Forno Roscioli Pietro

Monti, Esquilino & San Lorenzo


This slightly off-the-beaten-track branch of one of Rome's best bakeries serves delicious pizza al taglio (pizza by the slice), pasta dishes and other goodies that make it ideal for a swift lunch or stocking up for a picnic. It's on a road leading off Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II.
