Piazza Navona restaurant reviews

Good home cooking Roman-style in this family run restaurant – Mamma is doing a sterling job in the kitchen.

There’s a whole new world down some atmospheric candle-lit stairs in the basement – deliciously cool even on the hottest day.

A genuinely Roman menu offers substantial dishes alongside a broad range of pizzas.

Not so much a restaurant, more a place to go whenever you need to sit down and relax.

One of Rome’s best kept secrets; food doesn’t come more honest than this.

One of Rome’s old established restaurants serving local specialities.

“Concept” restaurants are still a rarity in Rome, but Before is attempting to fill the niche.

Catches the maximum sun, and therefore offers a perfect lunchtime retreat, with huge umbrellas in summer providing the requisite shade.

Tiny, leafy, and apart from the few Italian drivers attempting right angle bends in the narrow street, quiet.

One of Rome’s most famous restaurants, with no menu on display. It doesn’t need one.

Seems very ordinary until you look upwards at the extraordinary frescoed ceiling which, at a rough guess, is 16th century…

This place is usually full of locals – always a good sign.
