"Culinary power couple Francesca Barreca and Marco Baccannelli reopened their landmark restaurant Mazzo after a five year hiatus, and this time around, a relatively central location in San Lorenzo makes it considerably more accessible to many residents. The dining room has also grown from a single 12-seat communal table to full-fledged restaurant seating complete with a massive porthole peering into the brightly lit kitchen. Just like the original, the new Mazzo plays with nostalgic forms in dishes like wagon wheel pasta with braised beef and onions, which joins Barreca and Baccannelli’s classics like fried tripe with grated pecorino Romano in a pool of tomato sauce, a retooling of Rome’s signature offal dish, trippa alla romana." - Katie Parla
