An area we wanted to visit on this trip to Rome was Trastevere. It was evening when we arrived and…read morethere was so much activity, so many restaurants, so many places to stop for a drink. We picked Tonnarello Calisto because of good ratings and because we could sit inside and out of the heat at one of the few indoor tables.
Our server Livio took excellent care of us, explaining dishes and just chatting that made us feel welcomed.
I ordered their Tonnarello Amatriciana, a tomato based pasta dish with bacon, cheese, and pepper. It was delicious and just the right amount of food for me. The design of Tonnarello noodles worked well with this type of dish. A sample of my wife's tiramisu was a nice ending.
We agreed this was a good choice for dinner.
