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 Moro
Artichokes, mushrooms, asparagus — in their season. Pasta al Moro a must.

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

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.

Matricianella
Wonderful wine cellar to accompany the Roman classics.

Piatto Romano
Everything is good here. Fried artichokes are a must.

Panna & Co.
Tiny gelateria where everything is homemade and stunningly good

Antico Forno La Stelletta
Don’t miss the porchetta sandwich on pizza bianca

Il Goccetto
Warm, inviting atmosphere for wonderful wines by the glass and bottle

Mercato di Testaccio
My favorite food market in Rome. Stop by Mordi e Vai for one of a kind Roman sandwiches.

La Vita e un Mozzico
Renowned for its porchetta sandwich with stracciatella

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!

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

Da Cesare al Casaletto
Superb Fritti, world class Matriciana.
