It was our first meal in Rome and it didn’t disappoint. We got 4 pizza pieces to share. All of them were light, crunchy, crispy and fresh. The staff were also helpful!

Our first meal after landing and it was delicious! The tuna sandwich was better than anything I could’ve thought of myself! The employees were super nice and attentive even though we could only speak English with them!

Highly recommend if you’re looking to pick something up.

By the way they also have desserts! We didn’t get to try them this visit but will definitely be back before we leave.

This pizza / restaurant was excellent and offered great service. The pizzas are light, crunchy, and with tasty toppings. The pasticceria items are not as great. The peach tart was thick, difficult to eat and we unfortunately found a piece of plastic in the marmelade. We mentioned this to the staff and our tart was promptly replaced. It was unfortunate, but we were satisfied with the staff response.

Crisp pizza cut to the size you want. Lots of choices. Their baked desserts look amazing- I was already full from the tasty pizza, so didn’t try the desserts baked on site.
Clean, lots of windows, friendly even with my limited Italian.
