    To start off, the food was amazing. I absolutely loved it. It felt soo fresh and flavors were amazing. The waiters to add on were so kind and helpful. They made the entire experience great:) They put so much effort into being kind to the customers and accommodate to their needs. I loved the place so much and will definitely go back. I wish i found it sooner.

    Seafood lasagna

    I've had really good meals since I've been in Italy, but this was by far one of my favs. We were seated quickly; and greeted with some welcome Prosecco and bread. I'm always in for some free bubbly . The menu is well balanced with soups, salads, pastas, meats and seafood options. Not only was there a variety but many of each! For my entree I had a lentil soup and penne in salmon sauce. Everything is cooked to order. I personally love my food steaming hot & that alone was really satisfying. The staff was welcoming & attentive. Good location. Please note if you sit outside they do allow smoking. This was my only turn off. Other than that yes yes yes to the food.

    I tried Elettra based on Yelp reviews and it was worth it! We ended up having dinner at Elettra the three days we were in Rome. The food was fresh and delicious. It was inexpensive for the type and quality of food you received. We were served a complimentary glass of champagne once seated. We had the four cheese pasta. Simple and delicious for the picky eaters. The scampi risotto was amazing. We had the grilled sea bass twice. We also tried the beef lasagna. Sooo good. The tiramisu is a must try. The waiters did their best to communicate if you need assistance with menu translation. We had amazing service. The staff worked hard and they were friendly. It gets busy and so you may have to wait but do not leave or get upset, it is worth the wait. Rome charges a city tax and you will see that on your bill. They will also charge for the basket of bread.

    Wine not to expensive but really good

    Took my wife on our honeymoon here it is incredible! The waiter was great, I highly recommend this place. Food was delicious and service was fantastic.

    This restaurant was right down the street from our hotel which was great since we came into town from Switzerland late and were hungry for dinner. They brought us some prosecco complimentary when we sat down. I ordered the lasagna Bolognese and my friend ordered the pasta with bacon and red sauce. Both were fantastic. My lasagna had gobs of melted parmesan on top of a lovely Bolognese sauce. Let's be honest, I ate the whole thing! We shared a bottle of red wine and some sparkling water. Though full, we ordered the tiramisu which was amazing! Service was good, the waiter was a bit slow to warm up, but friendly. We sat inside, though there was an option to sit outside. We really enjoyed the place and the prices were very reasonable, especially after being in Switzerland! Bought some bottles of water next door to take back to the hotel which were only 1 Euro for a tall bottle.

    After a log day we went to have dinner here and man we made the right choice. The people were really nice, the food was superb and the bill for 2 people wasn't bad either. If you're in the area and even if you're not you should come to try this place.

    Such an amazing find. My friends and I were staying very close to the restaurant and after a long day of walking didn't want to go somewhere too far. Stumbled upon this place looking on Yelp and have to say we loved the food, service, atmosphere, and prices of the food. I would recommend anyone to come who comes to Rome and plan to come again.

    A receipt of the meal

    Be prepare to be taken advantage of if you are a tourist Pros: decent food, nice outdoor dining Cons: I ordered the set dinner for 18 euro and "large house wine" the server stated our house wine is a a very nice chianti. He open the bottle once again told us how good the wine is. I always assume house wine comes in a pitcher but since it was open I started to enjoy the wine. Fast forward to the bill and the wine was 23 euros!!! More then the meal I ate. I have no issue purchasing the wine had it been recommended (I am on vacation so splurging is expected) instead of a bate and switch. They did the same with the bread. It's 1 euro per person and it's presented as compliments of the house. I notice tables speaking Italian did not have bread basket as only English and other tourist speaking different languages all had bread on the table. Even though the food was decent the way they take advantage of tourist left a bad taste in my mouth. Would not recommend this restaurant. Spend and splurge at another place that is not so shady. 2 star solely for the food.

    This place was awesome. The pastries are really good and fresh. We asked also for fresh orange juice and I know orange it's orange but this was good and sweet. The cool part is the people here, they are friendly and they are able to communicate in different languages. I heard Italian of course also spanish and English. Recommended.

    I am so glad I came here, the pasta is so fresh and the cheese cream sauce is so good. I ordered the Tagliatelle Ai Quarttro formaggi it is easily enough for two people. I paired it with a glass of house red wine and garlic and olive oil bruschetta. The menu is in English and Italian

There is a restaurant on the same corner with the same name so make sure you end up at the right place. There is always a woman in the front window rolling out fresh pasta so you know it's legit. This place is very popular so you should expect to have to wait in a line outside for a table, trust me it is worth it. The waitstaff keeps things moving and are very organized so just be patient. I ordered an Aperol Spritz and water for drinks. The cocktail was a nice size, well balanced, and I loved the branded glass. It was very hot outside so appreciated the cold drinks and AC units. We also ordered a side of bread to share, which of course comes with olive oil and balsamic, so we could soak up every ounce of the delicious pasta sauces. The bread crust was crispy and warm and inside soft, perfect. So many pasta options on the menu. Every dish I have tried has been spectacular, but I decided to get the Carbonara again as it was my favorite last time. The sauce is rich and decedent, the noodles are a thicker type and perfectly al dente, and the pancetta and cheese on top adds lovely saltiness. It's so satisfying. You will be full after you devour every bite so you don't need the Second course. We couldn't even do dessert. Osteria da Fortunata has multiple locations and open late, so I highly recommend you try them when visiting Rome. This is a town of amazing food, but here really just hits the spot!

Our hotel manager had suggested another restaurant, but I was apprehensive to try, but did later, more on that restaurant review in it's own post. I rather did what I should have done throughout the trip to, which is to search google for local reviews. This tactic I found to be much better than to trust American reviews for restaurants to visit from Youtube or even here, just because the American touristy taste tends to favor bland or Olive Garden style pseudo Italian. The real Italian taste is much different and something one needs to develop. I was familiar with European Italian food, as I had said before in other reviews that Mexico has better Italian food outside of Italy. Additionally, the good restaurants here in Italy do not open before 7 PM. If it does or if someone that looks foreign to Italy is outside trying to lure you in, it's a tourist restaurant with iffy flavor. At this restaurant my husband had the Lobster pasta and I had the spinach/ricotta ravioli, and we both were beyond satisfied. We also had the artichoke as an appetizer, and trusted the waiter with his suggestion for a bottle of wine. He must have been some genius because the wine went well with our meal. The ambience was cozy and very family oriented, however, the rain outside made it romantic for us. Another key point for this restaurant and it traditional flare was that they brought out the olive oil and red vinegar for our salad and of course olive oil for our wonderful home-made bread. I'm so glad we chose this place for those of us Americans who understand culinary cuisine.

We have absolutely no complaints about the service. The food, however, was very underwhelming. The Margherita pizza was undercooked, with dough that was still soft and not fully baked. The chicken dish tasted more like a simple stew and lacked flavor, and the lasagna was just average. Another red flag was that all of our food arrived within about five minutes of ordering, which made it seem like everything had been pre-made rather than freshly prepared. We rarely leave negative reviews, especially when the staff is so friendly, but we chose this restaurant specifically because of its exceptional reviews. I think it's only fair to share our honest experience so other travelers have realistic expectations. While the service was excellent, the food simply didn't live up to the reputation.

Being new to Rome, and having walked 20k steps on our first day, there are an abundance of options a for dining. We wanted something classically Rome nearby to our hotel. The Yelp review of this restaurant was sufficiently positive to entice us. Being American, we appreciate the earlier-than-customary dining options. We arrived at 6pm without a reservation. We were seated immediately. The restaurant is intimate and very well staffed. The wood fire oven is front-and-center and the fresh mozzarella is prominent in display. We ordered a bottle of wine ... all options are very fairly priced. This is nice. We started with a Greek salad to share. It was unlike any American Greek salad ... and a really delight. It is early June but the tomatoes and peppers were ripe and crisp and really fresh. My wife ordered the Marguerite pizza; I opted for the Gorgonzola pizza (the effusive review on Yelp was compelling). Both were solid. We appreciate the thin crust and the crisp edged. The center of both, however, was doughy and somewhat undercooked. Looking around ... the restaurant was over 50% full even at this early hour. Most were Americans. We saw a good number of diners with pasta dishes ... and none were left unfinished. Sadly, we don't have any comparisons to weigh (yet). So, I cannot affirm any "best of" citations, it this is certainly a solid trattoria/pizzeria. The staff are attentive and the food served hot and fresh.

I have never seen so much salmon on one plate. After our meal, I made a discreet phone call to the Norwegian embassy in Rome asking them if they still had any salmon left. The woman at the embassy assured me the Norwegian salmon supply was fine. That surprises me given all the salmon that was on my wife's pizza.
