Capo de Fero, Rome 07-2012

In one of the slightly quieter piazzas of Trastevere lies a few (three I think) restaurants very close together. Two are next to each other and another is smaller and closeby on another wall of the piazza. Without knowing any of them, each looked reasonable and even though it was July, it was refreshing to find these all with Italians dining and barely any audible English.

Capo de Fero had the extra appeal of stating "cucina marinara" considering every meal in Rome (outside of a pizzeria) consisted of seafood pasta.

- Bucatini all'amatriciana (with bacon, pecorino cheese & chilli) - you can see the hole running through the pasta typical of bucatini;
- Spaghetti alla pescatora (with seafood);
- Spaghetti alle vongole veraci (with clams).

I actually had this place on my list for amatriciana and also coda alla vaccinara (oxtail in tomato sauce) but seemed to forget the oxtail once I arrived. Next time.
