Zapi

The food at Zapi centers on authentic Roman-style pizza, distinguished by its thin, crispy crust that provides the ideal foundation for premium toppings. Chef Simone Soriga brings exceptional credentials to the kitchen, having trained under Peppe Cutraro, the world pizza champion. This championship-level expertise is evident in every pizza, from the perfectly balanced dough to the precise cooking that achieves the signature crispy texture while maintaining a light, digestible quality.

The pizza-making process begins with dough prepared fresh on-site daily, following traditional Roman methods that have been refined over generations. This attention to the fundamentals ensures consistency and quality in every pizza served. The menu features classic options like the Margherita, showcasing the purity of simple, high-quality ingredients, and the Diavola, which adds a spicy kick to the traditional formula. The All'Italiana celebrates Italian flavors in their most authentic form, while specialty pizzas like the norma demonstrate creative applications of traditional ingredients.

What truly sets Zapi apart is the unwavering commitment to sourcing 100% Italian ingredients. Every component, from the tomatoes to the mozzarella, the cured meats to the olive oil, comes directly from Italy. This dedication to authenticity ensures that each pizza delivers genuine transalpine flavors that transport diners to Rome with every bite. The toppings are applied with a chef's precision—generous enough to deliver flavor but balanced to maintain the integrity of the thin crust.

Beyond pizza, the menu offers refined Italian starters that showcase the kitchen's versatility. The tartare de veau is prepared with delicate precision, while the carpaccio d'artichauts highlights the quality of fresh vegetables treated with Italian finesse. These dishes serve as elegant preludes to the main pizza course, demonstrating that Zapi's expertise extends beyond the pizza oven.

The dessert selection pays homage to Italian classics, featuring tiramisu with its perfect balance of coffee-soaked ladyfingers and mascarpone cream, silky panna cotta, artisanal gelati in various flavors, rich mousse al cioccolato, and Baba à l'Amaretto with its distinctive almond liqueur infusion. Each dessert is crafted with the same attention to authenticity and quality that defines the entire menu, providing a sweet conclusion that completes the Italian dining experience. The food at Zapi represents Roman pizza tradition at its finest, executed by a champion-trained chef using the best ingredients Italy has to offer.
