Romanè

Tucked away on Via Cipro in Rome’s elegant Prati neighborhood, Romanè offers a more polished dining experience from the same creative minds behind the beloved Trapizzino. This is where you come when you want to slow down and savor traditional Roman cooking in a proper sit-down setting, leaving the casual street food vibes behind for something a bit more refined.

The kitchen here knows its way around Roman classics, and the carbonara alone is worth the visit. Rigatoni arrives swimming in an impossibly silky sauce of egg and pecorino, each tube hiding pools of that rich, cheesy goodness, with shards of perfectly rendered guanciale adding just the right amount of salty crunch. Equally impressive are the fettuccine with rigaglie di pollo—thick, hand-cut ribbons of pasta tangled with tender chicken innards that have been coaxed into tenderness through slow simmering with tomatoes and fresh herbs.

The experience here suits those looking for a reliable neighborhood spot with substance. Whether you’re meeting the parents or simply craving a meal where someone else sets the table, Romanè delivers without pretension. Grab a seat on the terrace when weather permits, and let the rhythm of Roman dining take over.

Don’t leave without trying the tiramisù, which puts a playful spin on the classic by swapping soft ladyfingers for crunchy Gentilini biscuits. It’s a small detail that speaks to the kitchen’s willingness to honor tradition while adding their own signature touch—and a fitting end to a meal that celebrates the best of Roman hospitality.
