Pierluigi
One of our favorite restaurants with the best fish in all of Rome! On a beautiful night you can sit outside in the charming piazza and enjoy a delicious meal!
Ba Ghetto (Kosher)
One of our favorite kosher restaurants in the Jewish ghetto! Janine’s favorite dish is the pappardelle with lamb ragu and Lee loves the Carbonara. Of course if you’re in the Jewish ghetto though you have to try the famous Carciofi all Giudia (Jewish artichokes)!
For a kosher dairy restaurant option, try Ba Ghetto’s sister restaurant for the most delicious cacio é pepe and four cheese pasta.
Renato Al Ghetto (kosher)
One of the newest Kosher restaurants in the Ghetto, Renato has gained a lot of popularity amongst local eaters due to the seamless combination of Italian flavours and great family traditions.

Armando Al Pantheon
The search for the perfect, family-run Roman trattoria ends here. And the fact that Armando is right next to the Pantheon, in the heart of the centro storico, is the icing on the cake.
Due Ladroni
A perfect blend of elegance and tradition, Due Ladroni is the ideal place to fully enjoy the experience of the warm Roman tradition, a fully-qualified staff and a wide choice of delicacies and fine wine labels.
NiNo
NiNo's cooking represents Tuscan traditions naturalized in Rome: the Tuscan specialties blend with exquisite harmony with those of a typical Roman cuisine.

Good to know before you go
1. Bring converters to charge your phones, electronics, blow dryers, etc. The cheapest and easiest option is to purchase one on Amazon before you go.
2. If you need to take out money while over there then use an ATM with a debit card and not a bank. Also, some credit cards wave transfer fees so it could be helpful to look into that beforehand.
3. Keep an eye on your things (as always, in any big city). In crowded settings like the metro and the main tourist places, always keep your purse close, phone out of your back pocket, and stay aware of your surroundings.
4. Walk as much as you can when in Rome - mainly because it's beautiful and it's the best way to see the city, but also because Rome is perfect for walking.
5. What to wear when exploring the city - we recommend wearing a pair of sneakers during the day! They will keep you comfortable all day long.
6. Both Taxis and Ubers are great options to move around Rome. For airport transfers, the easiest and cheapest way to get to your hotel/Airbnb will most likely be a taxi. Or, you can ask the hotel to arrange a car service which will only cost a little bit more.
