Many of the good restaurants in Rome are hard to find, but a good tip is to go where Italians live and eat. On the top of the green, old mountain (Monte Verde Vecchio) there are some trattorias with authentic Italian cuisine at an affordable price. Rome also has many beautiful spots to eat, so buying some delicacies to bring with you can be a great experience. In Via Marmorata you find Volpetti's which is known for their good picks of cheese, prosciutto and delicous pastries. A more affordable choice is to go to a local supermarket which have also good fresh foods for lunch.
