Da Olimpio is a little trattoria located down one of the narrow alleyways between Piazza di Barberini and Fontana di Trevi. Our AirBnB was not far from here on a recent stay in Rome, and we passed it a few times on our way to other places. Looking in the window every night it appeared to be just my kind of place. Mostly locals, energetic, lots of plates clanging, people laughing. I finally convinced my family to give it a try and it was one of the dining highlights of our trip. On the night of our visit we showed up on the earlier side of dinner service to make sure we could get a table. We were greeted and seated right away. Our waiter was fantastic. He went out of his way to make recommendations. The mushrooms were picked today, get a mushroom pizza to share. Get some pasta dishes and some fish to share. My Mrs. asked if they had proscuitto. Yes, and it was very good. He asked if we had tried burrata cheese yet. No. Okay, you have to try it, it's like mozzarella but way creamier. He also recommended a red wine and brought bread and water. The proscuitto and burrata came first. If you have not tried burrata cheese before please find some and try it. I dream about the stuff now. I want to seek more out, and I will some day, but for now that place in time where I first had it lives in my mind. The proscuitto was not as oily or salty as the other places we had it. It was more rustic and we all appreciated how unique it was. 5/5 Grilled Sole: I only had a couple bites of this, but it was moist, tender and had a nice lemony kind of taste. 4/5 Fettuccine with Porchini Mushrooms: this was another dish which incorporated the fresh mushrooms. We all loved this and it paired really well with the pizza. 5/5 Tortollini alla Bolognese: the red sauce had a wonderful depth of flavor. 4/5 Pizza with Mushrooms: the pizzas at Da Olimpio are very rustic. The crust was crip on the bottom but had a nice chew to it at the same time. There was a prefect balance between the tomato sauce (just crushed marzano tomato), cheese and mushrooms. This was one of my favorite pizzas ever, and get this-- it was 6 Euros. We all left raving about the meal. I really hope I get back here again. If I lived in Rome I would come here every week. read more

We had decided to give this place a try as it was next-door to our hotel. reviews were overrated and overstated!! Bland pasta not fresh and was over sauced with a red sauce that looked and tasted like jarred! This was supposed to be a Bolognese and although it had tiny specs of meat, it was not close in any comparison to any of the other places we had Bolognese... very very disappointing. No ambience whatsoever!!. The food was not bad, but I feel like with so many other wonderful restaurants in the area, that this, for us, was a wasted meal... . read more

This is a cheap ($) restaurant with a solid menu, excellent food, and nice portions. Most dishes were hovering around $10 and a glass of wine was $3.50. They fit us in on a weekend night without a reservation. The atmosphere is okay--the harsh fluorescent lighting takes a lot away from it. read more

Olympio opened in 1962, and we've been eating there during 6 trips to Rome since 1984. Wonderful Spaghetti alla Puttanesca, Tortellini in a Cream Sauce, all veal dishes, Tiramisu. Last ate there the week before Easter 2025. Out of our 5 dinners this trip, we had 3 at Olympio. Via degli Avignonesi 37/38 is the address. It is a tiny narrow street near Piazza Barberini - a little hard to find but worth looking for it! We absolutely love this place! read more

The food and the service were absolutely amazing in this restaurant. They speak perfect English and Spanish. I truly recommend this restaurant. My family and I had lunch and we loved it, so we went back for dinner. read more

Da Olimpio - Fried calamari - Italian Near Me - Rome, RM

Da Olimpio may not look like much from the outside or get as many visitors as some of the other restaurants in Rome on major drags, but it is a great little locally owned restaurant. We've eaten here three times over our two visits to Rome in the past couple of years, and we will more than likely visit again on our next trip to Rome. We've tried cacio e pepe, gnocchi bolognese, meats and cheeses, and tiramisu. Everything we've had here has been a great, no-fuss version of what you will find most places in Rome. You can tell that the pasta and sauces are made fresh to order each day, which is something you won't find at a lot of tourist traps. Also, the tiramisu is a must-try - it is so creamy and delicious here. Do yourself a favor and get off the beaten path to try Da Olimpio. read more

A simple place that serves great dishes. Out party of six was finishing up a 2 week tour of Italy. This place met all our needs - great food, good house wine, excellent service and very reasonable prices. If you are near Trevi fountain stop by a give it a shot. read more

Great last meal in Rome at a family run restaurant. Reasonable prices too-- appetizer, pasta dish, and cover charge (1.50) for under 20 Euro. To start, I had the antipasto which came with focaccia and grilled/stuffed vegetables. Bread was nothing special but the vegetables were seasoned well. I ordered the Spaghetti Arrabbiata which was delicious but I could tell the pasta wasn't homemade/fresh. Many of the staff spoke good English and accommodated the American family next to me who had a child ordering buttered pasta and French fries. read more

Food was amazing and the dessert Mille Fagole was even better. My husband had the eggplant Parmesan and I had the Paparadelle with peas ham and mushroom. Both dishes were amazing. The service was not great. There is an older grumpy gentleman who you can't get to smile. He's not very welcoming and when we asked for oil/Vinegar for our bread, he seemed annoyed. The table next to us didn't eat their bread because it was cold & stale (so was ours) and they didn't have oil/Vinegar. In the end, they got charged for the bread which they were not happy about. Another third table chimed in and told them not to eat the bread if offered and sometimes they will take it off the bill, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. I'm tired of these restaurants serving cold stale bread and automatically charging patrons as a mandatory "sitting fee". The bathrooms are smelly and not clean. Service could be friendlier. Otherwise the food was delicious. read more

Da Olimpio - Italian Near Me - Rome, RM

Olimpio, the best restaurant near our hotel. I guess you could call this a typical Italian Family restaurant. The staff is primarily composed of family members, mom, dad, son, daughter and grandma. Don't be surprised if you see the grandmother hand washing the dishes. The ambiance it causal, relaxed, borderline chaotic, but always friendly. The food, what can I say about the food, simply succulent. The pasta is perfectly cooked, the pizzas have thin and tasty crusts. Useful note there is a 10% service change and 1EU cover change (for bread) per person. You can consider that the tip is included in the service. read more

Tonnarelli with mussels and pecorino cheese ... If you love mussels you will thank me. Do not deviate ... this was hands down the best dish I had in 3 days in Rome! Even better than the little shop where the woman was making handmade pasta to order ! Trust me. I couldn't even get a pic bc after the first bite I dove in like I hadn't eaten in 10 days ! Do not deviate !! read more

Do not judge this book by its cover!! On a small side street, the food here is out of this world. Family run, the service is good, and Roberto is a charmer. We had the saltimbocca and the roasted artichokes to night. Best saltimbocca I ever had; the sauce was divine. Please try the house red wine. Very good. Do not miss this place! Paul & Susan from Connecticut, USA. read more

Wow. This was a very disappointing last dinner in Rome. I read the reviews and had hopes but it was just not good. The waiters rushed us through dinner like we were in the US. Awful. The lighting was so bright and harsh my husband said he could perform surgery on the table. My daughter had carbonara and said it was good. I had cannelloni, my first in Rome, and it was delicious. My husband had spaghetti bolognese and said it was awful and tasted like Prego. Last my son had lamb "chops" which had very little meat on many bones looked like they were yanked away from a hungry dog. We could not get out of there fast enough. So disappointed. Ugh. read more

Nice little place. Walking by this place after visiting Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps. Very close to both. Walked by and saw a little line and just decided to give it. The portions were good and the prices were fair. The staff were very efficient. Never had too wait long for any requests. Did not had to wait too long for the food to arrive. The tiramisu is really creamy, really tasty. You cannot go wrong to stop by and give it a try. read more

You don't need to stumble on this place or get a steer from some drunk to have dinner. You can take it from me that this is legit . The four of us rolled in here the other night and had a great relaxed full up Italian dinner. If you're in this area and want dinner you don't need to worry - you will be very happy. read more

Our evening at Da Olimpio is one of my favorite memories from Roma. We were in the neighborhood to visit the Trevi fountain (currently under construction sadly), and happened upon a local fellow that recommended this restaurant as it was his friend's place. We walked in determined to only do the aperitivo (you order the drink, they provide the tapas style buffet - great value!), but decided to do a full blown dinner after some time. Da Olimpio is a family owned business with 3 generations of cooks - and the meals show it. Every dish was so good that I don't even have pictures of all of them! We just devoured it. This is definitely an authentic italian restaurant and they have the locals to show for it. Google map your way to this restaurant asap, you won't regret it! read more

Really friendly staff. Had both the lasagna and the pasta Bolognese and they were very good. Tourist friendly.

How I do find good restaurants in foreign countries: I search for restaurant that don't look too fancy and posh and where locals go. This is one of the locations. The restaurant is clean and bright but it is quite small and sometimes you feel like you sit at one table with the people next to you. It is loud - sometimes. But the food is very good, the prices are fair and the staff is very friendly. It seems common in Rome to have the menu in different languages. Normally this is a strong sign that this is a tourist trap. In Rome I didn't make that experience. Especially not here. There was nothing I could complain about. From the welcome when we entered to goodbye when we left we felt comfortable and enjoyed our dinner. read more

Best restaurant in Italy by far! Homemade family owned with excellent food and service. The Pork and potatoes is a must try, as well as the flan for dessert. All of the pastas were super delicious and packed with tons of flavor, Da Olimpio is amazing and a real gem! read more

This was the best restaurant my fiance and I ate at during our trip to Rome. It's a small family-owned business that was bustling at dinner time and full of locals rather than tourists. The waitstaff were charming and warm, and the food was delicious and very affordably priced. There are a ton of vegetarian-friendly options on the menu and the portions are very generous. We ordered the gnocchi alla sorrentina, the tortellini with white sauce, and the eggplant parm. We also shared a lemon sorbet. The food was great across the board - we were very happy with our meal and highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Decent meal in Rome. Pasta was not quite as flavourful as I would've liked it to be but in terms of value, it seemed ok. We had the carbonara and the seafood risotto. Margherita pizza (for 6 euro) was pretty big, but plain. They also show prices as being not inclusive of service (10%) and charge for bread ("cover charge" - I think it was 1 euro) When we arrived, the restaurant seemed like it was full of mostly locals. Not a must try when in Rome but if it's close to your hotel and raining (like it was for us!) it might be ok. read more

I agree with the four stars. The food was good and quickly served. The waiters speak English and are extremely helpful. For a tourist spot it was very nice. I would recommend this place to anyone who has just arrived to Rome as we did. After surfing around, there are many better places. The only negatives I could say is that the bread was rather hard and the rice in the Minestrone soup was also hard. I blame myself for showing up right when the opened. I feel as though it would have been softer had we waited an hour. read more

I was a little skeptical but it was full of Italians and the food was delicious. The food was on the cheaper side. But, we were charged 6 euro for the waiter service. This isn't a fancy place and all they did was bring our order. The food was also not amazing to warrant the extra charge. read more

Yikes, I have to say that most yelp reviews have steered me in the right direction... However, this wasn't the case here. I kind of feel bad writing this but I feel that the reviews given overrate this place. I don't know how anyone would consider this a 'local' restaurant. Total tourist joint. Seems like a super casual spot. Kinda loud, one guy working in non-waiter clothing. The bread came from a cabinet that didn't appear to be lined. No joke. Just a big drawer with bread in it. The prices are great, can't comment too much on the food. We got in, got an odd vibe and called an audible. Ordered the house wine (good and cheap) and split a Margherita pizza and left. Ended up being about as basic of a cheese pizza as you can get.. People were nice, wine was good, tons of open tables, low prices. read more

Nice way to end our time in Rome. Our driver recommended this small, casual local place. We booked a reservation at 7:30, but got there early. So glad we did. There was a line out the door by 7:30!! The people eating around us were laughing and joking with the owner and servers which leads me to believe this is a regular treat for city center citizens. We began with house red wine and appetizers of fried stuffed zucchini and ricotta fritters. Both were good. I had the funghi and prosciutto pizza while the other party members had other types of pizzas. We ate every bite and left full and happy. They have a full menu and the service was outstanding. read more

Service was good. Had the spaghetti with clams and tortellini with cream sauce, both where good. Waiter was attentive and spoke some English. Casual dinner and didn't feel rushed to eat or make food choices. read more

I wandered into this place just on a whim. At first, I thought it was a touristy Pizza joint. But I was very wrong. It was so good. I tried the tortellini alla Bolognese, the Saltimboca Romano and the homemade custard. All was fantastic. I felt like the tortellini was intended for the American palette. I was the only apparent non-native in there and they take Credit Cards. I'll probably go again while here; they have a wide variety on the menu and are very friendly and accommodating. read more

We have been coming here since about 2002!! This little out of way place never disappoints. Richard has been one of the servers that we have seen on very visit over the years and offers, with the owners, the charm and homemade flare of good Italian dishes. The place has been remodeled and has a fresh look, while the dishes are made from generations of taste and flavors found not too often. I highly recommend visiting Olimpio and plan on relaxing and taking a nice slow lunch or dinner!! read more
