Antica Trattoria del Falcone

Tivoli


This unpretentious trattoria near Villa d'Este lures in strolling visitors as they wander in to Tivoli's historic centre. There are pizzas but the speciality of the house is its old-school regional staples such as tonnarelli cacio e pepe (thick square-shaped spaghetti seasoned with pecorino cheese and black pepper).
