For authentic Roman cuisine, try Da Gino, which is off the tourist beaten track near the Piazza del Parlamento. The restaurant is in a curvy, narrow hidden alley. There is a "trattoria" sign on Via de Campo Marzio that will point you to the right direction. Reservations are highly recommended, but we were walk-ins and were told to wait an hour and a half. Luckily, though, after an hour, I lingered around in the front for the hostess to notice me, which she did, and we were seated within 5 minutes.
Here is the hostess. She can be friendly if you're really sweet to her.We ordered a carafe of the house wine (vino roso) and our usual appetizer - the proscuitto and melon, which was refreshingly sweet.
We ordered a wonderful fettuccine pasta with bolognese sauce and minced beef.
Next, I had to order the tripe with tomato sauce. The tripe was so soft and delicate. A truly amazing dish.

Our waiter (there were only 2 that night) was graciously friendly in helping us order and serving our entrees. He knew we were sharing our dishes and would bring out our meal and split it for us. He provided excellent service which made our last Roman meal more enjoyable.
The restaurant is so hidden from the main Roman sights that it feels homey and "Italian." Locals and politicians frequent here - being next to the Rome's Parliament. Great service and great food! What more could I ask for.
