Finding a great fish restaurant in Rome is always a thrill, and I’m delighted to add Barra Pescheria con Cucina, in piazza Vescovio, straight to the list. This new restaurant and high-end fishmonger is in one of Rome’s more refined residential areas, so it’s not an easy hike from the centre. However, if your hotel’s…
Zero Pizza is a recently relaunched and refurbished pizzeria in the Re di Roma district of Rome, which slots perfectly into the gap between sit-down pizzerias and fast food pizzerias where you grab a slice or a square to go. At first glance, it’s a rather chic pizza al taglio (pizza by the slice) joint,…
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…

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…
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…
Gazometro38 review Gazometro38 is a bar and restaurant specialising in gourmet pizzas and cocktails, but also offering surprising depth across a menu which changes every four months, to take advantage of seasonal ingredients and add tasty new options for regular customers. Located in a former industrial space on Rome’s via del Gazometro, in the city’s…
Doppio Malto, a new brew restaurant near the Trevi fountain in Rome, has added an extra dimension to a touristy part of the city which sometimes disappoints in terms of dining choices. Beyond the sumptuous craft beer menu, expect moreish fried goodies at Doppio Malto Rome, tender roast capons, sausages, steak and hamburgers to suit…
StileLibero RistoArt is a restaurant and bar which could be defined as a true passion project. While dining is the headline event, this eatery was conceived to also be a music bar, with a fantastic cellar space, as well as a showcase for local fashion designers, displaying bags and accessories as part of the furnishings….
