  • 19:30 Dinner: Ristorante la Campana,
    Vicolo della Campana 18,
    +39 06-687-5273
    The oldest restaurant in the capital (it already existed in 1518), La Campana is the kind of smart Sunday-best place your Roman grandmother might take you for a treat. With its staid but timeless trattoria decor and reliable, old-fashioned service, "The Bell" is a great place to sample refined versions of ultra-traditional Roman dishes such as spaghetti all'amatriciana, coda alla vacinara (braised oxtail) and carciofi alla giudia (crispy, deep-fried artichokes). Their tiramisu is legendary. In spring, don't miss the vignarola, a traditional Roman vegetable and ham soup that is a rarity on restaurant menus. Reservations are especially recommended for Sunday lunch. Lee Marshall, Telegraph Travel's Rome expert.#23

    Via del Gesu 87/88,

    In the morning and afternoon it's an old-fashioned wine shop, but come lunchtime this historic bottiglieria, brilliantly placed halfway between Piazza Venezia and the Pantheon, morphs into a packed local trattoria. In a warren of barrel-vaulted rooms, hungry office workers, tourists, local aristocrats and Vatican apparatchiks tuck into dishes like pasta e ceci (a warming soup of pasta and chickpeas) or pollo alla diavola (grilled spicy chicken), washed down with the very drinkable house white or red (if you're undecided, go for the latter - it's a suprisingly good Morellino di Scansano from Tuscany). Should you need something a little more serious, they have more than 300 wines by the bottle. A couple of the waitstaff speak good English - not always a given in Rome. In December 2014, they started to open for dinner on Thursday and Friday evenings, when a few fish and seafood dishes join the Roman meaty classics. Lee Marshall, Telegraph Travel's Rome expert.#19
