Sellero & Ventresca
Sellero & Ventresca is a restaurant in Rome run by two brothers who serve traditional Roman cuisine passed down through their family. The menu features handmade pasta, meat dishes, and local specialties like supplì, all prepared with fresh ingredients using classical cooking methods.
The restaurant opened in 2014, founded by two brothers who wanted to share their passion for Roman cooking and family recipes with others. Through consistent effort, it has become a favorite among locals and received recognition in 2022 for its pizza and supplì.
The restaurant's name tells a playful story about its two brothers owners, whose different body types inspired the name meaning 'the small one and the big one' in Italian. Guests often feel they are sitting at a family meal rather than in a commercial space, reflecting how Roman food culture remains tied to personal connections and homestyle traditions.
Located on quiet Via Lidia, the restaurant is open most days except Mondays and a reservation is recommended to ensure a table. Prices are reasonable at around 30 euros per person before drinks, and staff are happy to help you choose from their wine selection.
The name came from a playful observation: the two brothers have notably different body types, which the owners decided to reflect in the name 'Sellero & Ventresca' meaning 'the small one and the big one' in Italian. This personal touch makes the place memorable and shows how the owners' identities directly shape the dining experience.
