Da Enzo al 29

Da Enzo al 29 is a true  institution  of the Eternal City; nestled at number 29 of Via dei Vascellari, in the heart of the Trastevere district, this typical Roman tavern takes its name from its first  host and founder ,  Enzo , a big-hearted, easy-talking man. A playful and irreverent personality who today lives on among the tables of this “caciarona” restaurant thanks to an old photo hanging on the wall, as a sign of affection and recognition. Today, at the helm of this delicious address, a sincere family management brings the flavours and aromas of  classic Roman cuisine to the table, respecting the season and the local provenance of the raw materials.

Once you cross the threshold of Enzo, you find yourself enveloped in an atmosphere from another era: lemon yellow walls, photos and prints of ancient Rome, blue tablecloths and bottles of wine that emerge from the wooden shelves. A location where  time seems to have stopped , where you can enjoy the spontaneity of a simple and spartan decor, pampered by a welcoming and generous service; feeling at home, here, is the watchword, between a chat and a greeting, as if surrounded by a small great Roman family, with whom you can have lunch and dinner, on any occasion.

The authenticity of the location is found in the kitchen, a celebration of  Roman tradition  and, more generally,  Lazio , with great attention to ingredients and raw materials, to the season and local production. The classic first courses, creamy and tasty, are strictly served with the Rigatoni Selezione Da Enzo, handcrafted with excellent quality flours, in the heart of the Majella National Park in Abruzzo; the “grandmother’s” recipes, such as the famous coda alla vaccinara, follow the steps handed down from generation to generation and the desserts, delicious by definition, are a real temptation even for the most demanding palates.

At 29 Via Vascellari, nothing is left to chance. Da Enzo is the gastronomic destination dedicated to anyone who wants to taste the most authentic Roman cuisine, prepared with  love, passion and respect for tradition. We are sure that Enzo would be proud of this small great family that every day passes before his eyes bringing a pinch of joy and lightheartedness to the tables, surrounded by an inebriating scent of that  home cooking, so dear and never banal.
