Shabbat and holidays
The restaurants observe Shabbat: on Friday evening and Saturday only Shabbat meals are served, by reservation. Listed hours vary between sources, and the Ghetto largely closes during Jewish holidays: check before you come. For the visit to the district, the synagogue and the museum, read the Jewish Ghetto of Rome and the synagogue and Jewish museum.
How to make sure a place is kosher
Ask for the supervision certificate and the name of the authority that issued it. For up-to-date information, contact the Jewish Community of Rome or a Chabad in the city. Never assume a restaurant in the district is kosher: some are not. To eat outside the Ghetto, read what to eat in Rome.
