From an American: I came to Rome as the last leg of my trip to explore the history, but also to get…read morea taste of the local cuisine. This can be very difficult to do when traveling in any touristy city, and especially in Rome. I passed this restaurant/farmers market earlier in the day and noticed there were no signs/menus in English. There was nobody hustling me to come in and sit down. There was only one woman, who I believe is the owner, that speaks limited English but was very kind. I thought eureka, this is the place! Finally, after having tried dozens of restaurants throughout Italy, I found my favorite and most authentic Italian food (my limited knowledge leads me to believe it is native to this region). I came in for €10 Aperitivo around 17:30. The owner gave me a delectable plate of eggplant lasagna, sautéed greens and grilled vegetables, with a bread puff filled with vegetable pieces similar to the consistency of a hush puppy. I was floored. If you're looking to get a taste of local Italian cuisine while in Rome, this is the place. Could not have been more satisfied after trying Carbonara, Gnocchi, and pizza dishes cooked by foreigners and being subsequently begged to leave a tip which is not customary in Italian culture cuisine. I've said what I needed to say. Enjoy!

The pomegranate fizzing drink I enjoyed here while waiting for a nearby restaurant to open was more noteworthy. Seemed to be translated in the French to the worrying sounding 'grenade'

There's only a few seats (bar stools) available, but we came here in the early evening and had no problem grabbing two. This is definitely a local's spot tucked away on a quaint street in Trastevere. The owner is so friendly, he even explained the dishes of the day in English for us. It should be noted that they change their menu everyday, and it consists of mostly vegetarian and vegan options. It's locally sourced ingredients, and the chef creates the dishes based on the season's vegetables. There's also various local organic cheeses you can buy. We had several types of dishes: the artichoke and carrot lasagne, the herb and spinach balls, the spinach quiche, and freshly squeezed juices with different vegetables and fruits. We also tried the vegan chocolate and pear muffin it was fantastic and so fresh! There's also wine and beer, this place is just wonderful - will definitely be back before we leave!

Do you love shopping in local grocery stores? I do!…read more Pam Local was a great stop for our family on a trip to Italy. Need a drink, a snack, some pesto or pasta to bring back home, this is the place to shop. Nice to be able to pick up very local spices, small jars of jams and honey, pesto and bags of small cookies. They carry sized that are airplane compliant. Make sure to bring a bag if you have one. Or you can purchase a shopping bag there. Prices are very reasonable. A bottle of cold Pellegrino was just €.50. So refreshing on a hot summer day. Or you can fill up your water bottle at the water fountains in Rome. The water is safe to drink.

Easy to spend time just browsing the aisles. The prices are insanely good. Local Italian wines, salami, snacks -- you can grab a lot here without spending much. I picked up a bottle of Montepulciano, some coppa, Nutella, and a few other things. Definitely stop in, fill your backpack with goodies, and you'll have snacks for your room, easy light lunches on the go, and be very happy. A great stop if you're nearby -- even just to explore and pick up a few things. You'll leave excited..
