‘Si mangia bene a Roma’ (you eat well in Rome) so the saying goes, and it is true. When Romans go out to eat it is because they don't want to cook; some of the best Roman restaurants are just kitchens where you don't have to do the dishes. So when you want to get away from Mama's Amatricana and try a more creative cuisine, where do you go? We would suggest Le Tre Zucche, a genuinely creative bistro. 

Located outside of the center, its welcoming atmosphere and creative menu are enough of a reason to make the trip. The wine list is solid with a special eye to the new wines of Lazio. The breads and pastas are fresh and made on premises. The produce is all grown locally and served in season. In fact the menu is very seasonal with the exception of three or four staples. The stuffed zucchini flower with fresh ricotta (Fiori di zucca ripieni di ricotta gratinati in forno con Pesto di menta romana). The Bacala variations (Variazione di baccalà, one fried, one stewed with tomato and one sautéed with olives and anise) are tops. 

It would be difficult to call Le Tre Zucche inexpensive, but when you consider that each plate is treated as a work of art, and that they are able to deliver on that goal, it is certainly well priced compared to similar restaurants. There is also a tasting menu for 29 (no wine) and you can see .
