Agata & Romeo
 |
We recommend you dine at Agata
e Romeo, Via Carlo Alberto,
just past the church S. Maria Maggiore.
Agata, Romeo and their daughter Maria
Antonietta came from the south of Italy 25
years ago and have made this establishment
one of the capital's most renowned
addresses. As a starter, try the very light
sformato di formaggio di Sogliano con
salse di pere e miele di acacia (fresh
ewe cheese, pear and acacia honey
purée) which goes well with a dry,
sparkling Franciacosta from Lombardy. Taste
the delicious broccoli soup flavoured with
skate and olive oil, an old Jewish recipe
which Agata has updated. As the main
course, cod cooked four ways (grilled,
fried, boiled and cooked with tomatoes) is
a tasty Roman speciality to be enjoyed with
a dark red wine like Aglianico, a local
vine variety grown to the south of Rome,
somewhat similar to the French Merlot. The
charming Maria Antonietta is the wine
waitress and also comes round with the
cheese board: she'll introduce you to some
rare cheeses such as caciocavalo
or formaggio di fossa (a ewe
cheese ripened in sacks in underground
holes from August to November). When it's
time for dessert, Agata's mille feuille is
a reference in Rome; ideally, try it with a
glass of Moscato d'Arti which has a honey
nose and aromas of apricot. From 65 to 89
€ à la carte. Tasting menu at
135 €.
