Da Bucatino
About
Lose yourself in Rome's Monti neighborhood and you'll find Da Bucatino, a true culinary gem tucked among charming cobblestone streets. As soon as you step inside, the tantalizing scents of authentic Italian cooking will draw you in. The menu is a celebration of Roman food heritage, boasting a mouthwatering array of dishes crafted with fresh, seasonal ingredients. Start with classic starters like bruschetta piled high with ripe tomatoes and aromatic basil, or supplì, those irresistible crispy rice balls filled with molten mozzarella and savory goodness. When it comes to the main event, the homemade pasta dishes are a testament to the chef's skill. The carbonara is a revelation, with its rich egg sauce and crispy pancetta coating perfectly cooked spaghetti.
Or perhaps you'll be tempted by the simple elegance of cacio e pepe, where al dente pasta meets the sharp bite of Pecorino Romano cheese and black pepper. Don't miss the tempting main courses either. For a truly satisfying experience, try the osso buco alla Milanese; the braised veal shanks are fall-off-the-bone tender and bursting with flavor thanks to a vibrant gremolata. No meal here is complete without a taste of the classic tiramisu. This delightful dessert is a symphony of coffee-soaked ladyfingers layered with creamy mascarpone and finished with a dusting of cocoa powder. It's the perfect ending to a meal that embodies the dedication to culinary tradition that makes Da Bucatino a beloved Rome institution.
