Set in a 16th-century former stable, this family-run trattoria has been feeding hungry travellers along the Appian Way for more than a hundred years, serving up traditional cucina Romana – gutsy platefuls of spaghetti laced in carbonara, amatriciana (pig's cheek with onions and tomato) and cacio e pepe (cheese and pepper). The tiramisu wins plaudits. The dining room is all simplicity.
