Antica pesa:
In the XVII Century the customs office of the Papal State was located
in Via Garibaldi in Trastevere. It received the taxes for grain, and
the customs officer also decided to establish an old-time "snack bar"
which would provide bread and wine for the many peasants who came to
the office. The curious name "l'Antica Pesa" is thus explained. It was
given at the end of the XIX Century, when it's original function of
customs office was superseded by it's present purpose of an inn. Very
soon the inn became famous throughout Rome, thanks also to a wonderful
"bowling alley" where the best players of Trastevere challenged each
other, and which now, one century later, has been transformed into a
splendid garden where summer evenings are spent.
Address: via garibaldi, 18 Roma
