12E Via B Franklin, New Testaccio
Market, +39 339 134 3344
) Sergio Esposito's award-
winning sandwiches are stuffed with the kind of stews
and sauces you'd usually associate with a sit-down pasta
lunch. Try a roll filled with
picchiapò
(traditional Roman
boiled beef, stewed with tomatoes). Open for lunch only.

) A minute's walk from Piazza Navona, but light years
from its more touristy offerings, No Au’s informal menu
focuses on organic food. Beef tartare is a speciality.
2 Periodico Café
(
77 Via Leonina,+39 648 906 600)
This newly refurbished bar in happening Monti now has a
cavernous back room with comfy sofas. Great for a pre-
dinner drink or a late-night cocktail with the cool crowd.
For a speedy, breezy tour of Rome, jump onto the back of
one of
Scooteroma’s
classic Vespas and hold on tight.
This is a new and fun way to admire the city’s ancient
ruins. You can share the ride with an experienced driver,
or take out your own.

A friendly trattoria which piles high, huge plates of the
freshest seafood around. Don't worry if you're not a fan of
fish though – there are plenty of ginormous carnivorous
treats on the menu, too. Good luck fitting in dessert.

161 Corso Vittorio Emanuele,

) Stone arches create a warm and intimate
atmosphere in this family-run restaurant, which serves
traditional Sardinian cuisine with modern touches. It’s tiny
– so a good idea to book in advance.
Sette Vizi
(
164f Via Mameli, +39 348 841 9663
) A very
popular lounge bar with a covered outside area open all
year round. From Thursday to Saturday, expect to find a
lively crowd of locals dancing to live music sets and DJs.
There's nothing better on a clear spring day than a trek to
Piscina Irgas waterfall ,
near Villacidro. It is in the
midst of the beautiful mountain scenery of Monte Linas,
a spectacle in itself.
