100 years of
Roman cuisine
100 years of history and passion: the secrets of Roman cuisine from one of the most famous Italian restaurants in the world
Antica Pesa in the heart of Trastevere is more than a restaurant: it is an institution.
It has been this way since its origins; when it gave refreshments to the Garibaldians or hosted the meetings of the Circle of the Smaniosi, members of that “society of big gluttons” made famous by the popular song. But it was in the 1950s with La Dolce Vita, when Antica Pesa became a real point of reference. A must for all those who wish to immerse themselves in true Roman life, in the authentic spirit of a city that is unique in the world. Artists, writers, actors, directors, alongside residents & tourists, meet at Antica Pesa to taste traditional dishes in a true characteristic atmosphere. In the following years, thanks to leadership strongly rooted both in the territory while capable of experimentation, Antica Pesa substantiates itself as the modern pillar of tradition, which it reinterprets and innovates in light of its history.
Cacio e pepe, gricia, carbonara, tripe, coda alla vaccinara: each recipe reveals an approach that is respectful of typical dishes and ingredients, but at the same time dynamic and forward-looking, to rediscover the true flavors of Roman cuisine using creativity and modern techniques.
