Dar Filettaro a Santa Barbara

Dar Filettaro a Santa Barbara sits in a tiny piazza at Largo dei Librari, recognizable by the line of people often spilling out from its modest, narrow entrance. This small eatery has operated here since the nineteen fifties, specializing in the deep-fried, battered salt cod known as filetti di baccalà. Its historical focus on savory, salty dishes was originally designed to encourage wine consumption among local workers who finished their shifts in the late afternoon.
