Then, stay for the mains. The gricia <\/em>pasta is spectacular, the fettuccine with artichokes is the best we\u2019ve ever had, and their seafood and meat dishes are unrivaled.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The wine selection is top-notch, but for a more budget-friendly option, go for the house wine (Da Teo\u2019s is quite good)! When the weather is nice, dine al fresco in the lovely outdoor area on the quaint piazza. If you don\u2019t have a reservation, good luck finding a table\u2014this place is popular!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n RELATED<\/em><\/strong>: <\/em>How to Navigate a Wine List in Italy<\/em><\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Flavio al Velavevodetto<\/a> has taken Rome by storm with its perfect cacio e pepe<\/a><\/em>: al dente, creamy and oh-so-tasty. Located on Monte dei Cocci Hill<\/a> in Testaccio, it\u2019s much larger than its fellow trattorias with more than 200 seats (that said, we still recommend reserving)!\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n In two of the indoor dining rooms, you can even see the remains of the broken terracotta Ancient Roman jars depicting Monte Testaccio Hill. In the summer, be sure to reserve a table on the outdoor terrace for a moonlit dinner.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Apart from the cacio e pepe<\/em>, must-orders are the fried, breaded, marinated lamb cutlets, the delicious prosciutto di Parma<\/em> and the gricia <\/em>pasta (complete with the crispiest guanciale<\/em> you\u2019ll ever eat). Be sure to leave room for desserts: the tiramis\u00f9<\/em> by the glass is unforgettable, and shouldn\u2019t be shared under any circumstances!\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n This small, no-frills restaurant in Trastevere is one of our favorite trattorias in Rome. Set on two floors and with a small open kitchen, it\u2019s the ultimate trattoria experience. The service is excellent, and trust us when we say that the friendly waiters will truly make your experience one to remember.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n But let\u2019s get to the food, shall we? Don\u2019t expect to find just<\/em> your typical carbonara and amatriciana<\/em> at Le Mani in Pasta (Via Dei Genovesi, 37)<\/span><\/em>. This trattoria is known especially for its delicious seafood.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n From the sea bass carpaccio<\/em> with truffle shavings, to the amazing tagliolini<\/em> pasta with shrimp, cherry tomatoes and sea bream, you\u2019re in for a treat. And that\u2019s not to mention the delicious oysters, either.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Since the kitchen is quite small, the food can take a while. No worries, though\u2014their friendly staff will bring you something to nibble on until your food arrives! Again, reservations are highly recommended here.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Da Enzo al 29<\/a> is known for its notorious long lines. The reason? Reservations are only accepted at 7:30 p.m., which is on the early side for Italian dinner times\u2014good to know if you want to eat like a local in Rome<\/a>!\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The lines are proof, though, that this tiny trattoria is one of the best in Rome when it comes to traditional cucina romana<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Not sure what to order? Listen to the owners; they know what they\u2019re talking about. From the carciofi alla giudia<\/em> (Jewish-style artichokes<\/a>) to the gricia <\/em>pasta and the saltimbocca alla romana<\/em> (veal with prosciutto and sage), they\u2019re serious about Roman cuisine here.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n This restaurant is as no-frills as it gets: just a few indoor and outdoor sidewalk tables, spartan tablecloths and cutlery, and a friendly and efficient service. It\u2019s the trattoria experience everyone talks about.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Sitting on Via del Pellegrino, a stone\u2019s throw away from Piazza Campo de\u2019 Fiori, Osteria da Fortunata<\/a> is the place to go for delicious Roman primi<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n It\u2019s on the small side, with just a few sidewalk tables and an indoor dining room. You\u2019ll likely be greeted by Antonia herself\u2014she\u2019s the mastermind behind all the homemade pasta here, from tagliolini<\/em> to strozzapreti<\/em>!\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n While the menu has all the classic Roman pasta<\/a> dishes, they also have seasonal specials of the day. The carbonara with zucchini flowers is absolutely amazing if you happen to be around in late spring or summer. Their second courses are also winners, from the straccetti <\/em>(beef strips) with arugula and Parmesan, to the coniglio alla cacciatora<\/em> (rabbit stew).\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Just a heads up, this trattoria\u2019s prices are a tad higher than usual\u2014but hey, food this great is totally worth it. As for the reservation policy, it\u2019s first come, first served!\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n We can\u2019t talk about the best trattorias in Rome without mentioning another legendary spot: Da Felice a Testaccio<\/a>, a family-run trattoria founded in 1936 by Felice Trivelloni.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n This place was made famous by the late Trivelloni\u2019s caustic character. Legend says that if he didn\u2019t like you, he would tell you the restaurant was \u201cfully booked,\u201d even if it was completely empty! However, he always made room for the working-class inhabitants of the Testaccio neighborhood that the restaurant calls home.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n But stories aside, the food is as good as it gets. The most famous dish at Da Felice a Testaccio is without a doubt the cacio e pepe<\/em>. The waiters bring in this bowl of tonnarelli <\/em>pasta topped with pecorino cheese, set it on your table and start mixing away until the cheese is completely melted. The portions are served, and voil\u00e0\u2014get ready to taste one of the best cacio e pepes<\/em> in the world.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Unlike other trattorias, the service here is formal, the tableware is classy, and the setting is modern. It\u2019s not a classic trattoria, but a fancier one. The menu is different each day of the week, but no worries\u2014the classic primi<\/em> are always there. Remember to reserve in advance.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n This is one of the most ancient trattorias in Rome, with a pretty cool story behind it to boot.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Literally translated as \u201cthe broom man,\u201d Lo Scopettaro<\/a> was a workshop that supplied brooms to the entire Papal States region<\/a>!\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n1.
