In the 1950s Andrea Pandolfi emigrated to Rome from the Abruzzi mountain town of Amatrice—the place that gave the world amatriciana, that piquant sauce of tomatoes and guanciale bacon. Although his restaurant is now managed by son Marco, little else has changed in more than 40 years at this classic trattoria.

The cookery is still Abruzzese and still rigorously fresh in the casalinga (home cooking) tradition. Bow-tied waiters serve excellent bucatini amatriciana (of course), as well as tonnarelli abruzzi (fresh egg pasta with mushrooms, prosciutto, peas, and tomatoes), and exquisite gnocchi (traditionally on Thursdays).

First, however, head over to the antipasto table to load a plate down with zucchini frittata, grilled eggplant, and stuffed tomatoes. For secondo, try the abbacchio arrosto con patate (roast lamb and potatoes), maialino al forno (baked suckling pig), or fresh fish.
