Felice a Testaccio is a beloved institution in one of Rome’s most traditionally Roman neighbourhoods. Founded in 1936 and still going strong, the restaurant blends classic trattoria warmth with polished, contemporary execution, without losing its authenticity.
Signature dishes like tonnarelli cacio e pepe (famously tossed at the table), oxtail stew, and tripe alla romana speak to the city’s culinary heritage with conviction. The menu stays true to its roots while allowing for seasonal updates and thoughtful plating.
With efficient, no-nonsense service and a loyal crowd of locals and well-informed visitors, Felice a Testaccio delivers the kind of meal that feels both familiar and quietly special — a benchmark for Roman comfort done right.
