Fodor's Expert Review Topolino

Amid the hummus houses near the Machaneh Yehuda market is this cozy trattoria offering a well-honed selection of traditional Italian fare. Try the smattering of seats outside for a quick espresso or plate of homemade pasta after buying your fruits and vegetables at the market. In the evening, be prepared to wait for one of the closely grouped tables inside, where the house specialties include sardine bruschetta with buffalo mozzarella, artichoke and ricotta ravioli, or hot-from-the-oven pizza. Take a look at the Sicilian menu for regional options like fish couscous.
