The contorni, including VERZA VIOLA AL MARSALA, VERDURA RIPASSATA, PATATE FRITTE, PATATE AL FORNO, and INSALATA MISTA, complement the mains with simple yet essential side options. Pizza lovers are also well catered for with choices such as FOCACCIA, MARGHERITA, NAPOLI BUFALA, PACHINO E BASILICO, and TONNO E CIPOLLA, maintaining a classic Neapolitan-Roman crossover style. The salad selection, including CAESAR SALAD, NIZZARDA, and GRECA, adds a fresher, lighter alternative to the menu. To finish, the dessert list is particularly appealing, with TIRAMISU' CLASSICO, TENERINA AL CIOCCOLATO CON GELATO ALLA VANIGLIA, CHEESECAKE AI FRUTTI DI BOSCO, and SBRICIOLATA CON CREMA AL MASCARPONE FRAGOLE E MENTA, delivering a satisfying and indulgent conclusion. Overall, the menu reflects a traditional Italian osteria identity with reliable, flavorful dishes across every course.
