Ce Stamo A Pensà
Inside Ce Stamo A Pensà
Ce Stamo A Pensà is a compact Roman and Neapolitan restaurant tucked into Via Leonina, just a short walk from the Colosseum. Its location makes it an appealing choice for those looking to pivot from the usual tourist spots to something a bit more authentic and casually intimate. The restaurant’s size is modest, so it suits small groups or pairs rather than large gatherings, which enhances a more personal and relaxed dining atmosphere.
The menu leans heavily on Southern Italian classics, focusing on a few standout dishes rather than an overwhelming list. Expect well-executed pasta options like Spaghetti Carbonara and Amatriciana alongside distinctive items such as Buffalo Mozzarella Pizza and Friarielli Sausage with Provola Cheese. The aubergine parmigiana shines as a highlight for those who appreciate rich, layered flavors beyond the standard pizza-and-pasta fare. Accompanying the meal, the Aperol Spritz and a balanced selection of white wines contribute to a traditional Roman dining vibe.
Service here leans warm and inviting—the owner’s presence creates a welcoming touch often remarked upon by visitors. Customers find the staff genuinely accommodating, with gestures like complimentary appetizers and small treats that make the experience feel less commercial and more like dining among locals. While the interior is simple and seating limited, the atmosphere carries a friendly neighborhood feel rather than the rushed environment found at nearby busier eateries.
Ce Stamo A Pensà is best visited during quieter meal times if you want to avoid waiting, though sampling their fried pizza while in line captures a little of the restaurant’s approachable, no-frills hospitality. It suits those seeking a genuine Roman meal experience, especially travelers who appreciate a break from the usual tourist traps and want some of the regional Southern Italian flavors framed by local hospitality and thoughtful attention.
