Roma Sparita – Cacio e Pepe in a Parmesan Bowl (and Trastevere's Most Beautiful Piazza)

A dish that goes viral because it can't help it: Cacio e Pepe served in a hollowed-out, fried Parmesan flatbread. Reservation required. Piazza Santa Cecilia. Dreamy.

There are dishes that go viral because an influencer photographed them. And then there are dishes that go viral because they simply can't help it — because the idea is so good it spreads itself. The Cacio e Pepe nel Frico di Parmigiano at Roma Sparita is the latter.

The Dish

Imagine: a bowl made of fried Parmesan — crispy, paper-thin, golden. Inside: fresh pasta with classic Cacio e Pepe sauce — silky, peppery, intense. You eat the pasta. Then you eat the bowl. Every bite has a different texture, a different flavour — but they complement each other perfectly. This is not a gimmick. This is genius.
