in Rome, every Tomasso, Riccardo and Aroldo will claim their go-to is best in the city. so does Domenico (a friend from when we both worked for an Italian bank) who brought me to this modest but buzzing osteria full of folks tucking into homey food, some with "nasty bits" that's yuck to some but YUM to me. what we had:
- fiori di zucca - fried zucchini flowers stuffed with ricotta and anchovies.
- coda alla vaccinara - ox tail stew.
- pasta con fegatini di pollo - spaghetti w/ chicken livers.
- tiramisu for dolci, espresso and pitcher of house red. simple, lip-smacking Roman cuisine. and cheap at 18€ per persona.
Where: Pigneto, a lively working class district now home to students, yuppies and creative types (10min cab from city center).
