Since my visit is very short, I don't know if I'll have time to get off the beaten path although that is usually the m.o. of my trips. Given time constrains, I'm less worried about dining than seeing things I've always wanted to see. I'm in Italy once or twice a year, I just have never (sadly) been to Rome.
Most sights are in walking distance from the station, just pick a map and plan your walk ahead of time as you won't have time for everything
If you want to grab a quick snack that is just as Roman as it gets, I advise, at the end of piazza dei 500 (the one in front of Termini), to turn left (shoulders to the station) on via del Viminale.
On your left, after a few hundred meters, you'll see a hole in the wall called, go figure, Er buchetto.
Ask for porchetta (lukewarm roasted pork meat cooked in a specific Roman recipe) and for their cheeses, and have a quick lunch
It's definitely not a turistic place. But it's one of the best in town for that type of food.
