Welcome to VisitRome
Step off the train at Termini, and you hit a wall of heat and noise. Mopeds buzz past, their exhaust mingling with the rich aroma of fresh espresso. This is Rome, where every corner tells a story that’s been simmering for centuries, and every street has its own distinct flavor.
At VisitRome, we know this city like the back of our hand. We’ve spent years eating, walking, and observing, and we’re here to guide you through the layers of Rome’s complex urban landscape. With 164 restaurant listings, you’ll never be left wondering where to have your next meal. From the crisp crackle of a Roman-style pizza at Da Baffetto to the earthy, meaty depth of oxtail stew at Checchino dal 1887 in Testaccio, we’ve sniffed out the best bites across the city.
Our 102 in-depth articles cover everything from navigating the crowds at the Colosseum to finding pockets of tranquility on Aventino Hill. Each piece is crafted to give you the inside scoop — like a local telling you their favorite trattoria that's tucked away on a narrow street. We steer clear of the fluff and focus on the real, gritty details that matter.
Rome isn’t just a city; it’s a collection of neighborhoods, each with its own character. Our 19 neighborhood guides take you from the elegant streets of Parioli, where you can enjoy a gelato while watching the world go by, to the lively, bohemian vibe of Pigneto, where street art and aperitivo bars come alive as the sun sets. As you wander through the historical maze of Centro Storico or catch your breath by the fountains of Piazza Navona, these guides help you understand the distinct pulse of each area.
Eating in Rome isn't just about food; it's about history and tradition on a plate. Our restaurant listings reflect the diversity and depth of Roman cuisine. Picture yourself savoring supplì, those golden nuggets of fried rice oozing mozzarella, standing at a counter in Trastevere, or relaxing with a glass of Frascati in a quiet corner of Monti.
Before you head out, remember that Rome rewards the curious and the patient. Let your feet lead you down unexpected alleys, past ancient ruins and buzzing markets. Use VisitRome as your compass and set out knowing that with each step, you’ll find the city revealing itself in ways both familiar and surprising. Embrace the chaos, and Rome will give you a slice of life that’s anything but ordinary.
