The 5 Best Restaurants in Rome

Thursday, June 21st, 2012

It’s one of the most enduring cultures of all time, so it’s only fitting that the restaurants of Rome are of equal greatness to its history. If you’re looking for excellent places in the city to catch a bite, here are five of the best.

Rome

5: Ditirambo

Ditirambo is a quirky little restaurant tucked away from the rest of Rome, but don’t let the winding roads and small doors fool you. What it lacks in locale in makes up in food – everything from traditional tonnarelli to more daring blends of spiced meats and unusual fondues. Best of all, most of its staff speaks English, so you won’t have to fumble around with a language barrier when ordering!

4: Ad Hoc

With tasty meals at affordable prices, Ad Hoc has become one of the go-to restaurants for visitors looking for an authentic taste of Mediterranean cuisine. Enjoy lunch, dinner and late-night plates that can accommodate any budget, and do it all with spectacular views of the streets below. Play your cards right and the chef has even been known to share his recipes with satisfied customers!

3: Ristorante Eleonora D’Arborea

Ready for the best seafood in the northern hemisphere? Ristorante Eleonora D’Arborea is world-famous for the most delicious dishes to come out of the sea. With everything from buttered shrimp to fried oysters and lobster linguine, you won’t want to miss what this place can offer. It even commands a respectful wine list to wash it all down.

2: Fortunato al Pantheon

A favorite of politicians and local starlets, Fortunato al Pantheon is a luxurious taste of the high life. The food is five-star Italian, the staff are courteous and professional, and with candles and white silk tablecloths, the atmosphere is simply unbeatable. The luxury comes at a price but even if it is slightly out of budget, I’d quite happily take out several cash loans to eat here again.  If you’re looking to pamper yourself with an unforgettable night in Rome, this is the restaurant for the job!

1: Vascello

High in the hills of Rome, Vascello lives up to the scenery by providing both a great meal and a one-of-a-kind experience for any visitor. Take your pick of tables, indoor or out, and enjoy wine and appetizers until the main course, which could be anything from lemon zest ravioli to spaghetti with sheep cheese and black pepper. The sky is the limit when it comes to Vascello – just look out its windows and see.

Rome is a beautiful place to spend your vacation whether for the whole family or just you and your other half. It is a place that is rich in culture and with many warm and friendly natives awaiting you, you will definitely have a splendid time if you choose to make it your next vacation spot.  To help you make the decision of whether to go to Rome on vacation or not here are some things you can do while there;

  1. Visit the Vatican City. You could say that this city is almost like another state by itself. It is one of the most visited places in Rome and is home to the Papacy. Here you will find a lot to see where the Catholic Church and its history are concerned as well as countless beautiful pieces of Catholic Art.
  2. Visit the Pantheon; a historical Roman site where time seems to have stopped.
  3. Take a walk along the Forum. This also has a deep historical background and its setting has remained pretty much undisturbed giving you that ancient Rome feeling as you walk through.
  4. Visit the Colosseum. This is where gladiators had their fighting matches which you will find in a pretty untouched state.
  5. Ensure you eat a Roman meal.  Get your fair share of authentic Roman cuisine even if just for one meal out of your entire trip. You can take along a flex belt just in case you find you love the food too much. Here is a flex belt coupon that could come in handy prior to your trip.
  6. Do some shopping. Many times when we go on vacation we only purchase little nick knacks to take back home as souvenirs. When you are in Rome break this tradition and purchase some fresh fruits and vegetables that are native to Rome. Purchase clothing items and other things that will help you live the Roman lifestyle. You will find this to be a very scintillating activity.
  7. Rent a moped for moving around the city. This is a great way for you to check out Rome at your own pace and leisure and a great way to take part in core Roman activities.
