Where can you find trattoria?

There are almost as many trattorias in the center of Rome as there are bars. Trattorias are generally speaking informal and familiar places where people gather to eat good food and drink wine. You are supposed to feel at home in a trattoria, kind of like you're supposed to feel in a pub, only your main purpose there is to eat. The trattoria is really an Italian social institution which satisfies the important need to interact, eat, and drink in Italian culture. The food served is rigorously Italian, and the recipes are usually local, though in a big city like Rome, you can find other Italian regional cuisine.
