Antica Trattoria da Carlone

The history of Antica Trattoria da Carlone has ancient origins. It is said that, already in the 19th century, the “fagottari” came to the current building in via Luce 5 , to drink wine to accompany the food brought from home, as in traditional Roman taverns. Today, the sign is famous throughout the capital for its carbonara which, according to many, is one of the best in the city. In Trastevere, this cuisine is renowned for the unmistakable taste that only traditional recipes can guarantee.

The trattoria is located inside an alley away from the chaos of the city and offers the possibility of using tables outside or inside, in a room with simple furnishings in which, on the walls, are hung vintage photographs, paintings and blackboards that illustrate the dishes of the day. After all, Carlone is a classic old-fashioned trattoria , in which the friendliness and spontaneity of the service give joy and color to the gastronomic experience.

The restaurant’s strong point is the relationship between the quality and quantity of the dishes served, which has made Antica Trattoria da Carlone a guarantee of true Roman cuisine . In addition to the infamous carbonara, the menu features many other typical first courses, such as mezze maniche all’Amatriciana, tonnarelli cacio e pepe and mezze maniche alla gricia, which can be ordered in a convenient portion to share. In addition to the first courses, you can enjoy several other traditional dishes, such as coda alla vaccinara, tripe or roast lamb, accompanied by pan-fried chicory, Roman-style artichokes, Jewish-style artichokes and roast potatoes.
