Aperitivo at Freni e Frizioni in Trastevere was life-changing. In short: an all-you-can-eat Happy Hour buffet of glorious Italian pastas, breads, appetizers, and the like, included in the price of one adult beverage (starts around 19:00). Depending on your drink taste, spend between 6 and 8 Euro. Locals are naturally respectful of boundaries such as portion control and limiting to seconds (if that); and treat aperetivo as what it sounds like -- a round of appetizers before dinner. Nnnnot so much the case for a group of starving American artists. This was dinner. Beyond dinner. One of my favorite Roman dining experiences, if not #1. The perfect marriage of quality and quantity. Experienced several aperitivos, but Freni e Frizioni was the best.

Whoa, their site. Something is getting lost in translation, I wonder was the place once a mechanic's garage, I seem to remember a hubcap on one of the walls.
