Restaurant recommendations in modern Rome

Close to the Colosseum in Rome I discovered an adorable little restaurant that should not be missed. The initiall attraction to the place was its name, The Golden Ass. Since this is my favourite Roman novel, I decided to sit in one of the outside tables and taste the food. I soon found out that the name of the owner is Lucio; hence the name of the restaurant. The food was nothing sort of excellent; and I can assure you that my standards are very high. You pay 12 euros for a three course meal, a glass of wine and a bottle of water. Even if the quantity of the foor is not exactly what I was hoping for, the quality makes up for it. If you have six euros left in your pocket, try one of the ‘dolci’. Strongly recommended to all academic foodies!
