Controluce restaurant
Backlight it’s the restaurant ‘against the grain’ that you don’t expect Trastevere. A fascinating one secret spot in the heart of Rome; a story of friendship and for the kitchen. Who said that in Trastevere, a historic district in the heart of Rome, there are only ‘restaurants for tourists’ and you only eat carbonara? The Controluce restaurant was created precisely for differentiate by the many Trastevere establishments that offer tourists the same cuisine, often of medium-low quality, and which unfortunately have led to the neighborhood being considered less and less for an authentic and quality culinary experience. Controluce is therefore the place that was missing in Trastevere and aims to bring Romans (and not only) back to eat in the fascinating district.

In the kitchen the team is made up of the chef Edoardo Belluccia young talent born in ’93, and the sous chef Francesco Luciani (born in ’90) specialized in the first courses. The concept of ‘comfort‘ is an important feature that is the basis of the project: in fact, at Controluce the menu is designed with the aim of make the customer feel at homemaking him find those again flavors and those genuine aromas of home recipes, of mothers and grandmothers, renewed through contemporary cooking techniques and careful presentations. This idea of comfort and welcome is well understood as soon as you cross the threshold of the restaurant and you feel the sensation of entering a friend’s house rather than a foreign place.
Among the musts at Controluce, the great regional recipes of Italian cuisine such as creamed cod, pasta alla Norma, caponata, meat stews and pasta with lamb or hare ragù. Added to these are the most modern signature dishes which however never forget the intimacy of Italian gastronomy: lo Pastificio Verrigni smoked spaghettone with mussels and broccoli. Also present is the sea, grilled octopus, tonnarelli with black garlic, chopped raw prawns and basil bread.
Obviously, the iconic dishes of the Roman tradition are unmissable: gricia, amatriciana, Roman gnocchi, egg in tripe and lamb. A special mention for the bacon and egg, certainly one of the best in the city.
