Rosticceria I Molisani In Roma

Outside, on Via Bergamo, the line is already a declaration of love: patient people, customers constantly pouring out laden with bags, the door that never closes in time... Inside, "I Molisani" is a small treasure chest crammed with baking trays, steam, voices, and aromas that smell more like home than a "trendy" place. I went there to buy vegetables, but I admit that the fried foods are a spectacle, and all that goodness staring at you from the window puts any diet plan on hold. The vegetables I bought aren't just a leaf to clear your conscience. The puntarelle, seasoned to perfection, with garlic that doesn't ask for permission but takes center stage, are excellent, and the chicory, bitter and just the right amount, reminds you that Roman cuisine can be both rough and tender in the same forkful. The lasagna deserves a chapter all its own, with generous portions, well-defined layers, a flavorful sauce, and, above all, none of the minimalism of nouvelle cuisine. Here, the "teglia" (a dish of bread) is an institution, and you can see why it's one of the most popular dishes: it's the classic thing you grab "to share" and then end up holding on to. The beauty of "I Molisani" is that it doesn't make a fuss, it's about substance. It's a real diner, with the pace, rhythm, and humanity of a place where you come to eat well, spend a fair amount, and feel, for a moment, part of a neighborhood. The line outside the little shop isn't a nuisance: it's the prelude to lunch, a sign that something truly good is happening there. And every time I leave here, I tell myself that certain Roman institutions should be protected by law.

I recommend it for a quick lunch or takeout. The food is truly excellent. The staff is friendly and always available.

The best carbonara.. Thank you...

Excellent food and friendly, cheerful staff

I went there with my family and we loved the food— it reminded us of Turkish meals. The staff didn’t speak English, but they were very kind and helpful anyway. We’ll definitely visit again. Thank you!

Friendly staff, excellent food, highly recommend!!!!

Excellent quality hot food, very friendly staff, they also offer table service

The best pizza ever 😋 The staff was so nice and welcoming.

I would say this is a historic cafeteria, excellent price/quality ratio

We tried various dishes in the takeaway catering option. A wonderful experience. All the vegetables were delicious. Well prepared. We particularly loved the peas, both for their cooking and their flavor. We also bought pasta in tomato sauce with shrimp and mussels. It was very well cooked and very tasty, but there was almost nothing in the way of seafood. Two shrimp heads and a mussel with no flesh. Otherwise, I would have given it a 5* without hesitation at this price point. A little more friendly service would have made the experience even more enjoyable.
