La Tavernetta

A typical homely Italian restaurant in lively Trastevere. This restaurant is tiny, maybe 12 tables, with mamma’s plaid tablecloths and nonna’s food. Tables near us had families that probably have been tasting Tony’s food for generations. Tony himself interacts a lot: he comes to the table, checks if everything was satisfactory and shows great appreciation when customers compliment his food. We were in a large group and savored mouth-watering fettuccini with mushrooms, meat with green pepper sauce and roasted potatoes, risottos, spaghetti al vongole and pasta al pesto. Everything was delicious, really the type of food an Italian grandma would lovingly make with pride. By dessert we lacked creativity, or rather could not resist the good old tiramisu, sublime! As a bonus, it was probably the lowest costing meal we had in Rome for some time, and yet it was really good.
