<\/figure>\n\n\nSunday Morning Breakfast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Sunday morning in Rome is about one thing: the bar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Romans take advantage of their day off to have a leisurely breakfast<\/a>, often in the company of friends and family. Coffee and pastries tend to reign supreme. But if you walk into any bar in Rome on a Sunday, you\u2019re bound to see a few people sipping a Campari soda and snacking on some potato chips.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are some of our favorite bars for a Sunday breakfast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A Testaccio institution, Linari<\/a> is the platonic ideal of a Roman Sunday bar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Walk in on Sunday morning and you\u2019ll literally rub elbows with the crowds of locals at the the glass-cased bar. Under that glass, you\u2019ll see row after row of pastries: cornetti<\/em>, danishes, maritozzi <\/em>(whipped-cream filled brioche), or the pride of the house: ciambelle<\/em> (flat, eggy doughnuts rolled in sugar). Get a pastry and a cappuccino and snag a table outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If there is one thing that Rome does well, it\u2019s the outdoor sip-and-snack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Panella<\/a>, one of the storied bakeries of Rome, does it really <\/em>well. Here, you can go in the sweet or savory direction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In the former, there\u2019s stellar coffee (served with a marshmallow-like zabaglione<\/a><\/em> to sweeten it) and a huge variety of pastries and homemade cookies. In the latter, there\u2019s prosecco, Aperol Spritzes (don\u2019t listen to the New York Times<\/a>) and pizza: thin, crunchy bites of dough topped with vegetables or stuffed with mortadella<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Either way you decide, sit outside under the umbrellas and people-watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sunday lunch is the<\/em> meal of the week in Rome (and in all of Italy, really). It\u2019s usually big and drawn-out, with rich dishes like baked pasta and roasted meats, always eaten with family and friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Most people eat at home, but many also go out for lunch. They dress well, eat multiple courses, and linger over that second bottle of wine. We\u2019ll the leave the fashion recommendations to others, but here\u2019s where you can eat a classic Sunday lunch in Rome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the most spectacularly-set restaurants in Rome, L\u2019Archeologia<\/a> is on the ruin-filled Via Appia Antica, and is accordingly decorated with statues, ancient stones and old paintings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Elegant but not stuffy, pricey but not ridiculously so, this is a place to plan your day around. The food is modern Roman: hyper-seasonal, with a focus on fresh fish from the nearby coast. Think dishes like homemade pasta with clams and tomatoes, slow-cooked egg with truffle and asparagus, and salt-baked branzino<\/em> (European sea bass). And you have to order a bottle of wine from the centuries-old cellar that you can peek into on the way to the bathroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Al Ceppo<\/a>, in the upscale Parioli neighborhood, is the Italian version of fine dining: impeccable quality without pretension. Owned by two sisters from the Marche region east of Rome, the cuisine combines the best of both areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Start with superb cured meats from the Marches<\/a>, paired with housemade focaccia that weeps oil. For pasta, it\u2019s difficult to choose between a goose rag\u00f9<\/em> and that Roman classic, carbonara<\/em>, but with fresh black truffle grated over top\u2014a lily that can definitely be gilded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A main course is a must, preferably from the open grill near the entrance, from which prime steaks, baby lamb and fennel-dusted sweetbreads all exit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sunday night is pizza night in Rome. After cooking and eating all day, many families want to get out of the house and have a simple, cheap meal. A thin-crust Roman pie, with a cold beer and maybe a fried starter or two, is just that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Virtually every sit-down pizzeria in Rome is open on Sunday night. Here are the places worth going to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This pizzeria is called \u201cThe Hungry Cat<\/a>,\u201d mostly because of the numerous feline sketches on the walls. But this place is no gimmick\u2014the pizzas are so good that you might start mewling while waiting for yours to arrive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A fusion of Roman and Neapolitan-style, the pies at La Gatta Mangiona have a sturdy, slightly crispy bottom, but a raised, puffy crust, all of it lightly charred and smoky from the wood oven. The toppings range from the classic (margherita<\/em>) to baroque (spicy Calabrese salame<\/em> and olives) to way out there (lemongrass, anyone?). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Whatever you do, get a calzoncello<\/em> to start. That\u2019s a small pocket of fried dough stuffed with cheese and prosciutto. Your first bite will have you wishing you\u2019d ordered two more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The sit-down pizzeria<\/a> of the world-famous Roscioli<\/a> empire, this place dishes out pizza alla romana<\/em>, but with an unrivaled quality and range of ingredients. <\/p>\n\n\n\nLinari<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
