Armando al Pantheon
A three-generation family-run trattoria next to the Pantheon. Opened in 1961, it is one of the few traditional Roman restaurants in the historic center still highly regarded by locals.
Located just meters from the Pantheon, this small trattoria was opened in 1961 by Armando Gargioli and is now run by the third generation of the Gargioli family, earning a place in the Michelin Guide. The menu focuses on traditional Roman and Lazio cuisine, with rigatoni all'amatriciana, spaghetti alla carbonara, saltimbocca alla Romana, roast lamb, and offal dishes frequently recommended, alongside a sour cherry tart for dessert. With limited seating, tables are highly coveted and can only be booked online via their official website; dinner reservations are recommended two weeks to a month in advance. Closed Saturday evenings, Sundays, and from December 24 to January 3.
Opening hours
Mon-Fri 12:30-15:00, 18:00-23:00; Sat 12:30-15:00; closed Sat evenings, Sun, and Dec 24–Jan 3
