The whole experience was ruined by the service when they tried to overcharge us by 16 euros by swapping dishes on the bill. When we pointed out the mistake to the waiter, he apologized and returned with a corrected receipt, which, however, still had an extra 10 euros on it. It was only on the third try, when we asked to see the menu again, that they apologized and put the correct amount.

Perfect especially for families, and seemed to be full of locals. If the Milk Bar is closed, come here ; P.S.: the pizza with french fries on top made us shudder, but children do eat the weirdest things...for adults, the radicchio lasagna will work just fine.

Good for large groups, I guess, but not if you want an intimate experience. The pizza is okay, Neapolitan style (which is not the best, in my opinion, I tend to go for the thinner and crunchier crust of the Roman style). Try the fiori di zucca appetizer (not light, though, they are fried), and order wine all spina (on tap). It 's cheap and good enough.
