Da Mario

Frommer's Review

Da Mario is noted for its flavorful game specialties and excellent Florentine-style dishes (meats marinated in olive oil with fresh herbs and garlic and lightly grilled). The rich bounty of meats available during hunting season makes this a memorable choice, but even if you aren't feeling game (sorry), you'll find this a convivial and quintessentially Roman trattoria. A good beginning is the wide-noodle pappardelle, best when served with a caccia (game sauce) or with chunks of coniglio (rabbit), available only in winter. Capretto (kid), beefsteaks, and roast quail with polenta are other good choices. The wine cellar is well stocked with sturdy reds, the ideal accompaniment for the meat dishes. For dessert we heartily recommend the gelato misto, a selection of mixed velvety ice cream. You can dine in air-conditioned comfort at street level or descend to the cellars.
