine bar and restaurant with sleek orange-tiled floors, polished timber tables, and shelves filled with jars of jam and homemade antipasti. It's the perfect place for a midweek date night: the dishes are smart and picture-perfect, drawn from a menu that changes nightly and features seasonal charmers like handmade gnocchi with lamb ragu and squash blossoms and risotto with Castelmagno cheese and pear; and the wine list is a selection of Italy's best carefully curated to pair with the food. The servers are true gems—ask them about the list of 150 types of cheese to prove it." - Maresa Manara

Testaccio Is The Roman Neighborhood Every Visitor Should Explore | Eater

"A neighboring trattoria/delicatessen where cheese and salami platters are especially good and presented on heavy squares of slate, making for a reliably tasty, somewhat indulgent bite." - Rachel Roddy

Happy Hour in Rome: A Guide to Bars for Aperitivo | Eater

"An offshoot bistro and wine bar born from a beloved neighborhood grocery, serving the same high-quality cheeses, salami, and wines sold next door plus a full menu of refined dishes—think spaghetti with raw shrimp and lime or a poached egg with potato cream—making it a sit-down spot that channels traditional deli flavors in a more formal dining context." - Luciana Squadrilli

My husband and I were lucky enough to be walking down the street when we saw this amazing wine and cheese bar… although now we know it’s a restaurant as well! We sat for hours and had a couple bottles of wine with an accompanied cheeseboard. We let them choose for us based on our preferences and it did not disappoint. Full charcuterie boards are also available. The wine was outstanding, the cheeses were delicious and the service was impeccable. Super friendly and helpful, never hovering. Can’t wait to go back the next time we are in town!!

I used to come here before the pandemic and I haven't been for 4 years, but after the food today I'll definitely be back. The quality is excellent and the offering is much more interesting than most restaurants in Rome. Delicious!

Our pasta was better than average. Service was friendly but a bit slow. Wine was expensive, but maybe I should have known the wine I ordered was expensive type.

Small, family owned spot in Rome. Very small space, intimate, great jazz playing in the background. The food was delicious and the server was charming and well informed about the dishes and wines. We trusted his recommendations and had a beautiful meal with plates that we shared. I'd definitely eat there again. Make a reservation because it fills up quickly. I don't typically take pictures of my food, but I've added a pic of the wine we ordered because it was wonderful.

I had chef specials on that day which was recommended by the staff there. Food is quite nice. Service is definitely the part made my experience here 11 out of 10. The lady who served me is passionate and attentive the whole time I was dining there. This places is definitely one of my favourite one is Rome.

This was an amazing culinary experience for myself and two young adult children. The food here was absolutely amazing. The service was impeccable, and the whole atmosphere and experience was a great way to end our time in Rome. I love to see where they are excited about the food and engage. I would highly recommend this place if you like quality food that is made with love and care for the food. I got lost in the food and forgot to take more pictures, but everything was absolutely amazing. Wish I had more room to eat more.

Incredible food and the warmest service! While we waited for our table, the staff invited us for two glasses of wine, which was such a thoughtful touch. Every dish was delicious, and the team made us feel like family. Highly recommend if you’re in Rome!

We arrived late for lunch, but were warmly welcomed by the best wait staff we’ve encountered in Rome. The daily black truffle specials were both amazing as was the artichoke starter. The tiramisu was excellent. The friendly service combined with amazing food means we will remember this meal for a long time. We hope to return soon.

The place is lovely, it could do with softer lighting in the evening or something to warm up the ambient. Service was friendly and attentive. Wine list is really good even for by the glass selection. Food was excellent, simple yet sophisticated. I had "drunk octopus", which was really good and perfect truffle tonnarelli.

Was really great-had the gnocchi ragu and it was awesome. Was reasonable and in a cute neighborhood.

Overall, I was disappointed and found it overpriced and little care for the price. I was in the mood for vegetables and therefore had two vegetable plates, a caponata (that they recommended to me) and a gratinee artichoke. The artichoke was actually rather special - with an unusual cream sauce on the side. However, the caponata (at a hefty 9 euro) was clearly microwaved and came to the table partially ice cold and the other part warm. The bread was more interesting than the average, but the charge of 2.50 euro for once person was simply too much. My simple two vegetable dishes with water and bread (no coffee, no dessert) cost 22 euro. Many other places provide spreads of vegetables for much less.
