A cosy and unpretentious restaurant worth visiting in Rome, is “Vacanze Romane” in the Trastevere district.
And if you’re on a romantic holiday in Rome, it’s the perfect start to an evening strolling the lovely streets of this area.
The interior ambience has an open, American style kitchen, divided into a vegetarian section and the rest with meat and fish dishes.
There used to be a kind of organic cultural-restaurant here called Sai Baba and so some elements have been preserved.
Around the walls there are posters from the films of William Wyler, and the staff are friendly enough with the owner having that Roman home-style that you can find only in Trastevere.
For antipasti, you can try asparagus with truffle sauce and shaved parmesan cheese.
Following that, the risotto “alla trevigiana” or chicory risotto, is very good, as is the mixed vegetable dish, or home-made pasta.
Following that, a classic sliced beef or “tagliata” with balsamic vinegar can be shared among the group.
The desserts offer classic tiramisù, or zabaglione with chocolate.
Prices are normal.
The restaurant is in Via Bargoni 10, in Trastevere, phone: 065898154, or email info@vacanzeromane.
