I second the Capuchin crypt - it was very cool.

I’ll add recommendations for good gelato - Frigidarium and Gelato del Teatro, both near Piazza Navova / Campo cello Fiori (areas worth a visit as the side streets there aren’t as insane as most of the center, often quite peaceful).

Also, if you can get reservations, Armando al Pantheon is super good traditional Roman food. We also love a small hole in the wall across the Tiber called Il Miraggio. It’s a small local trattoria that is popular with all the local families and has good basic Roman staples.

There’s also a church called the Basilica of San Clemente which is kind of near the Coliseum, and it’s super cool because it’s actually three churches built on top of each other. The first one dating to the earliest days of Christianity, then one more middle ages and one more modern. There is also even an ancient Roman cult temple under all that. You go down way deep into the ground to see it all, it’s very interesting.
