Osteria St Ana

Warren of basement rooms plastered with photos of famous patrons. Classic Roman cookery.
Panattoni “L’Obitorio”

This Trastevere institution’s nickname (“the morgue”) refers to the chilly effect of the marble that sheathes the walls and acts as tabletops. The reception is as warm as the decor is cold, however, and the Roman pizza as excellent as the supplì al telefono (fried rice balls with a melted mozzarella heart that makes a long “telephone” cord when you pull them apart). Open late.
Papa Giulio

Superb “surf ‘n’ turf” (mare e terra ) themed menu in serene comfort. Try the coda di rospo (monkfish).
Pascucci

This is the place with the frothiest milk shakes and smoothies in town. They come in all flavours and in any combination.
Pinocchio, Frascati

Pinocchio specializes, as does this entire area, in the celebrated porchetta (pork roast).
Piperno

The best Roman Jewish cooking in the Ghetto since 1856 (although also the priciest). Hosts of TV shows have been seen sneaking in to try and unlock the chef’s secrets. Service can be slightly off-hand, but the artichokes can’t be beat.
Piperno

Roman Jewish cuisine at its finest, in a beautiful piazza hidden away from the hubbub. Traditional dishes include carciofi alla giudia (Jewish-style fried artichokes). Booking is a must.
PizzaRé

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.
Pizzeria da Baffetto

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).
