the glass (€15-25 plates, Mon-Sat 12:30-16:00 & 19:00-24:00, closed Sun, 3 blocks east of
Campo de' Fiori at Via dei Giubbonari 21, tel. 06-687-5287).

wooden tables and savor their old-school favorites—fried cod finger-food fillets (€5 each)
and raw

greens (slathered with anchovy sauce in spring and winter). Study what
others are eating, and order from your grease-stained server by pointing at what you want.
Sit in the fluorescently lit interior or try to grab a seat out on the little square, a quiet haven
a block east of Campo de' Fiori (Mon-Sat 17:30-23:00, closed Sun, cash only, Largo dei
Librari 88, tel. 06-686-4018). If you're not into greasy spoons, avoid this place.
