Star Maps: Frank Bruni’s Guide To Rome
Reporter In Italy, January 2004 [Vatican Press Office]
Welcome to Star Maps, a new feature wherein a huge timer does our work for us. For the third post in the series, former New York Times restaurant critic Frank Bruni shares with us his favorite Roman trattorie. It’s a subject Frank knows well, having served as Rome agency chief for The Times from 2002-2004. Time to learn from one of the greatest to ever play the game.
It’s always been my firm conviction that the ideal restaurants in Rome aren’t the most formal ones, but rather the glorified neighborhood haunts, the trattorie and osterie where the lighting is probably too bright, the decor may well be hokey or unforgettable and the price tag, mercifully, doesn’t rise too high. Other Italian cities do ambitious, elegant, stylish restaurants better than Rome does, but I think Rome reigns supreme in the midrange. Most of these restaurants are in that midrange, and many of them are located ever so slightly outside the tourist epicenter of the city.
