Rome, Italy
Where to eat near the Spanish Steps
10 places within 15 minutes on foot of the Spanish Steps. Start with Ristorante Nino, 2 min walk: the ribollita, a bistecca alla fiorentina.
The trap to skip
The tables facing the landmark itself: you pay for the view, and the long photo menus in five languages and the man out front inviting you in are the giveaway. Walk two streets back.
