A family-run Monti trattoria steps from Trajan's Market, serving straightforward Roman food in a small, crowded room. The pasta e fagioli, cacio e pepe, and abbacchio al forno (roast lamb) are consistently good. Very popular with both locals and informed visitors — book ahead, especially for weekend dinner. Elizabeth Minchilli's go-to recommendation for the neighbourhood. The location, at the edge of the Imperial Forums, makes it a natural end to an afternoon of sightseeing.
