Frommer's Review
Il Matriciano is a family restaurant with a devoted following and a convenient location near St. Peter's. The food is good but mostly country fare. In summer, try to get one of the sidewalk tables behind a green hedge and under a shady canopy. For openers, you might enjoy a bracing zuppa di verdura (vegetable soup) or creamy ravioli di ricotta. From many dishes, we recommend scaloppa alla valdostana (chicken sautéed with ham and mushrooms in a cream sauce) or abbacchio (suckling lamb) al forno, each evocative of the region's bounty. The specialty, and our personal favorite, is bucatini matriciana, a variation on the favorite sauce in the Roman repertoire, amatriciana, richly flavored with bacon, tomatoes, and basil. Dining at the convivial tables, you're likely to see an array of Romans, including prelates and cardinals ducking out of the nearby Vatican for a meal.
