Forno Ceralli, located at 15 Piazza Bambocci in Frascati, is a historic institution in the Castelli Romani, active since 1920 and the only remaining wood-fired bakery in town. Housed in a building dating back to 1380, the bakery has been run by four generations of the Ceralli family, who have kept the artisan tradition alive with products of the highest quality.
Specialties include:
- White pizza alla pala: the flagship product, which can be accompanied by porchetta, always cooked by them
- Low, well-cooked red pizza
- Wine donuts, tozzetti, chocolate chip cookies and the famous pupazza frascatana, a symbolic cookie with three breasts (two for milk and one for wine)
- Wood-fired loaf of bread made according to traditional methods, as grandmother Rosanna wanted
In summer you can also eat at Forno Ceralli’s Fraschetta Gourmet with outdoor tables. Here you can enjoy traditional Roman dishes such as: meatballs with sauce, tomatoes with rice, pasta dishes, supplì and much more.

History and Tradition
The bakery was purchased by the Ceralli family in 1920 and is still operating today with the same original wood-fired oven. During World War II, it was a point of reference for the local community, even in the most difficult times. Figure of reference was Eugenio’s mother, the lovely Mrs. Rosanna (always present in the store until her passing).
Forno Ceralli was also listed in the 50 Top Pizza guide, which recognizes its excellence among the must-visit addresses for lovers of pizza and artisanal products.
