Description:
Eating at this trattoria is ideal after a visit to the nearby Basilica of San Giovanni. Look for fish from around the world, including oysters from France, lobster from the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, and some catches from the Adriatic. The antipasto is practically a meal in itself. Our party devoured a savory sauté of mussels and clams, an octopus salad, and scallops gratin, which was followed by succulent lobster ravioli in salsa vergine (a lobster-based sauce). We think the spaghetti alle vongole (fresh clams) is the best in all of Rome. For dessert, we recommend an arrangement of sliced tropical fruit that evoked the campy hat worn by Carmen Miranda in all those late-night movies. Most of the main courses, except for some very expensive shellfish platters, are closer to the lower end of the price scale.
