Authentic Fettuccine alla Bolognese pasta in Borgo Pio, Near Vatican City

Why Fettuccine alla Bolognese Is So Popular in Rome

Roman trattorias built their name on honest, hearty pasta. Ragù alla Bolognese sits at the heart of that tradition, and the wide ribbons of fettuccine hold the sauce far better than any thin cut, so every forkful carries full flavour. It is the Sunday-lunch taste of an Italian nonna’s kitchen, served in a family-run restaurant near the Vatican.
