Lonely Planet review for Piperno
Veritable Roman-Jewish Piperno is formal without being stuffy, a wood-panelled restaurant of the old school, where white-clad waiters serve some of Rome’s best deep-fried food, including filetti di baccalà,carciofi alla giudia (Jewish-style artichokes) or fiori di zucca ripieni e fritti (cheese-and-anchovy-stuffed courgette flowers). 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. Booking is essential for Sunday.
