Food & Drinks
Er Faciolaro
Located beside POP Art B&B door is an historical restaurant of Rome. The restaurant was originally a bakery that served its employees a bean soup for lunch. It seems that the soup was so good that in a short time customers increasingly asked to serve it as a meal. For this reason the restaurant was called “Er faciolaro” (who cooks beans). Since then the restaurant has kept its original recipes, expanding the offering to its guests with many other dishes typical of the Roman culinary tradition. www.erfaciolaro.it

Enosteria dedicates its time to rediscover flavors perhaps “homely” but taken to a new, delicately refined, level.
