Never mind the lacklustre pizza menu: follow the locals' lead and stick
to the sleek modern bar, which is moored in the centre of the marble space like the prow
of a ship. Come early or late for a range of mini-pizzas, meatballs,
arancini
(stuffed rice
balls) and an array of
crostini
.
LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
LOVERS ALLEY
Under the arch of the covered passageway Sotoportego dei Preti is hidden a reddish, heart-shaped stone about the
size of a hand. Local lore has it that couples that touch it together will remain in love forever. Not ready to com-
mit just yet? This is also a nice private spot for a smooch.
