Around Parioli and Villa Borghese
Neighborhoods
We would call Parioli an area for connoisseurs, attracting those who shun the Spanish Steps and the overly commercialized Via Veneto. It is, in short, Rome’s most elegant residential section, a setting for some of the city’s finest restaurants, hotels, museums, and public parks. Geographically, Parioli is in fact framed by the green spaces of the Villa Borghese to the south and the Villa Glori and Villa Ada to the north.
Due to its more calm, family-centric atmosphere, there is a sensation of being ‘at home’ amongst some of the city’s most elegant, chic, and well-to-do Romans.
For restaurants in the neighborhood, there are quite a few. Splurge at Metamorfosi or Al Ceppo. Dine on fish at Pescheria Rossini or Gallura. Dig into various regional styles of pizza at Pizzeria La Pariolini, Taverna Rossini, or the super-casual Pizza al Taglio Pizzeria la Parioli where you will eat standing up, shoulder-to-shoulder with Parolini.
If you prefer a vegetable, fruit juice, or even a cocktail, Juice Lab is a funky, smart 4-seat bar housed in an old magazine stand that functions both as a breakfast and lunch spot as well as an oddly romantic place for a casual glass of wine. If you are looking for one of the greatest supermarkets in the entire city, it’s staring you in the face on Viale dei Parioli: Doc has a wide selection of just about everything, from bread to fish to cheese to meat to dairy products, cleaning supplies, and beauty staples. Imagine an Italian Whole Foods. It is something like that.
Head to Bulzoni for a fine selection of wine and liquor, or peak into Gay Odin for a bygone era box of artisanal, Neapolitan style chocolates. Il Cigno is as divine a choice as any for a box of cookies, chocolates, or regional Italian cake.
