Antica pesa:

best rome restaurant 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 It was given at the end of the XIX Century, when it's original function of customs office was superseded by it's present purpose of an inn.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.
