Trattoria Da Vito e Dina, located a couple of blocks from Vatican City and from Piazza del Risorgimento in Rome, is a great place to enjoy a delicious meal at reasonable prices. It is a small, family-run restaurant operated by Vito and Dina. It is located at Via degli Scipioni, 50. It has a couple of tables outside, and perhaps 10 inside. The restaurant is closed on Tuesdays.
We were the only foreigners in the restaurant. Our entire meal was very tasty and everything was reasonably priced. Dino was a real character, heavy-set and with a big smile, who loved chatting up the customers.
My granddaughter had an appetizer of a supplo for €1. Suppli (plural) are rice croquettes that are filled with mozzarella and deep fried. She enjoyed it. (I love them.) They are similar to but generally smaller than a Sicilian dish called arancini. She also had ravioli filled with ricotta and spinach (Ravioli Ricotta e Spinaci) for €8, a diet coke (called Coca Light in Italy) for €2.50, and tiramisu for €4.
My grandson had prosciutto with mozzarella di buffala for €8, lasagna for the same price, regular Coca Cola for €2.50, and tiramisu for €4.
My daughter had ravioli with butter and sage (Ravioli Burro e Salvia) for
€8, diet coke, and tiramisu.
I had Straccetti con Porcini - thin steak with porcini mushrooms for €11, a small bottle of San Benedetto mineral water for €1.50, a half bottle of Antinori Santa Cristina Tuscan red wine for about €9 or €10, a house dessert (Dolce della Casa) for €4, and an espresso.
(This restaurant had been recommended by our hotel, A Touch of Rome. It was an excellent recommendation.)
