Trattoria Pennestri

"Trattoria Pennestri is one of the places recommended by The MICHELIN Guide for trying local Roman specialties." - The MICHELIN Guide

"A restaurant in Rome where you can tuck into excellent pasta dishes." - The MICHELIN Guide

"Trattoria Pennestri is in Ostiense, a modern residential neighborhood outside of Rome’s historic center where you can find more street art and apartment blocks than fountains and cobblestones. The menu includes classics like carbonara, amatriciana, and cacio e pepe, as well as less traditional dishes, like the decidedly un-Roman seared duck breast with different seasonal sauces. For dessert, try the chocolate mousse that’s served with pane carasau, rosemary, and sea salt. Come here for a weekend lunch on the patio under the umbrellas, or for a candlelight dinner in the romantic dining room." - gillian mcguire, annie replogle

"An authentic neighbourhood trattoria with just one difference – it is so good that its fame has travelled far beyond the streets of Ostiense in which it is situated and so it is often crowded (as a result, booking is highly recommended). The atmosphere is simple, informal and attractive, while the cuisine focuses on Roman classics such as pasta with carbonara, cacio e pepe, amatriciana and gricia sauces, alongside a few more creative dishes." - Michelin Inspector
