Italy’s most enjoyable food comes not from fancy starred restaurants but from home, and from little family-owned trattorias that duplicate homestyle warmth — like this festive, wine bottle-festooned place, run by a Roman family since 1999.

There exists an earnest, unpretentious beauty to Soya, like some strangely seductive and rustic trattoria you might accidentally stumble upon on an ancient cobblestone side street of Venice. “Simple food made with love” is the motto here, and the first bites of melanzane alla parmigiana – cleanly fried eggplant sprightly sauced and cheesed – makes […]
Spartico is all about the crisp, classic Roman-style pies cooked up in the on-site, Milanese wood-burning oven.
