What to order

The plates that decide it

Supplì 'al telefono' — Dandini's rendition is famous enough that he spun off a whole fry shop (Supplizio) around it
Carbonara with half-ziti, and the Roman pastas — the kitchen's refined-trattoria core, executed with real polish
Trippa alla romana with mint and pecorino — a proper Roman offal classic for the curious
Treating it like a budget trattoria — the prices reflect the ambition — come for a treat

Why we say this

Insider secrets & local vibes

The kitchen reworks Roman staples — including a celebrated supplì — with notable refinement and lighter technique.

Not independently verified — estimated

It sits above neighborhood-trattoria prices, so it's a treat-night choice rather than a casual drop-in.
