Top Best Italian Restaurants in Italy

"Roscioli is an interesting concept, as it juxtaposes a typical delicatessen (salumeria in Italian) with a gourmet restaurant, focusing on carefully sought-out ingredients. Doubling as a wine bar, chef Monosilio is a regular: “That’s where you’ll find me if I’m in Rome!. ” Try the ravioli di coda e pecorino, a complex dish that features homemade ravioli stuffed with cow’s tail and pecorino cheese, served with a slightly spicy foie gras and fig sauce; or indulge in some meat or cheese boards, complete with some of the best charcuterie from all over Europe."

"Tucked away in Rome’s historic centre, Roscioli is a household name that’s owned by the city’s most famous baking family. With an extravagant menu of cheese, cured meats, and heavenly pasta dishes, Roscioli is famous for its creative use of ingredients. Oh, and its spectacular wine list is second-to-none if you want something to wash it all down with."

"Cheap restaurants near the Pantheon are tricky to come by, but amongst the usual tourist traps you’ll find one of the city’s most authentically Roman restaurants. The menu is full of Italian classics like grilled lamb chops, and pasta alla gricia (guanciale, pecorino cheese, and black pepper). The restaurant itself is relatively tiny, and the owners like to cram diners in, but mark our words, the food, the atmosphere and the price tag, are more than worth the squeeze."

"Come for the fagioli con le cotiche – a hearty Roman stew with pork and beans. Opened in 1961, this small, heart-on-sleeve, 14-table trattoria close to the Pantheon shows a studied commitment to old school, diet-be-damned Roman cooking. With a hardcore following of locals, the roster of pasta dishes includes the classic cacio e pepe, and there are quintessential meat dishes such as saltimbocca alla romana (prosciutto-wrapped, wine-marinated veal)."

"As you may already and guessed, the Armando al Pantheon is within shouting distance of Rome’s magnificent Pantheon. So, after a good gander at the stunning ancient structure when you’re feet are a little sore, and you’re looking for a feed, head here. Like all the best places, this trattoria is a family run establishment."

"Gabriele Bonci, a former chef, launched himself into baking at a young age, but only began following his true passion with the opening of Pizzarium in 2004. This 500-square-foot shop serves Rome’s ubiquitous street foods, including pizza by the slice and supplì — rice croquettes that Bonci has elevated to an art form through the use of exquisite artisan flours and other top-notch ingredients. Most of the menu changes to reflect the seasons and the whims of the kitchen, but you’ll always find a handful of classic pizza toppings like potato with mozzarella, and tomato with oregano."

"In Italy there is a huge difference between Pizza and Pizza al taglio. Unlike Pizza that’s served whole, Pizza Taglio is sold by weight and usually the person over the counter will hold a knife over a giant pizza and you can specify the exact amount of pizza you need. Pizza al taglio at 18 euro / kg is a bit too expensive as any Roman will tell you….after all Al Taglio Pizza is the ultimate comfort food found at every street corner, local market, tourist hub and basically everywhere else in Rome."

"Gabriele Bonci’s landmark pizza al taglio (pizza by the slice) shop near the Vatican Museums entrance isn’t a restaurant per se. There’s no table service, and there are only a few benches outside. But in the decade since it opened, Pizzarium has become a globally acclaimed landmark where cold-fermented, heirloom wheat-based dough is topped with exquisite produce from biodynamic sources and artisanal cured meats and cheeses."

"Four generations have dutifully served local classics in this set of dining rooms decorated with art collected since the restaurant’s opening in the early 1920s. The passage of time has taken its toll on the family of owners — they are notoriously dismissive of newcomers — but the kitchen is as devoted as ever to delivering Roman classics according to strictly followed seasons. In the fall, look for a wonderful array of raw, grilled, sauteed and fried wild mushrooms, followed by winter’s artichoke dishes."

"Located near the Trevi Fountain, Al Moro is among Rome’s most historic restaurants. Visit for a supremely Roman experience encompassing excellent traditional and seasonal dishes served brusquely in a set of dining rooms hung with art donated by more than eight decades of regulars. The best time to go is at lunchtime or a late dinner seating, when the dining room will be majority Romans (earlier, the place is pretty packed with tourists)."

"Close to the Trevi Fountain, Al Moro serves some of the top things to eat in Rome. If you landed in the Italian capital with the intention of trying the proper local food in Rome without getting too far from the main monuments, this is one of the top eateries to try. The pasta is fresh because this is how tradition recommends, the cakes are artisan made, cheese and cold cuts locally-sourced, the ingredients seasonal."

"Rome is my hometown and I love showing it off to my kids, teaching them about it, and see their reaction to all its marvels.”. My best tip for an enjoyable family trip to Rome is to mix sightseeing with time at the playground, something pretty easy to do in Rome thanks to the city many parks, some of which are close to Rome’s big attraction. For instance, in front of the Colosseum, there is a small and well-kept playground with a coffee kiosk that is just perfect for adults and kids."

"Known as Rome’s oldest restaurant, La Campana has been delighting hungry customers for some five centuries. Run by the same family since its inception, La Campana is located in the very city centre near the river. Excellent the dishes of the tradition and fish lovers will have several option in a menu that successfully combines history and modernity."

"Located in the historic center, Ristorante La Campana claims to be one of the oldest restaurants in Rome with a 500-year-old history. Unfortunately, only interior seating is available but the menu is typical Roman and portions are quite large. Come here if you’re looking more for typical food rather than for a romantic setting."

"La Campana or “The Bell” has been serving up traditional Roman cuisine for 500 years. So, if our suggestions haven’t quite piqued your interest and you’re still wondering where to eat in Rome, go here."

"Up to a third of the Vatican is covered by the perfectly manicured Vatican Gardens, which contain fortifications, grottoes, monuments, fountains, and the state's tiny heliport and train station. Visits are by guided tour only – either on foot (two hours) or by open-air bus (45 minutes) – for which you’ll need to book at least a week in advance.After the tour you're free to visit the Vatican Museums on your own; admission is included in the ticket price."

"Occupying the entire western part of the Vatican, the verdant Gardens of Vatican City are a collection of urban parks and gardens officially owned by the pope. A few buildings like the Governor’s Palace and Radio Vatican dot the gardens, as well as several sculptures and fountains. The Gardens of Vatican City are one of the top Vatican City tourist attractions."

"As far as parks with history, you will want to look at this interesting park, Parco Della Caffarella. The area is located near a plethora of historical sites and is an estate that has become an integral part of parks and recreation as a whole. It is a part of the Appia Antica Regional Park and showcases a good mix of visuals, gardens, trees and rest areas for those that want to get a nice, brisk walk in their vacation."

"A post shared by Through Eternity Tours (@througheternitytours) on Apr 26, 2018 at 2:39pm PDT. The rustic and extensive Parco della Caffarella in southern Rome seems lost to time, its serene landscapes drawn straight from the contours of a painting by Nicolas Poussin or Claude Lorraine. An enticing admixture of fascinating classical ruins and pastoral beauty, the Caffarella is located just off the ancient Appian Way."
