Roman cuisine and fish in Trastevere, an all-female management
“Checco Er Carettiere is a female-run restaurant, managed by four women, actually five to be precise, because the newest generation has stepp...ed up.

Typical Roman menu, from supplì to homemade desserts
“For starters we can mention the supplì, which are one of the best things we make, along with the carciofi alla giudia, which are wonderful. ...The frittata di patate, an old-fashioned dish that everyone loves, young and old. Then we can move on to a selection of first courses, all the classic Roman ones as usual: cacio e pepe, carbonara, gricia, amatriciana. And then we have the legendary spaghetti alla carrettiera, with tuna, dried mushrooms and tomato. And then let's talk about the second courses - saltimbocca, abbacchio scottadito, abbacchio fritto, coda alla vaccinara, involtini, ossobuchi, what more could you want? I don't even know what else to suggest anymore. The vegetables, all fresh - cicoria, puntarelli when in season, carciofo alla romana, dig in. And we mustn't forget the desserts, because they're all made by us, since next to the restaurant we also have a bar, pastry shop and gelateria. Here we have tiramisù, zabaione cake, chocolate cake, grandma's crumble cake, ricotta e visciole. Enjoy your meal, I can't go on any longer. Enjoy your meal.”

Supplì with sugo and 30-month parmigiano
“The legendary supplì di Checco with riso carnaroli, sugo from the involtini and 30-month parmigiano reggiano. And then, sweetly, in the end,... we cook it in olio extravergine d'oliva. What more can I say? Buon appetito!”

In the heart of Trastevere, one of the most evocative and authentic neighborhoods of ancient Roma, stands Checco Er Carettiere: a restaurant where tradition and gastronomic culture blend together in a genuine and family atmosphere. Within its rooms one can feel the experience of three generations who have passed down the typical specialties of Roman cuisine, today recreated with the same care as always. A cuisine defined as "poor," yet rich in flavor, which in the Papal era fed the families of the working classes thanks to the so-called "quinto quarto" — the less prized parts of the animal such as offal, tripe, pajata, and tail. Dishes that require long and laborious preparation, a practice that today risks disappearing but which at Checco is jealously preserved for the customer. After three generations, with love and respect for this heritage, Checco's granddaughters are today at the forefront of running the establishment. Talking with Stefania, Susy, Laura, and Mira, one senses all the expertise and conviction in preserving the authentic flavors of a Roma that risks disappearing. A landmark for Romans for generations, Checco Er Carettiere knows how to satisfy every type of customer: the restaurant and the osteria, the latter designed for a more informal and relaxed experience, without giving up the authenticity of Roman recipes. At Checco Er Carettiere it is also possible to request traditional Roman dishes prepared with gluten-free products, designed for those who suffer from food intolerances without having to give up the taste of their favorite dish.
