Perfect for
Bianca Trattoria isn’t the place you accidentally wander into on a whim. Nope, you’re gonna hail a cab, show up hungry, and demolish their delicious pasta, starting with the gricia. Rigatoni is coated in a peppery pecorino sauce, crowned with crispy matchstick strips of pork cheek that hit the perfect meat-to-fat ratio, and finished off with a generous sprinkle of more pecorino. If you’re coming in the spring, they add fava beans to their gricia, paying tribute to the classic pecorino and fava pairing and bringing a nice burst of freshness. Pair it with one of their many local wines from Lazio for the full experience.

Come to Pecorino in Testaccio for lunch where you can banter with the waiters while ordering some creamy carbonara.
Sit on the patio and eat some gnocchi alle vongole at Roma Sparita, a great lunch spot in Trastevere.
