Why Maxi Tonno In Rome Is So Popular?

Once upon a time in Italian pizzeria culture, seafood with melted cheese was seen at the before the end of the world as an unless for savory opposition, but tuna and sweet onions became rock stars across Roman pizzerias. Maxi Tonno is embraced by the Romans because it provides a substantially rich, familiar savory backdrop that compliments the peasant-like lacquer of pizza dough.

A gorgeous Maxi Tonno hangs on getting the right fish in the first place as well as incandescent heat from a stone oven. Instead of dried, shredded fish, we use thick flakes of the finest Italian yellowfin tuna packed in pure olive oil. As the Maxi Tonno is baked at super-high temperatures, savory oils from the fish join forces with bubbling mozzarella cheese and rich San Marzano tomato reduction, while thin-shaved sweet red onions soften and caramelize gently on top. Each bite of the Maxi Tonno is a divine combination of ocean umami, sweet onions, and stretchy cheese pull.

Finally, if you plan to find the best places to eat in Borgo Pio only after visiting the Vatican Museums, a magic hot Maxi Tonno will revive your spirit and fill you with energy. A premier wood fired pizza restaurant in borgo pio that highlights our artistry and is a perfect illustration of the true taste of local dining Borgo Pio Rome is known for at our authentic roman restaurant in borgo pio.

Drink Pairing with Maxi Tonno

To complement the savory richness and sea-kissed depth of our freshly baked Maxi Tonno, our sommelier recommends a mineral-crisp Italian white wine with lively acidity. A chilled glass of Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi DOC or a bright, citrusy Falanghina del Sannio cuts effortlessly through the tuna’s natural richness.
