Our Story
A Roman Culinary Tradition
Nestled on the charming Via della Pace, just a stone's throw from the majestic Piazza Navona, Trattoria del Sole has proudly served authentic Roman cuisine for over two decades. Our journey began with Nonna Giulia's passion for preserving the timeless recipes of our family, a tradition carried on today by her grandson, Chef Antonio Moretti. Every dish we prepare is a tribute to the rich culinary heritage of Lazio, crafted with love and respect for the ingredients and techniques that have stood the test of time. We believe that dining is more than just eating; it's a moment of connection, a celebration of family, and a sensory experience that transports you to the heart of Italy. We meticulously source the freshest, highest-quality ingredients, from locally cured guanciale to Pecorino Romano cheese aged to perfection, ensuring that every bite delivers an explosion of genuine flavor. Our kitchen is a hub of activity where fresh pasta is rolled daily and sauces simmer slowly, filling the air with intoxicating aromas. We are committed to providing a warm, inviting atmosphere where both locals and visitors feel like part of the family. Whether you're seeking a quiet dinner for two, a lively gathering with friends, or a special celebration, Trattoria del Sole offers the perfect setting. Our dedication to authenticity extends beyond the plate to our carefully curated selection of regional wines, chosen to perfectly complement our dishes. We strive to create not just a meal, but a cherished memory of your time in Rome, steeped in tradition and genuine hospitality. From the moment you step through our door, you become part of the Trattoria del Sole story, a narrative written in pasta, wine, and shared laughter.
Menu Highlights
Our Signature Dishes
Spaghetti Carbonara
Experience the quintessential Roman pasta dish prepared the traditional way. We use only the finest ingredients: crispy, salty guanciale (cured pork cheek), rich, creamy Pecorino Romano cheese imported from Lazio, farm-fresh egg yolks, and a generous grind of black pepper. Our carbonara is made without cream, achieving its silky texture purely through the emulsification of the egg, cheese, and rendered guanciale fat. A true taste of Rome's culinary heart.
Pizza Margherita
Simple, yet perfect. Our Pizza Margherita honors the classic Neapolitan tradition with a thin, airy crust baked to perfection in our wood-fired oven. Topped with vibrant San Marzano tomatoes, fresh fior di latte mozzarella that melts beautifully, fragrant basil leaves, and a drizzle of our finest extra virgin olive oil. A testament to the power of high-quality, fresh ingredients treated with respect.
Classic Tiramisu
Conclude your meal with our renowned homemade Tiramisu, a delicate balance of textures and flavors. Layers of light, espresso-soaked Savoiardi ladyfingers are intertwined with a rich, velvety mascarpone cream, dusted with bitter cocoa powder. Made fresh daily in our kitchen, this classic Italian dessert is the perfect sweet ending to your Roman feast. It's a recipe perfected over generations, guaranteed to leave a lasting impression.
