; Via San Basilio 56; pizza slices from €3; 8am-3pm Mon-Sat)
This hole-in-the-wall
pizza
al taglio
place is busy with local workers, tempted in by an enticing range of top-
pings that proffer something outside the norm, with combinations that might include Em-
mental and courgette, or aubergine with chilli. There are a couple of seats inside, but
they'll only serve as a brief perch.

( 06 679 28 66; Via delle Muratte 8; panini €3.50; 7am-9pm; Via del Tritone)
A mini-supermarket
opposite the Trevi Fountain, this busy place has a well-stocked deli counter where you can
choose a filling for your freshly baked

tion of focaccia and pizza.

BACCANO€€
(

;
Via delle Muratte 23; meals €45; 8.30am-2am)
This is one of a new breed of
restaurant-cafe-bars that are open all day. It serves breakfasts (eggs Benedict, etc) if
you're hankering after more than a coffee and
cornetto
, then lunch, dinner, burgers, club
sandwiches, cocktails,
aperitivi
- you name it, they've got it covered. The look is polished
wood, vintage Parisian glamour combined with 1990s NYC chic, ceilings are high and
there are cosy booths to settle into.
BRASSERIE
VINERIA CHIANTI€€€
( 06 678 75 50; Via del Lavatore 81-82; meals €55; 12.30-3.30pm & 7-11.30pm; Via del Tritone)
This
pretty ivy-clad wine bar is bottle-lined inside, with watch-the-world-go-by streetside seat-
ing in summer. Cuisine is Tuscan, so the beef is particularly good, but it also serves up
imaginative salads and pizza in the evenings.
WINE BAR
LE TAMERICI€€€
SEAFOOD
( 06 6920 0700; Vicolo Scavolino 79; meals €75; 7.30-11pm Mon-Sat, closed Aug; Via del Tritone)
Tucked-away Le Tamerici impresses with its wine list and range of
digestivi
, as well as
with its classy food, including light-as-air homemade pasta. The two intimate rooms with
bleached-wood beamed ceilings are a suitably discreet place to settle for an epicurean
lunch.
