best carbonara and cacio e pepe I have tasted. the cacio e pepe (literally cheese and pepper) (€12). Roscioli is not really a budget restaurant. Super good.
If you are looking for an authentic Roman trattoria you don’t need to look much further than Hostaria Romana. Carbonara (€8) is a specialty here. amatriciana (€8) is also good.
not a restaurant at all, rather it is one of the best bars I have ever been to; mixologists.
thin crust Roman style, cooked to a perfectly crisp, charred base in the restaurant’s wood fired oven. capricossa (€8.50) and prosciutto (€8) . lovely outdoor street seating area.
This Sicilian bakery tucked away in a shopping centre alley serves a great coffee and even better pastries. The cannoli are not to be missed.
