Well Kept Secret
Ristorante Vecchia Locanda Roma – Vicolo Sinibaldi is a well kept secret in Teversa Torre Argentina if not all of Roma.

Once you get there, you're in for a treat: mozzarella de buffalo, rich pasta sauces and traditional thick soups such as ribollita to start you off (after the appetizers), as well as lighter dishes such as tagliolini con limone, tagliolini in a delicate creamy lemon sauce. The second courses are excellent; the restaurant is famous for its mixed fried meats, which are dipped in a batter that becomes wonderfully crunchy. Accompany them with mixed fried vegetables and you've got a meal fit for a bishop, especially with the house wine, a young zesty Chianti whose acidity nicely counterbalances the fritto. The desserts are the damnation of the dieter: Massive portions, and so delicious you'll want more. The meringato, interlayered meringues and chilled cream liberally sprinkled with bits of chocolate, is heavenly on a summer day.

Price? Surprisingly reasonable, about 60Euro per person. One major quibble when I was there was no printed menu, and as one person who visited pointed out, this makes it hard on those who don't speak Italian.    [29 Jun 2008 12:24:30]
