This fine old-school neighbourhood pizzeria has been slinging out thin, crispy Roman pizzas for as long as most locals can remember. Little has changed over the years: the spartan tiled decor is dated, service is gruff, and the menu is much as it always has been, with bruschetta, fried starters, classic pizzas and frozen desserts. There are pavement tables.
