A trattoria of other times in Trastevere, a stone’s throw from Isola Tiberina, run by the new generation of owners, the three young brothers Roberto, Francesco and Chiara de Felice, who have kept intact the family atmosphere (of those that do well to the heart), the furnishings, the details of the table, from the checkered napkins to the wine glasses, and of course also the dishes of the past. Enzo at 29 is a true and authentic cuisine, with great classics of Roman tradition, simple, but of good quality, made with few ingredients and a great research on raw materials, all DOP and possibly organic. On the menu of the day, which stands on a blackboard stand out dishes such as gricia, pasta with IGP cheek, also called the Amatriciana in white, the famous cheese and pepper, with durum wheat tuna and PDO pecorino, Roman chicken, prepared with anchovies, tomatoes and fresh marjoram. The desserts are also delicious, like Paolo Parisi’s tiramisu with eggs. A few seats and a cozy environment, even in the small veranda. The only drawback: the line outside the door and the large turnout, from word of mouth, compared to the size of the room. Standing await their turn, indiscriminately, including politicians, employees of embassies and the various Roman institutions habitué Enzo to 29. In the evening you can only book in the 19.30, or rather, arrive after 21.30-22.00. If not, wait. But it’s worth it.

The restaurant knows no formalism or unnecessary pleasantries, what matters is the substance and in the dishes signed by Locanda Tonnarello certainly does not lack. The first, always abundant, are presented in small copper pots, as if to convey a union between the kitchen and the table, as if beyond the ingredients used in the preparation did not need anything else to add.
