Healthy in... Rome! With Margherita Fresilli
Our managing editor Margherita takes you for a walk in the città eterna. Get ready to fall even more in love with this magical city. Here is Rome’s healthy city guide. #HealthyIn
I know I'm biased - very much so - but Rome is indeed one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Here's a list of my favorite healthy spots that will allow you to experience La Dolce Vita like never before, away from the touristy buzz.
Cafés + restaurants
Ginger sapori e salute: If you fancy a fresh bite for lunch, and you’re into genuine Italian produce prepared in simple and healthy ways, this is the place for you. Right into the city center, perfect for a quick spot in between shopping. Instagram-friendly and not over-the-top expensive too.
Marigold: Ostiense is a very up-and-coming foodie paradise in Rome (and one of my favorite spots too). Marigold is my all-time favorite in the neighborhood: a scandi micro-bakery meets Italian cuisine, serving a hefty dose of international vibes. This spot is vibrant, cool, and inspiring – and the food is fresh and amazing.
Berberé: I know we’re talking healthy, but there’s nothing more Italian than a delicious pizza. This place uses the best ingredients and prepares a dough so light and fluffy that’s the perfect way to enjoy delicious carbs without the bloat.
Temakinho in Rinascente: although there are several addresses to eat Temakinho’s delicious Brazilian inspired sushi in Rome, I would argue that this rooftop on the very last floor of Rinascente department store is one of the best. Ceviche is the best pick in my opinion.
Hotel de Russie: their private garden next to Piazza del Popolo is best and most glamourous place to have aperitivo in the city center.

Spas/Wellness
Hotel de La Ville Spa: the perfect spot to relax away from the buzz of the city center. Small, quiet, peaceful, and just a couple of minutes away from the Spanish Steps. Treatments inspired by Sicilian nature are a plus.
Aleph Curio Collection Spa: very amazing treatments for body and face + the spa has an authentic hammam and the staff is amazing (Tell Paola I say hi!).
Rome Cavalieri Spa: If la dolce vita was a place it would be this roman-inspired spa. Elegant and decadent. Facials are amazing here.
Eden Spa: This treatment spot is where the magic happens. If you love Gua-Sha massages, this is the best place in town.
Alma Care Roma: This laser therapy center offers the highest quality body and face treatments + amazing facials using 24K gold.
