This pizzeria is considered one of the oldest in Italy. Its history begins in 1888, when Ambrogio Ricci opened "Bottiglieria EST! EST! EST!" and sold wine here that he made from his own grapes.
By the way, the name "Est Est Est" was not chosen by chance. There is a legend that a German bishop traveling through Italy ordered his servant to ride ahead and taste wines in different taverns, and wherever the drink turned out to be good, to leave the inscription "EST". The servant liked the muscat wine of Montefiascone most of all, and he marked it with three "EST" at once. In the end, that servant's master drank so much of this wine that he died. But you got the point right: "Est Est Est" is a place where everything is the very, very, very best.

With the spread of electricity in Rome, Ambrogio Ricci began making pizza in addition to wine, and it instantly won popularity with visitors. At the same time, he continued the winemaking traditions and built a large cellar, where ice was brought from all corners of Italy to cool the wine.
More than a hundred years have passed, and you can still buy house-made wine here. Although today this establishment is better known for its delicious pizza. In addition to the traditional "Margherita" and "Neapolitano," they make pizza here with anchovies, zucchini blossoms, panna cotta, as well as appetizing battered cod. Be prepared to stand in line before getting into "Est Est Est," because there are always a lot of people wanting to have lunch here. Moreover, the pizzeria opposite almost always has free seats, but it is better to follow the example of the locals, who certainly know where the pizza is tastier.
