Rome and Its Artichokes

Ristorante Piperno in Rome's Trastevere district, or more precisely in the Jewish quarter, is one of those classic restaurants where things are still as they were in times long past. A restaurant with a lot of patina, waiters of advanced age – and a dish on the menu that is typical of Jewish cuisine in Rome: carciofi alla giudia, artichokes in the Jewish style.
