With an enviable location on a quiet street behind the Roman Forum, the pleasant San Teodoro is a dependable choice for creative Italian cuisine, including several Roman dishes and delicate fish. The small but varied menu includes classic fried artichokes (among the best in the city), homemade ravioli con cipolla di Tropea (filled with red onion and tossed in balsamic vinegar), and fresh sole in a tomato, zucchini flower, and thyme broth. Service is courteous and friendly, and the outdoor seating, abutting the theater of Marcellus and the Campidoglio, can't be beat.
