Gelateria Fassi

“At weekends a queue marks the entrance to this elegant chandelier-lit pasticceria, much-loved since 1916. Its crostate (latticed jam tarts) are iconic, as are its berry-topped crostatine fragoline di bosco. Take a number from the machine next to the register, order when it's called and then pay. A maritozzi con panna (sweet bread bun filled to bursting with whipped cream) is the downright wicked speciality to order in the next-door cafe, which also serves good coffee.”

“Freshly baked pastries, fruit tartlets, pizza al taglio (pizza by the slice) and focaccia fill display cases in this famous bakery, and there's also a tavola calda (‘hot table’) where an array of hot dishes is on offer. Order at the counter and eat at bar stools between shelves of gourmet groceries, or sit on the terrace for waiter service.”

“There is no better place for this unique Chinese dining restaurant than in Esquilino itself, as the neighborhood is often nicknamed the "Chinatown" of Rome with its abundance of diversity. Look no further than Hang Zhou da Sonia to get your Asian food fix, as their extensive menu is enough to satisfy any palate. Sample their dumplings to start, followed by their raved about Sichuan-style spicy chicken.”

“Old hat shop that has been converted into a trendy bar. Good for cocktails and wine. ”
