Trastevere

Everybody has their favorite places to eat in Rome, and sometimes for a variety of reasons. 

For this reason I rarely give Roman dining advice. 

However, this is a fine place, located in Trastevere.  It is lovely to dine in the back garden on a hot summer night. 

The guy in charge is very nice and his name is Julius.  Here is the bust of his mentor, sitting above the mantle.

Check it out: the bistro at Via della Lungaretta at Piazza S. Apollonia.
