Old-fashioned tavern.
Massimo, a friendly and approachable host.
The pici alla gricia are fantastic, the fried brains and rabbit are superb.
Everything is perfect at a fair price.
I recommend it to anyone looking for authentic flavors and an atmosphere that is hard to find these days.
It will be my go-to restaurant for business trips.
Try it!!

If you are looking for linen tablecloths, muffled silence and plates decorated with edible flowers… stay away. But if you want to eat seriously, laugh with people you don’t even know, and feel at home like a Roman aunt with an apron and a loud voice, then this is the right place.
🍷 Atmosphere
More than a restaurant, it seems like an old-fashioned tavern. Long tables, mismatched chairs, sturdy glasses, the smell of sauce already outside the door. The place is small, lived-in, a little noisy and terribly real.
🧑🍳 The waiter – Massimo
A figure. Massimo doesn’t take orders, he tells recipes. He looks at you, looks you up and down and says: “I’ll bring you a crying gricia. Trust me.” And it’s impossible to say no to him. Between one joke and another, he goes around the tables like a long-time friend. And if you stay with the clean plate too long, he'll refill it for you.
🍝 The cuisine
Carbonara, cacio e pepe, amatriciana: everything done properly, without frills, with generous portions and a taste that makes you close your eyes at the first bite.
Homemade second courses, such as livers, Roman-style tripe, fried meat and courgette flowers (also veal brains) and stuffed tomatoes.
House wine (half a liter, a laugh): rustic, but perfect for the setting.
💸 Price
Incredibly honest. With 20-25 euros you eat a first course, second course, wine and you also take away an anecdote to tell.
🤝 Social experience
Once you sit down, you find yourself chatting with the person next to you. Here you fraternize, laugh, share dishes and memories. It's like being at a family lunch where no one knows each other but everyone understands each other.
⭐ Final rating: 4.5/5
For those who love real Roman cuisine, human contact and are not afraid of dirtying their napkin, this is an experience to do.
It is not refined, but it is tasty, authentic, and deeply human.

I went there with colleagues after work so we were very hungry. First of all we were amazed by the uniqueness of this place, then by the personality and kindness of the owner and finally by the goodness of each dish that was brought to us, among other things everything was abundant. It is what I would like to find every time I eat out. We will never forget it!

Osteria stuck in the past, with genuine, homemade and typical cuisine, which tastes really good! The owner is the classic abrupt Tuscan, who ultimately makes you feel part of the family. Highly recommended!

Locale molto “particolare”. Cucina casereccia come il servizio. Atmosfera totalmente “familiare”. Piatti tipici ottimi!!! Rapporto qualità prezzo buona
