8Amatriciana

Pasta all’amatriciana brings together guanciale, tomato, Pecorino Romano, and chili for a dish that is rich, slightly spicy, and unmistakably Roman. Originating from the nearby town of Amatrice, it has become a cornerstone of Roman cuisine.

The sauce balances sweetness from tomatoes with the salty richness of pork and cheese. Traditionally served with bucatini or rigatoni, amatriciana is a must-order for those who want something robust and full of character.
