Checchino dal 1887
Italian
Carved into the slope of Monte Testaccio, a hill built from ancient broken amphorae, this old-school Roman trattoria has been feeding the neighborhood on quinto quarto, the offal cuts that Testaccio made its own, for what feels like forever. The wine cellar runs deep and the service carries the quiet confidence of six generations. The bucatini all'amatriciana, ranked among Italy's finest, arrives with extra pecorino on the side, unprompted, as it should.

Bucatini all'amatriciana
“A special mention goes to the bucatini all’amatriciana: perfectly cooked pasta, rich and flavorful sauce, with the tomato expertly tamed by the delicious fat of the guanciale.”
