3 roman restaurants worth the trip across Italy, editor-ranked. All cuisines in Italy.

Clotilde ★ 4.0

€€€RomanCentro StoricoRome

Clotilde in Rome's Centro Storico is Clemente Quaglia's 1996 dining room near Piazza Cardelli, where Roman and Ciociaria cooking share the menu with seafood.

OrderCacio e pepe with fried courgette, then the alici abbottonate from the sea side of the menu.

TipClosed Monday and Tuesday lunch. The owner named the place for his mother; ask for the Ciociaria dishes.

La Pentolaccia ★ 3.7

€€RomanEsquilinoRome

La Pentolaccia in Rome's Castro Pretorio quarter is a Via Flavia trattoria cooking Roman meat dishes and fresh fish, open every day with no closing day.

OrderCarbonara or tonnarelli cacio e pepe first, then whichever fresh fish is on the board that day.

TipOpen daily 12:00-15:00 and 17:30-23:00, so it takes the early dinner most Roman kitchens refuse. Near Termini and Via XX Settembre.

Tiberino ★ 3.7

€€RomanTrastevereRome

Tiberino in Rome's Isola Tiberina is the family bar and restaurant run since 1936 on Ponte Quattro Capi, serving Roman plates from breakfast to a late drink.

OrderRavioli alla gricia and the uovo barzotto with pecorino cream and crisp guanciale.

TipMonday and Sunday close at 16:30; Tuesday to Saturday runs until midnight. The tables on the bridge are the draw.
