Happy diners at Da Lucia
When in Rome, we’re constantly to be found gorging on Roman fare in one of the many terrific, inexpensive restaurants around town, where a bowl of pasta averages 10-12 euros, secondi no more than 20 euros and decent house wine barely costs more than water. Spaghetti cacio e pepe, fettucine carbonara, carciofi alla giuda, abbacchio alla romana, even trippa alla romana – these are a few of our favourite things and here are three stalwarts to enjoy them.
Lights are on at Bar del Fico
Rome may be teeming with bars and aperitivo hour is a joy, but it’s not exactly awash with hip new openings, so we were off like a shot when news came through of the (re)opening of Bar del Fico, in a molto simpatico side street just moments from Piazza Navona.
