Pasta Imperiale

This is a little hole in the wall place. Mostly take out I would guess, but a few tables. Order at the counter. Very helpful person at counter. Food was delicious! Great flavor. Could get a pasta dish, salad or tiramisu and water for €12

Quintessential hole in the wall pasteria minutes from Castel Sant’ Angelo. Take the extra 3 minutes to skip all the tourist traps and try to make it here. Statistically, a place with less than a dozen seats with over 2k reviews can’t ever be a dud. People know their stuff. Most people who walked in while we were here spoke Italian, increasing the authenticity in our books. They have 8 types of pasta and 9 ways of preparation, mathematically yielding 72 combinations - though I’m not sure if all combinations make sense. We ordered spaghetti cacio pepe, tagliatele carbonara, and gnocchi burro e parmigiano (in butter and cheese). Incredible. Just mind bogglingly delicious. If you are in the area - do stop by and taste the magic!

The pasta dish was amazing. I paid 12€ for a whole menu and it included one water, one portion of pasta and one tiramisu. You could even choose the sauce and the kind of pasta you wanted:) The portion is very big. This was amazing and I enjoyed it very much🤩🤩

The pasta was so good, especially for the price. However, if you are hungry I recommend taking the bigger portion since the regular one is very small and won‘t make you full. Also there is not much room to sit, so in case it’s busy, prepare to eat this as take-away. Besides, I would deduct stars for the fact that you only get to eat from paper plates and with wood cutlery. But I guess for the price you still can’t really complain that much here.

Their pasta was really good for the price. Their student deal is sooo good it’s 8.5 for a large pasta and a mini dessert. The large pasta is just a normal sized portion imo. Atmosphere isn’t great to sit but still
