Il Duca in Trastevere
56 Vicolo del CinqueIt's called Il Duca, not The Duke, but seems I can't edit that here. Conveniently close, good food, nice atmosphere.
Very roman, family run, inexpensive, limited menu, service can sometimes be rough around the edges. No reservations, you'd have to stand in line. But an absolute favourite. Great food, the place for a genuine roman experience, but don't expect a romantic candlelit dinner.

On the more expensive side, but popular, both with regular roman families and with politicians and celebrity. Good food, rich traditions. In summer you can sit outside in their little back garden. Also consider the HOSTERIA next door, same owners and kitchen, but lower profile and prices.

Sightseeing
Well, obviously! Walk the streets south and west of Piazza S. Maria, or east of the Viale di Trastevere if you feel the center of Trastevere is a little crowded. Quiet streets, with a local feel. Or just do the round of Via del Moro, Via Benedetta, Via della Scala etc., that's the heart of Trastevere.

After seeing Campo de' Fiori, walk the lovely streets of Via dei Capellari and Via del Pellegrino, preferably during business hours when people are at work in their shops and workshops, before lunch is the best time. Then cross over to the area of Rione di Ponte, and walk the Via del Governo Vecchio and Via dei Coronari, and all the small streets surrounding them. A beautiful part of Rome!
