The menu was in Italian. There were sea-food platters, 17 Euro for small, 22 Euro for medium and 25 Euro for grande (large). The waiter advised us that the large platter would be enough for 3 people. What he did not advise us (and what was not clear on the menu) is that we were to pay 25 Euros each person. The 75 Euro bill came as a bit of a surprise! Thank God for credit cards eh? Next time you are in an Italian tourist trap, remember to ask whether the price is "ciascuno?" A handy Italian word to learn would be ‘ciascuno’(pronounced CHAS-KOO-KNOW) It means ‘each person’

Thanks for all the tips! I love to eat local specialties. That is how you experience the place. Yummy adventure.

I can only add that if you're looking for a good pizza without emptying your pockets, you should look out for the millions of students who wander Rome streets everyday... they always know where you can find "una buona pizza", even late at night, "for a fistful of Euros". Enjoy! Great post!
