Local before arrival
Although Le mani in pasta is located in a quiet area of Trastevere, it is usually completely booked. Contrary to the restaurant’s name, you’re not likely to see anyone with their hands in the dough here. Instead, the chefs stay busy juggling lobsters and tomatoes and still manage to magically produce Sardinian orange zest cookies garnished with brittle. A window dividing the kitchen from the dining room allows you to keep an eye on the action.
