Paris

Frommer's Review

For about a century, there's been a restaurant here in this weathered stone building erected about 600 years ago in Trastevere. Over the years, this cramped but convivial place has turned out thousands of platters of authentic Roman cuisine, usually with an emphasis on seafood. This is old-fashioned cooking; don't look for the latest foodie trends. Despite that, you're likely to be very happy here, thanks to heaping portions of dishes such as fried filet of sole; turbot with mushrooms, olive oil, and herbs; several interpretations of scampi; Roman tripe; coda alla vaccinara (slow-baked rump steak in the Roman style); and succulent grilled baby lamb chops. Vegetarians will appreciate one of the house specialties -- a beautifully presented platter of fried, very fresh vegetables that can be a main course for one diner or a shared antipasti for two or three. We especially love the deep-fried zucchini blossoms stuffed with mozzarella and anchovies, when they're available.
