Fantastico. Molto bene as good as it gets. Every dish prepared with love. Very fun streetside restaurant had to move some chairs to let the traffic thru. Has a wonderful experience. Get owner cares about all details very welcoming read more

This restaurant is wonderful and quite busy but the staff is friendly especially the kind owner and the food is delicious - I had the bread, olive oil, cheese and cacio e pepe and it was absolutely scrumptious - there is a queue but it's worth it read more

This place was very tasty and packed with locals and tourist alike. It was a bit heavy for my liking but it is so much better than the tourist traps around Rome. I ordered the pasta carbonara and the bacon was super crispy and thick. I believe it is pork cheek. Over all I would go back to Da Enzo but maybe order other plates. read more

Overall I like the experience. Nice location. Staff very friendly. P.S: The restaurant is very small.They do not take reservations. The line to wait is long. The house wine is horrible. read more

This place opens at 12:30pm. We got there at 12:20 and waited, by 12:30 there were 4 other parties there. By 12:50 the place was practically packed. We were recommended this place and thank god we were able to try it because everything was excellent! We are foodies who try everything and out of all the food we have tried in Rome this restaurant was the best by far. We came here for lunch and ended up coming back for dinner. They don't take reservations so we waited in an actual line outside of the restaurant. The line consisted of about 15 people but it went pretty fast. Definitely try the burrata and panzanella, they were beyond delicious! Neither of these two things are on their actual menu but we asked for it and it seems they make it every day so we were able to try it thank god! read more

I broke my rule for no repeats while traveling, and ate at Enzo twice during my last vacation to Rome. It's a tiny place. Expect to sit elbow to elbow with other tables, or cram in outside in the cold huddled under a blanket. Was it worth it? Yes, but only for some dishes! The appetizers and pastas were great, but the other items I tried were just average. If I came back again, I'd stick with pasta and no second courses. A breakdown: - [10/5] Carbonara with bacon. Absolutely incredible. The pasta is perfectly al dente, the carbonara sauce rich and flavorful, and each bite of crispy pork is a delight. I'd die fat and happy if I could eat it every day. Definitely try it. - [4/5] Ricotta Appetizer: A giant slab of fresh ricotta with honey and jam. Delicious! - [3/5] Deep Fried Artichoke Appetizer: I tried it since it was a recommendation for the area. It was a little bland. The heart was tender and delicious. Worth trying once, if you can spare the room. - [2/5] Lasagna: Eh. Ok, nothing mind-blowing. - [3/5] Chicken: in white wine sauce second course: Better than average, but not mind-blowing. The sauce was a little too sweet. - [2/5] Meatballs: Not my favorite. The meatballs and sauce were bland. - [4/5] Wild strawberries and soft cheese dessert: This was really impressive. The strawberries tasted so fresh. Appetizers are in the €5-10 range. Pastas are in the €10-15 range (or 45 for the special truffle pasta, if it's available). Second course is in the €15-30 range. The first time I came in was later during weekday lunch, and we had no problem cruising into a table straight away. We came back for dinner on a weekday, and the place was jam-packed. We waited an hour for a table for two. Service isn't spectacular, but they're doing the best they can for the tiny restaurant. Looking forward to coming back and eating more of the incredible carbonara, or trying the cacio e pepe. Yum! read more

This was recommended by a friend of a must go in Rome... and let me tell you, it's a MUST GO. we got there 7 mins after it opened for lunch and we got the last table in the restaurant. Super tucked away in a cute neighborhood, but those are always the best restaurants, right? The menu is very simple, which I like. The food was so fresh, make sure you order the carbonara which was recommended to us by the server. It has bits of crispy pork in it, which made the whole dish. Super authentic and would come here again in a heartbeat. Grazie! read more

In a city and country known for its amazing food, this restaurant is a standout. Worth the wait.

You really want to like it after waiting for 1-2 hours to sit down, and the burrata lives up to the hype but man does the pasta miss. The amitriciana is ok but the cacio e pepe was awful. Room temp, soggy noodles, with watered down sauce. There's only so much a glass of wine can do to save that dish. Pass on this place. read more

Da Enzo was the best meal we ate with the best prices for the high quality of food! Such friendly people and it was all just lovely and felt so authentic and delicious! We came back twice in the few days we had because it was so delicious! read more

We have been in Rome for 6 days and Enzo was one of our better dining experiences. To start, there is ALWAYS a line which is proof positive of how good the food is. We stopped by in the afternoon for lunch and there was a very long line. A waiter told us there are always lines and suggested we show up at 6:30 pm as they open for dinner at 7 pm. Sure enough, we showed up Monday evening at 6:30 and there were already 30+ people waiting in line! The wait was worth it as the food was fresh and delicious. We ordered the fresh sour dough bread, fried artichoke, a side of marinated spinach with garlic and olive oil, and main dishes of oxtail and a pasta dish that the waiter recommend. Everything was delicious and highly recommend. Total bill was 52 euros. read more

BEST MEAL... Reservations are a MUST. Make them ahead of time. Have your hotel call. The restaurant is in Trastevere, in a little alley right across the Ponte Palatino. Every thing is to DIE for. Try the Carciofi Alla Giudia and Cacio E Pepe. They will set the bar so high, you will find it hard to meet at other places. read more

One of the best meals I had in Rome! You can make a reservation (they will only take you at 7:30pm, when they open) or you can take your chances by just showing up. We got there around 7:45pm and waited only 15-20 mins. It helps if you're a couple because the place is very small. We shared a long table with 2 other couples, making it very cozy. All the waiters speak good English so no problems communicating and everyone is very friendly. Check the specials board and if you're in luck, they'll have burrata. The burrata was thick and creamy, perfectly spreadable on bread, and accompanied by a small side salad. We also ordered cacio e pepe and the grilled lamb. Both were excellent choices. The pasta was perfectly al dente and had fresh cracked pepper. The lamb had fresh lemon wedges so you could bring out the flavour of the meat more. Save room for dessert! Splurge on getting two: tiramisu and the marscapone. They're served in small cups and each good in their own way. The Tiramisu comes with nice big pieces of ladyfingers and even some Nutella. The marscapone is complemented by fresh wild berries which are so ripe and flavorful, it really makes the dessert special. All in all, I wish I had another night so we could have went back! read more

Finally, a good authentic, local Roman restaurant. It was really hard to find a place like this, since tourist traps are almost everywhere, even if you try to go off the beaten track. When you ever think about mom's homemade Italian food that is comforting and delicious, this is the place to go. And having been in Rome for a few days now, I was in dire need of true and good Italian food. We started off with the pan-fried artichoke, which was so delightful and exquisite. Who would have known that something so simple could be so delicious? It literally was an artichoke that was slow cooked and brushed with olive oil, fresh parsley and garlic. Honestly this was the best artichoke I've ever had. If anyone knows of any places that serve this in NYC, let me know! The carbonara pasta with pig cheek's lard was also delicious - and keep in mind that I don't like eggs or lard, but I loved this dish! And..the oxtail in tomato sauce was so yummy - let's just say that I was never a fan of oxtail until this day! It was so tender and flavorful. The oxtail with tomato sauce also had celery, pine nuts, raisins and cocoa! No wonder it was so good! Portions are big as well so it makes your stomach really happy! read more

Do yourself a favor and make a reservation. Came here on a Wednesday at 12:45pm, the restaurant was just open for 15mins and they were already full. Thankfully, the owner was sweet to bring out an extra table and two chairs for me and my friend. Around 1:15, there was a line going down the street to get in. It is a very small place which is why it is better to get plan ahead. Prices- extremely affordable, the apps around 4-5, the entrees and main courses between 6-11, so you can order plenty. The artichoke was not in season so I could not try it how I can speak for the meatball And and lasagna. They were both EXCELLENT. The portions perfect for one person, so if you are with a large party, order a variety to reap the benefits. The meatballs was tasty, perfectly cooked and soft to eat. The lasagna was yummy, the perfect amount of sauce, meat and cheese. It was creamy and unlike I've ever tasted. You can't go wrong- people around us were ordering different items and all were raving about their food. read more

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Da Enzo! It is a quaint little place that gets packed out quick, so be sure to book a reservation for one of the two nightly seating. And don't be late! The food was superb! Great taste, well cooked, fresh ingredients. The pasta carbonara I had was the best I've ever had, hands down. House wine is tasty too! Be sure get the tiramisu at the end of your meal and enjoy the little Nutella surprise in there! By far our best meal in Roma! read more

Reservation, resrvations, reservations. I can't stress the importance of getting a reservation for dinner. Luckily we had one, but there were 15 groups truned away at 730pm alone. I'm Italian and this is by far the best pasta I have ever had. We started with the fried artichoke heart and stuffed squash flower. For the first plate, I had the special fetuccine with clams and my mother ate the carbonara. Both were phenomenal. Finished off with tiramisu and espressi. Service is amazing. Eventhough the place is packed they always take the time and are attentive to the patrons. read more

Rome last month. Walked from our hotel (Ponte Sisto) for dinner. Must have reservations. Many were turned away. Unable to get a table outside, but would have been annoying to have waiting patrons hovering. We sat just to the inside of the door to the right which was perfect. Artichoke hearts and squash blossoms to start were fantastic. I had the Carbonara made with a small cut of the larger rigatoni, some of the best pasta ever. My own pales in comparison, and I'm Italian. My daughter had the special, fettuccini with mussels and clams, excellent as well. Tiramisu and espresso finished this amazing meal. The staff, the service was absolutely on point, friendly and attentive. I can't speak highly enough of our experience at this little gem of a restaurant in Trastevere. read more

Terribly long waits. Get there early and get in line. You can buy a bottle of wine from them to drink while in line. Make some friends. We went on a Friday and had at least a two hour wait. They move pretty quick, but the line was crazy long. The wine selection was very good. They have relationships with a couple wineries and give a little brochure about the wineries and the wines. I really liked it. The food was amazing. We had the fried artichokes at a number of restaurants in Rome. These were by far the best. The pasta was excellent. The meatballs were excellent. All the food was great, but damn that line was long. read more

We stubbled on this place when trying to another restaurant and it was wonderful. After we ate here when went on a tour to Pompeii and our guide recommended this place for their cabinera. Go early as there is a line to get in and we waited about an hour but they are very quick at getting your food out and it was delicious. We had two different pasta and had their tiremisu which was good. It's small but the perfect amount after the pasta. Definitely try this place. read more

I'll keep it simple for you. Do yourself a favor and visit this restaurant when in Rome. Call ahead and get a reservation if possible. My wife and I went at 10pm and there were probably 6 groups ahead of us. Trust me when I say, it is worth the wait. From the house red wine to the dessert everything was amazing. We ordered the deep fried artichoke, carbonara, and meatballs and everything just made us nod our heads up and down saying "man this is really good!" Don't forget to end the meal with the delightfully tasty wild strawberry and marscapone cream dessert. Our favorite meal in Italy so far! read more

Didn't even get to eat here because as we walked in we were accosted by a large tour group of American tourists on a tour of "authentic" Italian food. The restaurant was only open for these select people, and what's so authentic about that? read more

My husband and I decided to spend Christmas 2018 in Rome. Man was it amazing. We happened to walk by this place and noticed a crowd waiting to eat here, we decided that we would also try it the next day. Talk about amazing!!!! Great service, simple, amazing food. We ordered the Carbonara and the Gricia. Both were amazing. The wine selection there is also wonderful. Cute, charming, a must if you are in Rome. Just make sure you get there when they open or just you will just have to be patient and wait in line. But it's super worth it. read more

The pasta here is the best we had in Rome! And the meatballs were fantastic. We also had the best red house wine here. Make reservations or line up before the restaurant opens -- otherwise the line is long and you may not get a table. The best part of this place is the customer service. My husband and I lined up around 7:20 for a 7:30 opening. It was pouring down rain and many of the people in line didn't have umbrellas. One of the restaurant workers came out and handed out free ponchos to everyone who didn't have an umbrella! In addition, their seating was more limited than usual due to the uncovered patio getting rained on, so they sat a small family under a large outdoor umbrella near the entrance. However, one of guests had his back poking out from the umbrella and getting wet, so the waiter duck taped a handheld umbrella to a chair and placed it next to the guest so that he wouldn't get wet while eating! It was funny and also very considerate. Wait in line if you have to! You won't regret it. read more

By far the best meal I had while in Rome. The meatballs were some of the best I've ever had, and the amatriciana was flavourful. If you can though, MAKE A RESERVATION. I wasn't able to call or show up in person to make a reservation beforehand. I tried to come in an hour early though, but had to wait over two hours. If the owner tries to shoo you off saying there are no tables before opening, start a line anyways. The owner shoo'd me away, but immediately after I started to walk away instructed another group to start a line. Alot of reservations just didn't show up, so there were instantly a few tables. As a result of him telling me to leave/not start a line though, I had to wait an extra hour. read more

I still dream about their burrata... make Da Enzo a stop if you're in Roma! In the lovely Trastevere neighborhood, this quaint restaurant is what dreams are made of. The burrata was INSANE. PERFETTO!! All pastas that we tried were great, specifically the Carbonara and the Cacio e Pepe. Owners are very kind as well. ARRIVE EARLY if you want a table. And be prepared to sit close to others, they really try to pack people in to seat everyone. Much love! read more

Our favorite restaurant in Italy with all things considered. The burrata, carbonara, and caco e pepe is seriously amazing. Don't worry if you don't have a reservation. Get there 45 minutes early and you'll pretty much be guaranteed a seat upon opening. The line that builds up is completely evident on just how great this restaurant is. Be careful because when you get home you'll be going through withdrawals wishing you could be back at Da Enzo al 29! read more

A part of me doesn't even want to give this restaurant a review because I want to keep it all to myself. I want it to stay hidden. This was by far the best meal I had in Rome, and through out my two weeks in Rome, Florence, Madrid, Dublin, and Galway. The atmosphere was amazing (nay, that is an understatement). The wait was enjoyable. Wait no, that's an understatement again. The wait was like no other because while waiting, even though we were outside in the cold, the owner and his servers came out to serve us wine and an assortment of pastas. Where else have you gotten served while waiting, let alone by the owner of the restaurant. The restaurant itself is situated in what looks like the kitchen and living room of the family turned into a quint little restaurant. Some of the tables are shared, and if they weren't they were only separated by an inch. This adds to the whole Italian restaurant experience. I wouldn't change a thing. Their house wine was not only cheap, but also delicious. I suggest getting two. No, three. My personal favorite, nay that's an understatement. The dish that I continue to dream about is their Carbonara. Their sauce was like no other. They don't use bacon either, and for me that's usually a deal-breaker, BUT NO. Their pork cheek substitute was perfectly seasoned and amazingly compliments the cracked pepper and parmesan that tops the dish. Pro-Tip: They take reservations for their first seating at 7:30. Take this how you may, whether to make a reservation or come here and bear the wait after the first seating because you couldn't get in anywhere else (I am in no way insinuating this should be your last choice, contrary). read more

Lovely casual family owned place where the line for walk-ins can stretch 20-30 people at a time so best make a reservation! Loved the burrata and the Roman artichoke. A seafood pasta was very good too. The house wine is a steal. It's very crowded and the bathroom is appalling so be forewarned- lots of dripping water and not at all clean- but the people are kind. read more

Authentic and quaint restaurant off the beaten path from tourist Rome, I definitely recommthis spot in Trastevere. Da Enzo was absolutely delicious from the wine, to bread, to pastas, to dessert. However, because the restaurant is so good, and small, be prepared to wait for a table...but it is well worth the wait! read more

This place was really close to our place we were staying at so we came to check it out. We thought 7:55pm was close enough to the 7:30pm time our friends said should be the latest we go, but we were wrong. Not only was the place full with lots of people standing and waiting outside this small restaurant, the guy also told us there's no room later that night so we made a reservation and came back the next day at 7:15, when they opened. The food was very affordable and very good. They give large portions so I was super full after 2 of us split: artichoke alla Romana, grilled veggie plate marinated in fresh garlic, hot red peppers, olive oil, and sweet balsamic vinegar. We had the carbonara which was very tasty with crispy pork cheek meat. The spinach and ricotta ravioli served with a tomato sauce. The 3 meatballs were big, juicy, and yummy. The house red wine was simple yet good. And we split a mascarpone berry dessert which we should have just ordered 2 since we ate it in 2 minutes flat. It had these tiny berries in it that were really sweet. All this for 50 euros. Not bad at all. Go early and enjoy! read more

Be prepared to wait -- but just WAIT!! That many people can't all be wrong. We stood in line for over an hour to get a table on a Tuesday night, and it was worth every minute! We started with the sourdough and olive oil, then had carbonara and amatriciana for our pasta dishes. Both were delicious. Our meat course was polpette al sugo (meatballs) which were very good, but the pasta was the highlight! Finally, we split a chocolate gelato, which was out of this world. Absolutely a fantastic evening in Rome. We'd definitely come back again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a great meal! read more

Note: the bathroom is horrible - watch out for that. read more

The food is exceptionally good. And the menu looked good. But we hesitated asking for details about the menu items as the waiter was not happy with us as we went between their lunch and dinner hours. Even though we told him that we were sorry and played nice and tried to make small talk in broken Italian, he took out order without much talk. That kinda ruined it for us. We were tired an hungry, so we got out of there as soon as we could. But....the food is very good. read more

Yum! We came here for lunch on a weekday at the recommendation of our friend's mom (a local) and it was perhaps our favorite meal in Rome. One tip-- the word seems to be out... there was a line before opening. We made it into the first seating, but the line grew behind us and there were still people waiting when we left, even after staff pulled out extra folding tables and chairs to accommodate more people. Although there were translated menus and English-speaking staff, the food and ambiance felt as authentically chaotic and hospitable as the restaurants we visited earlier in our trip that had neither. Lunch service here is a well-oiled, yet still charming, machine. Seems like a seasonal menu so some items change regularly. We ordered an amazing antipasti, whose name I've already forgotten, the Trippa Alla Romana (aka tripe-- which our waiter made sure to confirm we knew before completing the order), an oxtail rigatoni dish and a delectable mascarpone panna cotta dessert. Portions, flavors, and textures were spot-on. I'm not usually a tripe fan but the texture and sauce made it taste just like a pasta dish. The only downside was the restaurant seems to host mostly tourists and the place is so small, you have to get up regularly to let the person next to or behind you get by. Larger people may be more comfortable eating outside, but it may take longer to get seated. On the bright side, we had a nice conversation with the people we were bumping elbows with. read more

This was my favorite place we ate in Rome. It's homey, small and very popular, so be prepared to wait outside for a while. (They don't take reservations.) But the food is perfection, and the wine list is wonderfully personal. The carbonara is delicious, with crispy, succulent little slabs of ham atop the richly coated rigatoni. The sautéed chicory (cicoria di campo) was an ideal side dish. And don't miss the carciofo alla giudia (deep-fried artichoke "Jewish style"), simply the best version of this dish I've ever had. read more

Wonderful experience in Trastavere and so pleased they accommodated us about 10 minueted before afternoon closing time.

This place was the best pasta i've ever had in my life. It was so authentic and worth the wait. We came 30 minutes before opening and it was a huge crowd, luckily we got in because of the small party size. It was super hard to find a great pasta place in Rome and we found it. I would recommend this to anyone who loves food, just remember real food takes real time. The house wine was amazing too read more
