Il Tajut
Piazza Lante, 26, 00147 Rome - Italy
Il Tajut is a cultural association devoted to the promotion of
eno-gastronomic produce from the Friuli Venezia region of northern Italy.
The dining room is cosy, intimate and playfully decorated in traditional
Venetian murrina glass, with a tiny upstairs gallery overlooking an upright
piano on which guests are invited to play if there isn't already a performer
on show. The menu is strictly regional and the owner will not hesitate to
offer good counsel on wines, or typical dishes. The latter includes Frico, a
heavenly warm cheese and potato tart, platters of regional salamis and
smoked hams, and an array of light, fresh fish dishes to be washed down with
a cool Tocai. For those still going strong after the vino, I expressed a
minor interest in tasting a local digestif with my coffee and was then
presented with several bottles of home brew to tipple from, on the house,
and somehow didn't manage to leave until I'd tried them all. ??
