A classy Roman trattoria, this is a place which emits so much warmth that you will feel absolutely at home. Inspired by his parents, chef and owner Paolo Vitaletti aims to provide satisfying meals without any compromise in quality. With a variety of pastas, meats, and cheeses, diners looking for good Italian food can do no wrong at Appia.

The restaurant is serious about their pasta, making it a point to make batches fresh daily. One of the top dishes here is the house-made Appia Raviolo, which includes spinach and a generouse dose of robiolina cheese and butter sage sauce for that creamy texture. If you can’t get enough of pasta, go for Pia’s Fettuccine where hand-cut pasta is infused with glorious meaty ragu - a dish created based on a recipe by Paolo’s mother. To increase your protein intake, their rotisserie also delivers crowd favourites such as the Porchetta, Natural Roasted Chicken, and the Lamb Ribs. Cleanse your palate by trying My Mother’s Tiramisu, which is assembled with mascarpone, espresso, pavesini cookies, and chocolate dust. The Saffron Pannacotta also provides a good alternative if you prefer a fruity and creamy dessert.

One thing to note at Appia, is that the ingredients are allowed to shine. They even offer a long list of wine that you can pair with your food. If you’re someone who loves simplicity and willing to let food do the talking, you won’t be disappointed. (December 2016)
