This place serves many of the food market workers from across the way—people who appreciate the importance of using simple, fresh ingredients to make filling dishes.
The walls are lined with Chianti bottles and photos of old movie stars and not-so-famous patrons, the long wooden tables crowded with visitors and locals (sit down in the old brick cantina downstairs for a bit quieter meal).
The antipasto caldo alla Zà-Zà has a bit of everything.
If you don't want ravioli strascicati (in creamy ragù), brace yourself for a tris di minestre (three soups: ribollita, pappa al pomodoro, and fagioli con farro).
Bocconcini di vitella alla casalinga con fagioli all'uccelletto (veal nuggets with tomato-stewed beans) makes an excellent second course.
