Da Danilo

What could be more Italian than a trattoria run by a former dental technician and his mother? Danilo Valente enlisted the help of his mom, Lina, then a housewife, to open this casual restaurant that would go on to be regarded as one of the best classic Roman trattorias. The menu features all of the classics: Roman tripe cooked with tomato, mint and Pecorino Romano; coratella (lamb entrails) stewed in a pan with artichokes, oil, salt and pepper; and a carbonara that consistently makes the lists of the best version in town.
