You should try this place. True old-school decor and waiters - don't expect top quality service, but enjoy it for what it is: a taste of Rome, and a snapshot of how all Italians used to eat (and plenty still do - there were lots of locals there, which I think is a good sign). We went on two evenings,... More

Trattoria Perilli in the nice Testaccio neighborhood is great. The food -- I ate a Roman style artichoke (Carciofo alla romagna), a spicy Amatricciana pasta and a steak -- is high quality and tastes divine, the wine list is extensive by Roman standards, and the service is good.

That kind of restaurant that has to be preserved as a piece of art in a museum, for who wants really to live Rome and not just to see it. The restaurant is not cheap as we could expect from "trattoria", but in Rome the pirce si quite normal, but the quality is the top. Not sofisticated dishes, but the... More

It was full of Romans - good sign and it was Sunday lunchtime - we had booked at the very last minute on the advice of the next-door, equally amazing pastry shop/bar Barberini whose owner kindly made the call for us although the original recommendation had been made by our taxi-driver who told us he ate there himself. Well what... More
