Checchino Dal 1887 In Roma

great experience after the Roma2025 marathon recover some calories with Fagioli e cotiche preceded by various Bruschette closing everything with one of the best Tiramisu I have ever eaten to try

We chose to end our trip to Rome with an authentic experience, far from the usual tourist circuits, to immerse ourselves in the true Roman culinary tradition, the one that is too often forgotten. For this reason, we relied on Checchino, a restaurant that not only offers the great classics such as gricia and cacio e pepe, but also preserves and passes on with passion dishes that tell the gastronomic history of the city. Here, food is more than just a meal: it is culture, memory and courage. Not everyone is used to tasting pajata, the appetizer with head, beans with pork rinds, tripe or trotters, but those who truly love cooking should allow themselves the pleasure of overcoming every preconception and savoring the depth of these ancient flavors. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with wood burning in the fireplace and discreet and impeccable service. We chose a half portion of gricia, one of macaroni with ragù alla vaccinara, a Roman-style artichoke prepared with mastery, artichokes with coratella and an incredible pajata. All accompanied by half a liter of Syrah, two coffees and a bottle of water, for a bill of less than 30 euros per person. An experience that we recommend to those who truly want to understand the soul of Roman cuisine, without fear or hesitation. A sincere thank you to the owners, who with dedication and respect for tradition carry on a job that is perhaps not always easy to understand, but essential to keep the authentic gastronomic history of the city alive.

Fantastic environment and professional and friendly staff. It's true that it seems like you're going back in time but not to 1887 (the year Checchino was born) but to the 60s/80s, that is, in an era in which catering was a serious and professional thing and not improvised. As far as food is concerned, however, the journey through time goes even further, because at Checchino there is not the usual Roman menu for tourists but a Roman menu, of a Rome that has disappeared. I had the roast of offal which was fantastic in terms of quality of raw materials and cooking, I really felt like I was reliving the world of Testaccio people who gravitate around the slaughterhouse. My wife, always classic, had a delicious and spicy amatriciana at the right point. The range of bruschettas (particularly the tripe and chicory ones) are beautiful to look at and good to eat. The cabbage with fennel revealed a homemade flavor from many years ago. Finally, the stracciatella cake which reminded me so much of my mother that I sent her the photo. In short, at Checchino it is a journey through delicious flavours, which tickles your childhood memories and this, recalling Proust, happens when cooking becomes emotion and the taste makes a day pleasant. I will also return to try the fifth quarter starter which my wife didn't want to share, preferring the bruschetta, but this morning I woke up thinking about "him". SUPERB

Historic place where you can enjoy true Roman cuisine made of traditions, pasta carbonara, rigatoni with pajata, amazing oxtails!!!

A Roman trattoria like many others, perhaps a little more elegant. The rigatoni with pajata, which was the reason I went there, because I had never eaten them, disappointed me.

Exceptionally delicious traditional roman food and very professional and friendly service. This place is a must go place if you want to experience high quality traditional roman dining. Reserve ahead.
