Bianca Trattoria

Tucked away in Rome’s Cipro neighborhood, Bianca Trattoria is the kind of restaurant you need to seek out intentionally. This isn’t a place you stumble upon while wandering the tourist-heavy streets—it’s a destination for those who know that some of the city’s finest pasta awaits behind its doors.

The star of the show here is undoubtedly the gricia. Picture perfectly cooked rigatoni enveloped in a lusciously peppery pecorino sauce, topped with impossibly crispy matchstick-cut guanciale that strikes an ideal balance between meat and fat. A generous shower of additional pecorino finishes each plate, creating layers of salty, savory bliss. During spring, the kitchen takes this Roman classic up a notch by folding in fresh fava beans—a nod to the traditional pecorino and fava pairing that brings welcome brightness to the rich dish.

The wine list leans heavily into Lazio’s local offerings, making it easy to find the perfect regional pairing for your meal. The casual atmosphere makes this an excellent choice whether you’re grabbing lunch, enjoying a relaxed dinner, or bringing family along for a memorable Italian meal.

Come hungry and ready to experience Roman pasta the way it should be done. Bianca Trattoria delivers authentic flavors without pretension, proving that sometimes the best dining experiences are found in neighborhood spots away from the crowds.
