Rome Tours & Activities

*** Pizzeria Da Baffetto - Everyone from local students to international movie stars line up outside Baffetto's doors for what just may be the best Roman-style pizza in town. One small room, lined with white ceramic tiles and snapshots of celebrity patrons, wraps around the wood-fired brick oven just inside the entrance, while two more dining rooms are squirreled away upstairs. This is a pizzeria, not a restaurant, so all they do is the traditional Roman crisp, thin-crust pizza. It comes in three sizes and with your choice of toppings (a small, plain "pizza margherita" costs around $5; a fully loaded large runs $10)... Via del Governo Vecchio 114; tel. +39-06-686-1617; www.pizzeriabaffetto.it; Dinner only; closed Sun in winter. » more

** Pizzeria Da Ivo - Trastevere's famed pizza parlor is always thronged with locals and visitors, but the hordes haven't led it to compromise taste or prices (trust me: I've been coming here since I was 11 years old). The sidewalk tables are hard to come by, but the street's fairly trafficked, so I always choose the closely spaced tables inside. The service is swift and brusque in true Trastevere style, and despite its almost terminal popularity, Ivo remains an excellent place to introduce yourself to genuine Roman wood-oven pizza... Via San Francesco a Ripa 158, tel. +39-06-581-7082, Closed Tues. » more

* Pizzeria Est Est Est - You can sit outside at the box canyon–like end of the road as part of an old-fashioned Roman street dining scene or opt for the Liberty-style interior of the Ricci family's 103-year-old pizzeria. The starched-shirt service and small pies of Est! Est! Est!—named after a sweet white wine from northern Lazio—have long been popular with the nearby police station and other neighbors as well as visitors... Via Genova 32; tel. +39-06-488-1107; Dinner only; Closed Mon., Aug. » more
