EAT

Pierluigi

“You’ll find the freshest fish in all of Rome at Pierluigi. Menu highlights include the tagliolini with Mediterranean lobster and the branzino with clams, saffron and a potato mille-feuille.”

EAT

Da Enzo Al 29

“This famed trattoria in the Trastevere neighbourhood does classic Roman dishes right. Among them are glossy carbonara, deep-fried artichokes and polpette (meatballs in red sauce, for the uninitiated).”

EAT

Piperno

“Set in an intimate square in the centre of town is Piperno, an old-school trattoria with tons of charm. Everything is divine here — fresh, hand-rolled pastas, stuffed zucchini flowers — but the house specialty (and must-order dish) is a sumptuous fried artichoke.”

DRINK

Salotto42

“There’s a laid back feeI to Salotto42, a cocktail bar in the centre of Rome. People just order drinks, and stand around smoking and chatting. A must-visit spot for cool vibes.”

DRINK

Zuma

“Zuma is a Japanese hotspot that opened up in Palazzo Fendi. The major draw? A rooftop seat to enjoy an aperitivo with next-level views of the city.”

Il Gocetto

“Aperitivo is a way of life in Rome. One my favourite spots—that’s also beloved by locals—is Il Gocetto, one of Rome’s oldest wine shops with more than 800 bottles on offer.”

Villa Borghese Gardens

“Adjacent to Galleria Nazionalle is this sprawling green space that’s often compared to Central Park. If you have kids in tow, rent one of its four-person bikes to peruse the nearly 200 acres.”

Giolitti

“You might have heard: gelato is a bonafide Roman pastime. This gelateria is one of the oldest in the city, having been passed down through three generations."
