Zoc of Rome's Via della Zoccolette

My best friend's cool daddy recently opened a new restaurant in Rome's center, called ZOC. The idea is: healthy, organic, where almost all of the ingredients (except the spices..) used are grown in the region of Lazio (of which Rome is the 'capital'), therefore: very environment friendly. And it has that perfect, vintage feel; soft jazz/lounge music, vintage/second-hand chairs and tables for sale, an unfinished feel, odd lamps, found objects from around the city, and a window through which curious clients can peek into the kitchen to admire it's yummy head chef. We tasted his experimental margherita pizza and a delicious pear sorbetto with ginger....which went great with a glass of local white wine. I'll write more about ZOC next week.....my Italian 'sister' is having her graduation aperitivo there on Tuesday night.
