Piatto Romano

A family restaurant in Testaccio where large Italian families gather for Sunday celebrations and everyday get-togethers. The menu is uncompromising Roman: carbonara, amatriciana, cacio e pepe, and offal dishes from the neighbourhood's slaughterhouse tradition. Portions are generous, the atmosphere is loud and convivial, and the prices are honest. It is close to the Porta Portese flea market, making it a natural post-shopping lunch stop. The owners treat everyone like a returning regular, which most of the clientele actually are.
