the pizza

panini
and pizza

('red' pizza, with olive oil, tomato and oregano) are just as good.

smells wafting off the freshly baked pizzas, breads, biscuits and focaccias, you'll want to
follow suit. Grab a ticket and wait your turn.

For
a taste of authentic Roman cooking, head to this much-loved trattoria with its wood panel-
ling and spindly, marble-topped tables. It's distinctly no-frills but there's a warm atmo-
sphere and the traditional Roman food is unpretentious and filling.
