Primo

Pigneto is one of Rome's most characteristic areas with its narrow streets lined with trendy bars, restaurants and galleries. Amongst these is Primo, a perfect example of chic decor and uncompromised food. A modern trattoria which serves updated versions of home-style Italian dishes (particularly from the Lazio region) such as Artichoke tortelli with marjoram and Pecorino cheese and "Verrigni" spaghetti with salt cod and fried peppers for firsts and Swordfish au gratin, pistachio sauce, sun-dried tomatoes and potatoes and Veal roulade with herbs and Provolone cheese, with broccoli au gratin as your mains. Housed in a warehouse-type environment with casual yet neat wait staff, Primo is the perfect place to go for an authentic meal in a beautiful area with the 'cool factor'
