Enjoy delicious traditional cuisine with an emphasis on seafood at this upmarket trattoria. Begin with a half-dozen oysters or wafer-thin slices of raw tuna, amberjack or seabass carpaccio, followed perhaps by a heap of spaghellini with fingernail-sized clams or seared anchovies with chicory. Meat lovers can tuck into Roman classics like coda alla vaccinara (oxtail stew) or trippa (tripe).
