A Culinary Conquest: What to Eat in Rome, Italy
"It doesn’t get more British than this institution that has been going since 1893. Founded by two young women, the current owners are the great grandchildren of one of them, keeping the business authentically family-run for over a century!. Since its opening, it has moved to the fashionable Spanish Steps area, and its elegant interiors and service match the district’s taste for high-quality products."
"Babington’s make their own English muffins – for their perfectly-made eggs Benedict – and the salmon they use is imported directly from Scotland. If your children like cakes in the morning, this is the place to go. The strawberry cheesecakes might make you want to start baking once you’re all back home!"
"The Regoli family opened their business in Rome in 1916 — at the time, they were recently arrived Tuscan charcoal makers — and transformed their small operation into one of the city’s most beloved pastry shops. The display cases are packed with cakes, wild strawberry tarts, maritozzi (whipped cream-filled buns), and seasonal treats like bignè in late winter, colombe at Easter, and pandoro at Christmas. Have pastries packaged to take away, or order at the counter and the kitchen will send the items to your table at the neighboring Caffé Regoli."
"There’s something to be said for longevity—Pasticceria Regoli recently celebrated its 100th anniversary, so dolce afficionados should be sure to stop by to taste a piece of Roman history. The bakery opened in 1916, and they pride themselves on using traditional recipes to make classic desserts. Don’t miss the crostatine con fragoline, a pastry filled with Chantilly cream and tiny wild strawberries."
"Strawberry tiramisu and hazelnut tiramisu from Bar Pompi|Courtesy of Marianna Hunt. For those with a sweet tooth, a visit to Bar Pompi should be on the cards in order to taste one of Rome’s most famous desserts: the tiramisu. Diners come from all corners of the globe to admire the creamy deliciousness of Bar Pompi’s take on the delicacy, which comes in multiple flavors including pistachio, hazelnut, and strawberry."
"If you ever will ask an Italian where you can try the best Tiramisu in Italy, he will probably get offended and reply that there is no better Tiramisu than that of his Nonna (granny). Soon after his choice will definitely fall on Pompi. Pompi is an all beloved Italian chain of confectionery that offers a variety of tiramisu choices."
"Pompi has consistently made the best tiramisu in Rome for decades. If you happen to eat lunch or dinner near here, skip dolce and have it here. If you ask someone local to Rome where to get the best Tiramisù, 9 times out of 10 they are going to say Pompi without hesitating."

"A self-proclaimed “culinary laboratory,” Bocca di Dama’s brunch menu features American favorites (pancakes dusted with powdered sugar anyone?) but also a twist on classic Italian fare. Their artichoke lasagna and savory pumpkin and radicchio pie are superb. Via dei Marsi 4Tel 06 443 41154Saturday-Sunday (12:30-3:30 pm)"
"The Venanzo Crocetti Museum is an art museum in Rome that highlights the work of Italian artist and sculptor Venanzo Crocetti. The museum's collection contains more than one hundred different marbles, bronzes, paintings, documents, and paper work that spans a 68-year period from 1930 through 1998. The museum also houses temporary traveling exhibits."
"The name (Ma va? stands for – Really? Seriously?) was a guaranteed success. In fact, this cozy vegan restaurant is a safe haven for every Roman who loves greens. Close to the Vatican Museum, it has an open-view kitchen where you can see the preparation of the dishes."
"This cute little restaurant offers vegan and vegetarian options for those who still want to experience the taste and intensity of Roman dishes. For example, you might have heard of coda alla vaccinara, but never experienced its’ rich flavor."
"This amusingly named vegan eatery (it means “You’re kidding?”) is near the Vatican. It’s as traditional Roman grub as you can get without animal products, albeit it is a little small so booking is essential."
"One of the most playful eateries in town, is a successful new vegan burger chain born in Milan in 2015. It has recently expanded to Rome and boasts two locations in the city, including one located conveniently near the Vatican Museums.
