Trattoria Da Cesare al Casaletto

Trattoria Da Cesare al Casaletto

Trattoria Da Cesare al Casaletto is a Roman trattoria worth the short trip out of the centre, especially for anyone serious about classic cucina romana. The menu keeps things straightforward: fritti done properly, carbonara, gricia, and rigatoni with oxtail sauce that regulars swear by. Inside is plain and functional, while outside tables sit under a vine-covered patio that fills quickly at lunch. The wine list is deeper than expected, and the crowd is largely local, which says most of what needs saying.

Roscioli

Roscioli

Roscioli is a Roman institution that blurs the line between shop and restaurant, with three closely set spaces devoted to bakery, deli, and dining. The restaurant is where everything comes together: Roman classics tweaked just enough to stand out, exceptional pasta, and plates built around the same cured meats and cheeses on display next door. The wine list is serious and deep, with more than 2800 labels available. Getting a table takes effort, but once seated, it’s easy to see why people bother.

Reserva Restaurante y Cocteles

Reserva Restaurante y Cocteles

Opened in 2019, Reserva is one of Rome’s latest gems and serves Latin cuisine with a hint of Caribbean vibe. The menu moves between ceviche, tacos and tartares, more playful dishes like shrimp with passion fruit or crispy tapioca, and bigger plates such as picanha, all shaped by Brazilian-born chef Paulo Aires. Cocktails matter here as much as the food, mixed at the long bar upfront and often built around cachaça, mezcal and tropical fruit. Warm colours, marble details and plenty of plants give the room its character, making it a good place for a slower dinner that drifts into drinks.
