I. believe I remember reading a trip report of yours in which you discussed looking for the best cacio e pepe. NowI can’t find the report and I’m planning a return to Rome—where I eat primarily cacio e pepe. I hope you see this or that someone else remembers the report.
Ciao

In case he doesn't see this -- why not PM him . . .

Hi rmfish: In case MaitaiTom doesn't see this, here's a link to his blog where you can investigate. Lots of good stuff there!

Thanks for the help

Cacio e pepe is a very simple dish to prepare, and is a specialty of Rome. Any decent restaurant should be able to satisfy your fixation.

If you like cacio e pepe, I suggest you also try pasta all'amatriciana, alla gricia, and alla carbonara. They're all related dishes, and they're all found at their best in Rome. The main problems I've occasionally found with these dishes is that sometimes they're too salty for my taste, and Roman restaurants have a tendency to cook the pasta more al dente than I like.
