Parioli-Salario

An affluent northern residential district beside Villa Borghese, Parioli is old-money Rome at its most discreet: tree-lined avenues, elegant 20th-century apartment blocks and neighbourhood institutions like the Bulzoni enoteca. Its dining is the quieter end of the fine-table map, monied and unflashy, with serious kitchens such as Marzapane nearby. For the visitor it offers refinement without spectacle, the way wealthy Romans prefer to eat unobserved.
