Restaurants

Just like great art, exceptional cuisine is also a representation of Italian excellence, and there's no place better than the capital to discover it and experience it. In Rome restaurants, you can try the thousands of delicious dishes which have made the Mediterranean diet famous around the world: pizzerias, pasta restaurants, trattorias and inns are just some of the places where you can go on an exploration of flavours, scents and food and wine pleasures.

Eating in the best restaurants in Rome, such as the ones that the experts of Avventure Bellissime will recommend, does not only mean experiencing Italian food; it also means understanding the important moments and great history of the capital. In the Alfredo alla Scrofa restaurant, for example, you'll get to experience the roaring 60s.  On the walls in the corridors, photographs of great Hollywood actors who have eaten Alfredo's fettuccine and homemade pasta, greet the visitors who come from all over the world to try Rigatoni alla Rigore (a variation of Amatriciana) and other traditional dishes of Roman cuisine.

On the tables of the Pancotto Restaurant near Piazza Navona, it is possible to observe Roman nights come to life in the so-called "entertainment triangle" while eating specialities such as parmigiana and the chef's ravioli.
