Felice a Testaccio

The dining room of Felice a Testaccio.

Via Mastro Giorgio, 29, 00153 Roma RM, Italy

Although Rome is known for amatriciana and carbonara, its crowning glory is undoubtedly its tonnarelli with cacio e pepe—thick, square-shaped spaghetti topped with pecorino, black pepper, and olive oil. And Romans will tell you that the place to have it is Felice a Testaccio, a charming trattoria tucked away on an unassuming block in Testaccio. The restaurant, which first opened its doors in 1936, features checkered floors, white tablecloths, and brick walls. —Elena Clavarino
