Carciofo alla giudia

Carciofo alla giudia, a whole artichoke trimmed by hand, fried floating in oil, opened out like a rose and fried again over a fierce flame. Rome's Jewish quarter on a plate, cooked the way the house sets out on its own page.

Luigi 'Giggetto' Ceccarelli and wife Ines bought this hostaria, inn, by the Portico d'Ottavia after the First World War, and the family still cooks here. Its artichoke fried the Jewish way is the house speciality.
