You might easily eat standing, or get it to go when it's too busy. Still, the food is top notch, whatever you order is going to match your best experience at the best established restaurants. Pasta cacio & pepe? It's easily as good as Felice's in Testaccio. The chicory? The tastiest I've ever had, and that goes for roasted potatoes as well. Lemon chicken? Outstanding. Straccetti? Soft and juicy, truly Garbatella style. You also have daily specials, so Norma pasta is on Wed, and amazing meatballs on Friday. Interestingly enough I've never tried their pizza, but that might change soon. Pomodoro & Mozzarella is my one and only go to lunch joint when I'm working in this area - it's amazingly good, diverse, cheap (cash-only) and fast. I'd like to recommend the one thing but I quite literally think that whatever you're going to try will amaze you. Enjoy.

We sat outdoors and enjoyed appetizers and a bottle of Chardonnay recommended by our fabulous server. I usually don't love that white variety, however, things always taste better in Italy! For dinner we tried the house specials. They were unique but tasty. Authentic and true to tradition. The chicken and the lasagna. I will come here every time I find myself in Rome now.

We intended to go to another place near the Catacombs, but found it was closed when we arrived. The area is pretty remote, but someone told us of Garden Bistro a short walk away. This was a great find since we loved this place! The restaurant is beautiful inside, decorated very nicely, with lots of sunlight. They offered a price fixe lunch menu which included a glass of wine, two courses, coffee, and dessert. The food was excellent, especially the carpaccio that my wife ordered. Dessert with espresso topped off a great lunch! If you're visiting the Catacombs, look up this place and take the walk, it's worth it!

It was so good. The Napoli pizza was okay but probably wouldn't order it next time. The tiramisu was so good. Definitely very different than what I'm used to. It was so creamy and thicker but it melts in your mouth. The reason why I took off one star was because of the service. The servers were so rude. They were very short when I asked them something about the menu. Besides that, food was tasty.

My family and I started with the prosciutto and buffalo goat cheese served with oil and pepper, which was my favorite part of the entire meal. We also ordered a pretty good vegetable lasagna, a chicken dish with a delicious sauce, and two gnocchi dishes, including a carbonara-style one. Everything came out quickly, and there were unique items displayed around the restaurant that you could try and buy, which made the experience even more fun. We were so full from the appetizer that we only ate about half of the gnocchi. The owner noticed and kindly refunded those dishes, saying we should not pay for something we barely touched. That level of thoughtfulness is rare and left a huge impression on us. Overall, Masto is an amazing restaurant with fantastic food, quick service, and some of the kindest staff you will ever meet. I would DEFINITELY recommend it to anyone visiting Rome.
