Fodor's Expert Review Osteria del Fico Vecchio

Only a couple of miles outside Frascati, this 16th-century coaching inn has a tastefully renovated dining room and an old fig tree (its namesake) that shades a charming, table-filled garden. Long known for its excellent cooking, which was beloved by Italian director Federico Fellini, the classic restaurant still prepares typical Roman dishes, among them pollo al diavolo (spicy braised chicken) and abbacchio allo scottadito (sizzling grilled lamb).
