Monti, Esquilino & San Lorenzo
For a steaming bowl of impepata di cozze (pepper-spiced mussels) or frittura Napoletana (fry-up of battered anchovies and salmon) near Stazione Termini, try this casual Neapolitan eatery. Or follow the lead of the many regulars who head here to enjoy pizza and craft beer. Chocolate lovers should order the house-special pizza sciù sciù, a calzone filled with warm gooey Nutella.
Note that pizzas aren't available at lunch on Saturday.
