What to order

Supplì 'al telefono' — Dandini's rendition is famous enough that he spun off a whole fry shop (Supplizio) around it
Carbonara with half-ziti, and the Roman pastas — the kitchen's refined-trattoria core, executed with real polish
Trippa alla romana with mint and pecorino — a proper Roman offal classic for the curious
Treating it like a budget trattoria — the prices reflect the ambition — come for a treat
