Actually I had made a long list of restaurants and delicacies to try out, But unfortunately Because of shortage of time I was not able to. But still I was able to try awesosome Panini and Porcheta Near enternace to the Spagna Metro Station, Try Gelato and Kebabs on the Via cavour just before Via Urbana Intersection on the way from termini, Also the cheese platter in Enoteca Provincia Romana was awesome.. 

 

I wanted to try eateries in Camp Di Fiori and Travestere, but maybe next time.

Here some tips for good restaurants in Rome :)
 
GIULIO PASSAMI L'OLIO, via di Monte Giordano 28 (very close to Castel Sant'Angelo area and Via dei Coronari. Very good italian cuisine, excellent meat tartare, very good wines. not expensive and very easy going. Can be very crowded at lunchtime).
 
PERDINGIANU E CROCCORIGA,vicolo dei Serpenti 3 ( Very close to via Nazionale and via dei Serpenti). This is one of my top favorite restaurants. it can seem very touristic, but the food is tipically Sardinian and they prepare a wonderful Risotto al Cannonau. If you like fish, this is the place to be. Wonderful antipasti with sea food. You can say hello from my side: they know me as the Sardinian Boy who lived in Rome and Naples. 
 
LA BALDUINA, Largo Maccagno - Vatican Area (10 mins far from the Vatican by taxi)  Wonderful place. Great sea food and not only. The owner, a middle age man, is very nice and kind. He is from Sardinia, and they prepare a wonderful pasta with mussels amd claims, risotto with sea foods, and you can taste a sardinian dessert, which is called SEADAS: a  fried doughnut with cheese inside and honey or sugar on the top. It's super.
 
CACIO E PEPE, via Avezzana 11, Vatican Area. The restaurant is very famous for the roman cuisine. Here you can have wonderful pasta alla carbonara, pasta cacio e pepe, pasta all'amatriciana. It can be extremely crowded at lunchtime and, if i recall correctly, they do not accept reservations.
 
DINO E TONY: via Leone IV 60, very very closed to the Vatican. It is always very very crowded, and there is not menu. The owners ( three brothers) give you what's fresh, but it is always very very good and light, despite the wonderful pasta alla carbonara, alla gricia, alla carbonara.
 
Da ANGELINA: via Galvani 24,  Testaccio area. A very very nice location for a wonderful brunch on Sunday. The choice is really big and once you have composed your dish, it gets weighted and you pay accordingly. It is well known among actors, show business managers, fashion guys and radical leftish people. Wonderful setting inside.
 
EST EST EST: via Genova 32, not far from Piazza della Repubblica. A very very good Pizzeria with the best fried vegetables you can find in the city. Pretty crowded, but it s the place to be for a good beer.Very very easy going place. 
 
ENJOY!!!!!!!

Alan and Rohit, you are very welcome :) I lived in Rome and Naples for several years before moving here and I m very happy if these tips will turn out to be useful :)

I recently visited Rome (and loved it, of course) and have a couple tips you may or may not find useful.  I took Viator's "ghosts, mysteries and legends" walking tour and it was great fun - you get to walk around Rome with a local who tells all kinds of morbid stories (of which Rome has plenty) that you wouldn't hear from the more "academic" tours.  It's also pretty reasonably priced.

Also, I know you've heard it before, and it applies in many cities, but keep your bags close and your valuables closer. I saw an attempted purse-snatching on the Spanish Steps, which might not be terribly surprising, but it happened directly in front of two policemen who watched and did absolutely nothing. Much easier to keep your stuff guarded and not tempt thieves!
