About
The cooking is typically Roman with lots of fried food, pastas, vegetables, cheeses and herbs. The wines are, of course, mostly Roman. The restaurant is housed in a 16th century building and is named after a love-affair that took place there. It is said that the artist Raphael met Margherita Luti here, a woman who became his model and with whom he fell in love. Margherita was nicknamed 'la Fornarina', being the daughter of a baker. Eating under the trees in this romantic setting is a delight. The opening hours are: 1p-3p and 8p-midnight, Tuesday-Sunday.
