We were not sure what to expect on our first visit but we surely left the place after eating all our food. The Aglio, Olio, Pepperoncino spaghetti and ox tail soups were great. The garlic was well infused in their dish as well. The owner, Roberto was very gracious as well as the waitress that helped us. It was indeed a pleasure dining in this restaurant and we will definitely be back the next time we visit Rome.

Aglio Orio e Peperoncino (translates something like Garlic, Oil, and Chili, I was told) is an…read moreauthentic restaurant with Roman cuisine located on Via della Magliana in the countryside of Rome. This is a real local trattoria type of place, quite cozy, certainly less touristy, a quiet and comfortable restaurant frequented by locals. If you want to experience real Italian homemade cooking, this is where you come. We were greeted and seated right away. Aglio Orio e Peperoncino not only sounds romantic, it has also very much welcoming ambience inside, with friendly and efficient service. Wall decor includes large photos of famous Italian cinema icons like Anna Magnani, Monica Vitti, Alberto Sordi, and Marcello Mastroianni. I've got a vague understanding of their menu and gathered that your dinner options here vary greatly depending on the alignment of many factors, owner's creativity included. Just like home, already! -:) If available, you have to order Ossobuco here. It's braised veal shanks mixed with veggies and sautéed in white wine (in Bianco) or with tomatoes and carrots (which turns out a completely different dish, in my humble opinion). We had white version and loved it. It's hearty and delicious! I've got no photos because of the connectivity issues and discharged phone battery, as I also use my phone for work and conference meetings, sorry - maybe next time.

Walked past this restaurant several times going back and forth to our VRBO, and after looking at…read morereviews decided tonight to stop in for dinner. FOOD: A good-sized collection of Italian standards and pizzas. Everything we ordered was quite tasty. For drinks, they had several beers, but wine seemed to be just carafes of house red or white. The house red was perfectly serviceable. SERVICE: The waiter handling the sidewalk tables was friendly, funny, engaging, and responsive to our requests. He would be hard to improve on. AMBIANCE: The restaurant looks clean and professionally managed. We sat at one of the sidewalk tables, which were nicely set but suffered from constant foot and vehicle traffic passing by, including at least two emergency vehicles, sirens blaring. Not to criticize emergency responders for running their sirens, but be aware of the possibilities when answering if you want an indoor or outdoor table. NET-NET: Good food, reasonably priced, great service, clean glassware -- I'd be happy to go back there again.

We came here after being enamored with Stanley Tucci's Finding Italy show. To be honest, I found…read morethis restaurant to look differently from the show, and in fact, I had doubled checked the show and name as we stepped in. Additionally, I found the service a bit lacking, or rather not very personable. It was a family style restaurant with cramped seating and the people there were like New York unfriendly. I tried to ask three young adults there for the restaurant address and they really just sort of ignored me, even as I asked for it in Italian. The hostess, instead, just quickly said she would call for a taxi, and then just proceeded to give me a receipt with the taxi company name and the taxi car I.D. I guess that was okay, but just off putting. Additionally, I was put off that as we sat down there wasn't any bread brought to the table, and when the salad was brought out, I had to ask for olive oil and vinegar? This is usually stable in and old Italian restaurant. This restaurant seemed to be a bit distant from the heart of Rome, and I sort of knew this from the show. My husband had the cacio e pepe and I had the carbonara. My husband said his cacio e pepe did have a cheesy flavor but was a bit mushy. My carbonara was decent, not as good as Tucci made me think it would be, and honestly I've made much better carbonara at home. In fact, for a great Italian family restaurant I would rather eat at the Bellas restaurant where we live. It's a family restaurant as the cook is from Italy, and I've had much better sauces there. Also, the service there is outstanding, the Italian men smell good and they make you feel good.
