Forno a Legna Raparelli is a real institution in Marino, but it is also known in other towns in the Castelli Romani area. It is a place where the tradition of wood-fired pizza and bread has been handed down over time, keeping the flavor intact.
Here’s what makes this place so special
The specialties include typical local products, not only savory but also sweet. The undisputed highlight is the white pizza alla pala, considered by many to be one of the best in the entire province. Its “rival,” in a good way, could be considered Forno Ceralli in Frascati (also a historic wood-fired oven, which we have already mentioned in the past).
The white pizza stuffed with mortadella is an absolutemust-have, an obligatory stop for anyone passing through Marino. In addition to pizza in various flavors, the supplì and various homemade fried foods are also very popular. As for dry pastries, the desserts deserve a separate chapter. Customer reviews praise the biscuits, wine doughnuts, tarts, croissants, and cakes (both sweet and savory).
Being in Marino, the famous ciambelle al mosto, a fragrant sweet symbol of the area, are a must. In its new location at Corso Vittoria Colonna, 64, the bakery has evolved its offering, becoming a reference point for lunch. The new premises have tables both inside and outside, allowing you to enjoy your meal in comfort.
The menu has been enriched with Roman and home-style dishes. Among the recommended delicacies are lasagna, eggplant parmigiana, and other daily specials that vary regularly. The atmosphere is typical of a historic bakery that has been able to renew itself without losing its soul.
Prices are considered average, making it a stop with excellent value for money.
