Without looking at comments I thought some of the suggestions were weird, especially that most places will have a line, that sounds like tourist trap, even the ice cream place

Oh boy...ate at both Tonnarello and Canonica...both mediocre Italian restaurants compared to what you get in a major city in North America. Thank God Rome is stunning and has so much to it, but food ain't it.

00:00 - 00:58 Where to eat in Rome
my parents invited my husband and me for a suprise visit to rome. NEXT WEEK... can' wait.... does one have to reserve a table really for normal dinner?
00:59 - 03:32 Trastevere: Tonnarello & Trapizzino
03:33 - 04:50 Frigidarium & Two Sizes
Lived in Rome and no local goes to Tonnarello.
04:51 - 05:45 Pastificio Guerra
05:46 - 06:55 All’Antico Vinaio & Caffe Tazza D`Oro
There's a family owned Gelato place on the main drag, fronting the piazza Vittorio Emanuele that has been there since before WWII. It is simply incredible. There's an old letter, framed on the wall from a U.S. General in the war stating that the place is off limits to enlisted men, officers only. I was there in January, cold weather but just couldn't pass it up...life is too short not to eat Gelato that good.
06:56 - 07:44 Pizza Florida & Pinsa Mpo
07:45 - 08:28 Prosciutteria Cantina dei Papi & Fuorinorma
A Roma a circa 15 euro (a pranzo) si può mangiare bene. Primo, secondo contorno e acqua.
Volendo anche a 10/12 euro, stessa disposizione.
Qualità più che buona.

More User Perspectives
La Canonica is marvellous ❤️
@TolbinyI think u did a great job. Ignore all these haters ! My husband I will be in Rome next month for the first time. I cannot wait ! I’m sure all these places are amazing !!!
@Johanna-qf1yxThese places are all tourist traps
@doreen.linderI completely agree with the previous reviewers. I visited Tonnarello Maggiore today and the experience was strikingly similar. The carbonara was weak and lacked the bold, intense flavor you expect from this Roman classic. While the fat in the guanciale seemed properly rendered at first, the meat felt like it had been simmered or boiled in the sauce for too long, resulting in a soft, soggy texture instead of a crispy one. Compared to local benchmarks like Luzzi or Pastificio Guerra, this was a poor showing. It feels like they are prioritizing volume over the technical details that make a great pasta.
@jakubb000I will be in Rome from 4 days in Early April. Thanks for the video. Hows the weather be like? Thanks
@matsharmayou lost me at Tonnarello - Went there on our first night in Rome, Lovely location but the food was absolutely terrible. Bland and stodgey
@markelliott7641Tonnarello 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@djinibhugwansing7467👎👎americani e inglesi hanno una cultura, conoscenza e competenza economina pari a zero.
@darcro2637Fake italian accent and tourist trap restaurants
@derekr1113👎👎👎touristes touristes touristes go home go home go home go home!!!!
@darcro2637Another touristic video for turist Who thing to behave not as a such…, done by a non roman.
And they all talk about the same places.
Just look at those Lines of People: all turists!
Trastevere nowadays is like Hollywood
Piazza Navona too.
I stopped there but let me suggest: Campo de fiori, Piazza di Spagna, Pantheon etc.
I can Guess the different places reccomended.
You suggest just tourist traps, starting from pasta to ice cream 😂😂😂
Chicken!!! Ahahahah
My tip. Eat at Tonnarello on the first night in Rome. You may want to go again on the last night. I did.
@ccordray4The video shows people sitting and eating on the Spanish Steps which seems to suggest that folks can do that. They can’t. Since 2019 it’s strictly prohibited and carries a fine of €250, which can increase to €400 if the monument is dirtied or damaged. Your video should include that information.
@kathyholland8275I’m going to Rome on Wednesday! First time!! So excited
@thatgirlliza8023Off, why are you suggesting Tonnarello? Biggest tourist trap in Rome. Lines? Stay away. They only want your'e money. The neary 100.000 ratings, are generated by the restaurant tell the customer to rate. To get even more people in there. I go somewhere else.
