Cacio e Pepe to Go in the centre of Rome.A Roman restaurant celebrated for its cacio e pepe has branched out from its Testaccio base to launch a new street food outlet near the Spanish Steps in the city centre.Da Felice, whose cacio e pepe has been praised by the New York Times as the finest in the world, has opened a takeaway offshoot at Via delle Carrozze 12A, just off Piazza di Spagna. The new venture, called Felice On the Go, launches as the trattoria marks its 90th anniversary, combining nine decades of Roman culinary tradition with a faster format aimed at tourists and locals passing through the historic centre. The roots of the business go back to 1936, when Guido Trivelloni arrived in the Testaccio neighbourhood from his vineyard in Velletri with a cart of wine. He could hardly have anticipated the institution his family would build. By 2017 the brand had expanded to Milan, and in 2024 the cacio e pepe reached Turin as well. Rome recipe: Tonnarelli Cacio e Pepe Franco Trivelloni, Guido's grandson and the current custodian of the business, said the aim behind the new opening was to adapt a historic institution to a different context while preserving its identity and working methods. The menu at Felice On the Go mirrors the offering at the Testaccio original. The four pillars of Roman pasta - amatriciana, carbonara, gricia and, of course, cacio e pepe - all for €13. The street food menu also includes supplì, Roman-style artichokes, meatballs and tripe, while the dessert option includes tiramisù and ricotta and sour cherry tart. The new 120-sqm premises, open daily from 11.30 to 19.30, has seating for 25 people although the emphasis is on the take-away option. Photo Gambero Rosso
