Osteria dell'Antiquario

Frommer's Review

This virtually undiscovered osteria enjoys a good location a few blocks down the Via dei Coronari as you leave the Piazza Navona and head toward St. Peter's. In a stone-built stable from the 1500s, Osteria dell'Antiquario has three dining rooms used in winter. In nice weather, try to get an outdoor table on the terrace; shaded by umbrellas, they face a view of the Palazzo Lancillotti. We like to begin with the sautéed shellfish (usually mussels and clams), or you could opt for the risotto with porcini mushrooms. For a main course, try the filet of ostrich covered by a slice of ham and grated Parmesan, or shellfish flavored with saffron. The fish soup with fried bread is excellent, as is an array of freshly made soups and pastas.
