Best family-friendly Rome restaurants <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Da Enzo al 29<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A beloved Trastevere institution run by the di Felice family since the 1980s, da Enzo<\/a> glows with lemon-yellow walls, checkered tablecloths and stacked wine bottles. Think naturally leavened sourdough, polpette of beef, mortadella and pecorino in a thick tomato sauce, fried zucchini flowers and pistachio gelato. Expect queues, but staff are known to offer drinks and pasta samples while you wait. The casual atmosphere and outdoor sidewalk tables make it family-friendly, creating a lively communal feel that works well for families who don’t mind the hustle and bustle.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Taverna dei Fori Imperiali\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Just steps from the Roman Forum, this family-run trattoria<\/a> has been serving handmade pasta and seasonal Roman classics for decades. The interior is cosy and candle-lit, but what really sets it apart is the personal touch: family members still work the floor, greeting guests and recommending their favourite dishes like they\u2019re letting you in on a secret. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pizzeria da Baffetto<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Near Piazza Navona, this no-frills pizzeria<\/a> has been packed since the 1960s. The Roman-style thin-crust pizzas emerge blistered from the wood-fired oven, to then be topped simply with San Marzano tomatoes, mozzarella and fresh herbs. The lively, crowded tables make it feel like a communal dinner party, perfect for families who like a bit of chaos with their meal. The atmosphere and simple pizza focus means kids can enjoy authentic Roman pizza without fussy dining expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Gusto\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

‘Gusto is an all-day Roman dining destination<\/a> serving breakfast through to weekend brunch in an upmarket yet relaxed setting. Classic Lazio specialties like carbonara and cacio e pepe<\/em> headline the menu, alongside street food favourites and rotisserie selections. The impressive 350-label wine cellar spans regional Italian varieties to international selections, which pair perfectly with authentic Roman dishes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
