al42 Street Food Gourmet, colloquially known as Pasta Chef, is a rare concept for Rome: it’s a casual restaurant that also does takeout. It also makes some of the best amatriciana and carbonara in Rome, with perfectly cooked al dente pasta and nice, silky sauce. It’s a great place for when you need an easy, low-stress lunch or quick dinner, and the location near the Colosseum and Roman Forum is especially convenient for a bite in-between tours. They also do a solid caesar salad and sell small bottles of wine that are perfect for solo diners.

Review

Rimessa Roscioli in Regola makes the same great pasta as the original Roscioli, but here you don't have to deal with cramped seating or long waits.

Trattoria Pennestri in Ostiense has both classic Italian dishes and things you don't often find in Rome, like chocolate mousse and seared duck breast.
