Why Tonnarelli Cacio e Pepe Is So Popular

Cacio e Pepe is the essence of Roman cuisine, simplicity and perfection in its elements. It is renowned for its contrast; salty and sharp Pecorino, aromatic and warm pepper, with a real bite on pasta. Thicker and rougher than spaghetti, Tonnarelli holds the sauce much better and hence is insisted upon by the Romans. If you are near the Vatican, it will be your first real taste of the Vatican and if you are among our neighbours in Borgo Pio, it will be the comfort plate you come back for weekly!
