Al Pompiere

Fodor's Review:
The entrance on a narrow side street leads you up a charming staircase and into the main dining room of this neighborhood favorite. Its Roman (Jewish) dishes, such as fried zucchini flowers, battered salt cod, and gnocchi, are all consistently good and served without fanfare on white dishes with a simple border. There are also some nice, historic touches like a beef-and-citron stew that comes from an ancient Roman recipe of Apiciuse. In 2004, there was a terrible fire in a shop below the restaurant, but the restaurant was soon back in business, though the irony here is as thick as the kitchen's tomato sauce: Al Pompiere means "the fireman."
