Allo Sbarco di Enea, Ostia Antica

Kitsch, but fun. The waiters dress up in Roman gear and the decor is like a low-budget epic movie. The speciality is fish; try the spaghetti alle vongole (clams).
Andrea

Very congenial and featuring a wide-ranging menu. The supplì (rice croquette) is a classic starter.
Antica Hostaria l’Archeologia, Via Appia Antica

An elegant converted farmhouse, where you dine around the fireplace in winter and in the garden in summer. Rustic regional fare, such as roast lamb and homemade pasta.
Antica Taverna

The owners here get the goat’s milk ricotta and rabbit from their hometown in the Sabine Hills.
Antico Arco

Trendy, pan-Italian, creative eatery in a lovely setting on Gianicolo hill.
Antico Caffè Greco

Rome’s 1760 answer to all the famed literary cafés of Paris. Just off the Spanish Steps on the busiest shopping street in town, it is an elegant holdover from yesteryear, its tiny tables tucked into a series of genteel, cosy rooms plastered with photos, prints and other memorabilia from the 19th-century Grand Tour era. The A-list of past customers runs from Goethe to Byron, Casanova to Wagner.
Antico Caffè Greco

Rome’s premier literary café since 1760, best known for its popularity with the 19th-century English Romantic poets.
Augustarello

Roman-style, heavy-duty cookery. Sample tripe, coda alla vaccinara (oxtail), lingua (tongue) and other peasant fare (see Roman Dishes).
Babington’s Tea Rooms

Good for a very pricey spot of tea and other daintily British edibles. Opened in 1893 by a Derbyshire lady, it was the ex-pat hub of the later Grand Tour era.
Baia Chia

Cuisine from Sardinia, which adds up to lots of fish and lots of flavour.
