A Roman institution so old it predates the city's unification as Italy's capital. Since 1870, this is where Romans have come for the definitive versions of the dishes that define their cuisine: amatriciana, cacio e pepe, carbonara. The dining room feels unchanged, which is precisely the point.
Our take
“Order the amatriciana. Don't overthink the menu.”
