Hip Restaurants in Rome

Monday, June 15, 2009

First, when in Rome, keep in mind that:

Generally, the Rome restaurants near Stazione Termini are to be avoided if you want to pay reasonable prices for good-quality food. The side streets around Piazza Navona and Campo de' fiori harbour many good-quality, low-priced trattorie and pizzerie, and the areas of San Lorenzo (to the east of Termini, near the university) and Testaccio (south of the city centre near the Piramide di Cestio mausoleum) are popular eating districts with the locals. Trastevere offers an excellent selection of rustic-style eating places hidden in tiny piazzas, and pizzerie where it doesn't cost the earth to sit at table on the street.

The following is a list of best voted resaurants in Rome BY THE LOCALS!
