All 12 Lamb Dishes

Lamb with Spring Vegetables and Anchovy Sauce

Per Me - Giulio Terrinoni

Trastevere·$$$

€42.00

Tender lamb cooked pink, surrounded by seasonal spring vegetables and a savory anchovy jus.

Tip: This arrives pink in the center. If you prefer your lamb more cooked, mention it when ordering.

Kala Bhuna

T.O.I. - Taste of India

Esquilino·$$

€13.50

Slow-cooked lamb curry with concentrated spices and minimal sauce.

Tip: This is a lesser-known style compared to vindaloo or tikka masala. If you're familiar with Indian food, this is worth trying.

Lamb Biryani

Krishna 13

Esquilino·$$

€13.50

Saffron-scented basmati rice with tender lamb, onions, and traditional spices.

Tip: This is satisfying on its own — you don't need bread or another side. The flavors are balanced and the portions generous.

Lamb Scottadito

Osteria dell'Ingegno

Pantheon·$$$

€26.00

Grilled lamb chops finished with fresh lemon and herbs.

Tip: The chops are small and meant to be eaten with your hands (hence scottadito—'burn your fingers'). Specify pink inside. Perfect with a red wine.

Lamb With Charcutière Sauce

Nomos Ante

Centro Storico·$$$

€42.00

Seared lamb with French sauce of pickles, capers, and mustard.

Tip: The lamb sourcing matters significantly. Ask about origin—Roman lamb is often grain-fed and milder than some European varieties. High-quality lamb justifies this price point.

Hummus Mashwi

Le Streghe

Trastevere·$$

€7.50

Chickpea puree topped with warm spiced lamb meat and pine nuts.

Tip: Order this with flatbread and a bottle of wine. It's perfect shared across a table.

Grilled Lamb Chop with Herbs

Roof Garden Circus at Hotel Fortyseven

Ludovisi·$$$

€28.00

Young lamb chops charred over open flame with rosemary and thyme.

Tip: Ask for the chops pink in the middle. The kitchen respects the request, and the texture is much better than well-done.

Grilled Lamb Kebab

Le Streghe

Trastevere·$$

€13.50

Marinated lamb chunks grilled over charcoal, served with flatbread and hummus.

Tip: Ask them to char the meat well. The charred exterior contrasts with the tender pink interior.

Rogan Josh

Guru

Trastevere·$$

€11.50

Tender lamb or beef in aromatic tomato-based sauce with cardamom, cinnamon, and yogurt.

Tip: Pair this with basmati rice or naan. The sauce is meant to be savored with bread.

Abbacchio alla Romana

Trattoria Al Moro

Centro·$$$

€24.00

Milk-fed lamb braised with anchovies, garlic, and rosemary.

Tip: If you're adventurous, order this as your second course after pasta. The meat is tender enough to eat with a spoon.

Lamb Vindaloo

Krishna 13

Esquilino·$$

€15.50

Tender lamb in a powerful vinegar and chili curry with potatoes.

Tip: This is legitimately spicy. Have yogurt or milk ready. But the flavor underneath the heat is excellent.

#1285% recommend

Abbacchio al Forno con Patate

Felice a Testaccio

Testaccio·$$

€19.00

Young roasted lamb with roasted potatoes.

Tip: This is one of the priciest dishes on the menu but also the most generous portion. Spring lamb in season is noticeably tenderer.
