Ristorante Cacciani

A hundred years in Frascati

Cacciani opened in 1922 and is now run by the third generation of the family, at Via Armando Diaz, 13, in the centre of Frascati, a few steps from Piazza Marconi. What sets it apart is the panoramic terrace: on clear days you can see the whole of Rome below. Inside there is a large dining room and a grotto dug into the tuff for more intimate dinners, and next door, the house's more informal Focacceria-Vineria.

What to order

The menu marks the traditional dishes with the year they began: the porchettina frascatana, roast suckling pig with wild fennel, garlic and rosemary (since 1922); papà Armando's cannelloni with ragù (since 1954); tonnarelli cacio e pepe; fettuccine with artichokes in gricia; tripe with pecorino and mint. Among the starters, Jewish-style artichoke and coratella pâté. On the 2026 menu, first courses are around €14.50 and the traditional main courses €22.

When to go

Open Tuesday to Sunday at lunchtime (bookings from 12:30 to 14:30) and Tuesday to Saturday in the evening (from 19:30 to 22:30). Closed on Sunday evening and Monday. It is the natural Sunday lunch of a trip to Frascati: book on their website and ask for the terrace.
