An institution since 1906, named for the founder's charcoal-merchant husband rather than the pasta. The graffiti-scrawled walls and close tables frame down-to-earth Roman cooking: cacio e pepe, coda alla vaccinara, Thursday gnocchi, Friday baccalà, Saturday tripe. The day-of-the-week ritual is the point.
