This is a review based on getting my pasta to go…read more
This was my first meal when I landed in Rome, so my travel group was hungry and very excited for our first Italian/Roman meal. Therefore, we ordered one of everything Hey, why not? Right?!
It was definitely fresh pasta because you see them making the pasta from flour to all the different types of pasta shapes. And fresh pasta tends to stick together when cooled down.
Here is the ranking of how I liked their pastas. They were all good but this is based on my flavor preference and how good everything was after bringing it back to the Airbnb.
6. Strozzapreti al pesto
5. Spaghetti Cacio e pepe
4. Fusilli al pomodoro
3. Strozzapreti al tartufo
2. Pappardelle al Ragu
1. Spaghetti alla Carbonara
I think my ranking might have changed drastically if I ate everything on the spot. As you can tell by now, my recommendation is to eat it there as soon as you get your order. ¨
It was really good for being "take-out" style. Def worth stopping by for guaranteed yummy fresh pasta. So, if you have stomach space and are contemplating, yes, go! Worth the virality and hype.
But I wouldn't suggest eating here every day. You're in Rome, explore! Try to find another yummy spot! ¨
Things to know:
-Like most of Rome, they accept cards.
-When you order, if are you getting it go, let them know so that they can pack it for you.
-After you order, they give you a pager so you know when your order is ready.
-If you order to go (I would suggest not if you can eat it there fresh) and if you have a bit of a walk, I would not suggest holding the bag by the handle cuz the steam of the food made our bags rip slowly. I'm glad we realized this because we would've been sad if all our pasta landed on the floor. And the covers do get warped by the steam, so everything shifts around. So, don't be like me - swinging the bag happily. Be more mindful.
-Wait time can vary. Mine wasn't too bad cuz there weren't a lot of people.
-The only problem with eating there is that there is no seating. So, I wouldn't have been able to get every single pasta dish to try. Pros and cons of eating it fresh and hot vs eating comfortably in AC.
