La Tavernaccia

Top choice in Trastevere & Gianicolo


This family-run neighbourhood trattoria bustles every minute it's open. The setting is simplicity itself, and the Roman classics that dominate the menu are given stellar treatment (the pastas, eggplant parmigiana and roast suckling pig are all notable). Staff are cheery and helpful.
