About

Gabriele Bonci, nicknamed "the Michelangelo of pizza," transformed the humble Roman pizza al taglio (pizza by the cut) into a high art. His slow-fermented dough, topped with seasonal ingredients of extraordinary quality, achieves a crust that is simultaneously crispy and airy — a feat of baking engineering.

Ambiance

Bright, chaotic, and joyful. Glass cases display 20+ varieties of pizza. The smell of freshly baked dough hits you from the street. Locals and tourists crowd around the counter pointing at their choices. Utterly democratic gastronomy.
