Zia Rosetta

Monti, Esquilino & San Lorenzo


Grab a pew at a marble-topped table and brace your taste buds for a torturous choice between 25-odd gourmet panini and another dozen specials – all creatively stuffed with unexpected combinations, and with catchy names like Amber Queen, Strawberry Hill and Lady Godiva. If you really can't decide, pick a trio of mini panini. Freshly squeezed juices (€3.50) too. Glam and gluten-free.
