Acchiappafantasmi

Acchiappafantasmi Review

This popular pizzeria near Campo de' Fiori offers pizza—and much more. In addition to the traditional margherita and capricciosa, you'll find a spicy pizza with chili peppers and hot salami, and their prizewinning version with buffalo mozzarella and cherry tomatoes, shaped like a ghost (a theme throughout, hence the name, which means "Ghostbusters"). Appetizers are just as delicious—as well as the traditional fried goodies. The menu includes a variety of items not standard to pizzerias, such as a version of eggplant parmesan with prosciutto and egg, and tongue-tingling spicy specialties. And true to the owners' Calabrian roots, they offer spicy homemade 'nduja, a spreadable sausage comprised of pork and chili pepper at a ratio of 50-50—not for the weak of constitution!

    Probably the worst meal we had in Rome. Pizza was of the school lunch variety. Seemed like they treated the locals with a higher level of service.

    Don't be fooled by the "touristy" name of this restaurant!
