Serving the neighbourhood since 1972, this restaurant continues to do exactly what it's always done: soft, fluffy Neapolitan pizza with a raised rim that tenderly cradles toppings of gooey mozzarella from Prati del Volturno dairy, spicy salami and anchovies with Sicilian capers. Other dishes such as homemade gnocchi feature on the menu, but why mess with a perfect recipe?
