This Restaurant/Pizzeria 'La Pineta da Mozzone ' is one of the oldest Restaurants of this little town, Formello, 27 Kms north in the Province of Rome.It is very well known among the local population and being situated on the first 'High ' hill north of Rome has an incredible view of the city of Rome in the distance. The restaurant is family run by Lollo his wife Elena and her sister Sabina...the children also help out and is a very friendly and relaxing place. The Menu is rather limited but everything that is served is very authentic Italian cuisine...The pasta is homemade, the meat from local farmers and other dishes contain locally produced ingredients.THE PIZZA IS VERY GOOD !!and made on the spot, as you wish, in a big wood oven.It is NOT expensive and very large servings !! Often 'Lollo ' organises 'Live-music ' nights,no entrance fee is charged and the music is often varied sometimes 'Italian ' other times 'Country ' etc. The restaurant also has a large external patio where,in the evening, one can admire the distant lights of the city of Rome and relax in the fresh evening air of the summer nights..I often go to 'Lollos ' as we call his place and have always had a great meal and enjoyable evening.
