Ordering Strategy
Order at the counter downstairs—mix and match slices and arancini—then snag a table in the rustic upstairs dining room.
What to order
Arancini
Explicitly recommended as the 'house speciality,' these saffron rice balls come with a variety of fillings including spinach and ricotta, mozzarella, mushrooms, or chicken.
Pizza alla Pala
A staple of the institution, this long, rectangular Roman-style pizza is served on wooden boards with a light, crisp base, making it a hearty and filling choice.
Roman-style Cappuccino
Served in 'tea cup sized portions' rather than the 'tankers of froth' popularised by chains, it is praised for reaching the right balance of flavor without bitterness.
Nutella Pizza Ring
Previously highlighted as a 'blissful' and essential dessert for sharing, complementing the restaurant's reputation for authentic Italian sweets.

Good to know
This is a fast-casual spot rather than a full-service restaurant. The vintage Fiat 500 parked in the window makes it impossible to miss.
