  • The cuisine here hails from the owners’s home in the nearby Abruzzi mountains, as the name suggests.

  • Excellently priced menus featuring inventive Italian cooking.

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

  • 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.

  • Beer hall with excellent, cheap food sponsored by Italy’s premier brewery – try their “Blue Ribbon” Nastro Azzurro label.

  • Birreria Viennese

    A little bit of Bavaria right near the Spanish Steps, complete with wood benches, pretzels and litre-sized mugs of beer.

  • The right-wing bastion in the long-standing Piazza del Popolo café war, with cheaper espresso , better ice cream and a restaurant upstairs (the Rosati is more stylish, though).

  • Art Nouveau rival to the right-wing Canova across the piazza, this has long been the haunt of left-wing intellectuals.

  • This restaurant’s popularity rollercoaster is currently on the upswing, with international celebrities again gracing its tables on Piazza del Popolo for classic Roman cuisine in view of the Ferraris parked out front.

  • Some of the best food and lowest prices in this high-rent neighbourhood. Mix of seafood and Roman dishes. The candlelit tables out front are a nice touch.
