Trattoria Perilli

Roman cuisine is so much more than the ordinary pasta and pizza that everyone assumes at first instance. Being highly influenced by the 'poor person's' concept of cooking, our cuisine is filled with traditional historic recipes, which have been handed down through several generations and transformed over the course of time. With hundreds of restaurants all serving their own versions of classics and innovative dishes, you will have a culinary experience that will exceed your expectations. Having said this, Rome can be a very confusing and overwhelming city to visit. With so many restaurants, bars and food establishments in general to choose from, it's very easy to fall into tourist traps. This is my guide with all my favourite food and beverage spots that you must visit when in Rome!

This guide is the combination of my experience studying ancient Roman art + being an expat living in Rome for 5 years. (Plus being married to an Italian!) I have personally been to each location included in this guide to ensure quality.

The markets are the heart of the city. My favorite markets in Rome and where to eat nearby. This is more than just markets, also some of my favorite neighborhoods.
