    We got hungry after hours of walking and chose this place near the Trevi fountain to dine. busy location friendly staff reasonably priced small portions lots of options average food

    Pistachio tiramisu with lemoncello
    Maylee W.

    Restaurant is located next to the Fountain de Trevi. Our waiter Tony is the best! He recommended the pasta and pizza and it was delicious! Started with suppli, a great little starter, flavorful, crispy on the outside, tender risotto on the inside. Pizza - sausage with mushrooms- extra thin crust- excellent. Pasta was the Cacio de Pepe - not too heavy, good portion of peppery creamy goodness. We shared a bottle of the Brunello de Montalcino- divine! Great food -4 stars. service - 5 stars. Highly recommend this restaurant!

    Pesto Linguine
    Grace N.

    Serves very mediocre pasta. Disappointed as they could really showcase great food being so close to the Trevi Fountain, but I guess because they are so close to the Trevi Fountain they can get away with okay dishes. Tried the pesto linguine and fettuccini bolognese, I would not recommend ordering these items. Very standard pasta. I would recommend trying a different restaurant in the area if you're looking for Italian food.

    Four cheese gnocchi
    Fernando B.

    Great location, super close to trevi fountain. Small locale, but has plenty of tables outside to people watch while you eat. I had the four cheese gnocchi. It was good but nothing really special. Should have ordered a pizza or something else safer. Decently priced. Service is good but not very attentive since its a very touristy area.

    Pizza!!! The closest in the pic is blue cheese and mushrooms-YUM! The other has smoked salmon, white cheese and arugula atop it.

    The food was descent. We both ordered pizza. One had smoked salmon, while the other had mushrooms and blue cheese. Good customer service, rather slow, but good. The ambience was nice and quiet. This is a place where you can enjoy your food and have a good convo, without yelling over the noise.

    Located across from the Trevi Fountain, al Picchio seemed very packed every time we came down from our apartment. That's typically a good sign. So when we spotted a free table on the bottom half of the restaurant, we proceeded to seat ourselves. We didn't have one waiter, it was rotation of waiters that happened to be near us for different reasons. One person took our drink order. Another for the food and so on... We ordered... 2 bottles of Peroni (beer) Caprese salad Lasagna Pasta Primavera Tiramisu 2 cups of coffee Everything was fresh and tasty. We requested red pepper flakes for some heat. By the time they brought it, we were almost done. Although the service we received was by all the staff and I didn't know who to ask the bill from. The food is good but the service is super slow. This is something you should be prepared for and not take too personally as this is the norm in Rome and southern Italy. Definitely worth the try.

    Best family restaurant in Roma for us. Nearby Fontana di Trevi, delicious Food, home made pasta, incredible Bolognese sauce, very good vino dela Casa... The people very friendly and prices are very good ( you are in the center of Roma;)!!) Espresso was for free for us. I can only recomended.

    The seasonings were very good, food was delicious, although the spaghetti was a little hard, but the delicious taste made up for it.

    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.

They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, and if you're sitting outside on a sunny day, the staff is very attentive about adjusting the shades so you're comfortable. They will adjust even without you having to ask. I ordered the artichoke as an appetizer which was very good, I recommend getting this if they are in season. I also ordered the carbonara, and it was by far the best I had while in Rome perfectly creamy, rich, and full of flavor without being too heavy. You can really tell they focus on doing the classics right. What stood out beyond the food was how efficiently the staff operated. Despite how busy the restaurant gets, they move quickly and keep everything running smoothly, which made the whole experience even better. Overall, this is a must-visit spot if you're in Rome. Expect a wait, but it's 100% worth it for the quality of the food and service.

By the time we were seated, dozens of people were waiting behind us. We sipped an Aperol spritz and lemonade while we waited, chatting with fellow diners who raved about the restaurant. On a sweltering day, our kids were starting to struggle in the heat when the owner came outside and gave them mini pizzas breads. It was a thoughtful gesture that immediately made us feel welcome. Once seated, we ordered burrata, cacio e pepe, amatriciana pasta, pork chops, and fried artichokes. Everything was excellent, but the amatriciana was the standout--rich, savory, and unforgettable. The cacio e pepe was silky, the burrata fresh and creamy, the pork chops juicy, and the fried artichokes perfectly crisp. There's a reason people line up for Da Enzo. The food is exceptional, the atmosphere lively, and the hospitality remarkable. Without question, this was our best meal in Rome and one of our most memorable restaurant experiences.

    Super pizza place with a lot of other great stuff on the menu…read more I looked with envy at the other tables who were enjoying spectacular plates of spaghetti with mussels. * * * That said, my pizza was a grand slam home run. Many of their pizzas are quite elaborate With all sorts of exotic ingredients. I went super simple. Gorgonzola. Mozzarella. That's it. Just enough Mozzarella to cut the Gorgonzola and make for a good melt. * * * If you have never had a gorgonzola pizza, you have never lived. Just sayin'. * * * P.S. My lovely wife got a Norwegian salmon pizza. The Norwegian salmon was stacked up high on her pizza As if she was in the World Series of Poker and she was a big winner. I have never seen so much salmon on one plate. After our meal, I made a discreet phone call to the Norwegian embassy in Rome asking them if they still had any salmon left. The woman at the embassy assured me the Norwegian salmon supply was fine. That surprises me given all the salmon that was on my wife's pizza.

Being new to Rome, and having walked 20k steps on our first day, there are an abundance of options a for dining. We wanted something classically Rome nearby to our hotel. The Yelp review of this restaurant was sufficiently positive to entice us. Being American, we appreciate the earlier-than-customary dining options. We arrived at 6pm without a reservation. We were seated immediately. The restaurant is intimate and very well staffed. The wood fire oven is front-and-center and the fresh mozzarella is prominent in display. We ordered a bottle of wine ... all options are very fairly priced. This is nice. We started with a Greek salad to share. It was unlike any American Greek salad ... and a really delight. It is early June but the tomatoes and peppers were ripe and crisp and really fresh. My wife ordered the Marguerite pizza; I opted for the Gorgonzola pizza (the effusive review on Yelp was compelling). Both were solid. We appreciate the thin crust and the crisp edged. The center of both, however, was doughy and somewhat undercooked. Looking around ... the restaurant was over 50% full even at this early hour. Most were Americans. We saw a good number of diners with pasta dishes ... and none were left unfinished. Sadly, we don't have any comparisons to weigh (yet). So, I cannot affirm any "best of" citations, it this is certainly a solid trattoria/pizzeria. The staff are attentive and the food served hot and fresh.
