Hostaria Da Cesare Bottega Storica Since 1921, it has been a historic restaurant in the heart of the Prati district in Rome. It is known for its traditional Roman cuisine and the timeless charm it has retained for over a century. This restaurant, which represents a piece of history in the capital, is a point of reference for those who want to taste authentic dishes prepared according to traditional recipes and served in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The location of Hostaria Da Cesare retains the charm and atmosphere of the past: the interiors are rustic and welcoming, with wooden furnishings, checked tablecloths and historic photographs that decorate the walls, telling the long history of the restaurant.
The atmosphere is intimate and familiar, ideal for a relaxing lunch or a convivial dinner, where every guest feels welcomed at home. During the summer, it is also possible to sit outside and enjoy the Roman climate and the atmosphere of the Prati district. The cuisine of Hostaria Da Cesare is rooted in Roman tradition, with a menu that celebrates the typical and genuine flavours of local cuisine. Here, each dish is prepared with fresh, select ingredients, many of which come from local suppliers, to ensure the highest quality. Among the appetizers, the fried courgette flowers stuffed with anchovies and mozzarella stand out, as do the crispy, golden artichokes alla giudia, one of the symbols of Roman cuisine.
Sausage with puntarelle is also a classic choice, served with the characteristic chicory salad with a pleasantly bitter flavour. The first courses are the heart of Da Cesare's culinary offering, with great classics such as carbonara, prepared with crispy bacon, pecorino romano and a perfectly balanced egg cream. Amatriciana, with tomato sauce, pecorino and bacon, is also among the house specialities. Gricia, known as the ancestor of carbonara, is another must for those who want to explore Roman tradition on a plate. There is no shortage of fresh pasta options, such as fettuccine with oxtail sauce, a rich and tasty dish symbolising Roman home cooking.
