    Half rigatoni with pork cheek
    Anatoli L.

    This was a 5 star review that became 3 stars after the meat was brought out. We had a reservation for 7 pm, arrived a bit earlier and were quickly seated at a table outside. There were a few cocktails offered, and an extensive wine list, mostly Italian with a few French additions. I found a decent bottle in Piedmont section for $39 (Nebbiolo/Vespolino blend). Food started on a high note - Burrata with diced vegetables was delicious, frito misto was also very tasty. I had rigatoni all carbonara made with guanciale, very tasty. Eggplant Parm was beautifully creative and tasty, and lasagna was also excellent. If we would stop there, this would be a five star review. But kids wanted meat, and so we ordered breaded lamb chops and steak special (medium rare). Big mistake. The meats were of a very poor quality - both were impossible to chew on, and overall just bad. It was bad enough to spoil the impression of otherwise a very good meal. Good service, no complaints.

    The amatriciana ravioli special I had at Ditirambo changed my life. The tartufo we had for dessert did it again. Ditirambo is worth every penny. The interior is charming, quiet enough to have a conversation but you can still hear some hustle and bustle. The wine list is great, and I especially appreciated the way that they feature wines from Lazio. Great local food should be paired with great local wine! The service was perfectly friendly. My only knock is that we asked for bread, which the waiter promptly brought out without plates. The plates didn't come until the appetizer came. This had me thinking to leave 4 stars, but the minute I tasted the ravioli all was forgiven. Do not miss out on Ditirambo.

    Stopped here each time we were in Rome. Wait staff were friendly. We enjoyed the food each time. The meatballs were fantastic. I also recommend the tonnarelli cacio e Pepe. I had that on our first trip. We will be back.

    The best octopus we had in Rome (and ever)

    One of the best meals we had in Rome! So good that we cancelled a reservation for another restaurant near the tail end of our trip just to eat here again. Few highlights: - Roasted octopus was our favorite dish here and the best prepared octopus my husband and I have had to date. Buttery, melt in your mouth texture, crispy on the outside and so tender on the inside, and the subtle sauce on the side brought the dish together. Amazing. - Vegetarian lasagna was surprisingly good and portion-wise very generous. - Pappardelle with wild boar reminded me of an elevated hamburger helper...and I mean that in the best way. Very rich and savory as well as comforting and hearty. Highly recommend making a reservation before! It's gets busy and it will make your life much easier.

    Pasta with artichoke and guanciale!

    Extraordinary pasta, unique quality and fresh! This restaurant was recommended to us and we loved it

    Great little place in a touristy area. Service is very friendly and they all speak English. Most patrons are foreign here however the food is extremely good. The grilled calamari are outstanding indeed as per some other reviews. The carbonara is well done also. The Mista salad although very large is not up to Italian standards. Beef carpaccio was great. They had a seafood platter which was also a hit at our table. Overall a cute little place with good food. One thing I don't understand is that most Italian restaurants don't have any music at all, I think it would add to the ambiance but then everyone is on their phones anyways! lol

    Calamari my son said to chewy ,, i didnt try it
    Ginnie N.

    Our last dinner in Rome,, the Ravioli was everyones favorite. My Suckling pig was delicious and the Duck Carpaccio Devine !! no dressing on my fennel salad ? i dont think they do dressings ,, your supposed to put your own olive oil and balsamic on ( i noticed this other places in italy as well). My son said his calamari was a little chewy, the Ragu was tasty.

    Linguini cinghiale

    Sister restaurant of Grappolo d'Oro Great food and service the pasta was al dente with a nuanced wild boar ragu. Beef cheeks were perfectly prepared and the zabaglione hit the spot Washed down with some great Brunello and end with a grappa Perfect end to a great day of walking and sight-seeing in Rome

    This evening Mary and I had a wonderful dinner at Sue e Gui Cucina Romana in the Prati district of…read moreRome. Daniel, the son of the chef and part owner was gracious and conversational and made great recommendations for our dinner. We started with a crispy sage leaf appetizer made simply with sage leaves lightly battered and fried in olive oil. Yummy! All of the pasta is made fresh and Mary selected Ravioli ricotta e Spinach while I selected Saltimbocca alla romana (Veal slices in Roman style) and both dishes were delicious. After dinner we opted out of dessert, but Daniel brought a treat to the table consisting of two sugar coated cookies and suggested we soaking them in our wine as a final treat. They were Wonderful! So far one of the best meals we have had in Rome. We would both highly recommend this restaurant, both for the family atmosphere and the great food. We hope to return before leaving Rome.

    Review # 1200 After…read moresome shopping on the Via cola Di Riemzo, we were ready for lunch. This spot was a Yelp find. We arrived just before they opened at 12:30. We asked for a table outside and the kind lady asked us if we had a reservation (oh oh). We didn't. No problem as we took our pick of one of the tables. Two levels inside with a small Bar in the back. Before we knew it, outside seating was full and inside also filled up-a good sign. We ordered a liter (ended up being too much but when in Rome...) of their house Red and enjoyed it. For starters, we ordered the Fried Artichokes (thick breading and will order the Roman style with garlic/vinegar next time), fried Zucchini and Suppli-Cacio Pepe. The Suppli was delicious and was enjoyed the most. For main, it was Pasta Carbonara (Guanciale )-Proper carbonara and the streak of not having a bad version of this dish in Rome continues. The sliced Beef with mushrooms was also delicious -super tender and thin pieces of beef (medium rare as requested). We asked if the Tiramisu was house-made. Our server answered, "yes, and I am the one who makes it." How could we not order after that?! One of the best Tiramisus we've had. Perfect balance of coffee dipped lady fingers with cream-delicious! Our Server was kind, attentive and full of hustle -she was covering a lot of ground. Don't miss this Gem if you are in the Prati district.

    Yes, it's worth the wait if you go there early. We stood in line at 12:30 on a weekday, as in,…read morelunchtime. We were 2nd in line and waited about 30 minutes. I would wait longer. I had possibly the most amazing chick food pasta a girl could imagine. Girls know what girl food is. The pasta in Italy is just better -obviously. But then put all sorts of girl flavors on it like Lemon and Orange, just lightly enough, zest with a small hint of cheese-..... omgosh. Yes, yes, and yes. Need my hubs to replicate at home. He is going to be busy trying to perfect this. Tagliatelle with orange and lemon parmesan. This was it. It was the best. Everything else we ordered was amazing as well. Wait outside. They don't have a sign telling you to wait, no server telling you to wait. You wait out there, wondering if you're in the right place, but then people stand behind you and you're like - oh! I'm here. This is the place. There are possibly 4 tables inside. It's small. I read about them being rude- we did not have that problem. In fact, they made a mistake and we kindly let them know we ordered something else- they corrected it and were nice about it.

We were super lucky that we didn't have to wait too long to get a table and we were sat instantly. They can only seat about 18 total. Both pastas were just absolutely amazing. The wine recommendation to match was equally great. Very reasonable priced. Really nice staff. Very much a self sufficient spot. Loved it and would recommend. The tiramisu had me in love all over again
