A taste of our Rome Guide
Here are a few handpicked places from our complete guide, designed to make your stay in Rome special.
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.
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.
Il Seme Bookstore
An independent bookstore located in the Prati district. Often described by locals as having a well-curated selection, perhaps focusing on quality literature, essays, or specific genres. A good place to browse for a non-mainstream read.
Biblioteca dell’Orologio (Clock Tower Library)
A public library belonging to the Biblioteche di Roma network, located near Piazza della Chiesa Nuova and adjacent to Borromini’s famous Oratorio dei Filippini (which features a clock tower – ‘orologio’). Offers book lending, reading spaces, and potentially cultural events. Check website for opening hours and services.
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.
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.
Antico Forno Roscioli
Located in the Flaminio district, MAXXI is Italy’s national museum dedicated to contemporary creativity. Designed by renowned architect Zaha Hadid, the building itself is a stunning piece of modern architecture worth seeing. It hosts exhibitions of 21st-century art, architecture, design, and photography.
Borghese Gallery and Museum
Housed in the beautiful Villa Borghese Pinciana, this gallery contains masterpieces by Bernini (like Apollo and Daphne, David), Canova (Pauline Bonaparte), Caravaggio, Raphael, and Titian. The collection is displayed in its original setting, making the visit incredibly immersive. The surrounding Villa Borghese park is also worth exploring.
Casadante
A cafe/bistrot located in Piazza Dante (Esquilino district). Likely offers a cozy, perhaps home-like (‘casa’) atmosphere for coffee, pastries, lunch, or aperitivo. Situated on a large piazza.
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.
Villa Doria Pamphili Park
Rome’s largest landscaped public park. Perfect for walking, jogging, cycling (bike rentals available), picnics, or just relaxing away from the city bustle. It features gardens, fountains, ancient ruins, and the elegant Casino del Bel Respiro (usually not open inside). Also home to Vivi Bistrot for organic food and drinks.
Il Desiderio Preso per la Coda
A cozy bistrot/restaurant tucked away in the historic center near Via Giulia. Often recommended for its creative brunch options, but also serves lunch and dinner. May focus on organic or locally sourced ingredients. Intimate atmosphere.
