After our tour we headed over to one of our favorite Pizza restaurants in Rome. We walked over to Trastevere to eat at Pizza Re. They have a large variety of pizzas and traditional Italian dishes that are made fresh to order.
Save tine to walk around the eclectic neighborhood of Trastevere, they have cute boutique shops, cafes and bars. In the evening it's a nice place to go for an apertivo and stroll around the alleyway.
