Il Miraggio

Frommer's Review

You might want to escape the roar of traffic along Via del Corso by ducking into this informal spot on a crooked side street (about midway between Piazza Venezia and Piazza Colonna). It's a cozy neighborhood setting with rich and savory flavor in every dish. The risotto with scampi and the fettuccine with porcini mushrooms will have you begging for more. Some dishes are classic, such as roast lamb with potatoes, but others are more inventive, such as sliced stew beef with arugula. We love grilled scampi, or you might prefer a steaming kettle of mussels flavored with olive oil, lemon juice, and fresh parsley. We're also fond of the house specialty, spaghetti alla bottarga with roe sauce, especially if it's followed by spigola alla vernaccia (sea bass sautéed in butter and vernaccia wine from Tuscany). For dessert, try the typical Sardinian seadas, thin-rolled pastry filled with fresh cheese, fried, and served with honey.
