For your visit to the magical Roman district of Trastevere, here are three tips to savor the true culinary tradition of the capital.
When you think of Rome, the first things that come to mind are undoubtedly the magnificent Colosseum, the famous fountains and squares of the city, San Pietro and its splendid colonnade.
That's the way it is for me too, but my immediately following thought is: "Carbonara".
In any case, it would be an understatement to summarize all the excellent Roman cuisine in a single dish, in fact it is not my intention to do so.
Today, however, I am here to advise you three places where you can give your taste buds a gift in one of my favorite neighborhoods of the city, that is Trastevere.
1. Tonnarello (Via della Paglia, 1)
You will certainly remember this place, especially for the pasta dishes that will be delivered to you in beautiful pans. This will also make you imagine the amount of food you will eat, you will not leave Tonnarello hungry!
Here I tasted what it was for me the best carbonara tried so far, anticipated by artichokes alla giudia to say the least fabulous.
Do not be discouraged should there be a queue to sit down, it is worth it, the restaurant in addition to the numerous outdoor tables, also has many inside and upstairs, so you will not wait for long.
2. Red Shadows (Piazza Sant'Egidio, 12-13)
Live music, beer, wine and great food are the basic ingredients of Ombre Rosse.
Here I tried for the first time the grip and I was thrilled! Considered the ancestor of pizza, pinsa is a kind of crunchy focaccia, stuffed internally or externally.
If you are not in the mood for pinsa, know that Ombre Rosse also offers excellent homemade pasta dishes and delicious burger proposals. At the end of the meal let yourself be teased by shortbread that will be offered to you.
The staff deserves special praise for their friendliness and friendliness that will make you feel welcome.
3. Nannarella (Piazza San Callisto, 7A)
Last stage of your little one culinary journey in Trastevere; you can't come to Nannarella without trying the tonnarelli with cheese and pepper. A delicacy not to be missed if you want to go to Rome and try one of the authentic traditional Roman dishes.
Abundant quantities, excellent quality and a kind staff that welcomes you make you want to come back soon to taste the whole menu.
I cannot consider myself an expert in the Roman tradition in cooking, but I can tell you that in these places I have always eaten very well, I felt welcomed and I found sympathy and excellent food. L'Trastevere atmosphere then it will do the rest, with its picturesque streets and colors. I have recently returned from my week in the capital and the desire to return soon is very strong.
