Where to eat in Rome: do as the Romans do at restaurant "Anni Cinquanta"

It’s not easy to find good places to eat among the tourist restaurants of Europe’s capital cities, which is why it’s always best to seek out local knowledge.
In Rome, restaurant “Anni Cinquanta” has a good offering and is frequented by the locals.
For antipasti you can try the small fried pizzas with tomato, eggplant and zucchini, potato crunches, arancini, “mozzarella in carozza” or fried mozzarella sandwiches, and mixed fried pasta.

Such an antipasto only costs eight euros and is intended for two people, but would easily serve four.
The restaurant also has a wood fired pizza oven for the classic margherita pizza recipe from Naples.
Desserts are simple but varied, including lemon cake, and chocolate and hazelnut cake.
You can order what you like to drink but the above menu for four people along with a coke, two bottles of water, half a litre of white wine and an amaro makes the total come to only 15 euros a person.

These days in Italy, it’s hard to find a margherita pizza that costs only five euros, especially if you’re in the main historical centre of a town.

At the “Anni Cinquanta” restaurant the atmosphere reflects the name of the place, with a 50’s style decor, including green lighting and classic lounges.
The restaurant is decorated with posters of classic films and at the entrance there is even a jukebox.
