10Best Says

One of the best kosher restaurants of Rome's Jewish Ghetto, the walls here are frescoed with images depicting the area's fascinating history. Some say the high volume of visitors has compromised the quality, but this is as typical as Jewish Roman cuisine gets, which is notably distinct to other traditional Jewish cooking. Be sure to try the deep fried artichokes (fried for a grand 20 minutes) and fried stuffed zucchini flowers. Obviously classic Roman dishes like carbonara and amatriciana are prepared kosher-style and the gnocchi alla romana (made with semolina), baked in a clay pot until golden are delicious. BUS: 87, 23.
