Ai Balestrari Porta Pia In Roma

14/04/2025: We had a great meal at Antico Arco with friends from the neighborhood. Brilliant to spend time in a low-key, welcoming atmosphere that feels and is very much a neighborhood spot. Gabriele was our main point of contact throughout the experience, and did a fantastic job guiding us through the menu and wine list. Of the many delicious items on the menu, the one that still stands out to me is the battuta di carne cruda piemontese, foie gras affumicato e polvere di capperi. Also, if you’re like me, you’ll be tempted to pass over the tiramisu. Don’t - it is now my favorite version of this dessert. Much of the leisure/hospitality space seems driven by instagrammability now. Antico Arco brings a much more genuine vibe, far enough from the center of town to all but guarantee an authentic local Roman moment. And this isn’t one of those commodified “authentic” experiences - it’s the real thing. While it’s certainly been written up and rightly praised, Antico Arco still feels like a secret garden that is known by few and treasured all the more for it.
