Lonely Planet review

Veritable Roman-Jewish Piperno, tucked away on a cobbled corner, is a wood-panelled restaurant of the old school, where white-clad waiters serve some of Rome's best deep-fried food, such as filetti di baccalà , carciofi alla Guidia (Jewish-style artichokes) or fiori di zucca ripieni e fritti (cheese-and-anchovy-stuffed courgette flowers). It's formal without being stuffy and perfect for family occasions. Booking is essential on Sundays.

It might feel odd to ask the waiter for palle del Nonno ('grandpa's balls') but cast aside your qualms and try the delicious ricotta and chocolate puffs.
