Piperno

Fodor's Review:

The place to go for Rome's extraordinary carciofi alla giudia (fried whole artichokes), Piperno has been in business for more than a century. The location, up a tiny hill in a piazza tucked away behind the palazzi of the Jewish Ghetto, lends the restaurant a rarefied air. It's a popular location for Sunday brunch. Try pasta e ceci (a thick soup of pasta tubes and chickpeas), fiori di zucca ripieni e fritti (fried stuffed zucchini flowers), and filetti di baccalà (fillet of cod)—the display of fresh local fish is enticing enough to lure diners to try offerings from sea instead of land.
