The rooms, best first
- Tipo 00verified
Rolls its pasta in-house and the squid-ink tagliolini is the room's calling card.
- Osteria Ilariaverified
Opened one shopfront from Tipo 00 with almost no pasta, leading on chargrilled octopus over nduja.
- Marameoverified
Kept Sarti's squid-ink spaghetti with blue swimmer crab and rolls its own pasta for the cacio e pepe.
