Sciascia Caffè 1919

Welcome to Rome! I know this city can be overwhelming, so I'm here to help! I've divided this guide in various sections (neighbourhood names). These are my favorite places to eat and drink in the Eternal City Please remember it is always best to make reservations while in Rome. If you show up to a restaurant and they are fully booked, they most likely send you away, there is no concept of waiting in line for the next table to free up in Rome (there are some exceptions like most pizza places) Tipping in restaurants is not expected, but it is always very much appreciated! Please remember that tips can only be left in cash so make sure to always have some smaller pieces on hand (it is also preferred when paying for small things like a coffee or water bottle in a bar)

Note: The guide itslef is made to maximise the time off-screen by providing immediate use through symbols and key information. Please make the most out of it! Intro: Since I was a kid (born and raised in Rome) I heard of Romans barely eating around City Centre. We were raised with the idea that is pricy and quality is just average. With this guide I want to lead you in the narrow roads of the City to find hidden gems, as well as "locals-approved" touristic locations. How to Use: Each location will have the following information: a. In the title: - Local / Historic (☆☆☆☆☆) - Touristic, yet good (☆) - Super cheap (€) - Luxury (€€€€€) - Restaurant (R) | Take away (TA) | At the counter (C) | Ethnic (E) | Vegan (V) b. In the description: - The specialty of the house (highlighted in the first picture) - Nearby monument / museum / famous area - Must know information All historic locations have undergone Nonna's approval :) The guide also includes well known restaurants coming from the culinary tradition of: - Persia, India, China, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Mexico, Argentina, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Syria, Lebanon, Greece, Austria.

Rome, the eternal city, captivates visitors with its timeless allure and monumental history. Steeped in over 2,000 years of civilization, every corner tells a story of ancient empires, Renaissance art, and modern vitality. A visit to the Colosseum, the grand amphitheater that once hosted gladiatorial contests, offers a glimpse into the grandeur of ancient Rome, while the Roman Forum nearby serves as an open-air museum of political and social life in antiquity. Beyond the ruins, Vatican City beckons with the awe-inspiring St. Peter's Basilica and the Vatican Museums, home to Michelangelo's masterpiece, the Sistine Chapel ceiling. Wandering through Rome's cobblestone streets, visitors encounter an endless array of architectural marvels, from the majestic Pantheon to the elegant Spanish Steps. Each piazza invites leisurely strolls and indulgent dining experiences, where traditional trattorias serve up delectable Roman cuisine alongside world-class wines. Embrace the city's dolce vita spirit with a leisurely passeggiata along the Tiber River or a sunset vista from the romantic Gianicolo Hill. With its blend of ancient grandeur and modern charm, Rome promises an unforgettable journey through the heart of Italy's cultural legacy.
