Flavio Al Velavevodetto

"This welcoming eatery is the sort of place that gives Roman trattorias a good name." Full review

"This very reasonable Testaccio restaurant serves traditional dishes among ancient pottery chards."

"Guanciale, cacio, and chicory make lots of appearances, and the chefs get bold with meat (oxtail takes many forms, and there's a sublime suckling pig)." Full review

"The traditional fare is hearty and onesto – not hugely refined but filling and generally good – the service is friendly in a hurried Roman way, and the atmosphere is buzzy, noisy and young." Full review

"Does a mean gricia, cacio e pepe...this is one place you'll want to eat inside, since it's dug into the side of the Monte Testaccio: a grassy hill formed by a Roman rubbish dumb of terracotta amphorae"

"Flavio’s plain dining room is burrowed out of the side of Rome’s most unusual “hill”...food-lovers come here for classic Roman pastas like cacio e pepe and amatriciana, plus quinto quarto entrees" Full review
