    Rude staff
    Tbd N.

    Came here to have dessert, apparently, if you're not planning on eating a meal there, they refuse service. Basically asked us to leave after we attempted to order our dessert when seated. Originally when we got there we asked to sit inside, he told us there was no seating inside, but then proceeded to let some random people that just walked up after us that spoke Italian and let them sit inside, and no they didn't have reservations. I should have know better to even attempt to stay because he had an attitude from the get go. Customer service doesn't exist. Don't go here! They are RUDE!!!

    Cannelloni Abruzzi
    Vitaly L.

    When my Italian friends found out we will visit Italy, they wrote ""Abruzzi" is the place to go! Absolute must -- have the Rigatoni Carbonara and you will use it as a standard for the rest of your life. Everything on the menu is typical Roman and Abuzzese. Located about mid-way between the Trevi Fountain and Trajan's Column. Small restaurant. Run by same family for all of the 40 years we've been going there. Rigatoni Carbonara and Cannelloni Abruzzi are specialties." And you know - everything is 100% correct! Rigatoni Carbonara - absolutely amazing We also ordered Cannelloni Abruzzi. It was great as well as Stracciatella - Broth with Egg and Parmesan cheese. Amazing family restaurant! Highly recommend!!!

    Lunch in Rome

    We had just finished our morning tour of the Colosseum and were starving when we stubbled upon this little gem. There is both inside and outside seating which is nice. We decided to dine outside since it was warm with a lovely breeze. Being in Rome really makes me wish I drank wine since everyone seems to enjoy it unfortunate for me. The staff was very friend and nice, I have to say no one ever rushes you to leave which is refreshing coming from NY. My husband had the special of the day lasagna and I have the vegetable risotto. My husband said the lasagna was the best he ever had and the noodles just melted in his mouth. The ratio of sauce, cheese and noodles were good and very flavorful. My risotto was nice, the flavor was good and the texture was good not too soft or hard. I would definitely recommend this establishment to anyone visiting the area. Nice location, people and food.

    AMAZING rigatoni, cooked perfectly

    MAMA MIA! Another spot that I can't NOT go to on a trip to Rome. Between the excellent service, vast options, and simply delicious food - this is a must. I've never ordered anything I didn't like. It's right near the Trevi Fountain off a Main Street but it's not a tourist trap

    Rigatoni Carbonara

    Best Carbonara Ever. We go to Abruzzi for one dish, but what a dish. Before we visited Rome for the first time, a friend who had lived there as a seminarian told me to come here for the Rigatoni Carbonara, which he insisted was the best in all of Italy. The Carbonara was incredible and totally different from any other we've ever tasted (in fact, I've never even liked Carbonara anywhere in the United States). Every time we return to Rome, we make sure that our flight arrives early enough so that we can drop our bags at the hotel and run here for lunch. The antipasti choices are also outstanding, particularly the Roman artichokes (Carciofi Alla Romana) and the little onions (Cippolini). Abruzzi is a big favorite of Roman priests, so don't be surprised to find a few priests or even cardinals dining next to you.

    Spaghetti Carbonara and Tiramisu!

    Met up with a friend in Rome and he recommended this place for Spaghetti Carbonara! So glad he did, after the mishap yesterday this place redeemed the dish for me in Rome! This is very much a local joint. The owners were there and very attentive. The service, wine, food, dessert and coffee were all EXCELLENT!

    Good food. I would recommend the cabanero pasta. You can sit outside and watch the people go by.

    They urged us to try the baked cannelloni, and they were right, it is the best we have had anywhere in Rome.

    Our first meal in Rome was here, and I'm so glad it was here. We arrived on Christmas Eve and…read morewanted a good meal. Our hotel manager had suggested another restaurant, but I was apprehensive to try, but did later, more on that restaurant review in it's own post. I rather did what I should have done throughout the trip to, which is to search google for local reviews. This tactic I found to be much better than to trust American reviews for restaurants to visit from Youtube or even here, just because the American touristy taste tends to favor bland or Olive Garden style pseudo Italian. The real Italian taste is much different and something one needs to develop. I was familiar with European Italian food, as I had said before in other reviews that Mexico has better Italian food outside of Italy. Additionally, the good restaurants here in Italy do not open before 7 PM. If it does or if someone that looks foreign to Italy is outside trying to lure you in, it's a tourist restaurant with iffy flavor. At this restaurant my husband had the Lobster pasta and I had the spinach/ricotta ravioli, and we both were beyond satisfied. We also had the artichoke as an appetizer, and trusted the waiter with his suggestion for a bottle of wine. He must have been some genius because the wine went well with our meal. The ambience was cozy and very family oriented, however, the rain outside made it romantic for us. Another key point for this restaurant and it traditional flare was that they brought out the olive oil and red vinegar for our salad and of course olive oil for our wonderful home-made bread. I'm so glad we chose this place for those of us Americans who understand culinary cuisine.

    Revisited after 19 years - truly authentic and will return…read more Although, we didn't have the same waiter, he is still there after 29 + years. Every dish we ordered was delicious, not a crumb remained on the plate!
