Rome restaurant guide
MONTI QUARTER
| In the quarter you will find many restaurants.
Of course you will find all the Italian ones that your
heart desires, from cozy family run "trattorie"
and "pizzerie" to fine "ristoranti",
with all the regional variants. You can also find other
cuisines (French, Chinese, Japanese, Indian etc.). And
there are also many "gelaterie" (ice cream cafes),
bars, pastry shops, wineries for connoisseurs, "torrefazione"
(special bars where you can drink or even buy the coffee
specifically ground and toasted by the house). You really
have the embarrassment of richness. And if you feel like
cooking at home, not only you will find normal supermarket
(in Via del Boschetto towards Via Nazionale, to the right:
"Margherita"), fruit shops, but also cozy, old-fashioned
grocery stores in Via dei Serpenti. |

In the Neapolitan pizza the dough is let aside to raise, the
pizza is thicker and more dressed. "Chicco di Grano"
also prepares 40 different types of Bruschetta, a Roman specialty
of grilled bread dipped in olive oil and garlic (with many variants).
Chicco di Grano is also an excellent restaurant, with a rich
menu, with many Mediterranean dishes. It offers a 10% discount
to Roman Homes customers. Again, you will need to have the rental
contract with you, or our business card.
Another restaurant we recommend is Goffredo in Via Panisperna
231 (tel. 064740620, closed on Monday). It is very old, as it
was founded in 1886. Enrico
Fermi, the physicist who discovered
the fixation of Uranium, had his meals here. The restaurant
has two halls, both very well appointed. A large variety of
dishes from various Italian regions are prepared and presented
in a very fine way. The service is courteous and attentive,
and the friendly owner Mr. Roberto Pepi is most hospitable.
For a menu "a la carte" (choosing your preferred dishes)
expect to pay around 24 US$ or 25 Euro) for a menu with only
vegetables.
For a menu "a la carte" with meat the price is app.
28 US$ or 29 Euro, and app. 34 US$ or 35 Euro for one with fish.
However, this restaurant offers also 3 fixed price menus: the
less expensive costs app. 18 US$ or 19 Euro), and it includes
a starter, first and second course, side dish and fruit (drinks
not included). Ask for "Menu' a prezzo fisso" and
the waiter will present to you the list with all the possibilities.
If you are thinking of "Gelato" (ice cream), we recommend
"Il Gelatone" (The Big Ice Cream), in Via dei Serpenti
28 (tel. 064820187). The ice cream is not only big, it is just
G-R-E-A-T, one of the best in town! Chef Paolo prepares about
100 variants of fresh and home made Gelato, including all sorts
of fruit ice cream, more classical flavours, and new ones he
creates (for ex. "Crema Antica" - Ancient Cream).
He also prepares ice cream with soy milk (without cow milk),
and also without sugar for those who are on a diet. Also this
great place offers a 10% discount to Roman Homes customers,
you will need the rental contract with you, or our business
card. "Gelatone" is a big temptation open nearly all
the time (between 8 am and midnight).
