Trattoria Sora Margherita - eating at this family run hidden gem in the Jewish Ghetto is a cultural experience to remember; there is no sign, so look for the red curtain in this tucked away, tiny piazza; you have to join a "club" to dine, but it's simple and worthwhile. My grandmother talked about our 2-hour lunch here for years! Reservations required.
