Te Pio A Pizza

Seriously a HIDDEN GEM. I don’t know when people will have a chance to visit this place or have a reason to go here other than getting stuck at the airport… however, if you are in the vicinity, YOU MUST NOT miss this place. My family and I decided to stay at a residence nearby because of an early flight the next day and happened to find this place on Unilocal.We walked through small residential streets and got stuck finding it then ran into the owner lady… she asked «can I help you??» Those words were music to our ears!
We absolutely loved this place! Despite the language barrier, the ordering went very smoothly. We ordered the Olimpia pizza, veal scaloppini and vacatini pasta with red wine… all delicious but the pizza left us speechless we had to order another. The cheese on the pizza alone was fresh, nutty and delicious on its own but the sausage on top with 1 mm thin mushrooms all over created the most delicious combination.
If I ever go back to this area, I am definitely eating here again, and again, and again… I wanna eat that Olimpia pizza now actually. Ah… visit!!!

four stars for food, had the amatriciana and pizza Bianco with provolone, zucchini and bacon. all really good, and this after a week of Unilocaling through tastevere. extra star for ambience. down to earth family place (everyone is related, kids running around everywhere). the owner even came and picked us up at the hotel and brought us home after. the restaurant is sandwiched between a couple small soccer or futsal fields with adult league games going on. it’s another world from Roma.
long story short, if you miss your flight out of FCO and stay the night, this is what you want.
