Similar to Borgo Antico, we went back to Trattoria Zàzà, a restaurant located in the busy area of the Mercato Centrale di San Lorenzo (The San Lorenzo Central Market that exists since 1874), where hordes of tourists gather to buy bags, belts and other goods made with Italian leather, where bargaining is mandatory, like a game in which everyone will win. The market itself offers a bunch of local products, from vegetables, to meat or seafood, with creepy sightings like the skinned rabbits ready to be cooked.
Difficult to miss Trattoria Zàzà outside with the naked Cupid showing the way to the entrance. The food there is pretty good, with reasonable prices. We started by ordering some beverages: a sparkling mandarine soda for Jodi and a spritz for me:
Then, as an appetizer, I ordered the prosciutto di Parma and cantaloupe, a fairly classic Italian appetizer mixing sweet and savory flavors.
Next was the Spaghetti with clams alla Zàzà, a dish similar to spaghetti alle Vongole, that was succulent: the pasta were well cooked, al dente, bathed in a delicious white wine sauce and complemented with lots of clams.
Jodi simply went with tomato and mozzarella, a simple but good dish.
So overall, we were not disappointed by Trattoria Zaza: the food there is quite good and prices are reasonable.
Enjoy (I did)!
