Roman classics like carbonara, cacio e pepe, and tiramisu
"Near the Vatican, Romanè — the modern Roman restaurant from Stefano Callegari of Trapizzino fame — offers more gluten-free options, including a standout rigatoni all’amatriciana, delightfully bitter cicoria, a plethora of vegetable dishes, and a delicately braised artichoke humming with mint." - Luke Pyenson
"Romanè is the sit-down restaurant owned by the same team behind Trapizzino. Unlike its counterpart, this is the spot for a more formal dinner, as their tables are lined with lace paper placemats and hand-painted ceramic plates hang on the walls. The menu skips pizza pockets entirely, focusing instead on Roman classics like ultra-creamy carbonara topped with expertly crispy strips of guanciale, as well as pollo alla cacciatora, which consists of chicken simmered slowly with wine, garlic, rosemary, and “magic” (yes, this is a real ingredient, according to their menu). And it’s so good, we can’t help but believe them. They also have an excellent wine list, featuring some great organic and biodynamic bottles from all over Italy." - annie replogle
"Romanè is the sit-down restaurant owned by the same team behind Trapizzino. Unlike its counterpart, this is the spot for a more formal dinner, and the menu skips pizza pockets entirely, focusing instead on Roman classics. Their ultra-creamy carbonara features rigatoni set in a velvety pool of cheesy egg, crowned with expertly crispy strips of guanciale. Another must-order is the plate of thick and chewy ribbons of fettuccine tangled with rigaglie di pollo—luscious chicken innards slowly simmered in a tomato sauce with herbs. Your meal here is not complete until you’ve tried their tiramisù, dotted with crunchy Gentilini biscuits instead of the usual soft ladyfingers." - annie replogle
"Celebrated for local cuisine and named one of the city’s best Bib Gourmands, it’s popular with both Romans and visitors—booking ahead is wise." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Situated close to the Vatican, this is one of the best trattorias in Rome, with simple decor and just one, usually very busy, dining room (booking ahead is recommended), as well as delicious cuisine from Lazio. Dishes include artichokes (both Roman- and Jewish-style), pasta with rich local sauces, offal specialities (“quinto quarto”), and delicious roast meats among the main courses. For dessert, we recommend the chocolate “tenerina” cake or the ricotta with sour cherries." - Michelin Inspector
