Il Cantuccio, Rome

This long-established restaurant is ideal for show business people and theatre goers as the kitchen remains open until 2am if you book ahead. Typical Italian cooking is offered with truffles and porcini mushrooms during the right season. An unusual dish is the Spaghetti with Pecorino Cheese on Focaccia. To hell with the diet - try the ice cream and chestnut sauce to finish with. The interior is attractive, with lovely lighting, pretty colors and pleasant background music.
