Dar Filettaro a Santa Barbara - Rome

One of two places (the other being Perilli) that we went to in the 80s that’s still great, maybe better than ever. Filetti €7 each. Bread (optional, €1 per person) was pretty good, much better than the usual low Roman standard.

The giardiniera (€7), which on this visit was mostly eggplant (I presume it changes with the seasons) is an excellent foil for the baccalà.

So are the puntarelle (€7), if they’re in season.

Pro tip: go soon after they open when the oil and cooks are freshest and it’s not crowded.
