SantoPalato

At SantoPalato, diners can expect expertly executed Roman trattoria fare that channels the soulful simplicity of peasant classics. Chef Sarah Cicolini's forte is her mastery of the quinto quarto, or offal and remains from butchered animals. The establishment's ambiance is unpretentious, yet vibrant, with a focus on the food. The interior design is simple, with a small dining room in the residential Appio-Latino quarter. Prices are slightly higher than a traditional trattoria, but still reasonable. The restaurant is located on the outskirts of Rome in a busy neighborhood, and reservations are a must. Special features include outdoor seating and natural wines such as Pranzegg Vino Bianco Caroline.

Some recommended dishes include the polpetta di coda alla vaccinara (breaded and fried oxtail meatball with wild celery and peanut sauce with grated cocoa powder), spaghettone alla carbonara, and ziti alla genovese (veal with onions, pecorino, and pepper). For drinks, diners can enjoy a selection of natural wines such as Olevano Romano Cesanese Superiore DOC "Tyto" or cocktails and soft drinks. The establishment also offers maritozzo panna e crema chantilly una coccola (brioche type bread filled with chantilly cream) for dessert. Overall, SantoPalato is a fine dining spot that provides an unforgettable culinary experience for those seeking authentic Roman cuisine.
