We arrived in Rome getting on pretty late. Still Luca picked us up at the airport, (in the airport no less) and brought us to our hotel, then to this little plaza area for dinner. Finding it and a parking spot were a significant part of the adventure, but Luca seemed un-phased the entire time, and determined to get us to this place. It was rustic and the buildings and surroundings seemed a little tired, but many people were streaming in, and having a good time, which is contagious.
What seemed like in the middle of the street and plaza were a number of these nice little ristorantes.
We ended up at
Elettra, with traditional Italian cuisine. The food, including my fish was delicious, and the salad with crispy onions, also delicious. The pictures don't capture the fun-ness of the place. Casual, yet elegant. Not too expensive, yet so tasty. Great waiter (I think), Luca talked with him in Italian. Anyway, I felt a bit local here. Really liked it. Luca, thanks for such warm hospitality.
