2 french bistro rooms in Rome we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Rome | French Bistro across every city.
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.
