🍝everywhere tucci ate in the Rome episode of Searching for Italy

season 1, episode 2. four pastas is really six stops if you count the artichokes and the offal. go hungry

Bar San Calisto (Trastevere)

opens the episode here, espresso and a maritozzo before anything else happens

Armando al Pantheon (Pantheon)

rigatoni all'amatriciana, first of the four pastas. 50-plus years in the same spot, still open last I checked

Pommidoro (San Lorenzo)

the carbonara stop. Don Pasta walks him through guanciale vs pancetta, an argument nobody actually settles

SantoPalato (Appio-Latino)

the offal stop, with Katie Parla. not for beginners, skip it if you're squeamish

La Reginella (Jewish Ghetto)

Italia Tagliacozzo frying carciofi alla giudia in a kitchen that's been doing it the same way for decades

Bistrot64 (Flaminio)
