"I’d have given up at that point but Hande said we must have the panna cotta. So we sighed and did and it was perfect - creamy, wobbly and bathed in a rich dark caramel."

Recommendations
"Until somehow, before we knew what was happening, we ordered the sublime dessert platter. Six of their greatest hits including panna cotta with caramel. With four spoons. With which, by the end, we were fighting each other with to scoop up the very last bits."

"At Cesare al Casaletto, Leonardo Vignoli’s rigatoni alla pajata is the always flawlessly balanced."
"Aesthetically, coda alla vaccinara may be wanting - the plate arrives at the table with three pieces of oxtail sitting in an unlovely-looking pool of sauce - but the beauty of Vignoli's version of the dish is fully revealed once you grab a segment with both hands and manoeuvre the bone until its succulent meaty bits have been liberated."
"Luscious potato gnocchi are sauced with coda alla vaccinara—meaty oxtail braised in a sugo of Pomila tomatoes that stay fresh-tasting even after being simmered forever. "
"In a spare, white neighborhood osteria, a modest genius named Leonardo Vignoli recharges cucina romanesca with fresh passion and energy, keeping prices at trattoria level by ferreting out small unsung producers. So a Lazio village guy cures the explosively flavorful hog jowl for Vignoli’s gricia, Rome’s fourth classic pasta (guanciale, pecorino, no eggs)."
"I’d have given up at that point but Hande said we must have the panna cotta. So we sighed and did and it was perfect - creamy, wobbly and bathed in a rich dark caramel."

"For a tastier bite, don't leave Rome without ordering oxtail (coda alla vaccinara). Try it at Cesare al Casaletto, where you can pick your pasta style (fresh or dried, and penne or fettuccine, etc), then have it cooked to order and smothered in oxtail sauce, or order the oxtail as your main course."
