Checchino dal 1887

Checchino dal 1887 is a primary address for Rome's offal tradition, operating from the same location for over 130 years. The Mariani family kitchen, now run by the Mariani Brothers, represents a continuity of technique that predates modern food criticism. Its ranking at #23 on The World’s 50 Best Restaurants in 2005 and subsequent recognition from Opinionated About Dining mark it as a credentialed benchmark for cucina romana. The wood-paneled dining room, carved into the base of Monte Testaccio, is a time capsule of classic Roman service. The menu is a focused study of Testaccio's historic repertoire, built around precise preparations of coda alla vaccinara, rigatoni con pajata, and other quinto quarto specialties.
