Velavevodetto Ai Quiriti

Vatican City, Borgo & Prati


This welcoming restaurant wins you over with its unpretentious Roman food and honest prices. The menu reads like a directory of local staples; standout choices include fettuccine con asparagi, guanciale e pecorino (pasta ribbons with asparagus, guanciale and pecorino cheese) and polpette di bollito (meatballs). Pavement tables overlook the fountain on the Piazza dei Quiriti.
