This historic Ghetto restaurant, complete with dated decor and a rather starchy atmosphere, is a top spot for traditional Jewish-Roman cooking. Signature hits include deep-fried filetti di baccalà (cod fillets) and animelle di agnello con carciofi (lamb sweetbreads with artichokes). Bookings recommended.
