Crispy pizza, timeless flavors

In Rome, pizza is serious business, and at Margherita Roma tradition meets a fresh, contemporary spirit right in the historic center.

Their signature dough, leavened for 24 hours and rolled out strictly by hand with a roll- ing pin, becomes the quintessential Roman pizza: thin, crispy, and irresistibly flavor- ful, available in both beloved classics and bold, creative variations. Try for example the Margherita or the zucchini flowers with anchovies or, among the special pizzas, the Underwood (porcini mushrooms, provola cheese, speck and arugula) or the cheese and pear (with gorgonzola cheese, pears and honey).

The menu is rich and generous, featur- ing golden fried starters (try the supplí al telefono, with beef ragú), fresh salads, and traditional Roman dishes, all perfect for sharing in a warm, lively, and pleasantly informal setting. Mouthwatering tempta- tions include, among the others, meatballs in tomato sauce; carbonara, amatriciana or ricotta and spinach ravioli with beef ragù; saltimbocca alla romana, braised beef with mashed potatoes and, as a sweet finale, caprese cake with pistachio sauce or panna cotta with white chocolate and strawberries.

The wine list traces an ideal journey through Italy, and is thoughtfully curated to comple- ment and elevate every dish. Each label is handpicked, featuring both celebrated pro- ducers and small local wineries.
