The 25 Best Restaurants In Rome 2024

"If any restaurant could make you feel like you’re living in a Federico Fellini film, it’d be Roma Sparita. Especially when you’re having lunch outside, beneath umbrellas and checkered tablecloths in a vast, tranquil piazza, snacking on zucchini squash blossoms and artichokes, both fried to perfection. Everyone around you will likely order the cacio e pepe made with handmade tagliolini noodles and served in a shell of pecorino, but the star of the show is their gnocchi alle vongole, featuring pillows of pasta that soak up all the best bits of the clam sauce. Don’t leave without trying the tripe, bathed in a tomato sauce and dashed with mint and pecorino. " - gillian mcguire, annie replogle
