What to Eat in Rome - Local Cuisine

Ah - impazzire! I don’t think its needs any mention here. Italian cuisine is a delightful journey through rich flavors and traditional dishes that vary by region. In Rome, you must try Cacio e Pepe, a simple yet divine pasta dish made with Pecorino Romano cheese and black pepper; it’s best enjoyed at Da Enzo al 29. Carbonara, a creamy pasta with egg, guanciale (cured pork cheek), and Pecorino cheese, is a must-try at Roscioli. Other places in the vicinity of Trastevere not to be missed is Tratorria de Teo. For pizza lovers, Pizzeria La Montecarlo serves some of the best wood-fired pizzas in town another notable establishment to check is Seu Pizza. Don’t miss Carciofi alla Romana, tender artichokes cooked with garlic and mint, which you can savor at Santo Palato. And to finish, indulge in a classic Tiramisu at Pompi, known as the King of Tiramisu in Rome. Buon appetito!

Picture yourself indulging in a plate of creamy, rich Risotto alla Milanese, with each bite bursting with the delicate flavor of saffron. Pair it with a glass of crisp, refreshing Prosecco, its bubbles dancing on your palate. And to finish, a silky Tiramisu that melts in your mouth, leaving you in a state of pure bliss.

Imagine savoring a plate of creamy, rich Carbonara, with its silky sauce made from egg and Pecorino Romano, perfectly complemented by the salty crunch of guanciale. Picture yourself indulging in a slice of Margherita pizza, its thin crust bubbling with fresh mozzarella, tangy tomato, and fragrant basil. And don't forget the tiramisu—layers of espresso-soaked ladyfingers, mascarpone cream, and a dusting of cocoa that melts in your mouth with each heavenly bite.

Tips: Most restaurants have a COPERTIVO (Cover Charge) for using the table. Make sure wherever you sit down to eat doesn’t have a COPERTIVO. It ranges from 2-5 Euros per person. It usually gets you bread and olive oil. Your choice of course, but if you have a budget to follow then it could be helpful.
