French bistro cooking is a thin seam in Rome, where the trattoria dominates and the closest thing is often a wine-led room serving simple plates. The handful of options sit in the centro storico, where Maccheroni and Enoteca Corsi pair carafes of wine with unfussy, market-driven food. Both lean Roman at heart, so treat the bistro label loosely and come for the room rather than a Paris menu.
Maccheroni in Rome's Centro Storico runs the kitchen to 23:30 with Roman pasta classics, a piazza terrace and a wine carafe list, the late-bistro alternative.
