Trattoria da Nanni

TrastevereRome

8.7

Two rooms off a Trastevere side lane doing the Roman quartet — carbonara, gricia, amatriciana, cacio e pepe — plus trippa on Saturdays for the committed. The carbonara arrives properly glossy, no cream within a hundred meters. They don't take bookings after 8pm, the service is affectionate-gruff, and if you order a cappuccino after dinner Nanni will bring it while looking at you with real sorrow.

Order this

  • Carbonara
  • Carciofi alla giudia (season)
  • Trippa alla romana (Saturday)
  • Tiramisù

The dishes reviewers keep coming back for. Ordering off-list is on you.
