Trattoria Da Cesare al Casaletto

Trastevere & Gianicolo


Rome's best trattoria? Many think so. This out-of-the-way restaurant is simplicity itself: dozens of tables in a plain interior and a summer-only vine-covered arbor on a vast terrace. The food is rightfully the star – Roman standards prepared with precision, skill and love. To seal the deal, there's a great house wine, and service is efficient and relaxed.
