This is what all your Italian eats dreams are made of and then some. We had some difficulty finding the restaurant but thanks to the line of people waiting to dine, it made it pretty clear we arrived. So try to arrive earlier than anticipated as the line gets long and fast! With it being just the hubby and I we luckily waited maybe 15 minutes and were seated outside by one of their heat lamps on a chilly brisk February night. I was taken aback when our server greeted us with a blanket to help keep me warm which was very thoughtful. We started with a bottle of wine because Italy. The wine menu is extensive and comes with a nice description of each varietal while offering pairings if you're unsure. From there we dove into the fried artichoke which was *chefs kiss*. The meatballs were some of the most tender and flavorful meatballs I've had to date (sorry Mom). Lastly we thouroughly enjoyed every last bite of the Gricia. The chunks of cured pork cheek took every fork full to the next level. It was the perfect addition of salt and crunch. Come here! Make a reservation if able. Even if unable to make a reservation, make it a point to dine at Enzo's. I know I will forever remember this night. read more

Ohhhh, Da Enzo! What did you do to me? You may have ruined all pasta for me forever. Before making reservations, I checked the menu and didn't see anything vegan, but the Yelp reviews mention that they are very accommodating for dietary issues, so I took the chance. We dined on a Sunday night, arriving a little past opening time (7:45 or so). Sundays are a good day to take a chance without a reservation if you go early enough, as by the time we left at 9, there were still only a few tables of people dining. I appreciated the lovely atmosphere that makes you feel like you're having a special occasion and absolutely divine service. We had a waiter that couldn't be more accommodating. He went over a variety of vegan options with me and I settled on bruschetta (phenomenal) and an artichoke pasta (they can also do a risotto if you're not in the mood for pasta). The artichoke pasta is simply incredible. Creamy artichoke that seemed to be pounded into a paste with olive oil coated the most perfectly al dente rigatoni that I've ever had. The best part, though, was of course the crispy Jewish-style fried artichoke hearts that grace the top of it. My favorite surprise ingredient: mint! I need to attempt to make this at home, but it'll only be an attempt, I'm afraid. I will forever dream of this dish and vow to return to Rome sooner rather than later so that I may have it again. The waiter suggested the perfect wine, too, Cesanese Rubillo (I loved it so much, I had to take a photo so that I might buy it at home if possible). As we paid the check, the nicest lady (possibly the maitre d or owner) gave us a complimentary limoncello, as is sometimes the custom (in NOLA, we'd call that the l'agniappe). This is the signature of pristine hospitality as far as I'm concerned. Da Enzo might have been my best dining experience in my entire two weeks that I was in Italy read more

We were here over a month ago. The food and atmosphere was great. The only problem was we has a horrible waitress who had a rude attitude. She seemed like she hated us for some reason. We did absolutely nothing wrong. So we just asked for something simple and left her alone. I gave this place 2 stars instead of one because the food was awesome. read more

I heard about this place prior to arriving in Rome and I knew I had to visit. We got there on a Friday night around 7:30 and had to wait for a table for around an hour and half. They were nice enough to sell us drinks while we waited on line so it made the time go by fast. Once we got our table we were ready to eat. We got the burrata salad, carbonara and seafood pasta. All of the food was excellent but until this day my husband and I can't stop talking about the burrata salad and carbonara. We ate all around Italy and I have to say this was my favorite meal of our whole trip. I can't wait to come back to Rome to eat here, what a gem read more

Got there 15 minutes early and there were nine people in line. The line grew quickly in those 15 minutes too. The service is brusque but friendly. Totally understandable given the number of diners. It's not a huge place but they do a very good job of maximizing seating. Very casual. Everything I ate was definitely good but nothing made me want to come back. And there is no way I would wait for a seat given how many other nearby restaurants there are. Glad I went. No regrets. Happy with my meal. But nothing spectacular. read more

Absolutely worth the hype! We went during lunchtime on a Thursday, got there at 11:40 am, 20 minutes before opening, and got a table right when they opened; by then, there was already a line, and all the tables got busy. We ordered the ricotta with honey to start, two different kinds of pasta, a day special (gnocchi with ragu sauce), and a side of eggplant and peppers. The ricotta was so good and light, perfect with the honey and homemade bread. The pasta was absolutely delicious; they cooked it perfectly! I had a Gricia, and my partner had their cacio e pepe. The gnocchi special was delicious as well. The eggplants were an excellent addition; they were super fresh and different from anything I've had before. We got some aperols and wine, and ofc, we couldn't leave without trying their tiramisu, probably the best one i had in Rome! If when you come thwre is a line, they sell aperols while you wait, and it tipically moves really fast. I visited in November; I am sure getting in in the summer is harder, so plan accordingly! Prices are mid-high compared to other Roman restaurants, but totally worth it, in my opinion; I am so glad we went, and I would definitely go back! read more

We went to Da Enzo for lunch. It's located in a hidden alley. We arrived when it opened. And it had a big line. We understand why. They added tables outside to help with the crowd. I had Cacio e Pepe. It was very good. We split a carafe of red wine. Fun place. read more

I'd give it 4.5 stars if I could. They don't take reservations and they've been getting major social media traction as a "go-to" place to get "authentic" Roman pastas. This social media attention has turned them into a major tourist trap with a 1 hour line to get a table,which we knew about so that's not factored into this review at all; but be prepared to wait. And is it worth the wait? Definitely not. The food is good, just not incredible. Amatriciana: touted by one YouTuber as the best in Rome. It was delicious, but we had better Amatriciana on our first night in town at another restaurant. Definitely good but not great. Carbonara: just ok. The sauce was good but our portion had only 3 chunks of guanciale. I know this because we were a group of three people and dividing this dish we each got exactly one small piece. Oxtail: the braised oxtail was the star of the show. The braising liquid was delicious and flavorful and the meat was dark, tender, and well seasoned. Fried artichoke: delicious! But this is pretty much delicious everywhere. Burrata appetizer: expensive but worth it. I pretty much order this any time it's on a menu and have never regretted it. TLDR: don't feel bad if you skip this on your visit. You didn't miss anything incredible and saved yourself the waiting in line. read more

INCREDIBLE pasta. We got in the queue about 15 min before opening and got a table before 7:30pm, which was faster than I was expecting. Everyone in our party was blown away. My only note is that they almost wouldn't seat us due to a miscommunication about having a baby in our party in addition to the 6 adults but the accommodated us and I am so glad we were able to stay. read more

We had a delightful lunch at Da Enzo al 29 in Rome, Italy. We were seated outside next to a lovely lady and her granddaughter from Brazil. We feasted on fried artichokes and zucchini flowers and they served the most wonderful breads. I had the Cacio e Pepe and my wife had the Rigatoni Carbonara with guanciale. Beautiful staff and excellent food! Get there early and be prepared to wait in line as it is the best-known (kept) secret! read more

Da Enzo al 29 - Cacio e Pepe. - Roman Near Me - Rome, RM

It is hard for me to know if I'm visiting a local or a touristy place in Rome. We stumbled on this place when we were in the food area, and saw it - and it looked good. We asked about a table and pointed to a line. That night we were not in the mood, but the next day we came back. My family and I waited in line, we got there maybe an hour after opening. The line actually took us about one hour between our family of four was seated (two adults, two kids) The meal was an amazing Rome collection of food - a pepper cream pasta (amazing), bread that was crusty perfect, pasta with boar (yum), a burrata appetizer with cherries. . . The place is a bit loud - and open into the street. Most of the seats are actually outside (on the alley) and so perfectly Italian and cute. We sat inside, and had no issues - great service, great food, and truthly it cost less than if we all went to in-n-out burger. . . read more

The long wait was worth it. The food was amazing, every last bite. If I make my way to Rome again, I will definitely make a stop here again. The meatballs were to die for and also the carbonara. read more

Da Enzo was the first stop on our food tour. We were served the wine, fried artichoke, burrata, and bread with olive oil. It was so good we came back the next night for dinner, Monday June 5, 2023. We knew the line would be long and we were not disappointed. We arrived at 7:30 and the line was 50 yards long, almost to Vicolo Dell'Atleta. After a 2 1/2 hour wait we were seated at 10:00. Dinner took a little over 1 hour. Last person in line was seated at 10:44. Oh yeah there is a gentleman who will serve you a limited selection of drinks while in line. Attached is our receipt. I recommend everything on this receipt. It was an absolutely fabulous meal. Fried artichoke is a must. I always love bread and olive oil but this was exceptional. The craft of wine was perfect for 2. The carbonara, the most popular per waiter, was divine. The abbocchio forno was a special (lamb and potatoes) was perfectly unique. May not be for everybody but something special with a rich unique flavor. We could not finish so I cannot comment on dessert. In retrospect we should have listened to our food tour guide and gotten there at 5:30. read more

Da Enzo al 29 - Receipt for a fabulous meal. - Roman Near Me - Rome, RM

Da Enzo has gotten famous on the internet from many YouTube and Instagram videos. I arrived 1/2 hour before the opening for dinner on a Friday which I'm told is a very busy day. At this time the line was very long and down the alley. It seemed that we'd probably be in the 3rd seating and a 2 hour wait but when it opened the line shortened up quite a bit and we were seated in the second seating an hour later. So to be in the first seating I'd suggest being at least 45 minutes early, probably an hour if u want to be sure. After being sat we decided on the fried artichokes and squash blossoms. Both were good but not as special as videos have made them out to be. The cacio e Pepe was made with tonnarelli pasta which I find to be more Al dente than I'm used to but having them more than once in Rome, that's how it was supposed to be, but I'd prefer it a slightly softer. The flavor was good the freshly ground pepper really came thru but with just pecorino cheese and freshly ground pepper it was a bit to mild for me, I suggest one of the tomato based or something with guanciale for more of a bolder profile. Though it was the best example of it that I found. The carbonara on the other hand was wonderful, best I've ever had! The rigatoni pasta was perfectly cooked the guanciale really came thru and even infused into the noodles and more refined than the heavier versions I found around Rome. Highly recommend it. Got the oxtail in tomato sauce for the Main course. The flavor was good but it wasn't as soft as I imagine. I usually make mine fork tender and falling off the bone. This was still a bit stiff and had to be pried off the bone. I had to use my hands to pick it up and bite it off the bone. Much too firm for me. Dessert was awesome! Enzo's tiramisu was the best tiramisu I've had. I don't usually find tiramisu very special but this one was different and very crave-able. He uses some kind of cracker instead of lady fingers which usually soaks up a lot of moisture and leaves a wet spongy feel in your mouth. The mascarpone and wild strawberries were also very good but I'd choose the tiramisu if deciding between the 2. Da Enzo had the best examples of Cacio e Pepe, carbonara and tiramisu. Tips you'll want to get there at least 1 hour to 45 minutes before opening to get in the first dinner seating. We were back 2 doors and 3 windows in the alley and got in the second seating which was an hour long wait after the first seating. read more

Imagine your last day in Rome, with time dwindling until dinner and a laundry list of restaurants you haven't tried in one of the places to get the most incredible food on earth. You don't have to imagine much longer because that was me. Walking around Rome is no chore, and stumbling across Da Enzo is Certainly no accident. I'll start by saying the line is long and getting there early is essential if you don't want to wait. From what I saw, there's no way to reserve a table, so waiting 10-50 mins is expected, if not the average. Many of you may think it's not worth the wait, and I almost didn't either; however, convinced by a family in front of me to wait it out for genuinely delicious food, I did. The food was the best in Italy, so if that's what you're looking for and need to read, you can end the review here. My girlfriend and I ordered meatballs, lamb chops, and Carbonara. I'll start with the meatballs since I directly ordered them. Whatever tomato sauce's secret formula, they have enhanced the meatballs' organic but soft taste to a 5/5. It was the right temperature, texture, and taste to turn any picky eater's taste buds into flavor town. The lamb chops were what my girlfriend ordered, and although I only had a tiny taste, these lamb chops tasted as if they were cooked by my mom herself. Very tasty, flavorful, and a must-try. Last but not least is the Carbonara. When I say this is, the best pasta I have ever had in my life is not an understatement or exaggeration. The pasta was soft, and the sauce was plentiful and took my taste buds on a journey. This restaurant should be proud of what they created here and know they are easily the best restaurant in Rome, if not Italy. read more

This place is a must for places to eat in Rome. The food is incredible! They do not accept reservations but the line waiting is half the experience. You enjoy some wine or aperol spritz's while you wait. It's on a super cute street in Trastevere. So worth it! We cancelled dessert and ordered another carbonara it was that good. read more

My favorite restaurant in Rome. There's usually a line outside but my party of four got lucky and had to wait only 10 mins as there were only two parties ahead of us. We tried the cacio e peppe, meatballs, amatriciana, and tiramisu. Everything was amazing. My highlight is probably amatriciana and the meatballs. Both were so flavorful and heaven in your mouth. The pasta texture was on point. Despite the restaurant being so full and hectic, the service was still great. The servers were friendly. read more

It was good - flavors were yummy but not quite what we were expecting. Little disappointed

This experience was unfortunately my biggest let down in Rome. I read the reviews and heard about the long line. I was excited for this dining experience so I scheduled this to be my last dinner in Italy. I showed up 20mins before opening and immediately got in line. One nice thing is you can order drinks while you serve your time. I ordered a Limoncello which was great. I do recommend giving exact change. I had to ask my server once seated for my change which I had been promised in line by a different staff member. I'd say I waited about an hr but with me anticipating a wait I was still excited to try this so called incredible pasta!! So I ordered red wine(they never brought my wine glass so I had to use a water cup), La palla Al 29(fried potatoes,cod,cheese) and the special(fettuccine Ragu) and cheesecake. One nice thing was that the prices are reasonable because I would have been really pissed if otherwise. The food was mediocre at best. Everything tasted bland sadly. I had to ask for any type of seasoning so they brought me fresh peppers to help with taste. I LOVE Italian food and I thankfully enjoyed some incredible pasta dishes at restaurants nearby and in Capri, Almafi coast and even Naples. I'm so lost on the grounds of the hype for this place?? One thing that was strange to me is that a staff member came up to only me and asked if I was willing to share my table. But I was the only single diner asked to share inside the dinning room at least. I recommended she asked another single diner right across from me and I got the strangest look and brush off reaction. The staff was fake nice except for one gentlemen appearing to be of Indian descent. He was kind, polite and helpful. I hope he didn't have to split the tip because he deserved it all! I closed out with the same lady that asked me to share my table. She threw my receipt on the table and just walked away. No thank you for coming no have a good night, NOTHING. That really rubbed me the wrong way, not sure where the rudeness was coming from. But please dine elsewhere there are many fantastic restaurants in Rome where you don't have to wait over an hr and be susceptible to second rate food or service. read more

I ended up having to wait 2 hours to eat but it was well worth it. The buratta special was excellent and the cacio e pepe was also good! I got there half an hour before dinner service was set to start and was not sat in the first rush of people. My advice would be, on a Friday or Saturday, get there 45 minutes to a hour before opening to be seated in that first go. That will minimize your overall wait. I'm not sure what waits would be like outside of the busy weekend but probably also waiting, too. read more

Hands down the best food we had in Italy. Definitely have to time it right since they don't except reservations and if you don't sit during the first wave of guests, you'll be waiting for at least an hour. Either get there and line up before they open or get there later after most people have eaten dinner. Carbonara and the lamb were our favorites but really everything was delicious. Don't miss this spot if you're in Italy! read more

This placed is HYPED up and wanted to test out to see if it's worth the wait. Decided to show up an hour early @ 6 pm and start waiting in line. There was about 4-5 people already standing there. This place opens for lunch, then closes for a couple hours then reopens for dinner. They do stay open for non public purposes for food group tours during the time that there are "closed". Get here early or the lines get way too long. We got into the first seating. Service was decent wished they moved with more urgency so that more tables could get seated quicker. The pasta had good flavor... there was acouple pieces that I felt were a bit hard and undercooked. Had higher hopes for this place. Was it good ?? Yes.. but if there was long lines and a wait I probably wouldn't return. This place is mainly for tourists and popular bc of TikTok. They do serve drinks in line. There are plenty of other pasta places. To try. *side note* they put a water without even asking or saying there's a charger on your table (this is basically tap water) but automatically charge you 2 EUR on the bill for water. read more

Waited an hour to be seated we got on the line at 6:50 and sat down around 7:45. Was it worth the wait? I would say so. The Burrata was really fresh and creamy, the tomatoes were firm and sweet. The fried artichoke was similar in taste to a potato chip which was different. The meatballs were good, the potatoes were thick cut, and the oxtail pasta was very flavorful! The tiramisu was really good as well. All and all very flavorful place compared to other Italian restaurants ..I say def go and check it out.. read more

This place was top rated on so many sites, and it did not disappoint. One thing you do need to know is that you need to be prepared to wait on line. We arrived at 8pm and got seated around 9pm. Once seated in the dizziness of this chaoticly awesome atmosphere you will be greeted by servers who are knowledgeable and quick. We started with wine and a spritz to start. Kids (16 and 12) had soda. We sat outside where most of the seating is, and the vibe was fantastic. For apps we started with a veggie platter of Zucchini and Artichoke . It was covered in fresh mozz, oil and I believe lemon. We also had the eggplant parm. Both were to die for. For mains my daughter (12) had the meatballs and they were the lightest meatballs I have ever tasted. Wow! My wife and older daughter had the fettuccine with Raghu and I had the Bolognese with penne . All dishes were amazing and we finished with really good tiramisu. All in all great meal! You will feel a bit rushed as they try to turn over tables fast, But who cares!! Go! Here! Now! read more

Around 6:45pm, my brother really wanted to check out this place for dinner. He warned me that there may be a long line, and we walked 30m to the restaurant because the traffic made uber/taxi impossible during the Roman rush hour. And yes the line was long, at least 20 parties ahead of us. Id say 1.5-2hr wait. They open around 7pm, but apparently you need to get in line at least around 6 to make it a realistic wait time. They only have a small alley space with maybe 10-15 tables at most, so the line was barely moving. They did offer to sell drinks/beer in cash only for people waiting in line. 45 min later after drinking a beer my legs were giving out so I decided to togo/take out some pasta instead. Luckly there was not much wait for takeout food. But the cheese and olive oil did not taste good when cold. I guess I cannot rate the restaurant entirely since everyone else was waiting for something in that place. But we were just tourists that did not preplan for this restaurant. Is any food worth waiting in line for actually 2 hours? I think some other restaurants in Italy would have been just as good, with less wait. read more

Enzo, will you have my babies?! Kidding aside, the food at Da Enzo is a perfect introduction to Roman cuisine. There's no wonder magazine after magazine has reviewed this spot. Carciofi alla giudia is mind blowing, coda alla vaccinara very tasty. The cacio e pepe is a must try. Tiramisu and espresso for dessert, perfecto! Excellent service. There was a line at around 1:45pm but it was short, we got a table within 10 minutes and ate until close at 3pm. Would eat here again if I drop into Rome. read more

After hearing about the famous da enzo, i had to try it for myself. Shoeed up about 15 mins before opening and made the first seating. Overall, all the pasta was done pretty well. A little less al dente than id like but still great. We also had the burrata which was actually better than their pasta that day. All in all, worth a visit if you re in the area. Also try armando al pantheon as well which i also enjoyed. read more

Da Enzo al 29 was one of my favorite sports in Trastevere. The service, ambiance and food was all amazing and really made eating here a fun experience. My group of six arrived to the restaurant late on Saturday night and they told us that it was going to be a bit of a wait. They treated us with drinks as we waited in line and they ended up seating us in a great spot much quicker than anticipated. I ordered the Pasta alla Gricia and it was a bit al dente but that is common in Italy; very good, just not what I would make for myself. The flavor was incredible and is what kept me coming back two more times during my time in Rome. read more

We arrived shortly before opening and there was a very long line already. We waited about an hour before being seated. There were two of us. We sat inside in the corner by the bathroom. It's very cozy inside! It's interesting that with their popularity, they didn't expand the size of the restaurant, even though they do have outside seating with different parties sharing tables. My favorite part of the meal was the meatballs. Don't forget those. The bread and oil are a good way to start the meal but don't fill up because there's plenty of good food to come. The pasta was excellent and we were very happy with the side of vegetables. Overall, the food was very good and worth the wait, service was remarkably friend, but I wouldn't rave about it like the rest of the internet. read more

Stopped here for a small bite as part of a food tour and the burrata was fantastic. I dream about it. They had good bread with the oil and it helped me tackle the loads of burrata we got.

My husband and I went in 2019 and knew we had to go back. The artichoke and burrata are a MUST!!! It is so good that we came back twice this trip!!!! Be prepared to wait in line. At the end of March 2023, you had to be there about 40 minutes or earlier to get in the first group of seats. After that it will be another hour to hour and half. But it is SO worth the wait. I went with my family (3 hungry teenagers) and they claim Da Enzo al 29 is one of the top places in Italy. We went twice. We all loved the Gricia, Cacio e Pepe, Matriciana O amatriciana, lamb and tiramasu. I ordered the special which was a vegetarian lasagna and it was amazing!! The service was top notch, Antonio and Sharif took care of us both nights! Can't wait to come back.....one day. read more

First, I consider myself to be a pretty fair reviewer of restaurants and am always mindful of the characterization of my yelp reviews. Second, I simply just don't understand the many reviews across several different sites which tout this Roman establishment as one of the best trattorias in the city. Our hotel concierge, at our request, reserved a table for us at 7:30. This is apparently the only time the restaurant takes bookings. After that, patrons must wait on a long line outside to nab a table. Cramped is an understatement when describing the feeling as we sat at our table which essentially was a six top along the back wall. Two couples who were super pleasant but not part of our reservation were seated on either side of us so it was as if we shared our dinner with four strangers! And they were all Americans like us. Touristy and underwhelming are the best descriptors. The food is truly mediocre. The best item we had was the fried artichoke. The rigatoni alla matriciana had a decent sauce but the pork was so fatty it was almost inedible. Not crispy like I expected. The cacio e Pepe (a true Roman classic which was wonderful at two other places we dined at in Rome) was clunky and undefined. It tasted like macaroni and cheese out of a box. The sautéed greens were tasty and well prepared. The house wine by the carafe sounds appealing but was really not worth drinking. The servers are attentive but clearly just rushing through the service to turn the table. I cannot stress enough that if you're looking for an authentic trattoria in the city, this is not your place. So many options.... don't waste your time, money or taste buds. So disappointing. read more

The absolute best meal we had in all of Italy, and we did quite a bit of traveling from north to south! The kind of meal you dream about long after you're home, and can't wait until you can have it again. We ordered- a bottle of Prosecco (why not!), the croquette appetizer, the fried artichokes, Caccio e Pepe, Carbonara, and tiramisu for dessert. When the caccio e pepe came out, we both tried it and agreed it was the best thing we had so far in Italy...then the carbonara came out and we agreed THAT was the best bite we had in all of Italy. We had Carbonara in Florence, Montecassino, Pisa...and none came close to this one. GET THE CARBONARA. We also really loved the artichokes, interesting texture and a must try in Rome. The line gets long- fast! We showed up 15 mins early and we were lucky enough to get in with the first group, but the line had already formed. Get here early! Wander around the beautifully charming Trastevere neighborhood first and then show up at least 15 early. read more

The line for this place is crazy - if you want to get a seat, should line up right around when they open at 7, otherwise you'll probly be waiting an hour. This is definitely a delicious spot with really good prices, esp for the amount of food you get. Def try the amatriciana and cacio e pepe The fried artichokes are really unique, with very crispy flakes. The highlight was def the cacio e pepe, with really fresh pepper and perfectly al dente homemade pasta. The amatriciana rigatoni was delightful, with the tomato sauce bursting into your mouth through the tube pasta. The meatballs was very tender and just falls apart into your mouth. The grilled veggies is drenched in pretty heavy olive oil, as typical for Italian food. Their take on tiramisu is more thick and chocolatey than other ones, so not my fave but still good. Overall highly recommend if you're able to get a seat! read more
