Rimessa Roscioli

Tucked away in Rome’s atmospheric Regola neighborhood, Rimessa Roscioli is the more relaxed sibling of the city’s legendary Roscioli restaurant. Part of a culinary empire that has earned devotion from locals and travelers alike, this spot offers the same impeccable quality without the usual chaos of trying to snag a table at the original location.

The real draw here is the pasta—particularly their cacio e pepe, which rivals the best in a city famous for this deceptively simple dish. Each plate arrives with the perfect balance of sharp pecorino and aromatic black pepper, silky sauce clinging to every strand. For wine lovers, Rimessa hosts twice-nightly guided tastings that transform dinner into a social event where you might find yourself chatting with fellow travelers and making unexpected connections over glasses of ribolla gialla.

What sets Rimessa apart is the atmosphere. Unlike the tight quarters at the original Roscioli, there’s room to breathe here. On pleasant evenings, you can even head to their rooftop terrace at the Palazzo Nainer Hotel, sipping wine while gazing at Rome’s historic skyline. Whether you’re dining solo, treating your parents to a memorable meal, or planning a romantic evening, the combination of outstanding food and welcoming vibes makes it easy to linger.

For anyone who’s struggled to book a table at the original Roscioli or simply prefers a more relaxed dining experience, Rimessa is the answer you’ve been looking for. All the culinary excellence, none of the stress.
