Where Locals Eat in Rome ⤵️ We asked locals where to eat in Rome — and they sent us to two amazing spots. First, Il Grottino @ilgrottinoatestaccio — a cozy, family run place where you can get bruschette for around €3, a mixed platter of fried goodies for about €5, and share pizzas with house wine for roughly €30 for two. It’s the kind of place that feels like home the moment you sit down. Then there’s Formaessenza, @stefanoferraraformaessenza a small gelato laboratory that’s anything but ordinary. They serve their gelato in glass jars — beautifully made and seriously delicious. We paid around €4.50 for one, and it was worth every spoonful. Two spots locals love — and now, so do we! #romefood #romeeats #romerestaurants #romegelato #romehiddengems #romeguide #rometravel #rometrip #visitrome #thingstodoinrome #italyguide places to eat in Rome | best local restaurants in Rome | where to eat in Rome | Rome food guide | Rome local food spots | hidden gems Rome | authentic Italian food Rome | non touristy restaurants Rome | local recommendations Rome |
