The nominations are in and the votes have been counted! Discover who we have crowned the 10 best restaurants in Rome.<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Choosing a restaurant in the Eternal City can be overwhelming. The sheer number makes it difficult to sort the wheat from the chaff, but those who can will discover the kinds of restaurants that make you want to uproot your whole life and move to Rome. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
We\u2019ve put together a list of our favorites in ten different categories from luxury to street food. So, sit back and enjoy as we present our awards for the best restaurants in Rome.<\/p>\r\n\r\n The Michelin Guide thought La Pergola<\/a> was so good that they awarded it three stars. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n If you want to eat there, you\u2019re going to have to book up to four months ahead, but chef Heinz Beck\u2019s menu and the dining room\u2019s five-star opulence make it worth the wait. Splurge on the restaurant\u2019s 10-course tasting menu for the ultimate foodie experience.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Rome is home to the pizza Romana<\/em>, the original thin and crispy pizza locals just can\u2019t get enough of. Traditionally it\u2019s a no-frills food, so when in Rome, join the locals in visiting a no-frills neighborhood joint. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Ask a local and Nuovo Mondo<\/a> in Testaccio is often mentioned as one of the best pizza places in Rome. The problem is deciding which of the toppings to go for, so we\u2019ll let you into a secret: they\u2019re all out of this world.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The story goes that in the 1930s, the pope\u2019s broom maker (scopettaro<\/em>) decided to change jobs. His wife\u2019s cooking smelled so delicious that people used to come in and ask if the shop was a restaurant, so in the end he decided it should be! <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Today Lo Scopettaro<\/a> is still one of the best restaurants serving traditional Roman cuisine in the trendy Testaccio district. We go there for the food, and for the story, too.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Il Margutta<\/a> has been satisfying the needs of the Roman vegetarian community since 1979 and is still going strong. The quality of their food makes it a popular spot for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Located between Piazza di Spagna and Piazza del Popolo, it also houses an art gallery featuring the work of contemporary artists. The presentation of their dishes reflects this artistic connection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Pastificio Guerra<\/a> serves fresh pasta alla gricia<\/em><\/a>, a Roman speciality, from a hole in the wall right next to the Spanish Steps. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Their trifecta of authentic, high-quality, low-cost food is quite an achievement for a place located in one of the most popular tourist areas in Rome. Guerra is the exact opposite of a tourist trap which is why we love it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Suppl\u00ec<\/em>, deep fried rice croquettes, are what Roman street food is all about. And nowhere are they better prepared than at Supplizio<\/a>. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n When chef Arcangelo Dandini started serving suppl\u00ec<\/em> as a starter in his restaurant near the Vatican, he realized they were ripe for their own dedicated shop. Conveniently located near Campo de\u2019 Fiori, Supplizio makes the perfect lunch stop.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n For a restaurant called Eggs<\/a>, it\u2019s no surprise that everything on the menu contains eggs, and not just the avian kind! You\u2019ll find everything from quail eggs to caviar on the menu here. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Their specialties include a tasting box of hen egg shells filled with the most exquisite flavor combinations out there. Tuna, boiled egg, and hazelnut is our personal favorite.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Romans go mad for what they call la cucina etnica<\/em>, which basically means anything not Italian. And one of the most popular non-Italian restaurants in Rome is Hang Zhou<\/a>, run by the irrepressible Chinese celebrity hostess, Sonia<\/a>. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The restaurant is filled with communist propaganda art from the Maoist era and photographs of the great and the good posing with Sonia. It doesn\u2019t hurt that they also serve some of the best Cantonese food we\u2019ve tasted in all of Italy. \u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Rome is not short of restaurants with a view, but for us the best one is at 47 Circus Roof Garden<\/a>. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Located on top of a boutique hotel, the restaurant has views of the Foro Boario area, including a pair of perfectly preserved ancient Roman temples. As an added bonus, the view faces west, making it ideal for enjoying one of Rome\u2019s colorful sunsets over a romantic meal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n L\u2019Ombralonga<\/a> is Venetian for \u201clong drink\u201d and it\u2019s also the name of a great place to try Venice\u2019s gift to the rest of Italy, the Aperol Spritz. If Aperol isn\u2019t your thing, there are a number of different spritzes to try, all mixed with prosecco and a soda shot. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n This is an authentic Venetian bacaro<\/em> (wine bar) dropped in the middle of Rome. They also serve a delectable range of Venetian cicchetti<\/em><\/a>, (Italy\u2019s answer to tapas). You can imagine the gondolas floating by\u2014and, who knows, after a few spritzes, you might even see one!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n![\"Get](\"https:\/\/assets.devourtours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/best-restaurants-in-rome-1.png\")
