Dar Poeta

Trastevere & Gianicolo


Visitors flock to Dar Poeta (meaning “at the poet’s”) for filling wood-fired pizzas and a buzzing atmosphere. As well as the usual selection of pizzas, served with crusts that are somewhere between wafer-thin Roman and Neapolitan deep pan, it's also famous for its trademark ricotta and Nutella calzone. Tables inside and out on the quiet street have red-checked tablecloths.
