How to order pasta dishes well
- A short pasta section usually means a better plate — long lists are a sign of pre-made sauces.
- House-made pasta is worth the upcharge; ask which shapes are rolled in-house.
- Order the regional speciality where you are: cacio e pepe in Rome, seafood pasta on the coast.
