Caldwell Curates: Dar Poeta

At the majority of places in Rome, if you order pizza you will not be disappointed, but some places really take it to a whole new level, Dar Poeta is one of those. It is nestled down a side street in Trastevere and has very little signage, but do not let the difficulty of finding this place stop you from trying it. It is a small restaurant with a few outside tables, but I have never had to wait for a table (this does mean that you may be getting very friendly with the people sitting next to you). The tablecloths are all the red and white checked ones that are popular in the US, the menu is solely pizza and I am sad I didn’t have a chance to try all of them. The pizza is so good I cannot adequately select adjectives to describe them.  I never tried one of the calzones, but I can only imagine that they would be good. Trastevere is also a great neighborhood to wander around in. It has the small narrow streets like some of the other neighborhoods, but without many tourists. It feels like authentic Italy and is the neighborhood where much of “To Rome with Love” was filmed. Here is the link if you wish to visit yourself!

I'm very hungry now.
