@simplybeautifuleating thank you so much, I LOVE this reel!!
It was truly a pleasure meeting you and showing you around my beloved Testaccio! Big big hug!! ☺️🥳🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️
If you find yourself exploring the charming streets of Trastevere, be sure to visit *Checco er Carrettiere*, a beloved traditional trattoria that has been a part of the neighborhood’s culinary heritage since 1935. One dish, in particular, stands out: their Tagliolini agli Scampi.
It’s important to note that in Italy, *scampi* refers to **langoustines**—not the shrimp commonly associated with the term in the U.S. These delicate, flavorful shellfish are cooked to perfection and tossed with fresh tagliolini in a light, savory tomato sauce, making this dish an absolute delight for seafood lovers.
The spaghetti with clams was also amazing, and you can tell they use top quality pasta, and wild seafood. The grilled lamb chops and sautéed chicory were also spectacular.
Admittedly, this place is more expensive than many, but you really get what you pay for.
Checco er Carrettiere’s warm, rustic atmosphere and commitment to authentic Roman flavors make it a must-visit for anyone wanting to experience true local cuisine.
Enjoy your meal!
