Pastarito

Pastarito, a small chain with locations in Italy and throughout Europe, was a perfect stop for us on a rainy day in Rome. We ordered the bufala pizza - made with buffalo mozzarella and cherry tomatoes; and the build your own pasta bowl, and chose the proscuitto tortellini with vodka sauce.

Both were good and the pasta was a huge portion - we could have simply split that dish among the two of us. The pasta was made for sharing, it came out in a bowl with a serving spoon and our waiter brought us two small plates.

The pizza was also a decent size and the cherry tomatoes added a nice pop and zing to a relatively safe choice.
