Four Cheers for Four Cheeses!

Last week after visiting the Capitol, all of the girls in CAS were heading back to Trastevere to find a place to eat. We perused a few of the ristorantis around the piazza from the outside, but most were a bit out of our lunchtime price range and others were not yet open. Finally we stumbled upon a ristoranti with a raised platform and outdoor seating just a few yards from the fountain. It looked perfect so we happily sat down and began to decide what to order.

The waiters were extremely friendly and helpful, and it was evident that they were local men who cared about their town. The seven of us ordered four pizzas to split: Four Cheese, Salami, Mushroom, and Margarita. In only about fifteen minutes, the four large pies arrived piping hot and we began to chow down. The best one in my opinion was the Four Cheese because it had the slightest hint of Gorgonzola which melted in your mouth towards the end. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for an authentic cheese pizza. Unfortunately, I do not know the actual name of this ristoranti because that was the only word on the menus, but I did take a picture of this sign (pictured above) next to the dining area. The prices were reasonable, the food was tasty, and the atmosphere was picturesque – not to mention the gorgeous Piazza Santa Maria was only a stone’s throw away.
