Here's the description of Baffetto excerpted from Fodor's Rome's 25 Best...
A tiny, hole-in-the wall classic that has retained its atmosphere and low prices. Expect to wait for a table.
Yep, Fodor's is right about the queue. We took a picture of this pizzeria after we finished our dinner at around 7.30pm.
The founder of Baffetto... the old man in specs (see his picture posted on the wall). hehe!

Check out the poster - As good as mothers milk! (^_~)
We ordered one Pizza Baffetto and another dish with bread topped with tomato. The pizza is delicious, it is thin and crispy, and traditionally cooked in a wood-fire oven.
However, I have to admit that the service wasn't that great. You will be yelled by the owner if you pick your own seating. (^_^') The owner will be unhappy if you fold his menu. Also, you may need to share the long table with other couples or family since the long table can accomodate up to 6 persons.
Because we love the atmosphere of this pizzeria, and the food isn't expensive, we went there again on the second day. This time we were treated well by the waiters. We ordered another pizza studded with cheese and ham, and a tiramisu dessert.
The pizza looked burnt but in fact it tasted great.
Pizza Baffetto again... (^_~)
The tiramisu dessert... yummy! And a closer look of the tiramisu (sorry if the picture looks ugly :P)
