La Zanzara

Another neighborhood local to finish in the form of Zanzara, which is not far from the Vatican. Meaning "mosquito" in Italian, the restaurant's black and white interiors are elegant, while outside tables receive envious glances from passersby.

The plates are terrific but modestly priced. Tradition in Rome dictates that gnocchi are eaten on a Thursday, fish on Friday, tripe on Saturday and lasagne on Sunday, but the beauty of Zanzara is that you can order them any day of the week.

Elsewhere, salumi are a specialty, be they Spanish jamon or Italian prosciutto. Wines by the glass are a good deal and unsurprisingly are largely Italian in provenance.
