Al Gallo Rosso Rome

Where pizza becomes lifestyle

""Al Gallo Rosso" in Rome is loud, informal and sincere. The perfect pizzeria to take your friends for some arrosticini to enjoy the company of each other!"

If you are looking for a pizzeria that has received a nomination for the Golden Globes Pizza of the Year award, skip this one. If you are looking for a nice restaurant - cozy and quiet, where the interiors are finely taken care of, then forget pizzeria Al Gallo Rosso, because simplicity, clamor, and a spartan ambiance are all you'll ever find here. That's precisely where its beauty lies - it's the perfect place to go when you want an evening with your friends to have fun while eating loudly and celebrating the joy of being together.

Al Gallo Rosso is not only a place for pizza but also a really nice place to have some typical arrosticini (sheep skewer), a regional food from the region of Abbruzzo. Bruschette is also something you might choose as a starter and of course some nice, fresh beer.

You will not find many other places like this in Rome, as this pizzeria is really unique in its category: it's loud, informal, and sincere. The prices are fair and in line with the quality of the food, that you get. This pizzeria is the best place to have a fabulous evening with your dears. Fast and easygoing waiters, plus the chilled ambiance around you is the secret recipe of this restaurant.

If you are ready to put aside all those comforts and are in a party mood, then it's the place you need to hit.

CSOA eXSnia

Fight for a better Rome

Trajan's Market Walkway

A path through history

"Trajan's Market Walkway" in Rome is a useful shortcut that takes you to Monti, but I use it primarily as a place to stop & soak up the ancient atmosphere.

Via Casilina Vecchia

The aqueduct neighbourhood

"Via Casilina Vecchia" is, for me, one of the most intriguing neighbourhoods in Rome. It feels invisible to the rest of the city & forgotten by modernity.

"La Fraschetta" is a neighborhood hangout in Rome for the locals -- Sandro doesn't get many customers who aren't Italian men in their fifties or older!

Via Piccolomini

An optical illusion

Ride a scooter on "Via Piccolomini" in Rome and, as you get closer to St Peter's Basilica, you'll actually see it shrinking instead of growing closer!
