Trattoria Da Enzo al 29

Une minuscule trattoria du Trastevere devant laquelle la file d'attente s'étire dans la rue pour la trinité romaine — cacio e pepe, carbonara et amatriciana, toutes préparées dans les règles de l'art. Pas de réservation, pas de raccourci, pas de regret.

No reservations means the only real strategy is timing: the kitchen opens for lunch at 12:45 and dinner at 19:45, and arriving right at either time is the difference between a short wait and an hour queuing down the street once word gets around. The dining room seats only a few dozen, which is exactly what keeps the kitchen consistent — there's no version of this place that scales up without losing what makes it good.
