Over the last few months, Ristorante Amedeo has been offering its diners the opportunity to taste all the dishes of true Roman tradition, with its mouth-watering weekly menus dedicated to the archaeological wonders of the capital. Our idea is to make you experience Rome at the table over a lunch of delicious daily specialties in the name of authenticity.
Come and visit us from Monday to Friday for a traditional Roman lunch, and immerse yourself in the iconic and timeless specialties of the Eternal City. In just a few mouthfuls, our dishes of the week will tell you the history and origins of Roman cuisine, based on simplicity and love for tradition.
Nevertheless, what distinguishes our restaurant is also a good dose of innovation. In fact, today we would like to introduce you to one of our special and most appreciated dishes from the Amedeo à la carte menu: mezzi rigatoni pasta with octopus ragù, pecorino cheese & toasted basil bread crumble.
When Roman meets new unexplored flavours
We never lack creativity at Ristorante Amedeo. Our kitchen staff loves to experiment, from reinterpretations of typical Roman dishes, to combinations of the most unexpected aromas and flavours. Among the many delicacies offered at Amedeo there is one particular pasta dish that has won over the palates of our affectionate customers, who continue to choose it for its wonderful delicacy. Our mezzi rigatoni pasta with octopus ragù, pecorino cheese & toasted basil bread crumble, a unique and exquisite recipe to say the least.
Octopus is one of the key raw materials in Roman seafood cuisine. From sauces to main courses, this ingredient is used in a variety of recipes. In our case, we chose to use it in a ragù: we let it simmer for several hours along with the tomato, for a sauce that is truly capable of taking you just a few steps from the sea. Our kitchen staff then decided to pair it with good Roman Pecorino cheese and a crispy basil-flavoured crumb to give the dish wonderful flavour and crunch.
The choice of pasta is also not accidental. Mezzi rigatoni pasta is indispensable when making typical Roman first courses, as well as being considered the most representative pasta shape in Rome. Alongside Spaghetti, it is used in almost all specialities of Roman cuisine, thanks to its shape that expertly collects the sauce and its thickness, which adds body to the dish.
Finger-licking culinary experiences
Dining like a true Roman can be expressed in various ways. We at Ristorante Amedeo consider ourselves a typical Roman restaurant that, with great care and passion, selects the best raw materials to create good traditional cuisine that reproduces the true flavours of Rome. On the other hand, however, we are never truly satisfied and that is why we always try to offer our diners original and innovative food and wine options.
Following the motto: “Space for creativity”, we want to accompany you on a journey to discover surprising culinary experiences that will delight your taste buds. Our goal is to win you over with a menu that is constantly evolving, that honours traditional Roman cooking yet, at the same time, is able to give our guests the multi-coloured nuances of alternative aromas and flavours.
Let yourself be inspired by our modern delicacies and hurry to book a table to rediscover the concept of a traditional Roman lunch. For Ristorante Amedeo the taste of Rome is also this!
