Pizzeria Da Remo
Da Remo in Testaccio is a must-visit pizzeria for any connoisseur of Roman pizza.
Another of Rome’s traditional—and busy—pizzerias, Da Remo in Testaccio is a must-visit for any connoisseur of Roman pizza.
The pizzas at Da Remo are as authentic as they come: paper-thin, with their edges burned away. It’s getting harder to find this kind of pizza in Rome nowadays, and perhaps that goes some way towards explaining the crowds. The service is friendly but minimal: after sitting, you’re given not a menu per se but a list of the menu options (something like an old Scrabble score sheet), and you tick what you want and hand it back to the nearest waiter.
Prices are normal for a pizzeria, about €15 per head, depending on how much you pig out on fritti before the meal and dolce afterwards (both are good but not exceptional). And try not to let the busyness or the rushed service get to you—at Da Remo, if they didn’t rush their customers just a little, you probably wouldn’t have got your seat in the first place.
