Traditional Roman Cuisine: Tips & Tricks to Recognize the Authentic Local Restaurants
Italian food is famous worldwide and when people travel to the main town of the “Bel Paese”, they often believe that the quality is good in every restaurant. Sometimes they are struck by apparently original names of the dishes listed on the menus and they lose sight of some fundamental factors. This way, they risk being disappointed at the end of a lunch or dinner. The cultural differences and traditions linked to food and to the preparation of dishes prevent the tourists from easily distinguishing the low-cost places from the excellent ones. The first type often selects precooked dishes, the second type only uses raw seasonal ingredients. The welcome, the care of the furnishings, the cleanliness, and the fair prices are elements that allow you to recognize a good Italian restaurant.
Roman Cuisine, How to Discover the Traditional Restaurants in The Central Areas
If you are planning to visit the Eternal City and want to eat in one of the most central areas of Rome, such as the Vatican, you may be spoiled for choice among the numerous gastronomic clubs. In order not to risk eating squid fried in oil that has been already used for three days – yes, unfortunately, this also happens – I recommend that you drop me a line to ask me for specific suggestions. For example, if you sit at the Bersagliere, 44 Candia street, even if this restaurant is not very flashy from the outside, has a simple decor, typical of traditional trattorias, your palate and stomach won’t regret the choice. Memmo and his wife are so nice and will always welcome you with a smile and a generous dose of kindness. You can choose between the typical meat dishes of Roman cuisine and the very digestible round pizzas, prepared as thin as we like in the Capital town.
Eat Roman Pizza Like a Local
The pizza chef uses the best flours and the pizza dough is prepared on the spot and seasoned and baked in front of your eyes: it is not frozen! The fact that there is an open kitchen is another positive element to understanding that you are in a good quality restaurant. Tasting is believing!

Considering that the Bersagliere is located a stone’s throw from St. Peter’s Square, the prices are really low and honest. This is one of the restaurants in the district where the inhabitants of the area often go to eat. One of the first signs of the validity of a restaurant in the center of a city is that the customers sitting inside it aren’t only tourists.
