Ristorante Sant’Andrea located at Via di Sant’Andrea delle Fratte, 9, 00187 Roma RM in Italy

September 5, 2018: After marvelling at the magnificent Trevi Fountain, we browsed the nearby streets for a restaurant for dinner. Vince gave us a tip to look for restaurants with the “trattoria” word in it (which meant simple Italian dishes that usually were more local and less commercial).
