There is a huge variety of restaurants in Rome, open for lunch, dinner, aperitivo and, most importantly, for all tastes and all budgets.

In the historic center of Rome lots of typical Trattorias can be found which serve traditional Roman dishes, such as Tripe, Coda alla Vaccinara (oxtail stew), as well as all different kinds of Roman pasta dishes: Carbonara, Cacio e Pepe, Amatriciana and many more.

Of course there are also many other restaurants that will satisfy specific desires. For those who don’t eat meat there are fantastic restaurants for vegetarians, as well as restaurants for the gluten-intolerant, and for pasta or fish lovers.
