If you’re tired of eating the same pizza over and over, you might try the specialties at VICO Pizza&Wine, in Rondanini Square. A place that combines art, history and cuisine in a sophisticated and cozy setting. This pizzeria, called “the most beautiful in the world,” is located inside a 16th-century building with frescoed ceilings, artwork and original Art Nouveau woodwork.
Innovation and Tradition
VICO’s menu ranges from traditional to innovative pizzas, using different types of flours and baking techniques such as wood-fired oven, steam and skillet. It is a must-try place for pizza lovers in the city. Among the most interesting offerings are pizzas with recycled ingredients and triple baked. The seasonal tasting menu (€45 to €35) includes 7 courses, 6 or 5 and changes four times a year.
One of the best-loved pizzas is the Baccalà Nascosto, a steamed flatbread with baccalà mantecato and puntarelle, an homage to Roman cuisine that combines flavor and freshness. There is a choice of twenty-two pizzas on the menu, including 3 steamed flatbreads and 2 crispy double-baked pizzas, first fried and then baked.
The atmosphere is joyful and refined, with friendly service. The pizzeria is famous for its partnership with Salotto 42, which offers a wide selection of cocktails and wines to accompany the pizzas.
