"Armando al Pantheon serves the best amatriciana in the city. Their signature sauce, perfected over six decades, has the perfect punch of meaty guanciale, which gets caught in every mouthful of rigatoni alongside perfectly-crisp bits of pork cheek. The creamy carbonara also shares this same guanciale crunch, showered with pecorino on top. Does the pasta taste even better when you snag a table in view of the Pantheon? Absolutely. Just make sure to book your visit in advance—Armando al Pantheon is closed on Sundays and remains one of the toughest reservations to get last minute." - Annie Replogle
