Monzu Vladi




Via Gaetano Sacchi, Roma; January 30, 2013—

A CURIOUS NAME for this basically Neopolitan-style restaurant here in Trastevere, where six of us gathered tonight for a last extended-family dinner in Rome before a couple of departures. I began with the spaghetti alla puttinesca you see here, flavorful with tomato, olive, and anchovy; and went on to a veal scallopini that was routine but pleasant. There's not that much to say about the place, I think; it's dependable but unexceptional. It's attractive and comfortable, though, and on one of the prettiest piazzas in town.
