Osteria La Quercia - Review - Regola - Rome - The Infatuation

"Although it’s smack dab in the city center, Osteria La Quercia is hidden away on one of Rome’s smallest, quietest piazzas that even the pigeons haven’t found yet. Their glossy cacio e pepe comes with thick, chewy strands of tonnarelli dressed with some especially pepper-packed pecorino romano. They also make a flawless amatriciana tossed with tubes of mezze maniche, which serve as perfect vessels for delivering all that rich sauce in every bite. Their special pastas are good too, like the spaghetti alla nerano that’s loaded with provolone del monaco and meltingly tender zucchini slices. And don’t miss their tiramisù that’s layered with crunchy bits of chocolate biscotti." - Annie Replogle
