Il Melarancio In Roma

13/05/2026: I visited L'Osteria della Trippa in Trastevere, and I must say the experience left me with mixed feelings, even though overall I ate really well. The place has the atmosphere of a modern Roman osteria, well-maintained but not overly formal. As soon as you enter, you immediately notice the attention to traditional cuisine, featuring typical Roman dishes prepared just right. I had a carbonara and Roman-style tripe: the carbonara was creamy, flavorful, and made with quality ingredients, while the tripe was definitely the highlight, tender and well-seasoned. The supplì were also very good. The portions are generous, and you can taste the cuisine's uncompromising focus on tradition. The service was friendly and fairly quick, though a bit rushed at times. The place was packed, and you could feel the lively atmosphere typical of Roman trattorias. However, a few details did put me off: the tables were very basic, with no tablecloths or placemats, and the prices were slightly above average for an osteria. A carbonara at those prices inevitably raises very high expectations. Overall, however, the quality of the food is evident, and I understand why it's so highly recommended by so many Roman cuisine enthusiasts. It's not your typical, basic, cheap trattoria: you pay a little more here, but the food is good, made with top-quality ingredients. I'd return, especially for the tripe and the authentic Trastevere atmosphere.
