"We were staying at the Hotel Mellini which is in the same street as this restaurant (Via Muzio Clementi on the left bank of the Tiber-about 20 minutes walk from the much more touristy centre of Rome . After our first day in the city, which was spent walking around the Colisseum and other such classical sites of interest, we returned to our hotel to shower before setting out again to eat at this restaurant. We had already seen the menu outside and it looked very inviting. It is quiet family-run restaurant with only a small number of tables. These are predominantly occupied by Romans themselves rather than by the seemingly ubiquitous numbers of foreign tourists who flock to the city all year round. The owner is a charming Italian lady who clearly relies on the support of family members to help her run her business. Always a good sign: a small, family-run restaurant frequented by local residents who live nearby rather than by foreign visitors. Given its proxinity to our hotel we ended up eating here more than once during our five night stay in Rome and hence were able to sample a entire array of scrumptious dishes. The scaloppine di pollo al limone and the filleto di manzo which I had were both expertly cooked, flavoursome and well-presented. Similarly the mixed fish grill and the spigola (sea bass which my wife had were both according to her enjoyable in the extreme. The contorni (side dishes of grilled courgette, aubergine and potato which on two separate occasions accompanied our mains of meat and fish also made for a great meal each time. Added to that they only charge 6 euros for a large bottle of Peroni (Italian lager and 12 euros for a bottle of house red wine. Unbeatable value-especially when compared to the tourist trap venues close to the Spanish Steps. We would thoroughly recommend this restaurant for great quality and great value Italian cuisine-especially when it is combined with a stay at the Hotel Meillini. (NB: i have given 4 overall but please read 4.5."
