Get the Calzone. I…read moreknow I don't have a picture (it was gone by the time I even thought to take one..) but a person in our group ordered that, and honestly thats what stood out the most. I mean everything else was amazing too. Just walking up the restaurant is a treat in itself with all the cool streets and architecture nearby. But when you walk it its super homey. It had that energy from the moment you sat down that you were about to get some good food. The service was solid too. We had a big group but our waiter was super accommodating. But yea, if there was thing I can recommend, it is definitely ordering a calzone.

This food was some of the best we've had so far on our trip to Rome. So glad we made the stop in…read moreTivoli for this place alone. I recommend getting anything with artichokes in it. I had them in my pizza and my friends tried them in their pasta, and both were incredible. I also recommend knowing/using a little Italian when coming here- service was decent, but it always helps to know some basic Italian table manners/lingo. Overall, this place will not disappoint!

We had a nice and reasonably priced meal in their outdoor patio…read more To try something new to us, we ordered the fried olives for the starter. The olives ( with sausage) were breaded, deep fried, and served on a bed of fried potato skin slivers. Delish! We also ordered gnocchi with cheese and radicchio, and a seafood pasta dish. All of the dishes were very good, and the service was excellent.

When in Italy, it's hard to find a bad meal, however, near tourist attractions, not so hard. When having to choose the restaurants, I have a bit of anxiety because if my father doesn't approve of his meal, I won't hear the end of it. Needless to say, I chose this restaurant at the last second and it was AMAZING! We started with fried zucchini flowers and fried mozzarella balls (no photos) which came atop crispy French fries which was an EXCELLENT start! We ordered for mains: cannellone, fried baccalà, seafood salad, amatriciana pasta and carbonara pasta. Everything that came out was DELICIOUS and made to PERFECTION. For dessert we had lemon sorbet, prepared by the chef and it was the PERFECT ending to a PERFECT lunch on a 100 degree day in Tivoli!

The food was delicious with freshly cooked food in the kitchen. The options ranged from pastas, vegetarian, to meat dishes that satisfy any eater. The owners and workers were very sweet and kind. I loved taking photos of their restaurant that had a nice outside patio in the alleyway. This was definitely one of the highlights of my 4 week trip in Italy.

What can you say about a restaurant that makes you feel at home and steers you to authentic Italian…read morecuisine without becoming a parody? To call this a 'Pizzeria" is to lose something in the American translation. It is NOT your typical Roman pizzeria, and it is certainly not your Orange, New Jersey one either. The real restaurant in below ground level, so don't be fooled by the outdoor seating. You want to go downstairs where the action is. Marcello was our waiter. A young man with an enormous knowledge of the the menu and a smile to match. He is the owner's 16 year old son and a delight. Home recipes (tripe, boar, etc.) make the sauces jump out at you. Don't miss this place.
