100 Locals in Rome

Forget the so-called experts and their cookie-cutter itineraries. This isn’t another guide telling you where someone thinks you should go. We went straight to the source: 100 real Romans sharing their favorite restaurants, beloved coffee bars and the secret spots they’d rather keep to themselves.

From hidden piazzas made for a sunset aperitivo to the bars pulling the smoothest espresso in town, this is the Rome locals actually live and love. No overcrowded landmarks, no overpriced tourist menus and definitely no watered-down espresso.

The guide is updated every month, so every recommendation is fresh and every place is still open: whenever you buy a copy, you get the current edition. It is the first in a growing series, followed by London, with more cities on the way.

First trip to the Eternal City or tenth, this is your shortcut to Rome like an insider. Why follow the herd when you can follow the locals?
