Trattoria Lilli

A genuinely hidden trattoria near Piazza Navona that you are unlikely to find by wandering — there is no street-facing sign, no tout, no menu posted outside. Inside, it is checkered tablecloths, hand-written daily specials, and a kitchen that has been turning out Roman classics for decades without chasing trends or tourist attention. The cacio e pepe is made tableside in a pecorino wheel. The artichoke dishes change with the season. It fills with neighbourhood regulars at lunch, Italian families at dinner, and the occasional in-the-know visitor who was told about it by someone who lives here.
