22/08/2025: A very characteristic place in the charming village of Sacrofano. We went without a reservation. The service was truly impeccable, and the place was packed. The young woman who served us was excellent.
Top-notch crostini, excellent gricia accompanied by a good Chianti.
Very competitive prices.
Highly recommended. We ate in the cooler basement room with a lovely atmosphere.
20/08/2025: I'm taking the liberty of writing this review because, as a resident of Sacrofano, it's been 15 years or more since I've been to La Scaletta for a bite to eat. We're talking about a restaurant that's been a staple of Roman outings, along with two others from the village. Now, however, the former owner, tired of his job, has handed over the reins to some young but capable guys. That's precisely why I want to write something.
High praise is the least I can give: you feel right at home (just like before), the guys are smart and kind, eager to please, the quality is excellent, the pasta is handmade, and among the specials of the day they had grilled mushrooms (porcini and cardonecelli)—I had them twice, amazing! My partner had burrata ravioli with a variety of tomatoes, amazing! You could taste the variety of flavors in every bite. I, on the other hand, had the fettuccine with mushrooms (again)—excellent! Two glasses of Passerina and Ribolla Gialla wine, and we had a wonderful, carefree lunch, just like at home. Next time we'll try the Roman dishes and the meat that the waiter (a nice and smart guy) highly recommended. I may have spent a little more than average because I was crazy about the grilled mushrooms and the Ribolla went down well. Bye.
