RESTAURANT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ROME

What are some good inexpensive to moderate restaurants in Rome? They don't need to be fancy, just good!

Hello Richard, below is a portion of my LONG posting from June 1998 from our trip to Italy in May: RESTAURANTS: All our meals were great. We averaged $40 for a full meal and a bottle of house wine. Best meals were in Naples, although the pizza in Milan was excellent (the cook must have been from Naples). ROME: "Osteria ar Galletto," Piazza Farnese, 102; tel: 06-686-1714; recommended by Cheap Eats in Italy. Very good meal. "La Fraschetta," Via S. Agnese in Agone, 21, Piazza Navona; tele: 06/688-06806; "Pizza Fantasy," Via di Pietra, 85, tele: 67-80-973. I really liked the restaurant recommended by Cheap Eats, so you may want to buy the book, or at least take some notes at a bookstore (such as Borders or Barnes and Nobles). Have a GREAT time!

I went to Rome in June 1997 and stayed in Capi Flori (sp?) close to Plazzo Navarone (sp? Not a great speller nor remembering. Hope you get it if you are familiar with Rome map. Anyway there were more than twenty restaurants around my hotel. I tried about ten of them and they all were wonderful and cheap....at my time, maybe around $10. which was most reasonable price for a dinner..and even lunch. Very few times, I went for their pizza slices at fast restaurants which were wonderful as well. Try their ice cream! That is a BIG MUST. Best ice cream I have ever had...better than Americans'. Most ice cream would be selling at booth or ice cream shops. Plazzo Navarone has some like that. Have Fun!

Our favorite little neighborhood restaurant is Ristorante Abruzzi, 1 via Vaccaro ... at the end of Piazza Santi Apostoli just off of the Piazza Venezia, just over near Trajan's column. Cannelloni Abruzzi is the house specialty but you must get there early to get some. More restaurants, ours and others, at http://twenj.com/romerests.htm Ed

I agree with the earlier posting about the Cheap Eats book - it was invaluable. It gives full descriptions about pizzerias, gelaterias, trattorias, etc. We ate outside at Ostaria da Nerbone quite near the Coliseum in Rome (reserve a table); it was wonderful and quite reasonably priced with a view of the Coliseum.

Rome, itself has about 500 resturants. And there was about twenty resturants around my hotel in Capi Flora. I tried ten out of those. All were wonderful in their own ways. I also tried two in Piazzano Navorona (Sp?) and both were wonderful as well. Recommand to try ice cream which was the best one I have ever had....still curve it.

Have fun!

I second Ed's favorite Restaurant Abruzzi. Little difficult to find, but well worth it. We were recommended this restaurant by my brother-in-law who studied in Rome for 4 years, and it was his favorite. He was right.
