Menu of the Day in Rome

Hello...

Leaving for a week in Rome Nov 28-Dec 5.

Do the restaurants in Rome have anything similar to the reasonably-priced Menus del Dia in Madrid and the Plats du Jour in Paris?

If so, what is it called? Any recommendations?

TIA
SS

Many places we went to in Roma had daily specials - and make sure you get an Italian menu, because often there are more items on them than an english menu will have...

They will also have something called Menu Turistico, which is usually a signal to me that I'd rather eat elsewhere.

Menus of the day are not common in Rome. Restaurants do have specials, listed for the most part on the Italian language menus as described in the above post. What is more common in Rome is the osteria concept where you pay a fixed price and are served a few or more courses but are not given a choice. They bring out what they cooked that day. Places like Dar Pallaro, Alfredo e Ada, da Tonio and Dino and Tony's Hosteria are like this.

Roman cuisine traditionally presents weekly specials.

Thursdays: Potato Gnocchi

Fridays: ravioli filled with ricotta and spinach; baccala

Saturdays: tripe

Sundays: tagliatelle
