Lunch at Flavio al Velavevodetto

We have been planning to visit this restaurant for a while. We finally did it today despite the weather forecast says it was going to rain in Rome. The objective is simple- to order a Roman dish.

The location of the restaurant is in Testaccio, one of the oldest Roman area. Their food is known to represent the working class of Roman back in the old days. However, this area is now known to be a hipster area which represents Rome's culinary highlights.

We made the booking at 12.30. Please make sure you book in advance as the restaurant is quite popular. We were seated. As soon as the menu arrived, we are ready to order. The following is the name in Rome.

1. Carciofi alla giudia- deep fried Jewish artichokes.
2. Tonarelli Cacio al pepe- pasta in Roman pecorine cheese and pepper
3. Tiramisu- this is the classical Italian dessert. Slight different with melting chocolate inside a glass

I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Rome. I love all the dishes that we ordered, Would definitely come again.
