Went to this ristorante for lunch during our Rome tour! Good and vino were fabulous! We enjoyed home made fettuccine, spaghetti and linguine with clams, bolognese sauce and tomatoes, bacon and caper sauce. Their tiramisu dessert was delicious and amazing! The staff was amazing as well. Very helpful and friendly. The trattoria was very nice and quaint. A definite must for lunch will visiting Rome! read more

For my first evening in Rome I thought I'd give this place a try. I had the cappriciosa pizza 12€ and daughter had the mushroom risotto 10€. Also had a small carafe of the house wine 5€ because "when In Rome..." sorry had to do it lol. Service was pleasant and they speak English here, thank goodness because my Italian is not so great. Ambiance is warm and authentic, paintings decorate the walls and you feel like you're in a family restaurant. Outdoor seating is also available. Honestly while I appreciated the bits of assorted mushroom, the consistency of the risotto wasn't very creamy. Not sure if they used Carnaroli or Arborio rice. Wasn't mushy and still had a bite to it which is how it should be. The pizza had a thin and crispy consistency however toppings were a bit sparse. Would've been nice to have more than just one slice of prosciutto. The sauce however was very fresh and after having airplane food and granola bars for 24 hours this was just what I needed! read more

4.5 stars overall. My wife and I had completed the nighttime Colosseum Tour and were searching for a restaurant late. After being turned away from several places, we peeked into Due Colonne. A couple of customers were finishing up outside, and the inside was set for the next day. The gentlemen (owner?) sitting at a table in back considered our request to eat something simple, then kindly waved us in. SERVICE: 5.0. Though we entered late, the service was friendly. FOOD: 4.5. - Vegetable Soup: 4.5. My wife really enjoyed it. - Straccetti (Arugula with beef slices and Parmesan cheese shavings): 4.5. My dish. Excellent. We each ordered one glass of house wine, one white and one red. The glasses were VERY full. AMBIANCE: 4.0. Warm, nicely-used interior. Outdoor seating available. read more

We stopped by this little hole in the wall after braving the crowds of the Colosseum and walking back to our flat yesterday afternoon. What a great choice stopping in was. Our waitress was right there with menus, asking what we wanted and helping us with the translation. A table of ten walked in right after us so we quickly ordered a bruschetta to share, pasta carbonara for myself, and Pasta e' fagioli for the lovely K, adding a bottle of water (it was not from the tap) and a bottle of house white wine. The wine did not come with a label, but it was quite nice given the price (9 euro) so can't comment on the name of the product. The table of ten ordered, our wine and water were delivered, quickly followed by our bruschetta. While we enjoyed that starter, two large pizzas came out for the table of ten in record time. Our bruschetta done, that plate was cleared and our lunch arrived soon after. Both dishes were very good, well seasoned, plentiful and simply displayed which was what we had anticipated. Bread accompanied the soup, and all worked in great harmony. The decor could use a little sprucing up, but this is Rome and places such as this abound. This one set itself apart for us with the food, our waitress and the speed with which we were served. Will be back. read more

Due Colonne - Simple food, well prepared and piping hot! What more could you ask for? - Roman Near Me - Rome, RM

This is by far my favorite restaurant in Rome. I go there every time I am in the city, which is quite frequently. Last summer I was ecstatic walking down the street hoping to see its sign and wondering whether it was able to survive the pandemic. After another amazing meal there (penne gorganzola arugula is my favorite) I looked around and realized the local Romans (who obviously know where to eat) kept it alive during the pandemic. It's places like this I'm glad the tourists don't know about! There are several due colonne in Rome btw and I bet the (few) bad reviews here literally reviewed the wrong place. That's annoying. Check the address. read more

This place deserves a standing ovation! I'm about to make it a temple, it's that good. Super close to the colosseo yet no tourists were here for dinner. It was all locals and a few french couples. I love the vibe here, everyone was so friendly and made sure we knew what we were ordering. I got the spaghetti bolognese with cheese. I forgot what cheese it had spinkled on top but it was addicting. Okay, let me say this slowly. It's nothing you've ever had and the sauce wasn't sour or sweet but it had the perfect balance from sweet tomatoes. It was so good, I nearly cried. Yeah, I'm a bit dramatic but seriously- this is a local spot y'all! Cleaned my plate is 8 minutes! Yep, timed it. I also got toast bread with italian ham and it was seasoned nicely and toasted just how I love it! The ham was really rich and the toast was seasoned with pepper and olive oil. Since my best friend and I are going back tonight, I'll probably order this one again. Trying really hard not to order the same EXACT meal but I can't! It was so delicious but I know the rest of their pastas are going to be just as superior. My favorite place to eat in my 22 years of living. I love this place read more

Awesome family owned Italian restaurant. The pizza is delicious pizza. My little one says it's the best bolognaise she has ever eaten. We had an incredible carbonara as well as a delicious mushroom risotto. Being in a somewhat residential neighborhood away from the large monuments means it's authentic and they work hard to make great food. read more

Came here because it was late at night and we were starving. Even with that, usually anything would taste good, but for some reason, this place didn't cut it. When we arrived around 10pm, there was a tourist family sitting outside, an Italian couple on a date, and an extended Italian family having a large group dinner in the back. They clearer were friends with the owners as they were mingling with them while the rest of the restaurant lacked attention and service. It took them a long time, even by European standards, to get us our water and bread. Once we finally got our food, my spaghetti Carbonera tasted poorly. I had thought they forgot about us, but it just took along time for there not hardly being anyone in the restaurant. We were happy to get out of there. read more

Very authentic Italian food - run by a family. Best risotto I've had! It even has a view of the Colosseum in the background. The family serves the table and are friendly and quick. Lovely find! read more

This place is so gas. I got Carbonara and Tirimisu and some appetizers and it felt like an angel had just came in my mouth. All the haters in the comments are dumb cunts that don't know shit about good food. Service was great as well. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. Thank you for your time l. read more

To be brief, the food is tasteless, the service is slow and rude, and even the music skips like a broken record. Keep walking. This is Italy for goodness sakes- how can the pasta be bad?! read more

Gross! We ordered a bottled water with our pizza and it was refilled from tap water. The water was 5 euro to boot! I should have known when they brought it to the table already opened. Most restaurants open it at your table. I spat out my first sip as I could clearly taste the difference. Pizza was fine, not the best but not the worst. read more

We arrived in Rome, and just started to enjoy the city. As we walked the side streets, we found this place. It was clean, the staff was friendly, and it was filled with locals. We decided to give it a try, and I am glad we did. The staff was very friendly, and the menu was diverse. The prices were reasonable. Eating in Italian restaurants is very different than American. The atmosphere is very relaxed, and there is not the high pressure to get in and out. We ordered and had a great meal. We stayed in Rome for a week, and tried several different places. We came back here more than once because of the service and the food. There was nothing negative about this place and I would encourage anyone to eat here. read more

My husband and I headed here for lunch after a recommendation for authentic Roman cuisine from our tour guide after a day of touring the colosseum and we were so glad we did! We shared a platter of bruschetta to start along with a bottle of the house white, which set a good tone for the rest of the meal. I had the spaghetti carbonara, he had the penne arrabbiata and we cleaned our plates. If you are looking for quality food that is reasonably priced and to avoid large tourist crowds, this unassuming mom and pop shop is your place! They offer free WiFi and outdoor seating. The staff we're very courteous. I highly recommend them. read more

Most unpleasant and aggravating experience in Italy. Waiter was extremely rude. We stopped in to enjoy a glass of wine after a long day of site seeing. After confirming with the hostess in Italian that we were only interested in refreshments, the waiter was visibly annoyed making comments under his breath. On the spot he raised the price of a glass of prosecco from what was stated on the menu. Then he tried to charge us for two additional dishes when we had clearly only ordered two glasses of wine! It was simply insulting. read more

For an italian restaurant in rome italy, what a disappointment. The pomodoro sauce taste like it came from a jar. We spent 10 days across italy eating in smaller inexpensive restaurants having spectacular meals. We hoped for a good meal our first night in rome, and stumbled across this place. Should have gone elsewhere. read more

Honestly, this place makes fantastic homemade food. Authentic, no frills, and high quality. Just as good as nonna's. Anyone who rated this power than a 4 doesnt have a clue. read more

Looked enticing from the street but food was super salty, bacon underdone and service pretty shoddy. Would not recommend. Also, was charged for bread so be wary of that... read more

Stopped in late afternoon for some refreshments. Wine and beer are appropriately priced. We had a lovely time drinking al fresco and watching the street traffic. Staff was very friendly. read more

First day in Rome and took walk to acclimate ourselves. In the way back from the Coliseum we passed several restaurants but decided on Colonne simply because it looked cute. Small really nice restaurant. Staff was attentive and very friendly, house red wine was good and the menu was very reasonable and diverse. We chose pizza and very surprised by the size and quality of them. Highly recommended. Nothing negative and we will be back. read more
