Trattoria il Tettarello In Roma

04/01/2025: Authentic Roman food at very reasonable prices. Very big portions so don’t make the mistake of having aperitivo before coming here , like we did. Warm relaxed atmosphere in a central but not overly crowded district in Rome.

03/01/2025: Note: I'm a tourist, but I research/read a lot about food/different cuisines and appreciate good food. I write notes on what I intend to eat and what I've eaten. Service/staff: friendly and attentive. Asked us if we wanted our pastas staggered or if we wanted it all at once. Just treated us like any other customer. Food: delicious Roman cuisine. We tried the amatriciana, their version of alla gricia (with orange peel), cacio e pepe, and veal pan seared with ham and sage. All 4 were great dishes. This was 1 of my favorite dining experiences and foods in Rome. Amatriciana was my favorite of the 3 pasta dishes followed by the alla gricia with orange peel. Amatriciana was a pecorino, guanciale, and tomato pasta dish. You get the nutty notes from the pecorino along with acidity and richness from the guanciale with acidity from the tomato. While the alla gricia had a the same base minus the tomato, but with the addition of citrus from the orange zest. Atmosphere: down to earth and honey atmosphere If I am back in Rome in the future, I will be going here once more. Would recommend calling to make reservations. We were luckily able to get a walk in on Thursday night.
