Three generations, one kitchen.
Osteria Borghese was opened in 1998 by Giulia and Marco Ferretti, who left Trastevere carrying recipes, a cast iron pan, and a conviction that real Roman cooking had no need of reinvention.

Their daughter, Sofia, now runs the kitchen. The cacio e pepe is still made the same way — no cream, no shortcuts. The menu changes with the seasons. The tables are still difficult to book.
