Il Tettuccio

Family hug in Frascati. Best grilled calamari and spaghetti alla carbonara in the Frascati region hands down. Ive tried a ton here. I have a tough time ordering any other main dishes than these though all is great. Never a disappointment and very fair priced. This should be your essential stop if in Frascati.

If you want a taste of real back streets Italy with the ambience and cuisine of real small town atmosphere, then Tettuccio is your place. Family run and owned, very economical, with Roman cuisine in its original state. The carbonara here is as good or better than most places Ive tasted in Rome down the hill. The calamari, grilled or fried, is there with the best I have ever had from Tenerife or Napoli. I suggest avoiding Sunday lunch because the whole town is there and try mid week for lunch or dinner if you can and say hi To Serena for me. She's a piece of what is best of the Italian culture and cuisine.

This restaurant was exceptional. The atmosphere is absolutely lovely and quaint. It’s really charming and very inviting. The food is exceptional. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. And the highlight was how wonderful the staff, chef and owners were of this establishment. Their passion and pride for this business is very evident. And be sure to try the homemade lemoncello. Do not miss a chance to have a wonderful dining experience in this gem!

We decided to wander out of Rome for the evening, and so glad we found this gem! The truffle carbonara and ossobucco were some of the best things we ate on our trip to Italy. Service was friendly and fast. We look forward to coming back on a future visit!!!

Best grilled and fried calamari in the area hands down and I've tried them all in Frascati... This is my go to for that. Carbonara is top notch and lemon sorbet as well... I dont look at the menu any more and just order this trio and grilled vegetables and walk away content with a modest bill and a smiling face. Sabrina, the owner is pure Italian gold.
