Roman Restaurant: This popular osteria is carved inside the neighborhood’s man made mound of ancient amphoras. Just as spectacular as its location is Flavio’s authentic, no-frills Roman cuisine: try their tonnarelli cacio e pepe (square cut noodles with pecorino cheese and black pepper), coda alla vaccinara (oxtail stew), polpette di bollito (fried meatballs), and award-winning rigatoni alla carbonara (pasta in a sauce of egg yolk, pecorino, pork cheek, and black pepper).

Sightseeing
In the centre of the neighbourhood there’s a small hill called Monte Testaccio. In Roman times food such as honey, sugar, wine and olive oil was transported in terracotta pots called amphorae. Olive oil would degrade the containers so when they could no longer be used they were demolished. Testaccio’s hill is actually a rather scenic garbage dump of 53 million broken amphorae!Restaurants and nightclubs now surround the hill!
