Buona Forchetta – Italian
Golden-tiled wood-fired ovens serve as the glowing heart of this vibrant eatery, where the air is thick with the scent of charred dough and bubbling San Marzano tomatoes. Guests gather around communal tables or on breezy, plant-lined patios to share Neapolitan-style pizzas with perfectly blistered crusts and silken ribbons of handmade pasta. It is a celebration of rustic Italian soul, capturing the simple, convivial joy of a sun-drenched afternoon in a bustling Roman piazza.
