The 25 Best Restaurants In Rome 2024

"If you’re looking for a light bite and good natural wine, along with the occasional DJ playing old-school rap and Italian songs you can’t understand but definitely want to dance to, head to Circoletto, a wine bar near Circo Massimo. It’s pretty cheeky and fun here—a sign proudly reads “no spritz” beside their wifi password “zerofucks55” and the bathroom’s decked out in random stickers. The menu has small, mainly traditional plates with a twist, a standout being their pizza bianca filled with pastrami di lingua. It’s like a fancier, tastier version of a BLT, with crispy focaccia instead of white bread, and tender tongue pastrami instead of bacon." - gillian mcguire, annie replogle
