Fratelli Trecca

The Trecastelli brothers have built quite a reputation in Rome’s dining scene, and their latest venture Fratelli Trecca continues their golden streak. Tucked just steps from the ancient Circo Massimo, this unassuming pizzeria turns out some of the city’s best thin-crust pizza in a casual, no-fuss setting that feels distinctly Roman.

The pizza here is all about restraint and quality. Each slice emerges from the oven impossibly thin and delightfully crisp, glistening with just enough olive oil to leave your fingertips pleasantly slick. The menu spans familiar territory with a perfectly executed margherita and a parsley-packed marinara, but also ventures into more adventurous terrain with toppings like chicken innards or the intriguing combination of anchovy and chicory shoots.

This is the kind of place where you can pop in for a quick slice and a glass of natural wine without any pretense. The casual atmosphere makes it ideal for a light lunch while exploring the historic center, or a budget-friendly dinner when you want quality without the formality. It’s not trying to reinvent the wheel—just spinning it really, really well.

For anyone seeking authentic Roman pizza without the tourist trap prices, Fratelli Trecca delivers exactly what you’d hope for: excellent food, reasonable prices, and a genuinely local vibe in one of Rome’s most storied neighborhoods.
