“ Stumbled upon La Latteria while searching for a restaurant that doesn't serve the usual traditional stuff, and indeed we were lucky. We had a baccalà on caramelized onions, a beef tartar with stracciatella (which is pulled mozzarella in cream) with pistachio crumbles and an excellent grilled tuna. The wine offerings is a bit limited, but the food is excellent. ”
“ Had a very nice & tasty lunch here. Went in here accidentally thinking it was just a store and decided to stay and eat too. Cozy and intimate atmosphere. The staff wasn't very friendly or helpful, but it was alright in the end. The straciatella was my favourite thing. ”
