La Matricianella is one of the eternal city’s three best addresses for authentic Roman cuisine. Some of the city’s best fritti, pastas and lamb dishes await. It also doesn’t hurt that the place is an Italian wine nirvana, with not one but two large wine lists: a first that is devoted to Lazio wines only, and a second, much larger, heavier tome dedicated to Italy’s best whites and reds.
