La Gattabuia

La Gattabuia, nestled in the heart of the old Trastevere area, a few steps from Lungotevere Ripa from which you can enjoy the view of the Tiber river, right in the middle of its distinctive maze of alleys and small squares, is undeniably one of the most typical and historical restaurants in Rome. The place is the result of the renovation of a magnificent XV century space, a former papal dungeon. It is composed of 3 rooms, all tastefully decorated and embellished with old antiques, including some ancient working tools. When you look up, you can see the original vaulted brick ceiling of the old papal dungeon cells, recreating the evocative ambiance of the Roman tavern of yore. Traditional Roman cuisine reigns supreme and local ingredients prevail. However, the menu offers also seasonal surprises and winks at more modern and sophisticated desserts. Easy to reach by car and public transportation. Thanks to its impeccable service and good reputation, La Gattabuia can provide private dining rooms for groups, also liaising with important tour operators.
