“A hidden gem. Cozy, humble, homely place for good food from warm, friendly hosts. The fried calzone was the best experience in Rome.”
“We went to some really nice and expensive restaurants but this pizza counter was by far the meal I thought about most. The owners are so sweet too, they gave me a free little sweet treat on my way out.”
“Very helpful and kind, and their food was absolutely amazing and very authentic. We went back that same night to order more as a midnight snack.”
A quiet counter in a busy city
Via Urbana is one of the calm streets of Monti, a few minutes up from the Forum. Inside it is small and simple: a counter, the oven behind it, and the people who run it.
Order a slice and a supplì, eat standing at the counter, or take a box with you.
