What people say, in short
Most commenters recommend this Trastevere restaurant, and many single out its cacio e pepe; one diner says that dish alone is worth a return trip. One commenter calls the gnocchi with clams and the oxtail incredible. Opinions on the cacio e pepe are mixed, with a couple saying it was drier than other versions, and one diner had a poor meal with dried-out meatballs. A reservation is advised.
