    My first stop in Rome! Lots of food options to select from. A really great introduction to all the…read morestaples in Rome. Two places that stood out: - Trapizzino (cone shaped bread with filling inside) I got the meatball one and was so good, the bread was also so fresh! - Truffle pasta from Savini Tartufi (a bit pricey at 22 euro) the pasta and flavour was exactly as I imagined it to be, it was worth the money! Also got a slice of pizza, artichoke, and a sandwich that were all pretty good as well! Do NOT get pasta from La Pasta Fresca. I got the carbonara that's supposedly "fresh" but I am convinced it was not. The pasta was so hard and way too salty. After a few days in Rome, I can confirm this is probably the worst pasta I have had. There are washrooms in the back of the market. Along with table service for coffee and drinks. We were a group of 6 and took a round to find a table but it was not too hard to find. All the vendors we went to accepted credit card.

    Another outpost in the Gabriele Bonci pizzempire. And same great quality. Pizza al taglia (by the…read morepiece) cut to order. Pizzas of 20 varieties at a time with more coming out every few minutes. We love them all, even the potato chip one! They also have a nice selection of pastries and cookies but we didn't try those. The Mercato Centrale is a fantastic addition to the neighborhood and the train traveling experience with other great vendors there as well. It's a wonderful foodie food court including the equally splendid Trapazzino which is another place to try if you still have room after Bonci.

    A yes! Testacio! who does not love this party neighborhood!…read moreLast time i went here was back in 2012!! but hey i went to this place like twice a month so i can still review it! This is not like the American version of Chinese food, they have to improvise on a lot of things. That being said the food is still good and edible. The waiters did not speak English only Italian so this gives you an idea of how this part of town is not touristy at all. They still manage to communicate with us on what we want to order. A couple of times i been here with my friends and someone just pointed to what someone was eating to the table next to us and the waiter knew that's what we wanted haha good times. In terms of staff they all were friendly even tho we did not understand 90% of what they said. The restaurant was clean and they did not let those annoying street vendors in, you know the ones selling light up roses or some robot toy etc. There are a lot of restaurants in the touristy areas that WILL let those guys in but many do not and this is one of them. So if you want to eat your meal in peace this would be one of them. For sure try it and you will experience this American favorite in a whole new light.

    If you're sick of pasta and pizza I would definitely come here! The food is cheap and they have a…read morehuge menu that includes Chinese, Japanese, Thai and some Italian. The waiters at first weren't that welcoming but I think it was because they couldn't really speak English as they spoke Italian and mandarin. However once we spoke to them in mandarin they were more than willing to converse and help us out. If you do speak in English they do have some waiters that are able to communicate some words to try and help you out. Traveling through Europe there aren't that many places where we could find vegetables so coming to get what we were craving was great. I would recommend the pan fried dumplings, the beef and vegetables and some other Chinese hot plates. I had my doubts in the beginning and wasn't really planning to come here but I was pleasantly surprised and would definitely come again if I was ever in Rome and craving Chinese.

    Full disclosure, any time you dine at a place in a major touristy area you should expect that it…read morecan be a tourist trap. I was fully aware that dining in Piazza Navona would automatically assign such a label to our meal. I'm a tourist. Whatever. That being said, we had a wonderful meal here at Camillo a Piazza Navona. This is probably the best meal you can find in Piazza Navona. It's certainly the best rated restaurant in the square (I checked). The ambiance can't be beat. Sitting outside in one of the most famous squares in Rome is a dream of many. The food is actually really good. We had calamari, focaccia with ricotta, olives and tomatoes, and caprese salad. Everything was tasty! Our entire group of four veered away from Roman classics for dinner and opted for the bolognese. I'm perfectly aware that you "shouldn't order" other regional dishes but we were in the mood and quite frankly it was delicious! A couple folks in our group had limoncello spritzes and said they really loved them here (more than another restaurant we tried later in the week). I had a hugo spritz and honestly it was my least favorite. It was way too heavy on the lime and I couldn't even taste the elderflower. Aside from my subpar cocktail, the rest of the meal was very satisfying. If you want to enjoy a VERY GOOD meal sitting outside in Piazza Navona, this is the spot to go to.

    Yes it is touristy but you can't knock the view and experience sitting along the Piazza Navona…read more Table turnover is the name of the game here so expect fast and efficient service. We just wanted a bite and a few cocktails and Camillo fit the bill. The bruschetta mortadella e burrata was a solid choice. Expect higher prices given the location but not a bad place to soak in the magic of Rome.
