Ristorante Pizzeria Popi-Popi In Roma

09/03/2025: NON-touristy place where you can really taste typical Roman dishes with an ancient flavour, where both in the kitchen and in the dining room you will find only truly local staff and not the classic Pakistani who peddles the cuisine of the past.. Friendly, courteous and super customer-focused staff. CHANGE OF CUTLERY WITH EVERY COURSE!!!! Antonino, the maitre, truly "old school" manages the room impeccably!! We stopped for lunch as a couple, we tasted the courgette flowers, crunchy on the outside, tasty on the inside with stringy mozzarella, a spaghetti of fresh pasta carbonara, a fresh spaghetti amatriciana, where I had to make a shoe for the goodness!!!! A cut, different from the others, already sliced ​​and placed rare on the plate with slices of crispy potatoes with a tender heart. For dessert, a fabulous tiramisu with Pavesini biscuits, although the recipe calls for ladyfingers, really good! Very particular strawberries with lemon, you can't see the classic squeezed lemon juice but the strawberry seems hard and solid, instead it melts in your mouth with the lemon aftertaste! There is an abundant bread basket where in addition to the latter you will find various types of breadsticks, Doria crackers and Acqua caffè. Slightly above tourist prices but worth it! You will be seated enjoying an excellent lunch very calmly without confusion and not to be forgotten with the MICHELIN GUIDE logo

09/03/2025: Lovely, old world restaurant with white coated waiters serving Roman favourites. Food is good, service very good, prices not the cheapest, atmosphere wonderful. A place to feel spoilt. If I lived in Rome on a good salary this would be my regular haunt.
