What people say
"Authentic Roman classic away from the tourist traps! The perfect spot in the Testaccio neighborhood to experience the true taste of Rome. If you are traveling and want to avoid cliché tourist spots, this is exactly where you need to be. A special and huge thank you to the amazing staff! With incredible hospitality and patience, they helped me navigate the massive selection and recommended traditional, truly Italian sweets. Thanks to them, I tried brutti ma buoni (fantastic crispy nut cookies that completely live up to their name), a perfectly fresh classic pastarella (an absolute must-have for an Italian Sunday), and a magnificent ciabattone with the perfect puff pastry texture. Everything was insanely delicious, fresh, and melted in my mouth. Nothing artificial, just pure Roman tradition. I highly recommend every traveler stop by for proper pastries and a warm Italian atmosphere. Definitely 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"
