Roman cooking is simple and hearty: carbonara, cacio e pepe, amatriciana and gricia. Neighborhood trattorias and markets are the best bets.
Local dishes
- Spaghetti alla carbonara – Made with egg, pecorino and guanciale, never cream.
- Cacio e pepe – Just pecorino, black pepper and pasta.
- Saltimbocca alla romana – Veal with prosciutto and sage, cooked in white wine.
- Carciofi alla giudia – Crispy fried artichokes from the old Jewish Ghetto.
Must-try
- Suppli – Fried rice croquettes with a molten mozzarella heart.
- Bucatini all'amatriciana – Bucatini in tomato, guanciale and pecorino sauce.
- Coda alla vaccinara – Testaccio's slow-braised oxtail stew in tomato.
- Gelato – Natural-ingredient Italian ice cream; pick small gelaterie.
Street food spots
- Pizza al taglio – Rectangular pizza cut to order and sold by weight.
- Trapizzino – Pizza-bread pocket stuffed with stews like oxtail or meatballs.
- Porchetta panino – Herby roast pork in crusty bread, a quick lunch.
