Arguments about Rome, built off the same sourced entries as the list. Each one names rooms and says why they are in it. The venue pages have the prices and the sources behind them.
- Testaccio, Garbatella and the quarters out east
For visitorsBeen beforeFor locals12 rooms
Testaccio is where the Roman kitchen is densest and it is fifteen minutes from the centre. Everything after it, Ostiense, Garbatella, Appio-Latino, San Lorenzo and Centocelle, is where the cooks who changed this city in the last decade actually opened, and the tram and the metro reach all of it. This is one long arc out from the market, in the order the rooms make sense.
- Three days in Rome around a conference
For visitorsEating aloneBeen before21 rooms
You are based in the centro storico, the sessions eat the middle of each day, and the good Roman rooms open late and book a month out. This plans around that: bakery counters and the Ghetto on foot at lunch, one tram ride to Testaccio and one to Garbatella, a wine bar at the start of every evening, and the three tables worth booking before you fly.
- What to order in Rome
For visitorsFirst time here26 rooms
Rome runs on four pasta sauces, the offal cuts, two unrelated kinds of pizza, a fried course and one artichoke, and each of those has a room that does it properly. This goes dish by dish, says which kitchen owns each one and where the writers disagree, and ends at the wine bars where a Roman evening actually starts.
