with a real love for good honest food
In Rome, before pasta and pizza, there were cold cuts, cheeses and... porchetta! For centuries the ancient Romans and then the Italians lived by eating simple products such as a cheese caciotta, lard and a loaf of bread.
If you've ended up here, you're probably hungry for something real. Here at I Pizzicaroli you will find simple things with a flavor of other times. Our specialty is baskets and mixed platters with cold cuts, cheeses and porchetta. Prosciutto di Norcia, mortazza with pistachios, ventricina teramana, pecorino di Campotosto, goat caciotta, caciofiore and even game such as wild boar, deer and horse.
If you don't feel like the mixed basket, you take a nice bruschettone, two slices of toasted bread with every good thing. Then the grand finale is made by the porchetta of Ariccia and I tell you that you have never eaten it better than ours!
You take a nice drop of wine and you're done!
What people are saying. Don't just take our word for it. Here's what guests who've found us have to say:
"I Pizzicaroli is the best food experience I have had in Rome! Their porchetta and black truffle bruschetta is worth the trip from the U.S. to Rome alone."
"If you need a break from pasta and pizza, this is a must stop that is unique. The meat, cheese, pesto, greens, and sundried tomatoes were perfectly paired."
"Simply sensational place. Welcoming and informal, with staff who make you feel at home."
"One of the best experiences we had in Rome! The food was great, but it was the staff who really gave us a great experience."
