Flavio al Velavevodetto
If you are will ing to get off the beaten path to eat some fancy Roman cuisine, this placeis for you. Wepromise it will be worth the walk/ride with the subway/paying a taxi. Located far from the city center, this restaurant is huge, but chances are it will still be crowded. Romans just love this restaurant! There are two floors, dining rooms inside and outside, and everything is carved into a hill.
Food: Traditional Italian food is what you will get, but everything is home made and they are proud of their pasta and wine from the house. Our recommendation: Raviolo al la Velavevodetto. Home made pasta with ricotta cheese, basil, Roman mint, thyme, oregano and marjoram, cold creaming with ricotta salad. Sounds yummy, right?
