Strapieno

For pizza, start with a Margherita. If you prefer to choose by topping, the options include Bismarck with prosciutto and egg, Romana with anchovies, and a meat pizza topped with sausage, bacon and onion. Cheese takes centre stage in the Quattro Formaggi, made with 4 kinds of cheese, or in the Camembert pizza, served with honey. Choose a pizza as the centrepiece of the meal, or share one at the table alongside antipasti and pasta.

Pasta choices range from tomato-based dishes such as Pescatore, with seafood in tomato sauce, and Bolognese with meat sauce, to peperoncino with prosciutto, carbonara and sea urchin cream spaghetti. Some reviews recommend the pasta, too, making it worth considering when you want a different dish to take the lead. For rice, there are risottos with cheese, chicken and mushrooms, squid ink, porcini mushrooms, or seafood. Antipasti include caprese, Parma prosciutto and squid-ink rice croquettes, offering choices from light bites to dishes that can round out a meal.

For dessert, try the praline semifreddo, described as house-made ice cream with nuts and chocolate, or an affogato combining espresso and ice cream. Strapieno serves Italian food and is an option for dinner; beer, wine and cocktails are also listed.
