Trattoria da Luigi

Leave a voice review

Trattoria Da Luigi is the ideal place for those seeking a Roman trattoria in the heart of the Ponte quarter. It is located in piazza Sforza Cesarini 24, just steps away from the corso Vittorio Emanuele II promenade and to the left of largo Argentina. The daily menu, displayed on chalkboards among the outdoor tables, tells the story of a successful balance between Roman tradition and Mediterranean cuisine. Among the first courses, the timeless spaghetti alla carbonara, bucatini all'Amatriciana, tonnarelli cacio e pepe, fettuccine alla gricia and spaghetti alle vongole veraci stand out: a journey through the great classics of Roman cuisine. For the main course, the choice ranges from roast suckling pig to veal morsels with porcini mushrooms and beef fillet, along with many seafood specialties. Not to be missed are the fried dishes, the house's true strong point: from carciofo alla giudia to fiori di zucca with anchovies and mozzarella, up to the original salvia fritta, an offering that surprises even the most curious palates. Completing the experience is a wine list that is understated yet carefully curated, attentive and prompt service, and a welcoming atmosphere that finds its best moment on the dehors, enchanting on the piazza.

Introduction
Trattoria da Luigi, Roman cuisine since 1960 in the heart of Rome
“Hi everyone, I'm Giuseppe Nardiello, the manager of the trattoria da Luigi. This trattoria was founded in 1960, opened by my aunt and uncle,... and today my brother Gerardo and I run it. Roman cuisine and Italian cuisine, the traditional kind. We're in the heart of Rome, piazza Sforza Cesarini, number 23/24, just a few steps from piazza Navona and Largo Argentina. Here come those who stop for lunch for work, couples come in the evening for a quiet dinner, and we also host small parties and special occasions. We're open every day, non-stop hours from 12 to midnight. When you're in the area, come in, we'll be waiting for you.”
