"Lovely bakery right in the heart of Trastevere, with great pizza al taglio."

Luciano Pignataro

"Pizza Bianca or Pizza Rossa? The 10 best in Rome: La Renella Panificio - La Renella stands out for pizza bianca and pizza rossa that are well seasoned and topped with a drop of oil in the last moment to enhance the aromas."

Elizabeth Minchilli

"Known for it’s large loaves of rustic bread, they are also the makers of some of the best loved pizza by the slice in Trastevere."

Carey Jones

"If you’re looking for pizza bianca across the river, La Renella is a decent bet, with enormous slabs pulled from the ovens every twenty minutes or so. Fresh, hot, and liberally salted, Renella’s pizza is a fine specimen."

Maria Pasquale

"For the best pizza bianca, visit: La Renella Bakery (Trastevere)."

Susan Palmer

"Our favorite place for pizza al taglio was in Trastevere – it’s a hidden gem but worth seeking out. I highly recommend you seek out La Renella and grab a slice of their pizza. The toppings are fresh and seasonal."

Eleonora Baldwin

"Leave room for at least one slice of the house crostata with ricotta and chocolate."

Cristina Cantarelli

"Have you ever eaten 150-year-old pizza? I have and it is dee-licious. La Renella is probably the most authentic pizza you will ever eat – and the oldest! Pizza is ordered in the old-fashioned way known as pizza al taglio (pizza by the size, not slice). It’s cut and weighed-to-order so all you have to do is tell them how big you want it"

Elizabeth Sankley

"If you only try one pizza place in Rome (why?!) then do La Renella. This place has been open since 1860, and they burn hazelnut shells in the oven instead of gas or wood."

Melissa Rivieccio

"One of the oldest “forni” or bakeries in Rome, here, you’ll sample a fresh-out-of-the-oven pizza margherita (the original and traditional Italian pizza flavor) “al taglio,” or by the slice. Yum!"
