Just a huge slab of steak but grilled to perfection. Get a table close to the kitchen and you can watch eveything being prepared by the very friendly and welcoming staff. This is in my view the best place to eat in Grottaferrata. Even if you're visiting Frascati 2km away, put this place on your must do list. Tell them Adam sent you. In fact I'll probably be there anyway :)

She had limited English skills, still far better than my Italian, but was patient with us and curated the best restaurant meal of my life. Unless you have a lot of issues with seafood, come here without inhibition and eat whatever they serve you. You're in good hands.
