The benchmark prosciutto: thinly sliced, pale pink, with subtle sweetness. Protected designation of origin from Parma. This is the reference point for Italian cured ham.
Tips from diners
Pair with a crisp white wine, especially Lambrusco. La Prosciutteria has excellent bottles by the glass.
Soft, creamy burrata arranged on a plate with thin prosciutto slices, olive oil, and salt. The richness of the burrata and saltiness of the prosciutto balance perfectly.
Tips from diners
Perfect for a light lunch paired with wine. Not too heavy.
Rotates seasonally: might include Pecorino di Fossa, Taleggio, or Parmigiano Reggiano 36 mesi. Each cheese comes with a story card describing origin and notes. Served with warm bread and house preserves.
Tips from diners
Ask the staff about the cheeses. They know their selection and can suggest wine pairings.
Darker and more complex than sweet prosciutto: Alto Adige speck is smoked with juniper and herbs, giving it a deeper, peppery edge. Sliced paper-thin.
Tips from diners
More interesting than regular prosciutto if you want something with personality. The smoke is subtle but present.
Guanciale is harder to find whole than sliced, but Toscano versions have a distinct rind and deep color. Fatty and complex, this is the emperor of cured meats in Roman cooking.
Tips from diners
This is the guanciale used in proper carbonara. Try it sliced to understand why Romans won't accept bacon.
La Prosciutteria is a casual wine bar concept that spread from Modena, now rooted in a Trastevere alley. The focus is on cured meats—prosciutto, speck, guanciale—paired with carefully chosen natural wines and a small selection of cheeses and breads. It's the kind of place Romans duck into for an aperitivo or a light lunch.
The wine list emphasizes natural and low-intervention wines. Many by the glass. Ask the staff for recommendations based on what you're eating.
Perfect for an evening aperitivo (5-8pm)—crowded with Romans doing exactly that. Grab a stand-up spot or a small table.
One cheese or meat board (€14-18) and one wine by the glass (€6-12) keeps it under €30 per person.
