La Matriciana, Traditional restaurant in central Rome, Italy
La Matriciana is a restaurant in central Rome that serves traditional Roman dishes with emphasis on pasta preparations using seasonal ingredients from local producers. The menu changes throughout the year to make use of what is best available at each time.
The place was founded in 1870 and has been a culinary destination ever since. Generations of the Crisciotti family have run the business and kept its reputation alive.
The restaurant keeps alive authentic Roman cooking methods, especially in preparing pasta dishes with guanciale and pecorino cheese. Visitors can see how these traditional recipes are part of the daily work and passed down through generations.
The place sits in central Rome and operates Sunday through Friday, with lunch service from 12:00 to 15:00 and dinner from 19:00 to 23:00. It closes on Saturdays, so plan your visit accordingly.
Two certified sommeliers from Rome's A.I.S manage the wine list and carefully select wines to pair with individual dishes. This attention to pairing raises the dining experience to another level.
