Roscioli

Salumeria, enoteca e ristorante insieme — un bancone di marmo carico di salumi e formaggi all’ingresso, e dietro una cucina seria che sforna la carbonara che molti romani considerano definitiva. Per cena si prenota con due settimane d’anticipo.

The front room — deli counter piled with salumi, cheese, and bottles — operates more casually and doesn't always need advance booking; it's the sit-down dinner tables in back that sell out two weeks ahead. If you can't get a dinner reservation, a lunchtime visit or standing at the counter for a plate of salumi is a genuine alternative, not a consolation prize.
