LA BAITA In Saracinesco

05/01/2025: This is a great special occasion restaurant in Rome and we visited twice on 2 separate trips approx 8 months apart. Let’s start with the atmosphere - it’s stunning, like a garden oasis in the heart of Trestevere. The service is very relaxed and for those who are unaccustomed to the leisurely pace to which things move at Italian restaurants, it can seem slow, but what I’ve found is that unlike in the US, they don’t rush their guests. They take great pride in what they serve and although some dishes are a miss, there are some amazing items on the menu worth trying. The focaccia is definitely worth ordering and is enough to share with 3 - on my latest visit I enjoyed the ‘saltimboca’ which was delicious - they said it gets cooked ‘medium,’ but was definitely on the rare side which was ok for me, but may not be everyone’s cup of tea. The prices are high, even by Rome standards but I do feel like the quality of their food matches the price. The tiramisu is maybe the best we had in Rome. I’ll look forward to coming back here again on our next visit.

02/01/2025: The food was very good, and the place was very nice, perhaps a little expensive, especially the wine whose glass was no less than €16.
