Frommer's Review
In the center of the business district, this bustling little trattoria serves affordable and tasty dishes with a certain Continental flair. Roman art on the walls evokes a Mediterranean feel, and on wintry nights, the brick fireplace adds a cozy touch. The chefs here select the choicest ingredients to turn out savory dishes, such as pan-fried breast of duck with crushed black peppercorns in a cream-and-brandy sauce, or pan-fried filet steak, also with a brandy sauce. A filet of pork is served with a spicy barbecue sauce, and pasta tubes are stuffed with spicy meat and a béchamel sauce.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
