Moschino = classic. It's one of the signature restaurants in Garbatella, perched on top of a little…read morehill, facing the gorgeous Piazza Brin. Beautiful location, the cornerstone where development of Garbatella started, so it's only fair that Moschino would offer only the most authentic Roman cuisine. Their forte is "rigatoni alla Gricia", which is the "white amatriciana", another traditional dish. That doesn't mean you shouldn't try everything else, which I did. Other appetizers (supposedly to share...) include buffalo mozzarella, grilled eggplants, the amazing frittata and hand-cut ham. When I'm not ordering pasta, the meatballs are an excellent option, or the stuffed eggplant, but the usual fare is on the menu (saltimbocca alla romana, coda alla vaccinara etc.), provided you're offered one. Most likely they'll recite the options by heart, with the informal, down to earth camaraderie of the waiters. Some other comments talk about prices being too high or the place having lost is luster, but that's not my experience. If anything, at Moschino you can have a quick, inexpensive and flavorful meal, made even more appealing if you manage to get a seat outside. Gricia in Piazza Brin, what more can you ask?

A neighborhood classic, an eclectic journey into the various gastronomic traditions from all over…read morethe country. You'd be tempted to lump it with the other trattorias serving typical Roman fare, instead you're presented with a bold menu which selects ingredients and wine pairing from disparate regions. The daily specials are even more appetizing, being as diverse as fried anchovies or golden-crisp Taleggio cheese on a bed of artichokes. I don't usually praise (or eat) the bread, but the "cacio e pepe" type was simply outstanding. Yes, I asked for seconds, with extra emphasis on the cacio e pepe. Every dish is well crafted, from the simple sides to the more sophisticated entrees, like the turbot rolls stuffed with artichoke. Now, that's really a new one. I love the location, the ambiance, the experience, a bit less the pricing, which is somewhat steep. You can easily spend over €50 if you get carried away, but I think it's money well spent. The service is relaxed but attentive, they accept reservations and all major credit cards. Not the only famous go-to place in Garbatella but likely the most refined.
