La Bocca della Verita

The simple rooms at this Roman-style trattoria are matched by an authentically simple menu. We love the caprese (the mozz is so good we order it even when tomatoes aren’t in season) and the tart green apple and celery salad dressed only with olive oil, fresh lemon and shavings of delicious Parmesan. Couple these starters with the warm, crusty bread and follow up with the guanciale-dotted spaghetti alla carbonara and the ravioli filled with sage, shallots and duck breast in tomato cream, and you can skip main courses altogether.
