One sign of an otherwise unremarkable trattoria truly favored by the locals: people actually lining up to wait for it to open. The old tall, vaulted rooms of La Casalinga open into blandly modern ones, heritage of an expansion several years back that sucked the spirit out of the place (though the food's still both cheap and good).

It's tough to spend more than $15 here—though if you order both a steak secondo and wine, you might be pushing $20—so feel free to order anything a la carte, be it ribollita (hearty tuscan bean soup thickened with day-old bread) or tortellini in a rabbit ragù, polpette al forno (giant baked meatballs) or faraona arrosto (roast guinea fowl).
