Today, we arrived in Rome for a long weekend and started our culinary tourism with some traditional Roman fare at Hostaria Romana, a restaurant recommended and booked by the super-helpful staff at our hotel. It initially looked a bit like a conventional tourist haunt, but the food was great and as the queue, of both locals and tourists, grew outside the door, you could see why it was popular.
We started with a mixed antipasti del casa - a massive plate of cold meats, grilled vegetables, mozzarella and seafood. I then went for saltimbocca; veal escalopes with prosciutto and sage and a lovely sharp sauce. All washed down with a bottle of house white, it was a great start to the weekend.
