Centro Storico
Benchmarks amid the trap belt

Centro Storico

The Pantheon-Navona core, where landmark kitchens sit metres from the city's worst tourist traps.

The Pantheon-Campo de' Fiori-Navona core holds Rome's heaviest tourist-trap belt and, simultaneously, several of its true benchmarks. Armando al Pantheon, the Roscioli salumeria and Rimessa, Retrobottega, Il Pagliaccio, Per Me by Giulio Terrinoni and Pierluigi are all here, sometimes metres from a forgettable terrace. The rule for the cosmopolitan visitor is simple: navigate by name and reputation, never by a table's proximity to a monument.

Highlights

Armando al Pantheon Roscioli salumeria and Rimessa Retrobottega and Per Me Il Pagliaccio fine dining Navigate by name, not by monument
