Time Out says

Da Remo is a Testaccio institution and is still more popular with locals than travellers

What’s the vibe? 

The best place in town for an authentic pizza romana, Da Remo has prime location in the main piazza of Testaccio. You can sit at wonky tables balanced on the pavement, or in the cavernous interior, overseen by Lazio players in various team photos.

The bruschette al pomodoro are the finest in Rome. A park with swings right across the road makes this a great place to eat with kids. You can try booking but they probably won’t accept: get here before 7pm if you don’t want to queue. It’s only open for dinner.

What are the prices like?

This place is no-frills in every sense of the word and pizzas are all under 10 euros, making for a thrifty and tasty dinner in good company.

What should I order?

The thin pizzas are cooked to perfection in a wood-burning oven and it’s the classics that really shine here: a pizza margherita, a pizza with sausage and mushrooms, or a pizza capricciosa with ham, mushroom, artichoke, olives, and hard-boiled egg.

Order a round of fritti to start: fried rice balls stuffed with tomato sauce and cheese, zucchini blossoms with anchovies and mozzarella, and small mozzarella balls.

What’s worth visiting nearby?

Rome's only pyramid – the Pyramid of Caius Cestus – is a short walk from the pizzeria at a busy intersection near the Piramide train and metro station. Vinificio, an expansive natural wine bar, is nearby for a pre-or-post dinner drink. And Rome's pretty Orange Garden, with a view of the city's rooftops, is also close.
