Before you go
How to eat in Rome
Roman hours
Lunch is around 1pm and dinner from 8pm; many trattorias close between services. Book Giggetto, or arrive right at opening time.
Coffee at the bar
At Sant'Eustachio and Tazza d'Oro you pay at the till first, then hand your receipt over at the bar. Standing is cheaper than table service.
Markets in the morning
Campo de' Fiori's market runs in the mornings, Monday to Saturday. Testaccio market closes on Sundays; go at lunchtime to eat at its counters.
The city's dishes
Look for carbonara, amatriciana, cacio e pepe and Roman- or Jewish-style artichokes. Pizza al taglio is sold by weight: point at the slice and say how much.
