Is Armando al Pantheon worth it for history buffs?

DependsFor history

For history & culture, Armando al Pantheon is hit or miss.

A handful of tables, the Gargioli family at the stoves since 1961, and a kitchen that hasn't chased trends — it leans into the quinto-quarto (offal) canon Romans built their cooking on. It feels like the Rome that tourists hope still exists right beside the most photographed building in the city.
