Roscioli Ristorante Salumeria
Restaurant known for it’s pasta. It’s located inside a deli just near the Campo di Fiori. We’d also recommend checking out Roscioli Forno just around the corner for pizza al taglio.
Via dei Giubbonari, 21, 00186 Roma RM, Italy
Da Teo
One of our favorite restaurants in Rome. Go here for seafood and pasta. The owner was the chef at Da Enzo and then opened his own place a few steps away. Don’t miss the specials written on the wall.
Order: If it’s in season get the puntarelle and burrata (ask - it’s not on the menu).
Piazza dei Ponziani, 7A, 00153 Rome, Italy
Felice a Testaccio
The hands down best cacio e pepe in Rome. We tried a lot and this was our favorite. The noodle are fresh, just the right thickness and length, and the dish is finished table side.
Order: cacio e pepe

Bonci Pizzarium
Grourmet pizza al taglio - the Roman version of pizza by the slice
Order:
Da Enzo
This Roman institution has a small menu, no reservations, and specializes in pasta, It’s become a bit commercialized, even though it’s in the less-touristy area of Trastevere. When we looked around everyone had ordered the cacio e pepe. If you feel the burning desire to go here, try it out. However, we think you’ll find better pasta in other places.
L’Elementare
Pizza and brewery in Trastevere. Try the cacio e pepe suppli, which are like fried arancini.
