Why we recommend it
Flavio al Velavevodetto sits on Via di Monte Testaccio, at the base of the ancient artificial hill built from broken Roman amphorae, in a street lined with restaurants and bars. It is the original of a small group that now includes a branch in Prati and two in Milan. The kitchen sticks to the Roman tradition, with fresh pasta, rich meat and tomato sauces, seasonal greens and the quinto quarto offal dishes for which Testaccio, once home to the city's slaughterhouse, is known.
It is a good choice for a relaxed, unhurried dinner, especially in warmer months. Book through the website, particularly at weekends. Piramide metro station is around ten minutes' walk away.
