"Agustarello is something of an institution in Testaccio, a former slaughterhouse district that's now one of Rome's edgiest neighborhoods. You'll jostle for elbow room with hungry locals to get a table—but that’s part of the fun. Like the best Roman restaurants, dining here is so much more than a meal: It’s about comfort, a reassuringly traditional menu, and company. Don't be surprised if you make friends with the table next to you." - Maresa Manara


"Listed for excellent examples of Rome’s hallmark pastas, serving traditional preparations that emphasize pecorino, guanciale, and simple, seasonal ingredients." - Giancarlo Buonomo
Roasted or grilled pajata at Armando al Pantheon or Agustarello isn’t for everyone, but these places do it right.
