All 13 Cod Dishes

Cod on Scorzonera with Black Garlic

Enoteca La Torre

Prati·$$$$

€28.00

Poached cod served over scorzonera (black salsify) and finished with black garlic oil.

Tip: Ask about fish preparation if you have preferences. The kitchen is responsive and sources daily from Italian waters.

Filetto di Baccalà Fritto

Da Remo

Testaccio·$

€6.50

Battered and fried salt cod with a crispy golden crust.

Tip: This is how fried cod should taste—crispy outside, tender inside, no grease. Ask for extra if you're still hungry.

Fried Cod (Baccalà Fritto)

Pizzeria di Marmi (Ai Marmi)

Trastevere·$$

€6.00

Cod fillet battered and deep-fried until golden.

Tip: Squeeze fresh lemon over the fried cod immediately after it arrives. The acid cuts through the richness of the fried batter.

Baccalà Alla Nonna Betta

Nonna Betta

Jewish Ghetto·$$

€12.00

Salt cod prepared Roman Jewish style with herbs and olive oil.

Tip: Order this on the dairy menu when available—the sauce is different depending on which kitchen prepares it, and the dairy version is lighter and lets the fish shine.

Baccalà alla Romana

Sora Lella

Isola Tiberina·$$$

€15.50

Salt cod braised with tomato, celery, and herbs.

Tip: If you've never eaten traditional salt cod, this is a good introduction. It's less funky than fresh cod, with a unique texture.

Baccalà Salato

Perilli a Testaccio

Testaccio·$$

€13.00

Salt cod soaked, battered, and deep-fried until golden.

Tip: This is traditionally a Friday dish in Rome. Perilli makes it year-round, but it's particularly special on Fridays.

Baccalà Fritto

Dar Filettaro a Santa Barbara

Centro Storico·$

€5.00
