I don’t agree with the idea that all “tourist traps” have bad food. Like mama Maria definitely gets out of towners but it’s still awesome. Same with famiglia Giorgio - line of tourists out the door but the freshhh pasta with veal + pork + beef bolognese is unmatched.

Lived in the hood for years and years, my fave for an expensive dinner are Prezza, Asaggio, Mare, vinoteca di Monica (the one on Richmond). For casual it’s Artu, aquapazza, and La Summa or beneventos if you want red sauce style
