What the creator captured
Eater visited Foria, a modern Roman trattoria, to experience what they consider the perfect red sauce pasta. The creator was particularly impressed by the delicate, hand-made dough of the duck agnolotti and the expertly rendered guanciale in the rigatoni amatriciana. They concluded that the restaurant's commitment to manual pasta-making techniques results in an unparalleled dining experience.
