Trattoria Monti

Cucina di famiglia che porta in tavola le Marche accanto ai classici romani — i fritti e la pasta tirata a mano tengono fedele una clientela di romani che non si lamenta dell’attesa, a due passi da piazza Vittorio.

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.
