Molto Ristorante is perhaps one of North Rome’s best kept secrets. Located in Parioli, Rome’s posh residential district, it boasts a wonderful garden which makes it one of the best places for al fresco dining in North Rome. Of course, location and atmosphere are only part of a dining experience but this candle-lit terrace makes…
If I told you that Trattoria Pennestri was located in the Ostiense district, just a stone’s throw from Testaccio and Garbatella, you’d be forgiven for expecting robust Roman cuisine and no-nonsense interior decor. But this restaurant is much more interesting, taking its inspiration from the best Roman and Italian traditions, before exploring them with refined…
The Roman neighbourhood of Trastevere is always a good idea, and new Pizza and Roman fish restaurant, Peppo al Cosimato, combines two apparently contrasting dinner choices whilst providing ample charm and value for money. Did you know that sustainable, cheap fish is a staple of Roman cuisine? Now you do! The sea isn’t that far…
Monte 2 Torri Gourmet is the latest development by well-established farmhouse restaurant, organic wine estate and b&b agriturismo Monte Due Torri in Rome’s Castelli Romani. Located in Genzano di Roma, to be precise, this elegant rural estate – known as an agriturismo – has offered loyal clients superb dining experiences in recent years in elegantly…
I’m really excited about sharing this week’s restaurant recommendation – Hosteria Amedeo, in Monte Porzio Catone in the Castelli Romani – which combines incredible food with an unrivalled location in the green hills south-east of Rome. The Castelli Romani – literally translated, Roman castles – are a misnamed collection of villages in an area of…
Pinturicchio 40 is an extremely high-quality Neapolitan restaurant north of Piazza del Popolo in Rome which will seriously transform any preconceptions you have about the southern city’s cuisine. If you think that Neapolitan food equals pizza and sfogliatelle, with an emphasis on carbs and fried food, think again. Pinturicchio digs into the traditions of the…
Traditional Roman cuisine is a compelling mix of Italian ingenuity and seasonal ingredients. And the best thing about visiting Rome is the fact that there are plenty of great, Roman trattorias or osterias which still serve the real deal, like Fratelli Mori in the Ostiense district. Formerly known as 900, this cheerful, cavernous restaurant specialises…
Burger Bar Grill review New eatery Burger Bar Grill is in a sensational location right in the heart of old Rome, next to Chiesa Nuova, just steps from the river Tiber and Castel Sant Angelo. Strangely enough, it’s in a restaurant space which hasn’t always hosted long-lived concepts, almost wholly due to the fact that…
Michelin star restaurants in Rome: Bistrot64 They call it the cheapest Michelin star restaurant in Italy, and indeed – with set menus starting at €40 a head, they’re probably right. But do we want or even need the city’s most prestigious restaurants to compete so keenly with its trattorias on price? And why has a…
There’s something faintly Parisian about this quarter of Rome – the location for new fish restaurant Banchina 63 – with its leafy boulevards and turn-of-the-century apartments. The pavement broadens a little along this quiet street in Prati, setting Banchina 63 back from the road and creating a pleasant pavement cafe vibe in front of its…
