Osteria Pizzeria Margherita In Roma

14/10/2025: Ristorante Scarpone is one of those rare Roman gems that effortlessly blends tradition, warmth, and authenticity. Tucked away near Gianicolo Hill, it feels wonderfully local — the kind of place where Roman families gather for Sunday lunch and where every dish tells a story. The food is exceptional. I tried the amatriciana and saltimbocca alla romana, both cooked to perfection — simple ingredients turned into something unforgettable. The pasta was fresh, the sauces rich but balanced, and the portions generous. Even the bread and olive oil were top quality, setting the tone for a real Italian meal. The atmosphere is elegant yet unpretentious, with a cozy garden area perfect for long lunches or relaxed dinners under the trees. The staff were attentive, kind, and genuinely proud of what they serve, which made the whole experience even more special. If you want to escape the touristy restaurants and enjoy real Roman cuisine in a peaceful, authentic setting, Scarpone is exactly where you should go. A timeless classic that captures the true spirit of Rome.
