  2. Doppiozeroo

    Sleek urbane interiors and long opening hours keep trendy Romans flocking here in droves, whether it's for morning coffee and pastries, lunchtime prosecco (sparkling wine) and pizza (sweet tooths shouldn't miss the Nutella pizza bianca ), afternoon tea or preclubbing flirtation at the happening aperitivo (happy hour). It closes for one week in August.

  3. Forno di Campo de' Fiori

    A brilliant pit stop when there's too much to see to stop for a meal, the Forno is most renowned for its thin, crispy, direct-from-the-oven pizza. Aficionados swear by the pizza bianca although the pizza rossa (with tomato) is just as good. You can snack by Palazzo Farnese in the square next door.

  4. Forno la Renella

    The wood-fired ovens at this historic Trastevere bakery have been firing for decades, producing a delicious daily batch of pizza, bread and biscuits. The bread's made first but when the embers die down the white-tops turn their hands to pizza. Toppings (and fillings) vary seasonally. Popular with everyone from skinheads with big dogs to elderly ladies with little dogs.

  5. Panella l'Arte del Pane

    A devilishly tempting bakery near the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore, offering a magnificent array of pizza, focaccia, rice balls, fried croquettes, pastries and chocolate that is every bit as tasty as it looks. You can eat in, standing at one of the tiny circular tables, or take away.
