Rome

Although functioning as a vibrant, modern capital akin to any in Europe, the unique appeal of Rome is that the entire city is a vast, 3,000-year-old, indoor-outdoor museum. In every quarter you’ll find ancient monuments, art treasures and timeless architecture in churches, galleries and protected ruins. Home to the world’s smallest city, the Vatican, Rome has religion at its heart and history in its soul – a city that dazzles and inspires visitors time and time again.

  • Roman mini-chain serving thicker, Neapolitan-style wood oven pies. Cheap lunch menus include cover charge, drink, and a pizza, a pasta, or a roast meat dish.

  • By many folks’s reckoning, the best pizzeria in Rome.

  • Pizzeria da Baffetto

    The best pizza in Rome but, as is traditional for a pizzeria, it is open only for dinner and, beyond pizza, only serves bruschetta and other simple appetizers (see Antipasto). The thin-crust, wood-oven pizzas come either piccolo (small) or grande (large).

  • Pizzeria da Ivo

    The most famous pizzeria in Trastevere, definitely discovered by the tourist crowds, but local fans never let them take it over completely. The pizza is great, but skip the other second-rate main meals.

  • A lively football theme and ever-present crowds are the features of Rome’s favourite pizzeria.

  • Pizzeria da Ricci

    This Liberty-style pizzeria, in the Ricci family since 1905, is hidden away on a quiet dead-end street off Via Nazionale. The pizzas are tiny (many people order two) but excellent; complement them with the sweet northern Lazio white wine Est! Est! Est!, after which the place is nicknamed.

  • The best Neapolitan-style pizza in Rome, good antipasti , and a fan-cooled interior plastered with photos of famous patrons make this one of Rome’s best pizzerias.

  • Vittorio Martini’s unassuming little place with its wood beams and a few tables on the cobblestones out front serves perhaps the best Neapolitan-style pizza in Rome, courtesy of award-winning pizzaiolo Angelo Jezzi. The mixed antipasti plate is generous and a great bargain.

  • Innovative pizza is served here - Roman-style, but with a thick crust.

  • Pizzeria dar Poeta

    There’s a merry war between ultra thin-crust Roman pizza and thicker, chewier Neapolitan pizza. Dar Poeta goes its own road, letting the dough rise a full day (rather than the usual hour), resulting in a thin yet light and airy pie loaded down with the freshest of toppings. Tucked into a quiet Trastevere side street, with some coveted tables out front and more in the air-conditioned brick-walled dining room.
