Colline Emiliane

The speciality here is Emilia-Romagna cuisine, which highlights a variety of prosciutto (ham) dishes and tortellini in brodo (meat-filled pasta in broth).
Coriolano, Porta Pia

The place to eat if you decide to explore Via Nomentana. Try pasta with lobster sauce.
Cremeria Monteforte

A prime tourist position (next to the Pantheon) doesn’t always sound the death knell. This joint guarded by a wooden Pinocchio doorman serves the best fragola (strawberry) ice cream in town and interesting variations such as orange chocolate.
Cul de Sac

One of Rome’s oldest wine bars, with lots of labels on offer. A bit of a squeeze inside and out, but a better option than the nearby bars of the Piazza Navona.
Da Augusto

Die-hard Trastevere osteria complete with wooden tables and traditional menu.
Da Augusto

Archetypal Trastevere trattoria . Block-style wooden tables and butchers’ss paper mats form the decor; the menu is recited by the busily indifferent waiters rather than printed. Good table wine and the food comprises excellent, simple traditional dishes. In fine weather there is seating on the tiny piazza-cum-car park out front.
Da Cesaretto

This osteria ignores its high rent location, acting as if little has changed since it opened in 1886. Prices are relatively low and dishes are solid Roman specialities (see Roman Dishes). There is no phone and no reservations; come early or expect to queue.
Da Giggetto

Famous for its first-rate cookery and grand setting, right next to the soaring columns of the Portico d’Ottavia. Try chicory shoots (puntarelle ) with anchovy dressing, a typical Roman dish.
Da Gino

Visit these trompe-l’oeil vaults for food like nonna (grandma) used to make.
Da Giovanni

A tiny trattoria that serves good, filling, traditional Roman fare at very low prices.
