⭐️ If you want to know where to go for some of the best pasta dishes in Rome without being overwhelmed by the choices, then grab this guide!
In Rome, every corner boasts a trattoria, ostaria, or ristorante flaunting its cacio e pepe or carbonara and many of these eateries (especially in the centro storico) aim to capitalize on tourists' unfamiliar tastes, lack of experience in the city, and a quest for convenience.
Unfortunately, this often results in higher prices, the use of subpar, less fresh ingredients, and shortcuts in cooking methods.
It's overwhelming to sift through all the options, and tourist traps can make it difficult to find the places that are serving up the most authentic dishes.
When you just want to confidently walk into a restaurant knowing that the meal will be spectacular without putting in hours of research, look no further than this guide.
I've compiled a hit list of restaurants serving up the best traditional Roman pasta dishes, and you won't be disappointed.
Having eaten A LOT of pasta in Rome, I can confidently say that these are the best. You can't go wrong at any of these places so book away!
Featuring:
🍝Carefully researched recommendations based on quality, atmosphere, and overall experience.
🍝Where to find them, plus direct links to their address on Google Maps
🍝Description and details on each of the four traditional Roman pasta dishes to help turn you into a pasta pro (if you aren't already).
🍝Personal recommendations on which pasta to order at each restaurant, based on experience. (It is also 100% ok to order all four at each place, which I have done plenty of times)

⭐️This guide is also great because you can plan your meals around what you would like to eat and when. You might want cacio e pepe one night but need to make sure you also plan for a plate of amatriciana another night.
⭐️Side note: If you need help making reservations at a restaurant that does not offer online booking (many do not), schedule a private consultation call with me for the best way to do so via phone!*
