We went here for lunch and got a mixed board for lunch. Yes this place is small, but so is the majority of the places I have been to in Italy. That's part of the experience. We got there, and asked for the mixed board and the employee asked if we had any allergies and went from there. We left it as a surprise and we got a wonderful mix of cheeses and meats. Their porchetta was amazing and they were super friendly and welcoming. read more

Get the platter and thank me later. You can choose three sizes (small, medium, large) and then the workers behind the counter begin building your platter of deliciousness. There is a great variety of spreads, olives, and of course hams and cheese. Medium was the perfect amount for an aperitivo, all washed down with some delicious wine. The staff is a little rough but they churn out delicious stuff. Don't expect to have your hand held but do expect delicious offerings. read more

This was probably my favorite meal in Rome! When we arrived, the line was out the door, but we hung in there and found a seat after a 20 minute wail. Because there are only a few tables/seats in this establishment, you can expect to wait if its "prime time" for eating or drinking. I ordered a medium cold cut and cheese board for a whopping 10 euro, and a beer (for me) and wine (for my wife) to accompany our snack. Amazing! In total, it came out to 20 euro, which was well worth it for everything we got. read more

Such a great spot - good assortment of tasty treats and a friendly staff. We originally came here for a meat & cheese platter around lunch and it was packed! Got some sandwiches to go - pretty standard meat/cheese/bread. Came back for our platter and was so pleasantly surprised...the place is VERY tiny but we got a place to sit. Portion was great and enjoyed a bottle of wine. Great variety of meats and cheese on our board! read more

This was my favorite little spot in Rome. We stumbled in when it started raining and stayed for a while sharing a bottle of house red and a giant assortment of antipasti. The place doesn't have a restaurant license so you have to order at the counter and then bring stuff to your table but that gives the place a more casual vibe. The eatery is really small so you'll be lucky to snag a table but it's so worth waiting for one. We didn't know what to get so we just asked the girls for an assortment of antipasti and they delivered. Everything was soooooooo delicious. Like seriously delicious. Like I'm still thinking about how good it is and drooling kind of delicious. You MUST come here. read more

This was the first place we ate in Rome and boy oh BOY were we lucky to just happen to stumble on in here. It was dead at noon and we didn't really know how or what to order, so we just went for the mixed platter for two. The truffle bread was my favorite part -- but mostly just the range of the flavors and the clear care put into all of the things on the board. It was packed at night when we walked by. It's not a formal sit-down place -- more of a place where you buy a snack and pop in and out, but that's part of the beauty. Really loved it. read more

La Proschiutteria Trastevere, Rome. This is the one of the most well known wine bar in the city. In Italy, the meats taste completely different and aroma is very deep. Its nothing like the ones we are used to tasting. It has like this black and white truffle like fragrance in all of their meat. Because its not as salty, you can really feel the balance and aroma swimming in your mouth and tung. It is a savory taste that you can get from a real gourmet meats. The brunello di montacino red was just amazing, one of the best Italian wine. Aroma and fragrance just dancing in your mouth and nose. read more

Gregory's Live Jazz & Dinner Club

0.3 km•Centro Storico

A jazz club for American tourists…read more Okay, there was one Australian lady and a few Chinese. Everyone else was American. Prices are sky-high because this is a soak the tourist situation. Alexanderplatz which is the premiere jazz club in Rome charges $18 euros for a month membership - no cover after that - and $12 per drink. So once you have paid your monthly cover charge, you can hear all the jazz you want for free - or if need be for $12 euros a drink At Alexanderplatz, the performances are legendary with some of the most innovative and technically amazing musicians in Rome. We dropped over $150 euros at Gregory's. We got a perfectly reasonable yeoman guitarist. But nothing like the artistic lions that routinely perform over at Alexanderplatz. Now to be fair, we had dinner at Gregory's and we never eat at Alexanderplatz. The standard "sushi dinner" was perfectly reasonable yeoman sushi. There was so little of it that we both had to order a la carte dishes afterwards. The extra extras seriously expanded the final tab. * * * One argument in Gregory's favor: their bar is extraordinary. The bar at Alexanderplatz is mediocre. Gregory's charges top dollar for its bar offerings, but what they mix and what is in their bottles is worth every single euro they ask for. I would be perfectly happy to just go to the bar, and order a few premium beverages. I would hear my wallet cry. But I would know that I was drinking supremely well in return for my investment. Fortunately, the bar is downstairs from the club. I would not have to put up with the shenanigans in the club. * * * The problem with the club is the crowd. At most, one third of the customers are actually there to listen to jazz. The room is filled with tourists taking selfies. There are also hot-daters playing snuggle-buns. Many of them will leave mid-set so they can go back to the hotel. Gregory's is less about the music and more about selling happy memories of Rome. * * * Alexanderplatz gets a mostly Italian crowd. You are looking as musicians, music critics, academics, and all purpose artsy types - as well as normal Italian human beings who just want to hear fine music. The music is taken very very seriously. Yeah, there are usually two or three tables with good time Charlies who are doing the phone recording, party hearty thing. But this is 8% of the audience at Alexanderplatz as opposed to 70% of the audience at Gregory's. To be fair to the crowd at Gregory's, the music at Alexanderplatz is simply better. The jazz at Alexanderplatz is capable of transfixing even philistines with tin ears. Gregory's jazz doesn't put that much on the table. But the crowd at Alexanderplatz sets me up for listening to mystic, complex music with the highest level of attention and aesthetic receptiveness. The crowd at Gregory's just gets me irritated. * * * If you are in Rome with a hot date, go to Gregory's. Be prepared to shell out the bucks. * * * If you are in Rome with someone who can truly appreciate once-in-a-lifetime musical experiences, take them to Alexanderplatz. After you talk about the music for half an hour after the concert, You can still go back to the hotel. Just figure that the hotel will be the second best part of the night.

Después de una semana por Roma, y paseando por el barrio del Trastevere, nos hemos encontrado con este "restaurante/ charcutería". Lo primero que he visto ha sido unas tablas con surtido de quesos y otra de la famosa Porcheta (cochinillo asado) de Roma Hemos entrado y no sirven en mesa. Pero el trato es excelente de los jóvenes que lo llevan Hemos pedido un surtido de quesos (servidos con fruta diversa), un surtido de jamones curados italianos, un plato de panceta y uno de Porcheta. Todo EXCELENTE!!! La bebida te la sirves tu mismo de una nevera (2 fantas, 1 coke, una cerveza de 60ml y otra de 40ml) uno postre de sandia y un par de cafés. Todo por 41 euros! Cabe destacar la decoración del local y la buena música que ponen Por último destacar que el agua para beber es gratis (te la sirves de un grifo que hay) En resumen, un lugar de obligada visita si vas por el Trastevere read more

Sono venuto a questo ristorante la settimana scorsa dopo aver letto le recensioni. Devo dire che il cibo era assolutamente deliziosa. Il servizio è stato eccellente. I prezzi erano onesti, e tutti sembrano così felici. Sono stato in grado di rilassarsi e avere una buona data qui in quanto il rumore non era affatto rumoroso. Abbiamo apprezzato la loro carne e formaggio piatto più. Si ha anche gemito rosso per andare insieme con esso. Grande esperienza dall'inizio alla fine. Non vedo l'ora di tornare i miei amici. read more

Ho conosciuto questo locale grazie a Yelp e ne sono rimasto veramente molto colpito. Locale posto in un'ottimo quartiere, bello da visitare di mattina durante l'estate. Mi sono fermato per pranzo con un'amica: il cibo era ottimo e le porzioni abbondanti. Io mi sono preso un insalata con il bacon e mozzarella di bufala e la mia amica un insalata col prosciutto più una bruschetta al pomodoro. Per non farci mancare nulla abbiamo ordinato un tagliere misto per due: semplicemente ottimo. Ci tornerò sicuramente! read more

Zona centralissima, da fuori la prosciutteria ti invita con una bella esposizione di salumi in vetrina. E' praticamente un buco, ma i panini che prepara sono eccellenti. Una porchetta di qualità eccelsa la fa da padrona! Ampia scelta di vini per gustare meglio le pietanze. Se volete sedervi c'è poco posto e bisogna stringersi, ma ne vale veramente la pena! Ah ... l'acqua è gratis! read more

Sito in Via della Panetteria, La Prosciutteria - Trevi si conferma che ottimo posto per pranzo o cena. Nonostante la location sia nel cuore del turismo romano, il locale si presenta molto bene e lo staff è molto cordiale ed attento. Taglieri, calici di vino e l'immancabile porchetta hanno allietato la nostra cena e per finire cantucci toscani. Esperienza da ripetere. read more

The restaurant has good reviews and we were hungry so we gave it a try. Decor was nothing special. Restaurant was pretty empty with maybe 5 people. The platter pf cheese and cold cuts (charcuterie board) were great. The carbonara would have been if it didn't come lukewarm. Plus the pasta was too al dente for me. After I reheated it in the microwave it was much better. Service was okay and I know the server was annoyed that none of us finished our meals and asked me why. I had it packed up and like I said after reheated it was not bad.

Mostly disappointed in my meal here. Service was friendly and the location in trastavere was great,…read morebut the food was a let down. I don't eat pork, so my choices were quite limited. I ordered the crab pasta- this was probably my least favorite meal in Rome. The flavors did not go well together, and it was overly salted. I did not finish the meal (maybe had a third). The bread selection was excellent: The tiramisu was a personal disappointment as well- I was expecting a more traditional tiramisu, but the lady fingers weren't soaked well, and it was essentially a deconstructed tiramisu. (The server poured coffee on the lady fingers after delivering the tiramisu to the table). I would not return to this restaurant.

Only downside is people are allowed to smoke in the areas where you eat, so if youre not a smoker prepare to inhale a lot of smoke while you enjoy your food. The special pasta of the night was a tortellini pasta with truffle, which was delicious. The carbonara was a little too saucy for me. It was almost too much. The bread was soft and fresh. The house wine was delicious. Our server was attentive and quick.

Pane e Salame, however, was delicious!!!! On our first day in Rome, my husband and I decided to search for a lunch spot nearby (we were staying near the Trevi fountain), and I found this place had pretty good reviews. We got there about an hour after it opened and requested a seat outdoors. They have a tiny patio across from their entrance, but they fit quite a bit of people in it! We initially wanted to order two sandwiches to try more items, but I'm glad we just shared one - they were big and filling! We also had the small charcuterie board to share which was plenty of food for us both. We shared a bottle of rose, and all in all, we paid under $50 (usd) - what a steal! This was the perfect first meal in Rome. The food was incredibly fresh, the service was great, and the outdoor seating allowed us to experience the streets of Rome. 10/10 - would absolutely go back.

Our sandwiches were cut in half and one half was big enough to make the average person full. We got five sandwiches for only about €30! The place was not a tourist trap, but i have to say, the seats at the booth were uncomfortable to me, and the place was a bit small. Sorry i do not have photos. But overall, I would recommend to go here. Amo questo posto! Io e la mia famiglia abbiamo preso diversi panini e li abbiamo condivisi tutti. Abbiamo preso un grande piatto di cibo che era abbastanza grande da sfamare 10 persone! I nostri panini erano tagliati a metà e una metà era sufficiente per saziare una persona media. Abbiamo preso cinque panini per solo circa 30€! Il posto non era una trappola per turisti, ma devo dire che i sedili nel booth (il tavolo con divanetti) erano scomodi per me, e il locale era un po' piccolo. Scusate se non ho foto. Ma nel complesso, lo consiglierei di andarci.

We anticipated crowds and a wait, but there was actually no wait at lunch time and there were actually quite a few open tables. That was a bit of a concern at first (because a line and crowd usually means the place is good), but as I saw (and smelled) food coming out my concerns dissipated! Unfortunately our waiter wasn't able to identify another customer's pasta dish for us, but it all worked out in the end because I ended up loving our choices. We got the carbonara, which was cheesy and tasty,...Everything you want a creamy pasta to be! Pasta is al dente, felt so fresh and if you're from America, you're gonna love this because I felt the difference immediately. The meatballs were soft and tasty. We loved the chicory and potatoes! Those potatoes were so good I would choose them over fries (omg so American I know). I got the Mimi's spritz, which tasted like a Aperol spritz. One of my favorite spritz's of the trip! It's true what they say about Italian ingredients, and the price point is great. I tried some of my friend's Italian soda called Chinotto Neri, it's like a cola but less sweet but still tasty and refreshing. Mimi is a dependable pasta spot, with plenty of menu options for pasta and beverages. If I had more time in Rome I would have certainly returned especially given that they have several locations in the city. Highly recommended!
