Trastevere
Medieval lanes, hidden tables

Trastevere

Cobbled medieval lanes west of the Tiber where the best tables hide just off the tourist-packed piazze.

West of the river, Trastevere is a knot of cobbled medieval lanes around Santa Maria in Trastevere that turns from quiet workshop quarter by day to dense conviviality by night. The central piazze are tourist-saturated, but the side alleys still hold the real tables: Da Enzo al 29, Spirito DiVino, Glass Hostaria and Seu Pizza Illuminati. The neighbourhood rewards exactly the instinct an Istanbul diner already has: walk two streets off the obvious square and the food gets serious.
