Update of our last post “TOURIST-FREE RESTAURANTS IN ROME. THE TESTACCIO DISTRICT“
To eat a pizza in Testaccio, I absolutely recommend “Pizzeria Nuovo Mondo”.
I went to eat a pizza with some friends in this historic pizzeria and had a fantastic experience. Watching 4 “pizzaioli” (pizza tossers) work their craft at the same time in front of a wood-fire oven was incredible.
Pizzaioli at Work!
The pizza, thin crust “alla romana” (Roman style), was delicious, as were the super-Roman “supplì” (balls of rice, filled with ground beef, tomato sauce, and mozzarella, rolled in bread crumbs and egg and deep fried) and filet of baccalà (a local cod, simply rolled in flour and deep fried). The locale is relaxed and casual, with fast service and friendly servers. Wait a few minutes until an outdoor table opens. In short, we highly recommend this place – a real tourist-free pizzeria in Rome!

[…] But that’s all changing. For centuries the triangular-shaped zone was the home to the working class since it served as the city’s central port location for trade along the Tiber. The neighborhood is characterized by the Monte Testaccio which is actually an artificial hill made from millions of broken pieces of pottery dating back to ancient Rome. More recently gentrification efforts are transforming this corner of Rome from a working-class neighborhood to a burgeoning center for cultural, creative, and culinary innovation.
