The place doesn’t try to be Rome’s posh cousin. It’s like that friend who shows up to a picnic with a portable pizza oven and a bottle of limoncello. The counter is bright, the staff are quick with a joke, and you order like you’re at a really loud, delicious party.
You’ll see suits and students standing shoulder-to-shoulder, all united by the same urgent mission: “Get that arancini in my mouth, stat.” It’s casual chaos, but the organised kind that makes you feel alive. I swear, the guy behind the counter winked at me when I ordered the “bigger” option. He understood my soul.
The Food: Comfort, not complications
Let’s talk about the arancini. These aren’t just fried rice balls; they are golden, crispy orbs of happiness. One bite, and you’ll forget every sad, soggy microwave meal you’ve ever had. They’re like little Italian stress balls, but you eat them.
The pizza al taglio (pizza by the slice) is a game-changer. It’s not floppy or sad; it’s sturdy, Roman-style, and crispy on the bottom. You can get a slice of potato and rosemary that tastes like your grandma’s Sunday roast had a beautiful affair with a pizzeria. I ate two slices standing up, leaning against a bin. No regrets.

And the supplì? Imagine a mozzarella stick that went to university and got a degree in flavour. It pulls apart like a warm, cheesy telescope. I accidentally dropped some on my shirt, and I just shrugged. That stain is a badge of honour from a good lunch.
