Vinaietto - Old Winery

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.

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.
