The four pillars around which the structure is built are ancient Roman, but when you walk through the 16th-century door, it's clear that Boccondivino ("divine mouthful") is all about the here-and-now, with the animal-print chairs and glass-fronted dining room. The outdoor seating in the intimate piazzetta out front is a great summer spot. This is also the perfect place for a dinner date. Start, perhaps, with a citrus-marinated salmon served with peppery Roman arugula, then move on to (or split) the delicious angler fish ravioli made elegant by a salsa di fiori di zucca (pumpkin flower sauce). Then go for a secondo—the seared duck breast is all gamey goodness.
