La Pollarola - Piazza Pollarola
None appear to be particularly upmarket. All our tips from colleagues who have been to Rome but as I'm only going to be there for two nights I'd like to try at least one of them. Any other tips in the vicinity gratefully received.
L'Asino d'Oro is excellent. I used to go to school in the neighborhood. It's in Monti, a real non-touristy area, not far from Piazza Venezia. People living in that neighborhood consider it the best of the many good restaurants there. They tend to be closed a lot. Make sure you call ahead and get a reservation.
