The world is changing and changing fast - so even here in Rome to find an old trattoria where one can relax and eat hearty meals in a warm and cosy atmosphere is becoming harder and harder. Anyway the old inn Ivo is doing its best to keep the old traditions going, so if you love true Roman dishes this is the place to be. Their menu includes pizza, but if I were you I would rather focus on such delicious dishes as aubergine balls, potato crocchette, cod fillets and fritto misto! The only drawback is that the place is so popular that sometimes you have to wait in line for a table!
