It’s one of the hottest restaurants to hit the charming Trastevere in years, a cutting-edge architectural eatery with a traditional flair for local artesian cuisine. Tucked inside a 15th Century palazzo on a picturesque alleyway, the uber-modern restaurant space features a lofty two-story design with iron-staircase rising through its center. Stainless-steel tables with not-so-comfy resin chairs line the main floor dining room with its parquet-wood floors and exposed bedrock columns.
The Food
A pan-Italian menu features foodie-pleasing delights and traditional Italian dishes at a surprisingly affordable price. Local market-fresh salads and vegetables are coupled with freshly made bread form an in-house wood fire oven. Pasta dishes include Castelmagno-stuffed ravioli in butter emulsion with fresh shavings of white Alba truffles. Provencal chicken and veal dishes offer a conservative alternative to the elaborate duck breast with cherry sauce and buffalo ricotta. The chef aims to tempt the eyes and palette, as each exquisitely presented dish is arranged as an individual work of art.
Last Word
Even if you’re full, try the house tiramisu or the white truffle crème brûlée to finish.
