Trattoria Pennestri

Top choice in Southern Rome


Headed by a Danish-Italian chef Tommaso Pennestri, this mellow trattoria pays its respects to staunch Roman classics (think carbonara and tripe) but is at its best when dishing out bright, bold comfort food, such as gnocchi tumbled with prawns and stracciatella cheese or suckling pig glazed in juniper with apple chutney. Save room for the heavenly chocolate and rosemary mousse.
