The Boss and I spent the day walking Rome and taking in the sights and by the time we were ready to dine, we were done with the heat, the noise and the hustle of the city. We wanted a quiet dinner and Alessio Ristorante delivered. We were drawn in by the sunken dining area, as though transported to a cool, quiet yet cozy dining room away from the city. We were seated and brought bread and water and given space to decide on drinks. When communicating our drink choices, we were informed of the evening dinner special and decided to take them up on the offer. We started our meal with a ricotta and basil ravioli with a rich, fresh tomato sauce and followed it with the catch of the day, a beautiful sea bass. As we sipped our drinks, The Boss a Bellini, me a Hugo Spritz, we were presented with the whole baked sea bass to view and approve. It was then whisked away and plated with sliced, braised potatoes and cherry tomatoes with rosemary and onion. By far, the bass was the freshest most flavorful, moist fish I have ever consumed. As though it brought the Mediterranean Sea with it to the table. When finished, we enjoyed a limoncello apéritif, and left happy, full and feeling as though we had really experienced an authentic Italian meal. Grazie mille, Alessio. Eccellente.

Fantastic and no tourists. Food was flavorful and very reasonably provided. We enjoyed this last minute find. Delicious menu

As many yelpers rated them at 4 stars really hit the mark even though easily a 5 star rating! Service was adequate but could tell a sense of urgency on the wait staff to turn table over quickly...but food was excellent! My pasta was excellent here. And while the calamari & shrimp dish was acceptable, i've had better in Torino last year so expectation was high. Nice outdoor seating at 7pm and there were other similar restaurants all packed just after 7p. Surprised that my Alfredo had ragu styled meat on top vs chicken but actually made it flavorful! I drank practically whole bottle of Panna aqua because of the heat all day at 96 degrees! Hubby had a Tuscan wine and an old fashioned cocktail which helped refreshed him! Overall a great option in between our hotel and Termini area!

We went to Alessio after looking for a good restaurant within walking distance of our hotel. We called for a reservation for outdoor seating, and when we got there, they accommodated us at a table for 7 outside. Since for a few of us, it was our last night in Italy, we were looking for a few traditional meals and Alessio delivered! We enjoyed their Insalata Mista, Fritto Mista, Carbonara, Fettuccini Ragu (AMAZING!), Risotto Scampi, Lasagna, and Cacio e Pepe. Everything was EXCELLENT and we sent my daughter and her new husband there the next week after their honeymoon in Sardinia. A truly wonderful experience!

My daughter found Alessio for our final dinner in Italy. We had a memorable meal there! The staff was helpful. The restaurant was bright and comfortable. I had a very nice seafood salad with oranges and olives. Truly vibrant flavors. I shared some of the cheese platter that we had for the table, also quite good. I really enjoyed their cacio e pepe, not overly peppery but certainly well crafted.

T bone steak more than plenty for 4 people for a good price. Tasted delicious. Came with a salad

I came in with two friends for an early dinner. We sat inside. The dining area is cozy and there is also outdoor seating. Our servers were very attentive and our food came out quickly. I had the rigatoni carbonara and it was delicious. I would definitely come back.

This is an authentic Italian meal. Our waiter's English was not the best. The salad was a good size. In Italy, it appears that healthy food is a must. Ordering a Caesar salad will get you a salad with a choice of olive oil or vinegar for dressings. No American Caesar salad dressing here. Healthy! I wanted the ravioli special without the artichokes, but I couldn't convey that to my waiter, so I keep the artichokes. I should never have removed them. My chicken with tomato sauce was not boneless chicken. It tasted good, but I had to remove some bones. My wife had the lamb with potatoes. The potatoes were great. The lamb was a little tough. It was a bigger portion than what I had yesterday. I think my wife may have asked it to be cooked a little more well (which would make it tough). The bathrooms were individual coed. One bathroom door to 4 individual toilets with their own sink. The service was fine. The place looked of hardwood and shine.

The wife and I @ Alessio Ristorante - Rome - August 24, 2023.

AWARENESS: Walking around the Monti area near our hotel in Rome, the wife and I happened upon this gem of a restaurant. NARRATIVE: Hosting both outdoor and indoor seating (indoor seating has air), this place will not disappoint. Because the weather outside was a balmy 104 degrees. The wife and I decided to dine indoors. Once seated, out sever handed us menus and explained the specials for the day. Starting with both sparkling and plain waters, we also asked for a liter of their red house wine (wine was only 12 euros). We also decided on our meals. I headed straight for the primi piatti (first course) and secndi piatti (main course) meals, deciding to skip the antipasti, contorni (sides) and dolci (desserts). My first course (pasta) was the Fettuccine Ragu with mushrooms and I went with the Veal Saltimbocca for my main course. Absolutely amazing stuff! SCENE: Located on the corners of Via Del Viminale and Via Principe Amedeo in the Monti area of Rome, Alessio Ristorante is a must stop to eat place if your near either the Colosseum or the Roma Termini train station. Both places are within walking distance from Alessio's. RECOMMENDATION(S): My only comment is: When in Rome....

Olga R.

One of the best meals we ate! Service was top-notch. Would definitely eat here again on our next trip.

E.l. J.

Simply delicious! Great price point too! I read the reviews and decided this is where we would get dinner. Started with the bruschetta trio and it was delectable! I got the Rigatoni Carbonara and my brother got some sort of pasta with meat sauce, it was the Special. We had the fried calamari and shrimp too! When the meal was complete, they brought us a shot of Lemoncello. It was very strong! Highly recommend!

We came here to eat based on high Yelp reviews but were disappointed in its authenticity after eating here. Seating/location: indoors and outdoors, but we sat outside. Before even realizing this was a restaurant, the waiters already are asking you if you want a table for two. Of course we were looking for this restaurant based on our research, but seeing how over eager they were to seat you led us to believe this was a tourist trap. It's also very close to the local train station, so if you're sitting outside, be prepared to witness a bunch of people walking by with their suitcases. Staff: friendly. The ones that dealt with us kept their distance, and respected our space. There was one waiter serving the table next to us that was quite over friendly and obnoxious. After taking their orders, the one waiter challenged them to get a different drink/meal he recommended which they obliged to but then once the meal came out they were confused with the dish they received. It was awkward to witness. Separately and not an issue, but I did notice that all but one waiter appeared to be of Italian descent, which has me wondering about the restaurant's authenticity in terms of the quality of the food. Service was quick though and we were seated quickly with no reservation. Food: - bruschetta al pomodoro: bread was not very toasty and the there were no greens. We've had better at other Italian restaurants outside of Italy. - prosciutto e melone: the meat was good. The melons were slices and not balls/chunks which I found interesting since you had to cut with a fork and knife instead of doing one bite (not sure which one is the more authentic style). The melons were strangely very orange almost to the point of being food colored. - rigatoni alla carbonara: my BF got this and thought it was okay. We had other carbonara during the trip and he wouldn't necessarily come back to alessio and get this. If you want good carbonara, go somewhere else! - tonnarelli ai frutti di mare: I wasn't really impressed with the starters so was nervous about my entree. I was pleasantly surprised. I've never had this type/cut of pasta before, but I learned it's one of my favorites now! It's like a udon styled pasta. The sauce was phenomenal and light with some great seafood options mixed in. It was the perfect portion and I would go back to this place solely for this dish! Overall, we give this place a 3. There were some good dishes, but really inconsistent. We've had better options at other places. If you need to eat and don't have a reservation, come here. It'll do the trick, but won't be your best meal while in Rome.

Was staying in the neighborhood and decided to come here for dinner. There was about a 20 minute wait and we got seated outside. Service was very friendly but was a bit slow. Ordered the following: Bruschetta - very very good. Much better than the place we had before. Grilled Sea Bass - wife ordered this and loved it. Said it was amongst the best fish she's had. Pasta Cacio E Pepe - had heard this was a Rome staple so finally tried it. Really really liked it a lot. Decent size portion and the pasta was very fresh. I think we ended up spending around $38 euro so it wasn't bad at all. Definitely a pretty good place to go. We would definitely return. read more

No reservation on New Years Day? No way, right? Wrong...these awesome folks found the perfect table for us and were happy to do it, no problem. Handmade pasta with bacon (no dried commercial stuff here) that was perfectly done, veal in white wine sauce, fried calamari. Finished with tiramisu and two cappuccino...oh, and a shot of limoncello..this was the highlight meal of our short trip to Rome. Walked by the first night we were in town and peeked in downstairs and saw a well lit, clean and bright cozy interior. We should have stopped right there and then, because had we done so, we would have eaten here every day. Great staff. Professional, welcoming, warm, accommodating...even silly tourists like us. But even better? Best food we found in Rome. Do it...just do it. read more

Pretty good overall. We went based on the reviews we read. The seafood salad and my son's fettuccini with Bacon were big hits. I too was disappointed they charge 4 Euros for bread without even asking if you want it. We def would not of needed or gotten it if we knew. My sons veal again, a hit but my daughters seafood pasta and the pizza were somewhat lacking in flavor. The staff have a very upbeat attitude but they are very busy... Sit outside of you can...

This was my second visit to this little gem within six months..it's a must do when we visit Rome. Service is professional and good humored, the location is favorable and there are both inside and outside dining areas..prices are extremely reasonable s it's a more casual atmosphere. So...the food...outstanding!!! Our party of four had the artichokes as starter, then various pasta and seafood dishes.The Cacia e Pepe pasta was perfect..homemade and al dente. Highly recommend this lovely little restaurant. read more

If you have plenty of time and don't mind waiting, you found your place here. We were seated at 8:10 and our first course came at 9:30. And, it was only cold cut and cheese and a calamari and shrimp appetizer. Then, waited for another 35 mins before our main dishes showed up. We ordered a grilled sea bream but they did fry instead. A lonely fillet with tons of bones and no flavor, A seafood pasta, the first messed up pasta in Italy. It was so over cooked, it is pathetic. The shellfish usually is very fresh in Italy but this one has no taste of ocean or land. Just plasticky. The sauce was fine but not enough to save the meal. Then, we had the T-bone. OMG, a big piece of chewing gum. See photo. Don't waste your time, go somewhere else. The only 1 Star is for the service. Although rough around the edge, they were responsive. The bill came at €120 including a bottle of Chardonnay. read more

Tucked away down a staircase this little place was very busy so we were glad to have reservations. Our waiter was helpful and encouraging of my attempts to order in Italian, offering nuanced pronunciation tips which was a lot of fun. The mixed bruschetta appetizer was amazing as was the buffalo mozzarella. Had an excellent moscato to accompany my cacio e pepe. My wife had the scampi risotto which was not at all "fishy", had very delicate taste. Finally, the canolli was rich and wonderfully creamy. Best meal we had in Rome. read more

I found this place from the great review it got on Yelp. My cousin and I decided to try it and it's lived up to our expectations. I got the chicken with pepperoni sauce and it was delicious. I also had fries that were perfect and not too greasy. My cousin got the grilled sea bass and artichoke alle romana and she loved hers as well. The atmosphere is pretty and quiet. They also have amazing bread which is home made. The service is friendly and they don't rush you to finish and leave. Only downside was we were sitting outside close to where people can go out and smoke. So I smelt a lot of cigarette smoke by my spot. Other than that i recommend this spot in Rome! read more

Today is my daughter and I's first day in Rome , and we wanted to have some good Italian food. This restaurant was just a few minutes from our hotel we were staying at, and the reviews were pretty good, so we decided to try it out. When we first arrived, the restaurant was pretty crowded, and one table was ahead of us. After waiting around for 15 minutes, we were lead to our seat and given our menus. Service was quite slow after that. The food around us looked really yummy, and we were eager to order. However, the waiter decided to set tables for nonexistent customers rather than take our order, and we were left waiting for maybe 20 minutes or more. The waiter was very apologetic after that, and our drinks soon arrived, so that helped the mood to improve. After half an hour, our food arrived. It was definitely worth the wait. I ordered a risotto with truffle and porcini mushrooms. They were Delicious. The truffle (a favorite ingredient of mine) stood out, and it wasn't so soft that it was mush, but it wasn't so dense that it was chewy. It had just the right texture for the dish. My daughter ordered a filet steak with green pepper sauce. As I'm a vegetarian, I couldn't have it myself, but from my daughter, it tasted great and was cooked really well. All in all, food is good. Service could use some improvement. I would come back next time when we are in Rome. read more

Alessio was the first place we ate in Rome. We really only chose it because it was near our hotel, which was fairly touristy. Because of that, our expectations were quite low. Wow, were we blown away. Some of the very best service and food we had in Rome. Super simple, straight to the point dishes that never failed. The steak and potatoes was simply amazing. Pizza was totally on point: super thin and crispy, vibrant ingredients, tasty sauce. And the pastas we had were really perfect. Try the "Strangled Priest" seafood pasta. Oh, and the lasagna...best I've ever had. The service was especially good. They really know how to help out with the wines and know everything about all the dishes, which is the way it should be. Sometimes you dine at places where the servers haven't even tried everything on the menu; this was definitely not the case. On our 14 day trip to Italy, this was the only restaurant we went to twice. You cannot go wrong here. read more

Food was really good! I had the grilled beef with vegetables and potatoes and it was sooo good. I also asked the waiter to recommend a red wine to go with it and yes it was perfect. However, when we got to the restaurant and were seated the waiter brought us bread to the table without asking and it turns out that it's not complimentary. I think it was 2€/person and I had the tiniest bite. So that was weird since many restaurants offer a complimentary appetizer or at least let you know if you have to pay for dry piece of bread. The service was OK at best, the waiters were nice enough - we were welcomed to the restaurant but after asking for English menu instead of the one we got they seemed a little bit bored of us. Price is pretty average for Rome and the food IS good so I do recommend it. read more

My wife and I were greatly offended as we entered the establishment, amid the cheerful and timely greetings of the wait staff; they had not yet rolled out the red carpet for our arrival. How impertinent! The prawn cream risotto tasted light, fresh and was superbly cooked, but the insolent chef had, by some oversight, forgotten to sprinkle gold dust on top. Absentminded? No, simply imbecilic! My chicken in pepperoni sauce was so juicy that I had to swallow far too many times during the course, and I was left exhausted from the effort. Evidently these Italians simply do not understand the intricacies of my delicate American saliva glands. The staff was so attentive, that one of them even went so far as to take away my unfinished bread plate, the cur! I said, "I shall feed you to my bloodhounds if you should ever deign yourself worthy to take even a crumb from me without my permission!" He just smiled and nodded. I do believe they knew the meal was going terribly for us, what with the lack of gold dust and my over-swallowing. So do you know what they did? They tried to bribe us with free limoncello after our meal. Naturally we were not phased, as our evening had already been irrevocably ruined! I simply cannot recommend a restaurant that forgets red carpets, has overly attentive staff, and seeks to bribe the goodwill of its patrons with meek digestifs. The night left me drained, and my wife and I retired to our Villa in the hills a shadow of our former selves. read more

They were very pleasant and accommodating. If you don't speak Italian, they spoke fluent English (and Brazilian and Japanese and Spanish and Russian, ok maybe just a little). Nonetheless, it was a pleasant experience for me. I ordered the ribeye (which everyone else did) and half a carafe of the house red. Both were good. Complementary to each other. The steak is thin cut so if you usually go for medium rare, I would go rare on this occasion. The finishing salt made it a bit salty but if you drink enough wine (wink wink), it's all good. I ended my meal with Trippa a la Romana. Yes an appetizer not dessert. Don't judge me! It was good as well. I prefer to have my tripe a bit more al dente and the sauce more thick but that's just my preference. All in all it was a good dining experience and the waiter, I believe his name was Frederico, even made it better. Grazie! read more

This is a difficult review to write. After a cold and lengthy walk around the streets of Rome, we choose this restaurant based upon Yelp reviews. The service was fairly rapid, the staff welcoming. All good. Quaint cellar setting. But something was wrong with my pasta. Noticeably wrong. Slick with oil and extremely greasy. I didn't wish to be impolite and ate about half the dish. Needless to say a few hours later I was vomiting up my life and had uncontrollable diarrhea. Yeah, second day in Rome. I spent most of the night ion the bathroom floor wishing for death, covered in my own filth. I had eaten nothing prior to this and only began to feel nauseous in the aftermath of this meal. It took me an entire day to recuperate. As I said the staff was welcoming but...I wished for death. read more

Ate here last night because of the strong reviews. The food was great. We had muscles and clams, pasta, risotto and lamb chops. We shared a bottle of Italian rosè. No complaints on the food or atmosphere, coming from two picky and opinionated tourists. The reason for 4 stars is the service left much to be desired. They only came to the table to drop off our meal and didn't give us the dessert menu for 30 minutes while we sat there drink less and ready to go. read more

Couldn't get a reservation on our first night in Rome but ended up getting to Alessio. Appys included Jewish style artichoke (fried) which was delicious. Also had the fried zucchini blossom which was ok. Batter was that of a Tempura from a Japanese restaurant. For mains, We had the spinach and ricotta Ravioli and the rigatoni carbonara. Both dishes were ok, and the pasta was extremely al dente (and we prefer a nice al dente pasta) but this was bordering on the undercooked side, especially for the rigatoni. Flavor was good but there are many other places in Rome to go. Service was nice and welcoming. read more

Small little restaurant with great food!! Couple of friends went one night for dinner and it was crazy busy. We had to wait for a table but it was worth the wait we got to chit chat and we got desserts and shots of lemoncello! Fredrico was our server and he was great! read more

One of the best meals that I had in Rome! This restaurant has a neat atmosphere and very helpful wait staff. We had a starter of prosciutto & mozzarella, which was very good. I had a pizza, which was easily big enough to share between two people. Good beer selection- I recommend. read more

Open Baladin was on my list of the most popular bars in Rome on Yelp (in terms of number of reviews) and it was close to where we were at, so we made out way in the afternoon on a Friday. Ambiance (4/5): Open Baladin looks a lot different than your typical Roman establishment. Bright colors, quirky decor, and a beautiful bar area are some of the highlights here. We sat at a table as we wanted to avoid the bar stools (no back support so I've never been a fan). Service (3/5): Typical Italian service. Not terribly attentive or friendly but gets the job done. We had to track down our waiter once or twice to order a beer and close out but that's standard fare in Europe. Food (3/5): My partner in crime had a burger while I had a sandwich with proscuitto and cheese. Pretty much your typical Italian sandwich. Fresh and adequate. Though a bit overpriced. Drinks (4.5/5): This is the highlight. Open Baladin has a fantastic selection of beers including those that I would qualify outside of your typical run-of-the-mill. They have a Belgian beer section of the menu which is always an indication that a bar takes their beer seriously. And most interestingly, for me, they have grape beer . . . say what?! I had never heard of it either. Beer made with grapes, that's a first. While it's not something I would order often, I very much enjoyed trying something new and unique like this. And here I thought grapes were just used to make wine! If you're looking for a cool spot to grab a brew, with a fantastic beer list, and a different vibe than your typical Italian bar, make sure to check them out!

A friend came here and recommended. Not sure where to start? The food or the service?!? The service was Top Notch from beginning to end. Recommendations from the sommelier, a very reasonable priced bottle of wine. Absolutely spot on and delicious!!! Okay..our server?!? He actually steered us away from a $65.00 steak for 3 to share between the three of us to the beautiful Tomahawk steak for 2 that was perfect after the three of us ordered, Bruschetta (w tomatoes and chorizo (pic shown) and 3 pasta dishes. Yum!! Seafood primo was the best by far. Did not care for the pepper and cheese pasta dish. Personal taste is all. PANNA COTTA!!! To die for!!! Leave the creme brûlée for a trip to France. We have talked about the Panna Cotta all darn day!! If we could give more stars we would!! It was a wonderful evening!! Atmosphere was perfect as well. AC, quaint, soft decor. Loved it!! Ps. Almost forget the delicious Lemincello!! Perfectly sweet. Courtesy with your check and most delicious too!! read more

I wish I could give this place less than 1 star. Mediocre food AT BEST. But, the horrible service is what really got to me and my family. Federico, our server, was extremely sexist towards me and my mother. Upon our seating at the table, he proceeded to list the specials for the night. They sounded delicious, but the server looked directly at me and my mother and said "the lamb or the steak is not for women because they cannot handle it." I still proceeded to order the lamb, but Federico looked at my father and said, "you can have it but she shouldn't. It's a manly meal." He also rudely corrected me about the pronunciation of "bruschetta," and I was insulted by his patronizing attitude. Overall, I can't wrap my head around why this place has good reviews. NEVER EAT AT ALESSIO! read more
