AI summary of what 1 dish mentions say about the food
Supplì, a molten, crispy rice ball, earns unanimous raves as the must-order, while the overall vibe is one of unpretentious, Roman warmth that makes every bite feel like a neighborhood secret.
“This supplì is really fresh, you can tell. The breading is beautifully coarse and crunchy — you can hear the crunch as you bite. The mozzarella is white and stretches just right. The ragù sauce isn't overpowering, but the rice is cooked perfectly al dente. Overall it's a solid 9/10, and for €1.20 it's a steal.”
