A warm and inviting staff greeted us, sat us outside in their 'dining shed' and we just knew it was going to be a good (great) night. Almost 5-stars across the board from the entire fam (rack of lamb to a hamburger - in Italy?! - to gnocchi and fettuccine dishes) - we were stuffed (portions here were a bit more 'serious' than at some other spots over the past week). A heavy wine pour (Grazie mille!). So much flavor in each dish. Friendly - and fun - staff. Another winner all around.

AMAZING!!! Near Piazza Novanno - as authentic as it gets…read more I've been to Rome on 3 trips and eaten here on 7 different occasions. The pasta is absolutely amazing, especially the carbonara. Homemade noodles with the perfect al dente consistency makes all the difference. Several of the times we came we actually saw the woman in the front of the restaurant making the noodles. Great selection of red & white wine. We actually ordered a case of the house white to have shipped home. Top 5 tiramisu that I've had in Italy. Service and management is exception. We became rather frequent patrons, so we got to know the waiter and manager well.

I don't think we had the same waiter for any of our interactions, but they were still attentive. The vibe is very enjoyable. Recommend.

We had one of the worst dining experiences of our entire trip to Italy at this restaurant. The…read moreservice felt discriminatory and incredibly unwelcoming from the moment we arrived. Our family of four was waiting to be seated when a local family of four arrived after us and was seated immediately. We were eventually seated right next to them, and they were served bread while we were ignored and received none. We ordered wine that was never brought to the table, and at one point a waiter who was not even serving us removed our wine glasses after we had already ordered the wine. The service throughout the meal was chaotic and rude. The artichoke dish was extremely bland -- no seasoning and no flavor at all. Most of the food was greasy and disappointing. To make matters worse, we were seated directly next to the kitchen where the cooks and waiters were loudly arguing throughout our meal. We understand that service in Italy is often slower and more relaxed, and we have enjoyed wonderful hospitality everywhere else during our trip. However, this was by far the worst service we experienced anywhere in Italy. We were even asked if we wanted the bill before we had finished eating, while the local family next to us remained seated comfortably long after finishing their meal. We left feeling unwelcome and discriminated against. Unfortunately, this restaurant seemed interested only in serving locals well. If you are not Italian, do yourself a favor and dine elsewhere. We absolutely do not recommend this place.

The menu had all the Roman classics, and we ordered Pasta Carbonara, Casio e Pepe with Guanciale, Roman style artichokes, and Zucchini Flowers. After a few minutes, I was transported to the Jersey Shore. As the food arrived, that Jersey Shore analogy grew into reality. I have tasted this food before. Il Ragno d'Oro became a mediocre Italian restaurant in Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey. However, I was in Rome, Italy and expected more. My Pasta Carbonara was heavy, stuck together, and thought al dente was a bodega in Newark. The Cacio e Pepe had coagulated into a sticky mess. The artichoke and zucchini dishes were greasy and standard fare for an Italian restaurant anywhere in the world. But I was in Rome! Roma-the home of Pasta Carbonara, Cacio e Pepe, and Artichoke preparations. Yes, everyone was perfectly nice, the prices were reasonable, and the people around me were all having a grand time. My wife, who is of Italian heritage, couldn't eat her pasta. She said her Italian grandmother would have gone into the kitchen to show them how to cook pasta. I too, usually a human garbage disposal, left most of my pasta on the table. We walked back to our apartment in Prati disappointed. This was our worst dinner in Rome. Sorry, but it's true. Maybe the cooks had a bad night, but the dishes were subpar at best.

Trattoria della Stampa dal 1956 had outstanding Yelp reviews, and they absolutely lived up to the hype. We started with the buffalo mozzarella and tomatoes, which were incredibly fresh and simple in the best way. I had the Mezze Maniche all'Amatriciana, and it was outstanding. The sauce was rich and flavorful, and the guanciale was cooked perfectly. My wife ordered the Tagliatelle al Pesto, and she loved it as well. The food was excellent, the service was warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere felt like the kind of authentic neighborhood trattoria we were hoping to find. One thing to know before you go: this place is very small. We watched several people get turned away because there simply weren't any tables available. If this restaurant is on your list, make a reservation, or you may not get in. If you're exploring the Pantheon area, don't miss this place. We'd happily return the next time we're in Rome.

The staff is incredibly friendly, the food is great, and the prices are very reasonable. Unlike a lot of the more touristy restaurants nearby, this one still has that authentic charm and real Italian feel. Not huge inside and it's always packed (for good reason), so I'd definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time to avoid waiting at the door. The carbonara was one of my favorites I had in Rome. Really rich with a strong egg yolk flavor, which I loved. The meatballs were also so good and definitely worth ordering. You really can't go wrong with any of the food here.

One of our group ate here last time she visited several years ago and loved it. We are carrying on the tradition. Everyone wanted a break from pasta and wanted to try some chicken. It was delicious. Three chicken breast were served with a small side salad and fries. The chicken had a nice crisp outer layer but it was moist and juicy inside. I got the mixed greens salad. Our server indicated that it was as small but I said I still wanted it for my lunch meal. It was perfect. Lots of fresh veggies. Olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette for dressing. Nice and light for lunch. The inside was so cute as well. Sidewalk cafe tables. Indoor seating with the nice people watching window view. Bright and cheery. Great stop.

For dessert we shared the chocolate profiterole (amazing) and I had the iced tea (sweet but not too sweet). We sat inside due to the noise and heat outside. Even without AC it was very comfortable in early September. 100% recommend you eat here if in the area.
