Pizzeria trattoria Marco & Sonia In Mandela

22/06/2025: This was my first meal in Rome. Absolutely delicious and great service. Eyasu and Momo were awesome and the owner Rita were so welcoming. Love the presentations as well of the Balsamic, olive oils and chocolates. Very cozy place, lots of choices and food is delicious. Muito bon. Bon appetit!

16/06/2025: I originally planned to visit a nearby restaurant that’s a bit Instagram-famous, but they were fully booked. On a recommendation from the waiter at that spot, I wandered around the corner to this place—and I’m so glad I did! The atmosphere had great vibes and a lovely outdoor area. My server, Momo (apologies if I got the name wrong), was fantastic. I trusted his recommendations for every course, and he absolutely delivered—he suggested some of the best local wine I’ve ever tasted! I started with a meat and cheese selection, followed by cacio e pepe gnocchi, and finished with tiramisu. I don’t have photos of the second half of the meal because the lovely Momo kindly charged my phone for me as it was out of battery. He even brought out some special local chocolate with a pairing that was absolutely delightful. This place is incredible. Don’t sleep on it!
