"I like that this small place serves very simple, farm-to-table Roman trattoria food and isn’t a scene—people from the neighborhood go there. I’ll sometimes go by myself and I always go for brunch; I love the feeling of camaraderie and connection, and I love the amatriciana so much that I put it in my cookbook because it’s a simple dish with nowhere to hide." - Padma Lakshmi
