Tonnarello
Rome, Italy
The read// why locals go
Tonnarello sits on Via della Paglia in Trastevere and does Roman trattoria cooking at volume — loud, generous and cheap. The room fills fast and spills onto tables outside on one of the prettiest streets in the quarter, which is much of the appeal: this is the version of a Roman dinner most people picture before they arrive. The menu stays with the city's own repertoire rather than reaching beyond it, so gricia and rigatoni all'amatriciana carry the kitchen, and portions are sized for sharing whether or not you meant to. Mains sit around €26, wine is poured by the litre, and nobody expects quiet.
