Trattoria Pizzeria del Gran Paradiso In Tivoli

30/06/2025: Small pizzeria in the upper part of Viale Medaglie d'oro. Neat and tidy environment, both inside and outside. There aren't many tables also because they are properly spaced. Excellent fried food (the supplì cacio pepe e gamberi is worth applauding!), very good pizza, height and edge just the right balance between Roman and Neapolitan, perfect dough and cooking. Wide but not exaggerated choice between classic, revisited and "gourmet". Friendly and punctual service. Fair bill. Five stars deserved.

27/06/2025: By now there are no more secrets or things to discover, since the pizzeria at 384 has been a point of reference for Romans for years, but I say for all lovers of good food. The architect of this success is undoubtedly to be attributed to Roberto Ferrone, a talented young pizza chef, and his staff who, without much fanfare, have managed to transform this place into a shop of taste. The place is not very large but it is enough to accommodate customers both inside and outside. The menu includes traditional pizza and fried foods such as the classic suppli, but that's not all, in fact, next to the evergreens, this place offers delicacies depending on the season and the period, in this period for example they have on the menu the fried sandwich with Cetara red tuna, lime mayo and tomato. Let's talk about pizzas, here they use a selection of stone-ground flours, I like to define it as it has been defined, that is, a hybrid between Roman and Neapolitan, pronounced edge and thin center. The oven used is electric. Personally I have been coming here for a few years now and the thing that has always surprised me positively in addition to a long-lived dough capable of combining two traditions and the always balanced and harmonious topping, the rule of 384 and few but well-balanced ingredients. I cannot fail to mention this evening's pizza which in a certain sense embodies the meaning of my words, the thing that I particularly appreciated was the fact that the porchetta was not put in cooking but rather out of the oven and I won't even say the reason why I agree with the pizza chef, the success of a place lies in the fact of maintaining the desire and passion for cooking as if you always had to please a small audience of customers, forgive the term a food shop, these guys have not lost their hunger and desire to assert themselves in a panorama that today is characterized by stereotypes dictated more by a vision of social purposes that will bring visibility, but I believe that even today authenticity is still a precious gift that few possess. Keep it up guys.
