Margherita DOP
$14San Marzano tomato, fior di latte, basil, olive oil
Neapolitan pizza from the oven Nonna Rosa lit in 1974, two streets back from the river in Trastevere. A queue out the door by eight, and worth it.
The Room
Forty covers, one oven, and a bar that stays open after the kitchen closes.

Under the green awning on Vicolo del Cinque. The nearest tram stop is Belli, four minutes on foot, and the cobbles are worth the walk.
The kitchen closes half an hour before the door.

Pick a night and we will hold the table for fifteen minutes past your time. The kitchen closes at eleven, the bar rather later.
Our Story
Nonna Rosa lit this oven in 1974 with a sack of flour and a rented room off the vicolo. It has not gone out since, and the dough recipe has not changed a word.
412 Reviews On Platforms We Do Not Own
Every one is on a platform we do not control, which is exactly why we are showing you the four-star one as well.
“Best margherita south of the river and I will argue about it. The crust has actual char on it, not that pale supermarket nonsense.”
“Booked for eight on a Saturday expecting chaos. Sat down at ten past, plates out by half.”
“They sent a whole separate gluten-free menu over before we came. My daughter cried a bit.”
“Three stars, and only because it is genuinely too loud to talk on a Friday. The food is a five. Go on a Tuesday and it is perfect.”
“We turned up with a pram and a toddler and nobody sighed. That is rarer than good pizza.”
“The dough is a forty-eight hour ferment and you can taste every hour of it.”
