A few years ago I ate in an incredible family style restraunt in Rome. It was recommended by the concierge at the Intercontinental...at first, we thought we were getting gypped, but it turned out to be an amazing experience.

Location-wise, it was not too terribly far from the Spanish steps (and if I recall, it was also a few buildings away from a good barista - roasted all his own coffee beans). The walls were covered in horse 'memorabilia', including race pictures, stable shots, etc etc. There was very little interaction between us and the servers, as food was constantly being shoved in front of us. Also wasn't too expensive! Anyone have any idea where I may have eaten?
