La sala e' divisa da una struttura in legno scuro con travi a vista, sormontata da alcune botti. Sotto le pareti color giallo ocra sono appesi quadretti incorniciati e lampade a lanterna, mentre in basso corre un rivestimento in legno scuro. In primo piano si vedono tavoli quadrati con tovaglie gialle, apparecchiati con bicchieri e tovaglioli, circondati da sedie in legno. Sullo sfondo, oltre l'arco, si intravede un bancone con bottiglie e una persona in piedi.

About us · Roman cuisine in Testaccio, famous for cacio e cicoria
Welcome to Mastro Giorgio, we are a restaurant in the heart of Testaccio, open now for twenty years. We started out as a fraschetta, but over time we transformed and became a true restaurant, with cuisine of a certain level. We offer traditional cuisine, dishes from Roman tradition and beyond. At the moment we are open only for dinner from Monday to Saturday, and on Sunday we are also open for lunch. We are known for our cacio e cicoria, which is always a traditional dish, unfortunately fallen out of use, that we no longer see on our tables. Many of our customers come to see us exclusively for that dish, but we have many other dishes of high quality. Our chef will surely explain them in an exhaustive way. In any case, we look forward to welcoming you here under our pergola or inside our warm restaurant. See you soon.
«Veal brisket alla fornara, an amazing dish, I love it so much. Here at Mastro Giorgio we recreate what used to be the cooking method, exactly this cut of meat that was baked in the ovens left on by the bakers in the evening. The result is a melt-in-your-mouth dish, we serve it with roast potatoes and onions. The acidity of the wine, the aromas, the garlic, an atomic bomb. Come and try it.»
About Mastro Giorgio
In the heart of Rione Testaccio, this venue tells, through its flavors, the history and authentic hospitality of the Capital.
In summer, the outdoor setting offers a charming atmosphere thanks to the green pergola and clusters of grapes, the perfect backdrop to enjoy the dishes in complete harmony. The interior, on the other hand, welcomes guests with refined furnishings, soft lighting and a warm, informal atmosphere, ideal for a convivial experience.
Mastro Giorgio's cuisine combines Roman gastronomic tradition with a careful and passionate exploration of Italian regional recipes, showcasing typical products and quality raw materials. The result is a contemporary offering that follows seasonality and draws on our country's rich food and wine heritage.
Among the selected ingredients, borragine, zucca, Presidio Slow Food onion, aglio rosso and DOP extra virgin olive oil stand out, always fresh and in season. The egg pasta and desserts are homemade by our chefs, following traditional recipes. The menu is constantly renewed, in a stimulating balance between territory, seasonality and creativity.
