Want to go. Via Michele Groppi.
Coffee place, famous mini panini. Via Giulio
Great breakfast, cornetto and caffe style. Gelato looks good too.
Wonderful bakery and focaccia spot. Unfortunately also now host to hoards of American tourists.
Bakery spinoff of salumeria Roscioli around the corner. Great pasteries, cakes, and pizzette. I drooled walking by the window. Go hungry and with friends so you can share all you bought.
If you're hankering for craft beer...
Nice cafe above a cloister designed by Bramante. Sit on the upper level and look down upon the visitors below and the Roman sky above.
"Know thyself" #remarkable mosaics and tombstones
Nice botanical gardens. Cool place for a walk. Has an organic cafe inside with light food and popsicles.
Incredible selection of beers. All nations.
Amazing Roman Classics, Carbonara deep in flavor, Cacio e Pepe perfectly al dente, tender tripe
Want to go, classic osteria
Amaaaaaaazing parmigiana di melanzane with honey and walnuts.
Good ice cream from a popup-like space with the front half of a vanagon inside. Interesting "Persian" flavor: milk, rose infusion, cardamom, and pistachio.
Cocktails and stuzzichini in a nice bar that faces onto Piazza della Pietra, a roman wall & columns.
Awesome salumeria and restaurant. Private dining room in the underground wine cellar is bookable.
Good coffee if you are near the train station.
Wonderful osteria. The cacio e pepe is a classic. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/22/travel/22choice.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0
Go here for lunch for an excellent sampling of classic Roman dishes. Try the rabbit.
12-5pm 9euro all you can eat Italian buffet. Mozzarella, prosciutto, insalate, carciofi, etc. etc. Cool bookstorey kind of space. Good for a quick snack too.
