Best Family Style Restaurants in Centro Storico

Freely inspired by the film Il Marchese del Grillo, the restaurant and cocktail bar were born from the desire to merge two different, almost opposite souls to create a unique and surprising space. That of the Carbonaro, which with its revelry of food and wine, inspired the creation of a Roman Osteria devoted to tradition, simplicity and authenticity in every aspect: from the choice of ingredients to the menu, from the preparation of the dishes to the room. The typical dishes of the Roman tradition are cooked under the eyes of the customers - thanks to stations in front of the kitchen - and revisited in a modern key to offer a simple but innovative menu. For example, the Carbonara del Marchese and his Scarpetta served with the iconic Roman rosette. To prepare the dishes, not chefs but real cooks, for a return to the origins when cooking was not a trend but passion and total dedication.
