Dar Filettaro a Santa Barbara

Dar Filettaro a Santa Barbara is a small eatery at Largo dei Librari 88, a tiny piazza off Via dei Giubbonari between Campo de' Fiori and Via Arenula. It specialises in filetti di baccala, battered and deep-fried salt cod fillets, served plain or with bread, and functions as a Roman equivalent of a fish and chip shop. The menu is deliberately narrow, built around the fried cod with a few vegetable sides, house wine and beer. Seating is limited to simple tables inside and a handful on the pavement, and takeaway wrapped in paper is offered. The business has traded from this address for decades and remains a fixture of the Campo de' Fiori area, used by residents as much as visitors. Reported hours are Monday to Saturday from 17:30 to 22:45, closed Sundays. Cash is traditionally preferred. Largo di Torre Argentina, served by numerous tram and bus routes, is a short walk away.
