Updated · 16 places we track in Termini and Esquilino, all first recorded in March 2026

Termini is where you arrive and Esquilino is where you can eat well for less. Mercato Centrale is the food hall at the station, Santa Maria Maggiore has the mosaics, and the Basilica of Saint Mary of the Angels and Palazzo Massimo make a museum morning. Trattoria Da Danilo, Nerone and Osteria Cavour are the dinners, Regoli Pasticceria the early pastry. Eat a few streets back, not on the station concourse.
