Rome runs on neighbourhood loyalty
Romans rarely cross the city for a coffee. The bar downstairs, the pizza al taglio near the office, the mechanic who has kept the family scooter running for years: life here is lived in the rione. Our guide follows the same instinct, from the market in Testaccio to the quieter streets of Monteverde.
Before choosing
Our editorial approach
Our editors research each category across the whole city, favour places whose reputation has lasted well beyond a single season, check every detail and keep the lists current all year, August included.
