Abruzzi

Via del Vaccaro 1 Cuisines: Italian

About

Abruzzi, which takes its name from the region east of Rome, is at one side of Piazza S. S. Apostoli, just a short walk from Piazza Venezia. The good food and reasonable prices make it a big draw for students. The chef offers a satisfying assortment of cold antipasti. With your starter, we suggest a liter of garnet-red wine; we prefer one whose bouquet is suggestive of Abruzzi's wildflowers. The menu ranges is a virtual textbook of classical Italian dishes, everything from a seafood risotto to meltingly tender veal cutlets in the Milanese style (fried with potatoes). No one in Italy does roast lamb better than the Romans, and the selection here is good -- tender, grilled to perfection, seasoned with virgin olive oil and fresh herbs, and dished up with roast potatoes.
