Garbatella, Rome

1920s garden-city quarter south of Piramide, with the Roman-American tradition of the Sunday lunch in the cooperative trattorias around Piazza Damiano Sauli.

Garbatella is Rome's 1920s garden-city quarter south of Piramide, built around courtyards rather than boulevards. Its food tradition is the long Sunday lunch in the cooperative trattorias around Piazza Damiano Sauli, a Roman ritual that survives here intact. Come on Sunday or you have missed the point.

The full Garbatella food guide is still being researched. In the meantime, see the Rome food guide for the places we cover, or the neighbourhood index.
