The table
Italian cooking with a clear point of view.
An Italian chef, a focused kitchen and a table built around the dishes that matter. We begin with antipasti and follow with pasta: Gragnano IGP, Italian ingredients, regional recipes and Roman classics made with care.
Antipasti. Pasta. Dessert. Wine. That is our table.
Gragnano IGPBronze-cut pasta selected for sauces that deserve to stay on the plate.
Italian ingredientsImported cold cuts, cheeses, olive oils and pasta shape the kitchen.

From our kitchen
The dishes speak
for themselves.
A selection from the Trattoria Vanara table: simple ingredients, proper pasta and plates made to be shared.
Roman classics
No shortcuts.
Just the recipe.
The recipes guests travel for: a short list, done with the attention it deserves.
Authenticity is not a flag or a familiar name on a menu. It is a carbonara without cream, cacio e pepe held by cheese and pasta water, and ingredients chosen because the recipe demands them.

The details that matter to an Italian table are the details our guests recognise: products, method, recipes and a kitchen that does not take shortcuts.
