The 42 Best Restaurants in Rome

"Good restaurants in Trastevere can be hard to come by these days, but upon entering Da Teo, all signs point to us being in the right place. Don’t come here expecting anything more (or less) than Roman classics–albeit perfectly executed. Start with the crispy, salty, utterly delicious zucchini blossoms (handily priced per piece), followed by one of the pastas–if you’re here on Thursdays go for the gnocchi, otherwise their spaghetti with fresh tuna, capers, and olives is particularly good. When it comes to the mains, the lamb chops are done scottadito-style – which translate to ‘burn your fingers’–so grilled and perfectly bite-sized. The chicken and pepper stew was well-received, as was the side of baked potatoes and skillet-fried chicory. The dessert list is small; we’d go for the house special of mascarpone mousse with baby strawberries, dusted in icing sugar." - Maresa Manara
