Natalino & Maurizio dal 1934
The evolution of a tradition
“Natalino & Maurizio” was born in the northern area of Rome as a family- run tavern, back in 1934.
The taverns (Osterie) at that time represented refreshment points that rose in the places of passage and this place was a typical popular meeting place.
At that time Collina Fleming was actually a real “hill”: expanses of grass-lawn, just few houses and with a single road that connected the city center to the surrounding countryside.
The “Osteria” was founded by grandfather Natale and grandmother Ermelinda (born in 1880) and here was where they welcomed the carters from outside Rome who stopped for a break, serving them only wine and some snacks, just as it suited this type of place.
Like any family-run business of those times, the first-born, Armando, took the reins and the place slowly began to become a real “osteria with kitchen”, thanks to the authentic, rustic but expert hand of Lina.
Lina was the chef and the teacher of the real Roman dishes of this place, Armando’s wife and the mother of those who today give their name to this activity, Natalino and Maurizio.
We have therefore arrived at the 3rd generation, the restaurant takes on all the characteristics of a restaurant, while maintaining that familiar and almost picturesque atmosphere that is still today the basis of the management of the two Zanni brothers.
Heir of that historical and folkloristic tradition, still today the Restaurant “Natalino & Maurizio”, succeeds in distinguishing itself for the good food, the typical Roman traditional menu, handed down from mother Lina and the products always of high quality.
There would still be so much to tell about Natalino & Maurizio … It would be a mixture of amazement (on the part of the listener) and melancholy (on the part of the narrator) to report the events that, from the 70s till today, have made it possible evolution of a tradition.
