What it is
A salumeria, wine bar and restaurant on Via dei Giubbonari near Campo de' Fiori, serving Roman classics from a room lined with its own cured meats and cheeses.
Why travelers eat here
For the carbonara and the counter. The ingredients are the point, and you are sitting inside the shop that sources them.
What is genuinely good
An outstanding deli counter, a carbonara that lives up to the noise around it, a deep wine list, and cured meats and cheeses you can buy on the way out.
Downsides
A 20 euro per person deposit. Rigid shifts. Cramped and loud. Fully booked weeks in advance.
Best for
Anyone who cares about ingredients, and anyone willing to plan a Rome meal weeks ahead.
Consider eating elsewhere if
You want to eat spontaneously, or a shift system and a deposit put you off before you have tasted anything.
Practical advice
Book weeks ahead and expect the deposit to be taken. Take the earliest lunch shift, which is the calmest. Buy something from the counter as you leave, because that is half the reason the food tastes the way it does.
Prices and reservations
A la carte with a 20.00 euro per person booking deposit, deductible from the bill. Fixed seating shifts only, booked online.
Getting there
Bus or tram to Largo di Torre Argentina, then five minutes on foot. There is no convenient metro.
Where it sits
Via dei Giubbonari, a narrow shopping street running from Campo de' Fiori towards the Tiber, in the dense old centre.
How long to allow
An hour and a half, which is what the shift allows.
The RuinMyTrip verdict
Book weeks ahead, take the deposit on the chin, order the carbonara and buy cheese on the way out.

Roscioli charges a 20.00 euro deposit per person at booking, and works in fixed shifts: 12:30, 12:45, 14:30 and 14:45 for lunch, and 19:00, 21:30 and 21:45 for dinner. Those are the only slots that exist. It is a salumeria first, a wine bar second and a restaurant third, all in one narrow room lined floor to ceiling with cured meat, cheese and bottles. The carbonara is the dish people book for, and the burrata and…
