Just a small correction. The bar pictured is NOT Da Cordaro, the trattoria which Frida mentions in her article. I'm afraid I don't have a picture to show you, but I can give your readers the address: Piazzale Portuense 4 (tel 06.583.6751). We have dined with Frida and her parents there often and can only say that it features some of the best traditional Roman fare in the City. Only problem is that owner Augusto can be quite particular about who gets seated or who does not. It is most definitely NOT a tourist stop. Buyer beware.
ReplyDeletePlaces like Da Cordaro are always the best-if you are lucky enough to get seated then you truly feel like a Roman! Thanks for the photo correction.
