Food Trekker only made a flying visit to Rome this summer but our number one recommendation is Armando al Pantheon. It will come as no surprise that this gorgeous little restaurant is a stones throw from the Pantheon (what gave it away?). It’s not a cheap meal, around €125 for two with wine, but you are guaranteed delicious pasta.
Lardo and quail’s egg with truffle on toast.
Spaghetti alla Griscia (bacon,cheese and black pepper, a meaty Cacio e Pepe)
Spaghetti all’aglio, olio e peperoncino – this was the most surprising dish of the evening. You wouldn’t guess from looking at the picture but this is the spiciest dish we have come across in Italy.![11695408_10153191468382562_64518555274683617_n[1]](https://thefoodtrekker.files.wordpress.com/2015/08/11695408_10153191468382562_64518555274683617_n1.jpg?w=470&h=353)
