Danny Meyer’s Food guide to Rome

Caffe Sant’Eustachio
Peerless cappuccino, just a few steps from the Pantheon.

Armando al Pantheon
Roman classics done right, surprisingly not too touristy given its location.

Al Modo
Artichokes, mushrooms, asparagus — in their season. Pasta al nero a must.

Tazza d’Oro
The most refreshing Granita di Caffe in Rome.

Flavio al Velavevodetto
Warm hospitality, superb pasta, best chicken cacciatora.

Checchino dal 1887
A must if you’ve never been to Rome — my favorite Amatriciana in the city. Don’t miss the Abbacchio alla Cacciatoraand the house-made apple cake for dessert.

Felice a Testaccio
All Roman classics. Abbacchio al Forno is the best — also very well known for their Tonnarelli cacio e pepe.

Gelateria Fatamorgana
Favorite Roman-style gelato.

Ristorante Piperno
Classic ristorante in the heart of the Jewish Ghetto. Refined and friendly. Flawless execution, especially carciofi!

Roscioli Bakery
Worth a visit for pizza bianca and takeaway meals.

Da Gino al Parlamento
Local trattoria for government types who love their Roman home cooking. Throw a dart at the menu and you’ll end up with something good!

Checco er Carettiere
Trastevere’s most charming room, with warm hospitality and magical atmosphere.

Pizzeria da Remo
Epitome of Roman thin crust pizza in the heart of Testaccio. Prepare to wait. Fun and well worth it!

Hotel Raphael’s Terrace
Ottimo venue for aperitivi above and just next door to Piazza Navona.

Antico Forno del Ghetto
Go first thing in the morning — order a simple slice of Pizza Bianca or Pizzetta Rossa, fresh out of the oven.
