Trattoria Pennestri

An authentic neighbourhood trattoria, were it not for the fact that its quality has by now carried its reputation well beyond the streets of Ostiense: the restaurant is often full and booking – by telephone only – is essential. The setting is simple and informal, yet has an immediate charm, entirely in keeping with the popular soul of the district. The kitchen focuses on the great Roman classics: carbonara, cacio e pepe, amatriciana and gricia open the dance of true flavours, accompanied by a few more creative proposals that add verve without distorting the identity of the house. Efficient and always smiling service completes the experience with courtesy and good advice, perfectly embodying the genuine spirit of the Roman trattoria of old.
