Felice a Testaccio

Felice a Testaccio is an esteemed trattoria that has been serving original Roman cuisine since 1936. The unpretentious, exposed brick interior is filled with locals, a good sign of its reputation. All the pasta and meat dishes are worth trying, but most people come for the cacio e pepe. Finish with the tiramisu, topped with melted chocolate, for a sweet note to the meal.

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.

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.
