"Set down a small staircase into a 1924 grotto in Garbatella, this unabashedly Roman trattoria presents shiny tiled walls, an arched ceiling lined with wrought-iron shelving of olive oil and wine, and red-and-white tablecloths; food is even passed through a small kitchen window. Founded by grandparents in 1967 and now run by siblings and their father (a former mover who inspired the name), the place is staunchly traditional—still once-listed with a simple price list until recently—and celebrates canonical dishes such as coda alla vaccinara while resisting major modernization (though Wi‑Fi has been discussed)." - Eric J.
