Taverna Del Seminario - Roma

Warm and inviting on a cool February day around the corner from the Pantheon we found a fair amount of Italians in spite of a heavily tourist neighborhood. Octopus salad! Margarita pizza! Egg with truffle pesto and cheese, check plus!

Only stopped here for a quick aperitif. Decent prices for being so close to the Pantheon. Food was good and service was quick. There was a line out the door, about 6 people deep, but it moved through quickly.

Absolutely a hidden jewel in this magnificent area of Rome! I was happy enough to go by when I was hungry and decided to enter immediately. The food was of great value. 18 Euro and you can have the whole menu. I changed tomato paste (7 Euros) instead of other first-course options on the menu. It wasn't the most impressive pasta I had in Rome, but it was okay. Second course herbs grilled chicken I liked better. The chicken was well cooked and had a nice taste of herbs. Desert I always liked. Finally, it is hard to find something bad about candy The wine was abundant. I ordered the 3 euros and hoped to get a small glass. But they served me a water glass of wine!

Great location near Pantheon. Had chickpeas soup with cod fish, grilled octopus, and their daily special eggplant pasta. The soup was good although with very little liquid it felt more like gravy instead. Octopus will grilled well till crispy, but was holding too much oil. Unimpressed by the eggplant pasta.
