Enjoy dishes prepared by chefs and the products of the great artisans in the comfort of your home: the delivery and takeout formula, perfected during the pandemic but destined to remain in the future, is increasingly a winner. After all, you don't always have the desire or time to indulge in a dinner at a restaurant, but the desire for good food never goes away. Here are the best places for takeout and home delivery in the eternal city according to the Rome 2023 guide by Gambero Rosso.
Bowie by Cristina Bowerman
Chef Cristina Bowerman is behind this valuable delivery service active in Rome in Milan. The cuisine is rich in cross-influences, featured in some classics of international street food, which offers original and fun proposals. Try the unbeatable burrito with Roman style oxtail, or the delicious croque monsieur with beef tongue pastrami.

Cosaporto
A platform that brings together many top food products that bear the signature of well-known restaurants and chefs of the Italian capital: you order and receive dishes, croissants and signature pizzas directly at home. This is the winning formula of Cosaporto, a brand that has spread from London to some Italian cities and which distributes single dishes or menus, along with drinks, flowers and gelato..
Cosaporto – via Sardegna, 40 – Tel. +39 06565470998 - cosaporto.it
Fiori di Zucca
The venue of Raoul and Davide Rotundo is in full swing. It was created to offer quality Neapolitan pizza at home, designed in both the dough and in the execution specifically considering travel time to the consumers' home. There are many options to choose from, from the most classic pizzas - always valid - to the most creative proposals, paired to well-made fried foods. Recent addition are tables with about a dozen seats, for those wishing to taste freshly made pizza on site.

Food on the Road
You order through the website or by calling directly and you will receive tailor-made gastronomic preparations, even with an international or vegan menus, at home. All dishes are made with carefully selected ingredients, almost always organic and vacuum-packed. A format open to individuals but also to companies that want to organise catering for events and ceremonies, without forgetting restaurants.

Glass a casa tua
Another delivery by Cristina Bowerman, but this time with the cuisine of Glass Hostaria, the chef's restaurant, that can be enjoyed at home. The service includes a tasting menu consisting of four courses plus aperitivo with cocktails, flowers and a dish from the house collection. All for 90 euros, for a minimum order for two people, from Wednesday to Sunday and at least with 24 hours' advance notice.

Golinos
Teacher, populariser and television face, but first of all a cook: for a while now Andrea Golino has found a home in Monteverde Vecchio with a place designed for home cooking which then expanded to a complete offer as a true bistro. On the menu you will find finger food and elaborate dishes that reinvent regional tradition, to be eaten on site or ordered online and picked up in the storefront. There is also the possibility of receiving products at home with Cosaporto.

Hummustown
A kitchen lab that offers home deliveries and, more generally, catering, all dedicated to Syrian and Mediterranean cuisine. Hummustown is a project created to support Syrian refugees, help them integrate by guaranteeing them a job and teaching them a trade, an initiative that was immediately embraced in the city. There are many dishes to choose from, one tastier than the other, from hummus to falafel, without forgetting mlookheyeh, a particular variety of spinach served with rice. Theme dinners are often organised at the Pop Cafè on Viale Aventino 123.

Legs Go
Fried chicken lovers have reason to rejoice, because the one made by Francesca Barreca and Marco Baccanelli has found a second location near Piramide, operational for takeout and delivery. The proposal is the same as the parent company, therefore a tasty menu whose protagonist is chicken, offered in several versions and sandwiches. Great success also as far as the various vegetarian options available.

Sushisociety
Two branches for this restaurant that offers high quality sushi, mainly for takeout and delivery in the Testaccio location (via G. Branca 96), while in Pigneto the tables allow you to fully use the place as a restaurant. The ingredients are carefully selected and all packaging has low environmental impact. Available for takeout and delivery.
