I have eaten at La Cisterna http://www.lacisterna.com/ many times over the past 35 years and also recommend it. The location in the heart of Trastevere is easy to reach and the food is delicious Roman-style cooking. My wife and I will be in Rome for Easter Week and will certainly have a leisurely dinner there... We'll be back in Rome again a few weeks later and have already made plans to meet friends at La Cisterna the evening before we travel back home. La Cisterna is unpretentious; has a limited but wonderful traditional Roman menu, a decent wine list and great service. My favorite attribute for La Cisterna is that your meal will be reasonably priced. I've worked hard for my money and like nothing more than receiving value and saving a $ or $$ on what I buy!
