For over 40 years, the Perna family have been running the historic 'Il Ciociaro' restaurant in the Prati neighborhood, right by the Vatican. The operation continues but their daughter, the talented and passionate Tatiana has created a new avenue of business for the family that takes their historic roots into modern-day Rome with a new street-food offering. 'Matri`' is her brainchild and is a street-food format whereby you can pre-order by phone or come in and wait a few minutes for freshly made pasta - the Roman classics - and take them away in cute containers to eat at home or on the street. Vegetarians are catered for and intolerances and allergies are managed too, in that this isn't pre-prepared or packaged take-out, but express cooked individual portions straight out of a Roman kitchen (often out of a creamy parmigiano reggiano or pecorino cheese wheel!) and showcasing the best of prized, local produce (including one of Italy's premier pasta brands, Verrigni). Currently they have carbonara, amatriciana, cacio e pepe and tomato and fish roe on the menu as well as some takeaway sweets. So for a quick lunch on the run, especially in between Vatican sightseeing, make Matri`a must on your Rome visit. For Rome locals or visitors with food delivery apps (Deliveroo, Foodora, Moovenda, etc) Matri` can deliver to your home, apartment or hotel! METRO: Lepanto. BUS: 70, 490, 982
