One of my favorite restaurants in Rome and the surrounding area.
The restaurant business today has become all about chasing profits, ignoring the most important thing: passion and the quality of what's served to the customer.
The pantry respects both of these prerogatives, which are fundamental to me.
All the products served are top-quality, respectful of the supply chain, meaning direct contact with the producer (something extremely difficult to find; nowadays we rely primarily on large-scale distribution, thus favoring an uncontrolled, mass-produced product).
Here, from the oil used to serve the meat to the cheese grated over a first course, we find artisanal products.
The added value of the trattoria is undoubtedly the grill.
The 4-5 cuts offered are meats sourced directly from the farm that processes the animals, so they're free of antibiotics or other junk that large-scale retailers have.
The wine, beer, and sparkling wine lists are the same. Superlatives!
The atmosphere is spacious, with attention to detail, elegant yet authentic, as the restaurant's name suggests, making you feel at home.
They recently added pizza, but have set aside a separate corner within the restaurant where you can only enjoy fried pizza and other delicacies other than the restaurant menu.
The same goes for the restaurant.
Specially leavened dough and top-quality ingredients (for example, their capricciosa with Nebrodi black ham, fried egg, and Jewish-style artichokes on a bed of mozzarella from a local dairy).
I will always return to you; you deserve it; you are food and wine professionals.

Food that's fully in keeping with Roman tradition! Well done, well done, well done! Super special coffee, but a bit pricey considering it's not accompanied by anything delicious.
The service was slow even though we arrived at 2:45 PM. We were served after an hour. Maybe it was because it was Sunday, a busy day. We'll be back during the week to enjoy excellent food without the long service.

We had dinner at Trattoria La Dispensa and were pleasantly surprised! The atmosphere was welcoming, the dishes authentic and carefully prepared, with flavors reminiscent of real home cooking. Special thanks to Valeria, the waitress, who looked after us with great kindness and professionalism: always smiling and attentive to detail. Impeccable service made the experience even more enjoyable. We'll definitely be back. One suggestion: revisit the coffee service...

The quiet environment, the polite people who know how to behave, the excellent food, the excellent cleanliness, recommended. Now they are also opening a pizza room with the best pizza in Riano but very close to Rome.

Despite being close to the highway, this place is worth a visit. The atmosphere is welcoming; I appreciated the large table, even for two. Famous for its meat, but also for its attention to the grains used in its pasta. Recommended.
