Rigatoni, farfalle, or strozzapreti? Maybe you prefer silky strands of tagliatelle wrapped in a rich ragù or a tangle of linguine tossed with a briny vongole sauce? Whatever your choice, here are some of The Good Food Guide’s favourite places for pasta.
Testaccio, the old slaughterhouse district in Rome, is shaped like a wedge of cheese. In it, some of Rome’s finest sandwiches, pasta and pizza can be found, in bars and trattorias that perfectly punctuate a night in one of the area’s buzzing discos. Local writer Rachel Roddy breaks down a culinary paradise.
Silk handkerchiefs anyone? Small ears? Little tongues? Clattering with vongole, stuffed with fresh spinach and ricotta, or rich with a chill-beating ragù?

Cornus, the second restaurant from the owners of Medlar in Chelsea, isn’t in the most obvious of locations. As you walk along Eccleston Place, look for a large number 27 wall sign then head down the alley next to it. Turn right into the courtyard and you’ll immediately see the restaurant’s name in large white letters over the covered doorway to the Ice Factory building, a renovated warehouse in the Eccleston Yards development. Follow the signs down the corridor to the lift where the button for the top floor is clearly marked ‘Cornus’.
