A friendly, neighborhood Roman trattoria-cafe with daily-changing boards, standout pastas, and very low prices; great for locals and casual meals.
Mastico earns its A- grade through excellent food quality anchored in confident Roman cooking and attentive, friendly service that makes diners feel welcomed. The tree-lined terrace setting and exceptional value strengthen the appeal, though the small space and rotating blackboard menu prevent the consistency and destination draw needed for grade A territory. A reliable neighborhood favorite that delivers honest, well-executed dining at fair prices.
One caveat: Small space can fill quickly; book ahead for dinner or terrace
