Trastevere & Gianicolo


This is your classic family affair: the menu is short, the cuisine is robust, the portions are huge and mama is cooking in the kitchen. Expect baccalà con patate (salted cod stewed with potatoes) on Friday and trippa (tripe) on Saturday, but other dishes – such as coniglio all cacciatore (rabbit, hunter-style) or polpette al sugo (meatballs in sauce) – whichever day you like.
