da Francesco - €
Piazza del Fico 29
Piazza Navona
I think that this is the restaurant that most people imagine when they think of Rome - a traditional trattoria/pizzeria tucked away in a gorgeous small piazza near Piazza Navona. da Francesco serves up absolutely delicious Roman cuisine - try their hand cut proscuitto with foccacia as a starter, then any of the meat dishes are sensational. The steak is particularly good and any of the pasta dishes... order from the specials board on the wall rather than menu...
Baffetto - €
via Governo Vecchio 114
Piazza Navona
Famous pizzeria in Rome, often with queues waiting for tables, you're likely to be sitting with strangers at a large table, which although disconcerting for a minute, it's a lot of fun and the thin crust Roman Pizza is delicious. A wonderful Rome experience.
Sant'Eustachio Cafe - €€
Piazza Sant'Eustachio
Pantheon
A block away from the Pantheon is Rome's best coffee, Romans crowd into this landmark cafe for what is probably the best coffee in town, try their famous grand cafe, a great place for gifts to take back home.

Piazza Navona
One of Rome's most beautiful cafes, a perfect place to sit sipping a drink alone with a newspaper on a cold rainy day in winter - or - in summer to sit outside in the sunshine.
Montecarlo - Pizzeria - €
vicolo Savelli
Piazza Navona
The best thin crust Roman pizza available and everybody knows it! Don't get there after 8pm unless you are happy to wait for a table with the other 20-30 people, the wait is never too long - they don't serve coffee to linger over after you've eaten and will very nicely remind you that there are others waiting to eat. Don't miss this one!!!
