Fodor's Expert Review La Campana
$$
Piazza Navona
Lunch
Thought to be the oldest restaurant in Rome (a document dates it back to 1518), La Campana is well-liked for its honest Roman cuisine and its old-school, slightly upscale feel—think white tablecloths and unflappable waiters in black tie who have been there since the beginning of time. This is the place to have one of the best coda alla vaccinara (oxtail stew) in Rome, along with other specialties like saltimbocca and pasta all'amatriciana (a classic Roman tomato sauce with bacon-like pork cheek).
