"The cooking at Romeow, a bistro that’s seemingly half run by cats (the eatery’s permanent residents), is entirely vegan, taking inspiration from Indian and Mexican cuisine, while also serving a menu of raw food. Here you will eat surrounded by tiny coloured tables, plants and draws that hang open where the cats will slyly observe you as you taste the menu’s many dishes. You can enjoy muffins, brownies (4 euros) and raw cakes for breakfast, such as the pear and caramel tart or blueberry and coconut cake (7 euros)."

"If you really want to go ‘ingegralista’ (fundamentalist), then Solo Crudo provides you with not just vegan but raw food too – or at least nothing cooked at more than 42C. This funky place is the future of vegan food and if we had to pick just one vegan place in Rome to eat at, this would be it.

"Located in the heart of old Rome, not far from the Pantheon, Ciao Checca has been quietly expanding across the ground floor of a series of period buildings to create a charming hotchpotch of rooms on different levels, providing cosy corners for breakfast, lunch or aperitivo. Ciao Checca opened about seven years ago, quickly gaining a reputation as something of a pioneer in Rome for creating healthy, often zero km food, with a particular attention to generating compostable waste. As an official restaurant of the Slow Food culture – a grass roots organisation celebrating traditional cooking and local food – Ciao Checca is meticulous in selecting ingredients and resurrecting heritage recipes."

"Inspired by other street food experiences from time spent abroad, the creators of Ciao Checca sought to invigorate their love for classic pasta dishes with a contemporary, regional twist. If you’re close to the Pantheon, be sure to stop at Ciao Checca for the Roman classic pasta alla checca."

"Ciao Checca offers pasta with the freshest ingredients in a cup, grab it to go or stay in. They also have gluten free options. Piazza di Firenze 25"

"Alle Carrette’s interior is decidedly functional: copper-colored walls and bare-brick arches that are endemic to many Roman restaurants. But the gathering spot specializes in conviviality, which it has in spades. The wine-stained table mats and spare remnants of tomato sauce on empty plates, hastily mopped up by hungry diners, tell you all you need to know."

"If you want to stop for lunch near to the Colosseum, we recommend Alle Carrette [Via della Madonna dei Monti, 95] a casual pizza restaurant in the Monti district near the Colosseum. In the evening we recommend taking a food tour of the Trastevere district. If you have never been on a food tour, you are in for a treat."

"Footsteps from the Roman Forum in a cobblestoned street in the Monti district, you’ll find the renowned Alle Carrette. Delicious thin-crust pizza cooked in a wooden oven, fast and friendly service and a great price-quality ratio. Once you’ve tried their fritti, it’s a guarantee you’ll be back for more."

"Via Alberto Cadlolo, 101 (Monte Mario) Daily 7am-10pm 06.35091romecavalieri.com. To get an idea of the type of spa we are talking about here – it was once voted Europe’s Best Hotel Spa. A self-proclaimed ‘Mediterranean oasis’ in the heart of Rome, but this title doesn’t capture the the grandeur of the Cavalieri Grand Spa Club."
