Ammazzacaffè – Italian
This intimate neighborhood haunt captures the soul of a Roman trattoria, where the air is thick with the scent of slow-simmered ragu and the rhythmic clinking of glasses filled with botanical amari. Guests lose track of time amidst the flickering candlelight and lush greenery of the hidden garden, lingering over plates of supple, hand-rolled pasta that celebrate the simple beauty of seasonal ingredients. It is a place designed for the art of the long meal, culminating in the namesake "coffee killer" digestif that ensures the evening ends on a spirited, soulful note.
