A taste of our Rome Guide
Here are a few handpicked places from our complete guide, designed to make your stay in Rome special.
Lanificio 159
A former wool mill in the Pietralata area (more peripheral) transformed into a dynamic multi-purpose cultural venue. It hosts a diverse range of events including concerts (indie, electronic), DJ sets, markets, and exhibitions. Often features a restaurant/bar area and a terrace overlooking the Aniene river. Check their website or social media for the current event schedule.
Bonci Pizzarium
Often called the “Michelangelo of Pizza,” Gabriele Bonci’s Pizzarium near the Vatican is a must-visit for ‘pizza al taglio’ (pizza by the slice, sold by weight). Expect creative, high-quality toppings that change frequently, served on a distinctive airy crust. It can get very crowded, but it’s worth the wait.
Velavevodetto Ai Quiriti Restaurant
Located in the Prati neighborhood on Piazza dei Quiriti, Velavevodetto ai Quiriti is the renowned sister restaurant to the famous Flavio al Velavevodetto in Testaccio. It’s celebrated for its authentic Roman cuisine, especially classic pasta dishes like Carbonara, Amatriciana, and Gricia. The atmosphere blends tradition with a refined touch, and it boasts an excellent wine list.
Ozio Restaurant
Located in the Prati district, Ozio Restaurant is known for having a rooftop terrace offering pleasant views. Likely serves modern Italian or Mediterranean cuisine, suitable for dinner or possibly an aperitivo with a view.
Cinema Nuovo Sacher
Filmmaker Nanni Moretti’s iconic cinema located in Trastevere. It’s known for its high-quality programming, focusing on auteur cinema, independent films, and often showing movies in their original language (look for ‘V.O.’ – versione originale). Features an outdoor arena (‘arena estiva’) during the summer months.
Teatro Stanze Segrete
An intimate and experimental theatre space located in Trastevere, often housed in a basement or cellar-like venue (‘stanze segrete’ means secret rooms). Known for its ‘off-circuit’ productions, contemporary dramaturgy, and creating a close connection between performers and the audience. Check their schedule for current shows.
Caffè Letterario
Located in the Ostiense district, often within a larger library/cultural center complex, Caffè Letterario serves as both a cafe/bar and a space for events. Hosts book presentations, readings, live music, and discussions in a relaxed atmosphere popular with students and locals. Check their schedule for events.
Sant’Eustachio Il Caffè
A historic coffee shop near the Pantheon, established in 1938. Famous for its patented ‘Gran Caffè Speciale’ – a unique espresso blend prepared with sugar added during the brewing process, resulting in a naturally sweet and frothy coffee. Enjoy it standing at the bar like a local for the authentic experience.
Casetta Rossa
Located in Garbatella, Casetta Rossa is a community-focused social space (‘spazio sociale’) often hosting cultural events and workshops. It includes a simple, popular osteria offering traditional Roman dishes at fair prices, usually with outdoor seating. Very informal atmosphere.
Gianfornaio
A high-quality bakery (‘forno’) with multiple locations across Rome. Offers a wide selection of breads, pastries (like cornetti for breakfast), cakes, and excellent ‘pizza al taglio’ with various toppings, perfect for a quick and tasty lunch or snack.
Biblioteca Storica (Biblioteca Angelica)
Located near Piazza Navona, this is one of Europe’s oldest public libraries, opened in 1604. It boasts a stunning historic reading room with antique wooden shelves and a vast collection of manuscripts and books. Primarily a research library; visitor access to the main hall might be restricted or require permission – check official website for visiting rules.
CSOA Forte Prenestino
Located in the Centocelle district, this is a large historic fort transformed into a CSOA (Self-managed Occupied Social Center). It’s a major hub for Rome’s underground and alternative culture, hosting concerts (punk, reggae, electronic, etc.), festivals (like Crack! Fumetti Dirompenti), markets, workshops, and political events. Check their website/social media for the specific event calendar.
Great apartment and great location! All major sights are in 15-20 min walking distance. You have cafes, restaurants and shops (and a city spa 😉 within 100mtrs. The place is very central yet quiet, great for families . Gianluca is a great host and was very friendly, flexible and always reacted immediately. I hope to be back to this place and Rome in the future!

Gianluca’s place is a great location and a great space too! We enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back again.
Danielle
The apartment is beautiful. Martina was very easy to reach when there were questions.
The interior design is as described, very chic with a mix of modern and antique.
The location is key, it’s just between Pantheon and Piazza Navona and has a little cafe next door where you can have a coffee and pastry at the bar. A little convenient store is also next door and a bigger shop is just a block away.
It was a lovely stay in the apartment.
