slow food

pc all the way





Despite the cliché checkered tablecloths and quaint hanging braids of peperoncini and garlic, this Trastevere hangout professes the opposite of the widely acclaimed Italian trattoria-style menu and philosophy. Care is given to a slow approach. Ingredients are certified local and organic, and cooked according to authentic Roman recipes. The menu entries change every day according to season and ingredient availability. In a district that has more than its fair share of set tourist menus, this little rebellion is worth a stop.

  1. "PC" is overrated but I'd still like to have lunch there! Sounds like a yummy place for carefully prepared food! With a glass of vino...

  5. Your picture is wonderful and the place very nice, but I'm wary of such bold proclaims. But we could try it...

  6. Being rebellious is my kind of place! I'd much rather walk around a corner and down a narrow alleyway to find a local spot that my fellow tourists don't patronize.

  8. This is the kind of place I seek when I travel. Beware of things designed for tourists.

  9. That's the kind of restaurant worth a visit — and the wait for great food.
