Where to eat in Rome

To help you navigate the horrendous amount of restaurants that you can find in Rome, I have left a list down below of my recommendations. I myself felt a bit overwhelmed when I first visited Rome, so I thought someone would find this list helpful. I will not go into detail on every place as it would be the longest article anyone has ever read but know that all of the restaurants below are a place where you can find great food in Rome. You can find all of them in the map below as well for help with navigation. Save it and download for access when offline as well. Hope you find this guide to the best restaurants in Rome, Italy helpful.
