Hello, I have a bit of a culinary question for the locals and experienced travelers about Rome...
So, to keep it as short as possible - my girlfriend and I like to travel and our most important activity abroad is trying the local cuisine. Our next destination (this late spring/early summer) is Rome. One of her favorite dishes is Cacio and Pepe, so I want to take her to a really nice place that serves an excellent one! However, I'm a bit divided...
TripAdvisor's top result is the conveniently named Cacio e Pepe restaurant (https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g187791-d1010711-Reviews-Cacio_e_Pepe-Rome_Lazio.html), also recommended by Lonely Planet as well, but it has a 3.5 average grade on TripAdvisor, so I'm not entirely convinced... The alternative is Felice a Testaccio (https://www.tasteatlas.com/FeliceATestaccio), a top pick by this website Taste Atlas...
If you guys have any, I'd love to hear your firsthand experiences or opinions about the best place for Cacio and Pepe. And about other traditional Italian foods, since I doubt we'll only eat that one day! Thanks in advance!
