Natural wine bar with Roman small plates & pizza al taglio
"Everything the Trecastelli brothers (of Trecca fame) touch turns to gold, including the pizza at their latest spot, Fratelli Trecca. It’s crisp, ultra-thin, and slick with just enough olive oil to coat your fingers. You’ll find classics like parsley-packed marinara and straightforward margherita, along with some unexpected options like pizza with chicken innards or anchovy and chicory shoots. Enjoy a slice and glass of natural wine, just steps from Circo Massimo." - Annie Replogle
"While pizza al taglio is usually sold by weight, here it’s priced by the piece, so there’s no surprise with your bill. " - Atlas Obscura
"At the edge of the Circus Maximus, basically sitting on top of the ruins, Circoletto is a natural wine bar and craft beer pub that serves small plates and panini drawing on the bold, seasonal flavors of Rome and its suburbs. There’s a decided emphasis on offal — tongue pastrami is sandwiched between crisp strata of pizza bianca, while head cheese is served unadorned — and a spectrum of meat dishes, including mutton tartare and grilled skirt steak. Fish makes an appearance in the forms of marinated anchovies and fried cod filets, and there’s always an array of vegetables, like romanesco cooked in oil until buttery soft." - Katie Parla
"If you’re looking for a light bite and good natural wine, along with the occasional DJ playing old-school rap and Italian songs you can’t understand but definitely want to dance to, head to Circoletto, a wine bar near Circo Massimo. It’s pretty cheeky and fun here—a sign proudly reads “no spritz” beside their wifi password “zerofucks55” and the bathroom’s decked out in random stickers. The menu has small, mainly traditional plates with a twist, a standout being their pizza bianca filled with pastrami di lingua. It’s like a fancier, tastier version of a BLT, with crispy focaccia instead of white bread, and tender tongue pastrami instead of bacon." - gillian mcguire, annie replogle
