With its informal warehouse vibe and buzzing atmosphere, Sbanco is one of the capital's best modern pizzerias. Since opening in 2016, it's made a name for itself with its sumptuous fried starters and inventive, wood-fired pizzas, including a cacio e pepe (pecorino and black pepper) pizza baked with ice. To top things off, you can quaff on delicious craft beer.
