“Flavio al Velavevodetto, located on the slopes of Monte di Testaccio in Rome, a hill made of ancient oil amphorae fragments, has become a real institution, despite having only opened in 2009. Chef Flavio De Maio serves the most velvety carbonara in the whole city, and a cacio and pepe pasta with the perfect amount of spiciness."

"The terracotta walls and the lighting, as well as the outside environment will make your dinners magical. A typical dinner on the veranda in a pleasant summer evening embodies the true essence of Flavio al Velavevodetto. Do not miss: the (divine) version of Flavio's timeless recipe for "Cacio e Pepe".

"If you are looking for the epitome of Roman pasta, [...] this is the place."
