Otello alla Concordia
(ph. 06 679 11 78; Via della Croce, 81 - Rome). Roman and regional
Italian cooking. It has an attractive courtyard, which is used as
a winter garden in the colder months and is well priced. There's a
three-course tourist menu including wine for 20.00 euro, but the restaurant
also offers single meat dishes served with vegetables that are a filling
meal in themselves for 8.00 to 10.00 euro. It is popular with journalists,
writers and proprietors of the nearby antiques shops. Try the exceptionally
good "Spaghetti all'Otello" which is a secret recipe. It
is closed on Sunday.. |
Da Gino
(ph. 06 687 34 341; Vicolo Rosini, 4 - Off Via del Campo Marzio near
Piazza del Parlamento, around Piazza Navona - Rome). It is a trattoria
of the old school with old-fashioned prices. lt's always full and
popular with politicians and joumalists, especially at lunchtime.
Try the home-made fettuccine cooked with peas and guanciale (bacon
made from the pig's cheek) or the "Coniglio al vino bianco"
(rabbit cooked in white wine). It is closed on Sunday |

establishment serving traditional fare. |
Osteria dell'Ingegno
(ph. 06 678 06 62; Piazza della Pietra, 45 - near Piazza Colonna -
Rome). It is new on the dining scene in Roman terms. The cuisine is
central Italian with an international twist. Pasta dishes start at
8.00 euro and a full meal will set you back around 25.00 euro. It
is closed on Sunday. |
Il Bacaro
(ph. 06 686 41 10; Via degli Spagnoli, 27 - Rome). Around the corner
from the Pantheon. The pasta and risotto dishes are imaginative and

La Rosetta
(ph. 06 683 08 841; Via della Rosetta, 8-9 - Rome). Near the Pantheon,
it is without doubt the best seafood restaurant in Rome. The menu

the owner-chef is regarded as one of the best in Italy. But reputations
come at a price: expect to part with at least 70.00 euro for a memorable
meal here. It is closed on Sunday and booking is essential. |

The Pantheon is the building of ancient Rome which
has been preserved best down to the present day. The most amazing
characteristic of the building is the exceptional covering dome.
lt is the largest dome ever created out of concrete: it measures
43.30 mt. in diameter and is greater than that of the dome of St.Peter's!
Now lined with bars and restaurants.
