Don't trust google reviews in Roma - except for this one
This is not a restaurant, this is a craft shop specializing in handmade pasta, and they are incredible at it. In terms of value for money, this is the best pasta I've had in Italy, and some of the best on value alone, competitive with and often clearly superior to much more expensive/fancy sit down trattoria and tavernaccia. Out of about a dozen times eating Roman pasta over two trips, there is only one restaurant as good or better than this one (they also make their pasta in house), and that one is about 60% more expensive. The tonnarelli is absolutely exquisite. The interior is relaxed and casual, the staff is helpful and friendly, and the food is superb while being incredibly affordable for fairly large portions. You could serve this in new York with white tablecloths and pretentious wines and charge 4x the price and no one would bat an eye. This is my go to for a budget friendly, no frills authentic pasta experience. In my opinion this is a must try for anyone in Rome that wants top quality fresh pasta.
My pappardelle was well prepared, chewy and coated with a rich pork and tomato sauce. A side of shredded and dressed white cabbage was a crunchy accompaniment.
Also some fresh from the oven crusty bread was perfect for collecting the last of the sauce.
Very reasonable prices, lovely staff who have the patience of the saints in dealing with confused tourists from all over the world.
