    Trippa alla romana and fried brain share the menu with carbonara and amatriciana at this no-frills trattoria near the Vatican, where the pasta comes in a notably generous pour and the kitchen doesn't stray far from Lazio tradition. The room is simple to the point of looking accidental, which is precisely the point. The Michelin Guide gave it a Bib Gourmand, and locals who could walk here fill the seats alongside tourists who found it on purpose.

    How we score

    The dishes from the writeups

    • Trippa alla romana

      “Here the offal takes centre stage – from fried brain to trippa alla romana – alongside the classic pasta dishes of amatriciana and carbonara”

      Michelin Guide
    • Carbonara

      “The menu skips pizza pockets entirely, focusing instead on Roman classics like ultra-creamy carbonara topped with expertly crispy strips of guanciale”

      The Infatuation
    • Pollo alla cacciatora

      “as well as pollo alla cacciatora, which consists of chicken simmered slowly with wine, garlic, rosemary, and “magic” (yes, this is a real ingredient, according to their menu)”

      The Infatuation
    • Saltimbocca alla romana

      “saltimbocca alla romana, pollo alla cacciatora and the traditional ricotta and sour cherry tart”

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
