Pommidoro

Fodor's Review:

Mamma's in the kitchen and the rest of the family greets, serves, and keeps you happy and well fed at this trattoria popular with artists, filmmakers, and actors. It's near Rome's main university in the San Lorenzo neighborhood. The menu sticks pretty much to the standards of Roman trattorias, but the focus here is on all things grilled -- meats and game birds and even grill-friendly seafood, like calamari. But you can also expect classic home-style cucina, since that's what the Romans always return to. You can dine semi-outside in warm weather, as there's a seating area in the piazza enclosed by plastic roll-up walls and surrounded by shrubs. Your best bet is to ask for a table where the crowd is thickest, as that ensures you the most attentive service and a central view of all goings-on.
