3. TRATTORIA LUZZI: Luzzi’s is a landmark in the Celio neighborhood. The staff are loud and funny - even a bit sassy - and the food is no-frills yet delicious. The menu has many options including pizza, pasta, and second courses such as roast chicken or lasagna. The price is just right as well, with a plate of pasta from €6. If the wait is too long, you can always check out Luzzi’s #2 around the corner - a slightly more upscale version.
