Cinecittà
Italian Hollywood
Overview
Lights, camera, action!
The Italian film industry has a lot to thank Cinecittà for. After all, it's home to Cinecittà Studios, founded in 1937 in a bid to put Italy back on cinema's front line.
The project was a success, but the studios have been through a lot. The site was bombed during WW2. For 2 years after the war finished, it also served as a camp for displaced people.

You'll be paying restaurant, not market prices, though.
To the east, close to Tor Vergata University, you can find the Hop & Pork. The 'Hop' part of the name refers to the fact that the bar sells an excellent variety of craft beers. The 'Pork' refers to ... well, pork.
Beer and cold cuts. Heaven!
