Trattoria Monti

Trattoria Monti: reserva por teléfono con unos días de antelación — esta cocina familiar de las Marcas cerca de Piazza Vittorio es tan popular entre los romanos que quien llega sin reserva a menudo se queda sin mesa. Pasta cortada a mano y clásicos fritos que merecen la planificación.

The cuisine here is specifically from Le Marche, the region east of Rome on the Adriatic coast, rather than purely Roman — expect more stuffed pasta and fried starters than the cacio e pepe/carbonara rotation found elsewhere in the city. It's closed Mondays and a short walk from Termini station, which makes it a useful first or last meal in Rome if you're arriving or leaving by train.
