Centocelle
Tasty!
Overview
It's an ancient area. It's a hotspot for youth. It's Centocelle.
Centocelle was first settled by the Romans. They used it as a military base outside the city centre.
Those days are long gone. And so is the military mindset. The modern generation enjoys a great social life, excellent food, and a lot more peace.
Modernity and antiquity – the best of Rome is here, off the beaten path, in Centocelle.
Come see for yourself.
What can I do here?
As we speak, Centocelle is becoming more and more famous for its food. Come here to sample creative Roman cuisine free from the city-centre price tag.
So grab a drink, settle in for an aperitivo (aperitif) at L'OmbraLonga. It's not a fancy place, though. (It might be best described as unsophisticated.) But it serves quality food at low prices. And in the end, isn't that what's important?
Mazzo is more expensive. But it also comes recommended by the _New York Times._The chefs here take traditional Roman cuisine and add a creative twist.
Afterwards (if you're not too full), walk it off around the neighbourhood. Admire the tree-lined avenues. Enjoy the tranquil vibe.
This truly is one of Rome's most laid-back areas.
Fascinating fact
'Centocelle' means 'One Hundred Rooms'. Its name comes from its original purpose: to house the Roman military and their weapons. Creative.
