Ar Grottino der Traslocatore
Ar Grottino der Traslocatore is a small restaurant in Rome's Garbatella neighborhood with simple wooden tables and cozy furnishings. The space feels compact and intimate, with a clean setting that shows no modern decoration.
The restaurant opened in 1967 and has stayed true to its focus on homemade Roman cooking ever since. It has deliberately stayed away from modern trends, preserving the character of a classical Roman trattoria.
The name references Rome's working-class history and the moving traditions of the Garbatella neighborhood. Visitors sit at simple wooden tables in a space that feels like a friend's home, where traditional Roman recipes are still practiced and shared daily.
The restaurant sits on Largo delle Sette Chiese, a quiet street easily reached by public transport or car. The nearest metro station is about a seven-minute walk away, and parking is available nearby on Via Nibbio.
Many longtime guests return because of the generous portions and unusually fair prices for the quality offered. The staff often share small stories about Roman food culture, adding a personal touch to each visit.
