Rome can be called a \u2018museum city\u2019 preserving millenniums-old ruins, incredible artefacts, gorgeous artworks, and cultural traditions. But a trip to the Eternal City is as much about its delicious and wholesome cuisine as it is about its great antiquities. There are several dining places that combine the beauty of Rome\u2019s treasures with the flavours of authentic Italian food. These restaurants allow guests to savour tasty food, divine views, and summery weather, ensuring dining experiences worth admiring and remembering.<\/span><\/p>\n

Street-side Trattorias<\/span><\/h3>\n

Strolling through the alleys you\u2019ll come across plenty of eateries where tables are placed haphazardly on the street; the setting is chaotic, the air can at times be smoky and conversations are routinely interrupted by street-vendors and noisy scooters. Most piazzas are packed with this type of tourist-trap restaurants where the food is pricey but doesn\u2019t feel special.<\/span><\/p>\n

That being said, there are some places that mix local ambiance with genuine Italian cooking really well. These are good spots for people-watching and soaking in the quaint beauty of Roman streets. Settimio All\u2019Arancio<\/strong> near the Spanish Steps is one such trattoria that offers superb Roman cuisine and an eclectic wine list enjoyed in a lovely outside seating flanked by green shrubs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Da Teo<\/strong>, a hidden gem in Trastevere, draws patrons for its delightful food and tranquil, open-air ambiance; another good eatery right in the centre of Trastevere is Antica Trattoria Da Carlone <\/strong>with pretty al fresco tables. Da Augusto<\/strong>, a humble food joint, serves the perfect pasta and has open-air tables surrounded by modern graffiti and mopeds, allowing you to fully experience the charming Trastevere vibe. Most of these places have a local clientele for their no-nonsense food, traditional recipes, and pleasant, friendly atmosphere; you just need to stray a little from tourist trails to enjoy these places.<\/span><\/p>\n

Feasting on the Tiber<\/span><\/h3>\n

Want a break from the bustling roads of the Eternal City? How about a delectable dining experience right on the Tiber backdropped by scenic river-views of the ancient city?
