Roman cuisine

Cacio e pepe

Roman cuisine refers to the traditional cooking style and dishes of Rome, Italy, characterized by simple preparations using local ingredients like pasta, offal, cured pork, and pecorino cheese.

Classic dishes include cacio e pepe, carbonara, amatriciana, and coda alla vaccinara (oxtail stew).

The cuisine reflects Rome's history as a working-class city where frugal cuts and bold flavors prevailed.

We ordered the classic Roman cuisine at the trattoria near the Pantheon.
