Checco Er Carettiere

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.
