Yotvata Kosher Jewish Restaurant In Rome

How do other people with toddlers manage to blog? I feel like it's all I can do to keep the house from smelling most days, let alone find time to write a post! So here it is going on May, and I'm still writing about our trip to Rome last December! This may/may not be the last post on it, but I definitely wanted to (quickly) talk about this restaraunt: Yotvata. We ended up here after another restaurant we'd been wanting to try was full, and am I ever glad our #1 choice didn't work out! Yotvata has the BEST Jewish artichokes! And basically just the best fried food in general. My husband said it was like eating tempura, ie not a greasy battered mess, but rather light and crispy. We ordered one of Yotvata's fried plates, which included white fish, some vegetables, fried cheese, and of course the Jewish artichoke. Yotvata's Jewish artichoke was so good that we promptly ordered another! They aren't cheap (5 euros per artichoke or something like 12 euros for a fried assorted platter), but they are definitely good.
 The decor and atmosphere are a bit dated, but the pasta was pretty decent and need I mention again, the AMAZING FRIED FOOD! Service was ok but nothing to write home about. It was quite busy when we were in though so that may have been part of the reason it was hard to flag down our waiter.
Don't go here if you've got a heart condition or are trying to be at all healthy. But if you're on vacation and want to indulge in some delicious fried goodness, then by all means hit up Yotvata.

Fish egg pasta that I can't remember the name of...too salty for my taste, though
