About the Vibe
This is the real deal — a no-frills Trastevere trattoria where the menu isn't written, the service is famously brusque, and the walls are plastered with AS Roma memorabilia. Come for the gricia, which might be the best in Rome, and leave your expectations of hospitality at the door. You're here for the food, not the welcome.
Why it's worth it
No menu, no pleasantries, just legendary gricia and offal in a Trastevere shrine to AS Roma — the most unapologetically Roman meal you'll have.

Before you go
There's no written menu — just listen to what the waiter rattles off and order the gricia. Don't expect to be seated on schedule; they seat you when they feel like it.

Authentic Roman Trattoria with Brutal Service
A Casa Mia (also known as Trattoria Da Oio a Casa Mia) is the kind of place that doesn't care about your comfort — it cares about feeding you real Roman food. The interior is a shrine to AS Roma, with jerseys and scarves covering every available surface, and the service is famously brusque. One waiter once told a visibly pregnant customer her baby was coming "sooner" than expected, and she was right. Don't take it personally; that's just how things work here.
The menu is unwritten, and the portions are massive. The gricia is legendary — pasta slicked with rendered guanciale fat, piled high with pecorino and black pepper. It's so rich that ordering it for lunch is basically a commitment to a sedentary afternoon. The offal dishes are also excellent if you're adventurous, and the pollo alla cacciatore is a solid choice for something more traditional. Google reviewers note the service is "rapide et courtois" — once you're in, things move fast.
Don't come expecting a warm welcome or a printed menu. Come expecting to be seated only if they feel like it, and to eat some of the best pasta in Rome. It's not for everyone, but if you're looking for an authentic, no-nonsense Roman experience, this is it.
