5281 views
What is a must-do when you come to Rome? First, of course, to try local food and especially Roman pasta! Many restaurants, tavernas, and osterias offer high-quality pasta plates, but let’s talk about the best places.
- This list is based on my 9 years experience of living in Rome and endless love of local Italian pasta:
Contents
Trattoria Da Teo
Trattoria Da Teo is one of the legendary places in Trastevere Neighborhood, and every local knows about this restaurant. This trattoria offers a variety from seafood to typical Roman dishes to meat, cheese, and salami goodness, allowing customers to find specialties that fully satisfy every taste preference. Meat, seafood, and tuna are cooked in many different ways and used to flavor delicious first courses made with fresh handmade pasta.
- Address: Piazza dei Ponziani, 7A, 00153

Roma Sparita
Roma Sparita gives you a chance to have a unique Roman experience, where all dishes are local, the atmosphere is impressive, and you will meet primarily locals rather than tourists. It is mandatory to make a reservation at least 2 days in advance since there are always many guests in the restaurant. Roma Sparita is famous for its Cacio e Pepe pasta, one of the leading traditional Roman plates.

Nonna Betta
Nonna Betta is a kosher-style restaurant with 2 separate menus. Respecting the Judaic Talmud rule that forbids mixing meat with dairy – a verse of the Torah says, “Do not cook a kid in its mother’s milk” – at Nonna Betta, dishes can be chosen from two separate menus: one featuring meat dishes, and one featuring fish or cheese. Moreover, even modern nutrition suggests not mixing meat, protein, and dairy.
The Jewish Ghetto is famous for its kosher dishes and typical Roman plates, especially artichokes (pasta with artichokes is also excellent). In this place, immersed in a relaxed and welcoming setting, you can relive the stories of the Ghetto and perhaps find answers to questions you “never dared to ask” regarding the Jewish culture, religion, or the 2000-year-old presence of Jews in Rome.

Hosteria dei Numeri Primi

The Hosteria dei Numeri Primi is the project of chef Stefano Dominici.

The Hosteria reflects the style of modern Trastevere with a refined and minimalist, trendy atmosphere linked to the cornerstones of the style that has always characterized the Trastevere charm. Besides typical Roman pasta dishes, you will find more creative and modern recipes of pasta that are so delicious!

Pimms Good
Pimm’s Good is always on my list of places to eat the most delicious pasta. It has a fantastic location right in the heart of Trastevere district. Moreover, it is famous for its high-quality cocktails and aperitivo. I’d say this is where all dishes are tasty, so don’t be afraid to make a wrong choice, you will like the food, I promise. Considering pasta, I recommend you to try Carbonara or Spaghetti all amatriciana. I only go to Pimm’s for lunch or dinner when I have free time. Also, try their cheesecake and tiramisu! Making a reservation in advance is not mandatory.
