Felice a Testaccio
A historic Testaccio institution founded in 1936, famous for its signature cacio e pepe tossed tableside, open daily for lunch and dinner.
Founded by Felice Trivelloni in 1936 and run by the Trivelloni family ever since, this restaurant is recognized as a historic landmark and has expanded with branches in Milan and Turin. It is most famous for its cacio e pepe, which is tossed tableside, alongside carbonara, roast lamb, meatballs in tomato sauce, Roman-style artichokes, and a ricotta and sour cherry tart. Reservations can be made via the website or by phone; weekend dinners are highly competitive, so booking ahead is advised. Recent reviews are mixed, with some diners noting a noisy atmosphere and fast table turnovers. The cacio e pepe is about €19, with an average per-person cost of around €35.
