Achingly hipster, this cocktail bar does pretty good Mexican sushi if you can imagine such a thing. A great place to see and be seen.

This tiny gem is great for budget socialising. Very friendly, great cocktails, inexpensive beer and a basic aperitivo option. And no, we don't know why it’s called that either.

This is without any doubt our favourite bar in all of Rome. It’s off the main drag so is only for the hip cognoscenti. Great staff, music, cocktails, craft beers - and the ‘trapizzini’ are stunning.

One of the most famous Sicilian delis in the city, this is the place to go for delicious fritti, arancini, cannoli, and it does a great line in beer and late night home-made gelato.

Food Scene
Not just sushi but kosher sushi! Fun, clean, bright restaurant with a 'traditional' sushi conveyer and pretty good food. This place is a big hit with the local Jewish community.

Traditional Jewish-Roman foods, brought just a few kilometres from the original Ghetto in the city centre. Try the carciofo alla giudia (Jewish artichoke) and beer from Tel Aviv: sensational.

Another place famous for its aperitivo, just buy one evening drink to enjoy unlimited delights from the wood-fired pizza oven and a host of other delicacies. Expect to wait a while to get in though.

Rome is not just about pasta: Eritrean food is popular here and this is one of the best in Rome. Tsebhi stew and other delicious spiced treats all arranged on the crumpet-like injera bread. Delicious.

Mexican food... In Rome! This is one of only a few. Everything is hand made - soft corn tacos, home made sauces, carnitas, pico de gallo, this is one of the only really authentic places in the city.

PIZZA! Sorry Rome, Naples does it better. With a wood-fired oven this place does the best pizza for miles around, with a huge selection of toppings. And dozens of other Neapolitan delicacies too.

Food food and more food! The €15 four-course set menu is so generous you can hardly finish it. Surely the best value in Rome. It's astoundingly cheap and the quality is good considering the price.
