Best Pizzerias in College Area

We had a fantastic experience at Cacio E Pepe Trattoria Romana, with the exception of their Bucatini Cacio E Pepe which was not good. The bucatini itself was both al dente and gummy/pasty all at the same time and the sauce was lacking enough Pepe to offset the unusual funk of the Parmesan cheese - just start to finish, not good. The Barbabietola Insalata was delicious even though it was drizzled with Balsamic vinegar rather than Balsamic “pearls,” some of the pecans were just plain instead of candy, and we didn’t find any pickled mustard seeds, but altogether it was de.li.cious, so it didn’t matter. Also, the Brushchetta alla Romana was very tasty, but still could have used a little work with riper tomatoes and better seasoning, and a different style of bread, but it was still solid. What was spot on was the Veal Scallopini with Mushroom Risotto - chef’s kiss! Well done! And service was very good! We were incredibly pleased by it! Thanks for taking such great care of us!

Excellent service and delicious food! Congratulations to all staff!

Great gluten free and vegan options. We really enjoyed the osso bucco risotto special.

Ordered several pizza’s and a few different types of draft beers by the pitcher for a celebration of life. Every thing was delicious and the crew was helpful.
