Perfectly placed for a post-catacombs lunch, this is one of Rome's few remaining countryside trattorie where entire extended families gather for Sunday lunch under masses of wisteria—some of the vines 300 years old (though the restaurant is a mere pup; it opened in 1890).

This garden seating extends back from the original roadside inn, with its tightly spaced tables under cozy wood-beam ceilings and painting-covered walls.

Kick off with bucatini all'Amatriciana, gnocchi al cinghiale (homemade gnocchi in a hearty tomato sauce enriched with chunks of wild boar), or rigatoni al cuore di carciofo (pasta with artichoke hearts). Secondi are simple, often grilled meats, and include bistecca di manzo all griglia (grilled steak) and a good abbacchio alla scottaditto.
