The carbonara you plan a Rome trip around
Roscioli is a deli with a dining room behind it, and the pasta is why people book weeks ahead.
Some restaurants are worth the wait. Roscioli is one of them.
On Via dei Giubbonari, a short walk from Campo de' Fiori, Roscioli is a salumeria first: cheeses, hams and wine at the front, and tables tucked among the shelves. We ate there as guests of friends who know Rome well, and they ordered for the table.
The carbonara is the one people talk about, and it earns it. The cacio e pepe is just as good. Start with whatever ham and burrata they suggest from the counter, and let them choose the wine.
Book weeks ahead. If you can't get in, the bakery around the corner is a fine consolation.
