Brilliant perfect guide as always and always trust where a Roman eats.
@romewise Does anyone have a restaurant suggestion to eat at in November. I'm celebrating my Birthday and would like to know if they do anything special when you celebrate your birthday. Please no tourist locations.
Headed to Roma tomorrow from Caserta! Not going near Colesium this trip. Mostly doing Vatican Museums.
Just returned from Rome two days ago. Stayed off the beaten path near Piazza Bologna, local neighbourhood with plenty of good restaurant’s and bars. A 7 day metro ticket was 24 Euro and the metro system was so easy to use. 10 minutes by metro to the Colleseo station and others. Would definitely do this again. Allowed us to see the sights and escape the crowds at day’s end while giving a taste of a local neighborhood. My Italian is minimal, but sufficient to communicate with many non english speakers in the Piazza Bologna neighborhood. Most restaurants/bars did have some english speaking staff.
I love Rome. I love food. I love your videos on Roman food! Thanks Elyssa!
Super helpful 🎉
This is the one we've been waiting for! Thanks Elyssa. Our concierge recommended great Italian in Travestere near Tiber but too long ago to remember.
Awesome! Another video worth its weight in gold. Thank you!
Great.
Thank you so much Alyssa. Are there any good economical gluten free restaurants in Rome. My husband has celiac . Much appreciated.
Once again, I wish I had discovered your most helpful channel prior to my 2023 visit to Rome. Still, I enjoy your videos and should I get to return to Italy I will go through your channel and take notes in preparation.
I was taking notes on this one! Heading to Rome in 4 weeks
Can’t wait to try some of these spots in October!
You made me hungry! 😋 Another great video, full of valuable information 👍🏻
Thanks for your videos. I found them just before my trip to Rome. I was there for March April and May. If you don’t mind me saying so, I found the food in Rome , right across the board to be horrific. $15 for a cup of over salty undercooked pasta. A salad? Add another $15. I tried tourist traps. I tried trendy high end. I tried little hole in the walls. I tried every kind of restaurant I could find. I’m very disappointed in the food in Rome and I had plenty of opportunity. The italian is MUCH better in America. Esp in NY and NJ.
Will be in Rome next week. Hope to bump into you. 😊
Thanks so much! Will be in beloved Roma in two days!
Will be in Rome in 3 weeks, staying in Monti, so excited to hear about a Gelateria with mint chocolate chip gelato! I’ll definitely be making a stop there.
I was literally looking at the menu for I Clementini when you mentioned it. 😂 We will be staying at the Mecure. Then you mentioned Monti… I just saved Monti😂
I’ve always been pleased with the food and service at I Clementini, beside the Basilica San Clemente. Small, intimate,and good value!
Absolutely amazing content! So truly informative, I love it! Thank you!!
Thank you very much, Elyssa. Love your channel. Very practical. Great suggestions about restaurants, but our problem is, that my husband is on gluten free diet. Could you recommend some restaurants with gluten free menu.
It would have been much appreciated if you would have made a map of all these places. Otherwise I just go to a different YouTube that shows maps I can screen shot and have it to look at when in Rome.
It's great that the Antica Gelateria de Matteis and Pizzeria di Sforza Piero are right across the street from each other – very convenient. 🙂
We stayed in Monti on our last trip this past February. Loved it. Lots of good restaurants for sure. Next visit we will have to check out some of you recommendations. Thanks Elyssa
My husband & I had a romantic & fabulous evening at The Court bar; the view & the ambiance is well worth the price. Yes, book as far in advance as possible. As always, love all your suggestions. Your content makes us want to return to Italy now! We watched your videos before our return to Rome/Florence🥰
Elyssa, you never disappoint me with your wonderful, informative videos and your lovely presentation style. We like staying in Monti and will try some of your recommendations in the neighborhood when we are there in a couple of weeks. By the way, you look so beautiful in this video.
Your videos are so helpful and fun to watch. And you always look great. 😊 How fun to live near the Colosseo and be married to a Roman!
(Monti is my favorite area)
👏
Hello! I loved watching your videos preparing us for our trip to Italia. Thanks to you and this video, my husband and I just enjoyed pizza from Pizzeria di Sforza Piero and gelato from just down the same street! Great suggestions and felt like we ate where locals eat. Grazie Mille!
Another great content. Thanks Elyssa! Please make a video or reels where we can go to a grocery stores and what snacks needs to bring home 😂
Thank you for the wonderful suggestions. I want to ask if I can avail an elevator for my mother? She has mobility issues but doesn’t use a wheelchair. Will she be granted access?
Ate at Er Baretto last week and can really vouch for it. It was amazing! ☕️🍕
The funny thing about pizza in Italy is I discovered that it is kind of a rediscovered food in Italy.
Alyssa, thank you for the recommendations for the eateries but in particular the rooftop lounges!
Great video!!
Superb superb. Elyssa. I cannot thank you enough to putting these information out for travellers like me who have been planning rome for last 5 years. We were just about the book our tickets to Italy from 14th March to 31st march. And I just saw some posts on Facebook on jubilee year 2025. Would it be fine to go during these dates. Rome we would be 14th and 19th March. Your advise on what is to be expected in terms of crowds vs normal year.
Excellent information, as always ❤
Any restaurants near Piazza Navona you would recommend ? Staying 4 minutes away and looking for restaurants that are local etc
Thanks so much, Elyssa, for another very relevant video 🙂. I'll be visting Colosseum at 3PM, and before that I'm planning to visit Altare della Patria, Piazza del Campidoglio, eat something and go to Roman Forum and Palatine Hill and finaly to Colosseum, a pretty tight schedule. So I'm wondering how long it takes to have a pizza or a meal at one of your recomended Pizzerias or Trattorias. I suppose I won't have more than 50 minutes to eat something. What do you think?
Very interesting! I was tempted to skip over the breakfast part, because we usually have breakfast before heading out, like we did in Paris last summer (I can still taste those croissants from L'Artisan des Gourmands on rue de la Convention near the Airbnb we were staying at).
As for toutrist traps, I've heard that if there is salt and pepper on the table, you may have ended up in one.
I pretty much saved almost all of the locations (love a good gelato, best one here in Montreal is at La Bella Italiana), but unfortunately, we will be in Rome from a Monday to a Saturday (leaving in the AM for Naples with Italo), so we won't be able to visit that market.
