Family-run Enoteca Corsi only opens in the afternoon, so head there for lunch to indulge in this osteria's menu of hearty classics. Another great option is the ancient winery and bottiglieria (wine shop) Ai Tre Scalini serves authentic Roman cuisine alongside great wine.
See
Uncover a fascinating part of the city's history (and avoid the crowds while doing so) by heading to one of its lesser-known ruins – Largo di Torre Argentina. Dating back to 4th century BC, this sunken piazza was the site of Julius Caesar's death.
