Forno Campo de' Fiori — Restaurant in Rome

IlForno in Campo de’ Fiori has been a staple for us whenever we’re in Rome, and more often than not, we find ourselves visiting multiple times a day. It’s the ultimate spot for what we call “walkie-talkie pizza”—fresh, crispy, and absolutely delicious slices perfect for grabbing on the go while soaking in the energy of the piazza.

Since 1970, this bakery has stayed true to its roots, never compromising on quality or tradition. Every bite reflects the care and skill of the bakers who craft their pizzas and breads daily, using the best ingredients—rigorously extra virgin olive oil, high-quality butter, and rich, flavorful toppings. There are no shortcuts here, just pure, honest flavors that have stood the test of time.

Whether it’s the classic pizza bianca, the irresistible pizza rossa, or any of their other specialties, Il Forno never disappoints. The aroma alone is enough to draw you in, and once you’ve had a taste, you’ll likely be back for more (as we always are). A true Roman institution and an absolute must for anyone...

I stayed 10 days in Rome, came here 5 times. From the sweet goods to the pizza (or panini) everything was excellent.

This is a prime example of “less is more” that is so prevalent in Italian cuisine. Don’t expect crazy flavor combos or superfluous flair. It does what it does best.

If you get a pizza (or panini as some may call it) sure to ask for it hot, and bring cash to make the process easier. Quiet times are in the early afternoon when they reopen. Based on personal experience the storefront further away from the main square (maybe 20 feet further) is quieter. But if you want pizza al taglio you’ll have to go to the closer storefront.

A plus, I found was that the people working there are friendly (in Roman standards :D) and a little more patient toward tourists. That being said I learned basic Italian so that may have helped with the...

This was, by far, the best pizza I ate in Rome. We actually went back a couple of times for more over the course of our trip. The pizza bianca, in particular, is an absolutely must-try! For such high quality food, it’s also really cheap, and you can ask them to cut you as much as you need; they then chop the slabs up into manageable sized pieces and wrap them all up neatly in paper to go. The dough is perfectly pillowy with crispy edges, an absolute joy to eat. The staff were also all very friendly and patient with my poor Italian.

You can grab a beer from the fridge and then take it to a small piazza just to the south west (past the Drunken Ship) where you’ll easily find a nice quiet spot by one of the fountains there, away from the horrible crowds and touristy tat being flogged in the Campo de’ Fiori. A perfect...
