25 Iconic Dishes That Define Rome - Rome - The Infatuation
"La Tavernaccia Da Bruno in Trastevere serves comfort food so good, you simply won’t want to leave. Their trippa, most days, is slow-braised in sweet tomatoes, dashed with mint, and blanketed in pecorino, but in the fall it’s served with a silky mashed squash puree seasoned with garlic, herbs, and olive oil. We love Tavernaccia’s preparation because it’s perfectly cooked (yes, even tripe deserves to be al dente), and always coated in a lip-smacking sauce." - annie replogle
"Come to this cozy spot deep in Trastevere for the offal-intensive menu by the feisty chef Alessandra Ruggeri. She will serve you exemplary trippa (aka tripe), whether crisp-fried or stewed alla romana, as well as lesser-known dishes from Lazio’s Viterbo region, like a menestra of curly chicory cooked until tender with bread and potatoes." - Atlas Obscura
"One of the best places in Rome in which to sample the cuisine of Lazio, this restaurant is renowned across the globe for its generous portions of carefully prepared, regional specialities. In addition to the tripe referenced in the restaurant’s name, you’ll also find dishes such as artichokes alla giudia, coratella (lamb offal) and pastas served with the most famous local sauces (amatriciana, carbonara and cacio e pepe) on the menu. Truly delicious!" - Michelin Inspector
Came here to try their famous tripe and ended up trying tendon salad. Had the best carbonara here and beef heart carpaccio.
Very creative dishes and an excellent wine list.

Food was delicious and the owner and staff were friendly and welcoming! Was wonderful to have some slightly more obscure local dishes. The tripe pasta was incredible and the lamb heart and kidney stew was really good!

Excellent antipasto (carpaccio di cuore) and great pasta alla carbonara. I also tried the brasato which was exceptionally good. Tiramisù was so good I decided to take another one.

Everything’s tasted incredible the entries and the pasta was so good, great sauces and wine as well, server was kind enough to recommend some amaros after our meal and the dessert tasted great as well, would improve the seats outside, other than that we had a wonderful experience

The appetizers felt a bit inconsistent. The gazpacho had a really beautiful plating, but sadly were just not for me, while the other felt very barebones. The ravioli and meatballs on the other hand was amazing, as was the tiramisu. Sadly there were just to many inconsistencies to give it a 5/5.

Fantastic dinner, with the owner welcoming us and a friendly staff! We went for one of the specials of the day, some tasty snails in tomato sauce, followed by an impeccable cacio e pepe & carbonara! Great cocktails too, and the place is tucked away at the border of Trastevere, highly recommend!

Charming osteria with great food and ambiance! The chef / owner truly captures the atmosphere of an authentic osteria. Della Trippa is an osteria it’s not a ristorante or trattoria!
I ordered the vegetarian chicory soup with bread and egg. The egg is shaved over the top of the soup. The broth is delicate and savory balanced with the heartiness of the bread and potato in the soup. Definitely a peasant dish but executed with a chef’s creativity.
For pasta the cacio e pepe was perfect. Creamy sauce without heavy cream it coated the pasta with the right amount of pecorino and black pepper.
The owner is friendly and warm and the staff is attentive! I highly recommend this place!

Good Roman food overall.
I had the amatriciana, which was tasty and well prepared.
The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the service was smooth.
The atmosphere was nothing special, simple and without many frills.
I’m not giving 5 stars only because the prices are slightly high for what you get.
Still, a good place for solid Roman cuisine.
