<\/figure>\n\n\nGrab a seat at the bar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There are numerous restaurants in Rome that boast seats at the bar, and they\u2019re the best places to immediately feel comfortable on your own. Plus you can easily strike up a conversation with those seated next to you if you\u2019re open to that, or just chat with the bartenders and chefs behind the counter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re strolling in the historic center in between the Pantheon and Piazza Navona, get yourself to Retrobottega<\/a>\u2014a delicious restaurant continuously open from midday to midnight. Apart from their phenomenal twist on Roman cuisine, they offer a unique seating concept: \u201csocial tables\u201d where you\u2019ll get to know those around you or the \u201cChef\u2019s Counter\u201d where you\u2019re in direct contact with the kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re in the area of Trastevere, Eggs<\/a> has to be on your radar. This gourmet restaurant emphasizes quality ingredients and a mix between tradition and innovation. Here you\u2019ll find a trendy setting as well as a counter where you can sit back, enjoy a glass of red and order one of the best carbonaras in the city, all without feeling uncomfortable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When in Rome, do as the Romans do. And when it comes to eating alone in Rome, the Romans do street food<\/a>. From heavenly fried rice balls with stringy mozzarella known as suppl\u00ec<\/em> to the famous trapizzino<\/em>\u2014a mix between a sandwich and a slice of pizza filled with the sauce of your choice\u2014Rome is a great place for food on the go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For some of the best suppl\u00ec<\/em> in the city, get yourself to Supplizio<\/a> near Piazza Navona. Don\u2019t expect just your classic suppl\u00ec<\/em> here, they have some special twists too, from carbonara suppl\u00ec<\/em> to an amatriciana<\/em> one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For trapizzino, <\/em>you can\u2019t do better than the namesake restaurant and its locations<\/a> across Rome, from Trastevere to Testaccio to the famous Mercato Centrale at Termini Station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Speaking of markets, Rome\u2019s food markets<\/a> are the perfect street food stop when you\u2019re not sure what exactly you want. The reassuring hustle and bustle of shoppers is fun for solo diners to get lost in, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Roam the stalls until you see something you can\u2019t resist. A couple of our favorites are the pasta to go at Le Mani in Pasta<\/a> (box 58) and the sandwiches from Mordi e Vai<\/a> (box 15), both in the Mercato di Testaccio<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pizza lovers, we\u2019ve got great news. If the thought of eating alone in Rome at a sit-down restaurant still makes you nervous, you can simply pop by a pizzeria al taglio<\/em> and order pizza by the slice. All you have to do is choose your pizza, how many slices you want, have the pizza weighed and pay. Easy peasy! <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re near the Vatican, head to the famous Pizzarium<\/a> or the delicious Alice Pizza<\/a> location nearby. Over by Campo de\u2019 Fiori, don\u2019t miss Antico Forno Roscioli<\/a> or the stuffed pizza at Baccanale<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n RELATED<\/em><\/strong>: <\/em>The Pizza Lover\u2019s Guide to Rome<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Gelaterias<\/em> and tiramis\u00f9<\/a> shops are perfect for solo travelers: all you have to do is get your ticket, order your gelato or tiramis\u00f9, and enjoy it on the go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can find our favorite gelaterias in Rome<\/a> here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n And no worries if you\u2019re lactose intolerant or vegan\u2014head to Grom<\/a>, Gelateria dei Gracchi<\/a> or Gelateria Fatamorgana<\/a> for dairy-free gelato. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019d rather treat yourself to Italy\u2019s beloved \u201cpick-me-up\u201d dessert<\/a>, there are plenty of great spots for tiramis\u00f9 in Rome<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Solo travel\u2014and eating alone!\u2014are great.
