Best meal we had in Rome! " Ravioli with sage and brown butter, carciofi alla Romana, and a sublime appetizer of small tomatoes with basil and burrata, which I was reluctant to order because tomatoes in early January, when it's been pouring all week (the opposite of sun-ripened, feel me?) and also, the saddest caprese salad of my life had been on a previous trip to Rome in March. Happy to report this was the best caprese (or caprese variant) of my life. The bread was top notch too. Ditto the cheapest red wine on the menu. I'm a cheap date. We were originally seated by the front window, which was lovely, but the staff, apologizing profusely, realized they needed our table for a large party and moved us to the corner where we were next to a shelf of interesting books (my kind of atmosphere) and we had a fine view of the room - better than our original seats! The staff was friendly and professional, right down to the bus boy who helped my husband when he realized he was accidentally absconding with someone else's black umbrella from the increasingly large collection stashed at the back. Every time I had a less-than-inspired meal this trip, I was wishing I was back at Est. read more

Best meal in our 4 days in Rome, from the chicory with wild fennel to the fettuccini with fresh porcini to the wine pairings and orange chocolate cake to finish. Clearly a place that cares about every aspect, food to service! read more

Just had a delicious lunch at Artigiani Del Gusto, my favorite meal in Rome. Home made pasta and great flavors. Friendly service as well. I wish I would have discovered this sooner than on my last day. Next time I visit Rome I will definitely go back. Thank you! read more

This is clearly a wine bar, but I stopped by for a quick bowl of pasta only, so this review reflects solely that experience. I had their special for the day, which was a black pasta with mushrooms and sausage, topped with a ton of shredded cheese. The black pasta was a nice change from the common white pasta. It was a homey dish, and I liked it, but felt like it was missing a little bit of flavor punch (1 star off). Perhaps a little bit more salt and pepper would have made the dish superb. The portion size was generous. I left with leftovers. read more

A small restaurant in the corner of an alley provides some very good local food, a lively atmosphere, and excellent service. We had a variety of Italian foods from meatballs, pasta, octopus, and the daily specials, all of which were incredible food. The local ambience of this restaurant made the whole experience so much more special, with a lively crowd and welcoming service, at the right pace. The desserts were incredibly delicious as well, as their collection of sweets were the perfect conclusion to a meal that feels and tastes like a piece of Roman tradition. We recommend the Baba and their warm dark chocolate cake.... Mmmm read more

Warning: Hard to find from the main boulevard because the street sign is so far down the street. Glad we finally found it, worth being lost for 20 minutes, the food was delicious and very nice service. read more

Amazing dinner at Est Artigiani del Gusto tonight! Delicious and fresh Caprese salad we devoured before I could take a picture, creamy and delicious Spaghetti Carbonara with super crispy guanciale, spinach and ricotta filled ravioli with sage butter sauce and incredibly tender grilled octopus with potatoes! So happy we walked by this place and I looked it up! Service was really great and they even gave us some of their focaccia they make in house to try, which was delicious!! This restaurant is situated on the cutest street so sit outside and people watch and take it all in! Can't beat the ambiance! read more

Well on our second night in Roma we found Artigiani del gusto !! We had a reservation for 8:30 and showed up a bit early but our table was set we are off and running . First of all the restaurant is packed on a Monday night so be sure and make a reservation to avoid any waits cause they are like a fine tuned clock. Well where do I start the first plates were a carpaccio that was the finest and rarest beef you could imagine that just melted in your mouth with outstanding flavor and also an appetizer special of the night that my partner had that was also superb. My entree was the tagliatelle with truffles in a home made butter sauce that was so fantastic I ate the entire plate and hard to describe just how spectacular it was The wine list was just right and had wines in a variety of price ranges to please every palate My partners opted for a cavatelli special of squid ink pasta with porcini mushrooms and sausage with fennel that was fantastic !!! I finished with an Insalata misto and the three of us just sat back finished our bottle of super red wine and said this is the best meal of our entire trip !! The ambience of soft white lights and wine bottles surrounding the restaurant just added to the excellent evening OUTSTANDING to say the least read more

Great food good wine list staff was responsive Location maybe tough to find But being down an alley in Rome for some reason usually means better food read more

What an amazing meal! My husband had been looking forward to Amatriciana since we made plans to end our vacation in Rome, and the chef made him happy! as for me, I am reluctant to order ravioli in the States because the pasta is usually too thick. when the waitress described the spinach ravioli with butter and sage sauce as "delicate" I crossed my fingers and hoped that I had found what I was missing... did I ever! the ravioli melted in my mouth and delivered a subtle, tasty surprise. Mille grazie to chef and staff of the fabulous gem of a restaurant for a gastronomic delight! read more

While staying nearby in an AirBnb we decided to check Est Artigiani del Gusto out for dinner. We were quickly greeted when we arrived and seated. The inside consists of a bar area and a seperate dining area that is lined with a very impressive selection of wines. The decor is quite nice, lit well and the art makes for a very intimate ambiance. SCW selected some Rose for us to try, and while unfortunately they had just run out of that bottle they suggested a similar bottle that was very delicious. We then ordered our meals, SCW had the spinach and ricotta ravioli while I had pasta with basil, zucchini strips sliced so thin, beautiful tomatoes with a incredible sauce. SCW (Super Cute Wife) and I shared bites of our meals as we always like to try each others food and her ravioli was delicious. She enjoyed every bite. Every bite of my home made pasta was incredibly delicious. The sauce was incredible, complex and it wasn't drowning in it like we often find in the states. Delicate and subtle flavors danced on my taste buds with each bite. We ordered some lemon cake (fancier name from the menu that I don't recall) and it was delicious. Not too sweet and the lemon came through flavorful and moist. A very good way to finish the meal. Service was outstanding with knowledgeable and friendly staff that do speak English although we tried our best to speak in the little Italian we have learned. We weren't rushed and we could take the time to savor the meal like it deserves. read more

We had the most wonderful meal. We arrived before they opened for lunch, they let us in , AND they went across the street to buy gluten-free pasta to cook for my husband. I felt like I was in Nonnas kitchen. I wanted so badly to go in the back and learn her secrets . There are so many places to eat in Roma... but this hidden gem is special . read more

Incredible experience! Best meal we had in Rome! Recommended to us by a local, it was a must try. We had a 9pm reservation. Ordered caprese, cacio e pepe, pomodoro con bolognese, cod (special), and some sort of delicious chocolate/pistachio/orange cake for dessert. Every bite of the meal was amazing. And the service topped it off. Such a comfortable yet upscale ambience. We were there almost 10:30 pm and watched the staff eat dinner together LOL you know it's good because they're eating it themselves! Please give this place a try. read more

Great food, great service. Close to everything! More expensive than other places, but it is a nicer more formal place.

We had a wonderful meal here as we were exploring Rome. We made reservations with TheFork app which worked out just fine. They had our table ready and waiting for us. For appetizers, both our dishes were very flavorful and new to us. First was a chicory dish with Romano cheese and peppers. Second was an amazing duck speck with greens. Both dishes were quite memorable and I'd order them again in a heartbeat. For pasta, we had amatriciano and a porcini mushroon dishes, Again, both were wonderful. There were many different wines available by the glass and we tried several. They served my wife a nice glass of Prosecco and kindly gave her the rest of the bottle since it was close to empty. Who complains about a little extra Prosecco? Not us! We were too full for dessert but I was watching a mother of one of the staff cranking out homemade pasta. It was so amazing watching her technique and she smiled graciously when I asked if I could take a picture. She was so happy, she instructed her daughter to give us desserts to try so try them we did! Delicious! read more

Wow what can I say about this place . The food was just amazing here the pasta is house made and you can definitely tell when you have the first bite . The flavors are just perfect and everything was cooked to perfection. This place might be a little hidden from the main restaurants but this is a must go to place if you want to have some amazing pasta . They defiantly have a big wine selection. We got a wine the server recommended and it was really good . read more

Service was top shelf. Everyone with a smile and happy to help a couple hungry Americans. Best Gluten free pasta, just with pepper and cheese, phenomenal. I also got the lamb and it was sensational. House wine was very nice. The building is also just awesome the brickwork was so different and cool. I found an old nail above our table. read more

Excellent: Hidden Gem of Rome The best food we had during our time in Rome! It was easy to make a reservation (which I recommend doing for many restaurants in Rome) and when we got there we were greeted by the friendly staff. They kept us well fed with yummy bread (for free) and had a good wine selection. The caprese salad was amazing, particularly the mozzarella which was incredibly fresh. The pasta was the show stopper. I got the pappardelle ragú and it was some of the best, freshest pasta I've ever tasted. We met the owner- so friendly! Overall an amazing experience and would highly recommend. read more

There were three of us visiting the restaurant. I looked on yelp to help us decide the best place for lunch. The rain added to the quaint ambience of this place. The waitress spoke English but like most locals of Rome, trying our best to speak their language with a kind "Ciao" is always treated with kind regards. The food at this restaurant was some of the best I've had while in Italy. Complimentary potatoes were so delicious. The pasta with truffles was delicious and definitely homemade fettuccini was used for this dish. I wanted to go again but our time in Italy was filled up with many other great places. read more

Was excited to come here as the reviews looked great. Although the service and ambiance were great, I unfortunately can't say the same with the food. I started off with the caprese which tasted great; however there were a bit too many tomatoes in relation to the cheese. For my main I ordered the Amatriciana, and this was the dish that really disappointed. The presentation was great, but the pasta itself was sub par (not as good to what I've had in Rome). The biggest qualm was with the sauce which was far too salty. I tried to overlook it but it became difficult to eat near the end of my meal. This may have to do with the fact that there was no sort of spice (which I had in all my previous Amatricianas) and found myself relying on the red wine (which was great) to cut through the saltiness of the dish. I personally believe that a little bit of spice to an Amatriciana adds much needed depth to an otherwise heavy dish. As much as I wanted to enjoy this place I'm giving it a 6.8/10. read more

The best carbonara in Rome. I've been 3 times now and a must visit every time I go to Rome. Family owned by the never people. Just love this place. You will not be disappointed read more

Had a lovely lunch here, though a bit slow, particularly when there was hardly anyone else there. Hubs had the special lasagna which was very light. Unlike the American version that is so heavy with super thick noodles, this one was like a thin ribbon building up a lovely book of meat and cheeses. It was baked to perfection on top. I had a pasta with zucchini and tomato, and it was fine but nothing extraordinary. The salad with avocado and Parmesan should have omitted the avocado because it was so I ripe. Crispy avocado, anyone? Presume peeling that unripened avocado is what took almost 1/2 hour to deliver. Staff was very friendly. Conveniently near G-Rough hotel, close to Piazza Navona, but way less touristy. Locals were stopping in there. read more

EST! My partner and I came here for a late night dinner during our trip to Roma. This was probably one of our most memorable dinners. The service was phenomenal. We kicked off the night with some complimentary champagne and away we went! I had a steak (I think I had eaten pasta for lunch so wanted something else lol) which was so tender and cooked perfectly. My partner had a truffle pasta and we split a bottle of red. The whole atmosphere is fancy and fun. Stop by when you're in the area! read more

Phenomenal food, the cooking staff did a great job with all aspects of the meal. Wine was great and reasonably priced, staff was attentive and accommodating. This place is tremendous read more

Stopped in here for macchiato and breakfast. Very friendly staff, the smoothest espresso and delicate and delicious pastries.

We stopped for lunch and tried some pasta, and the petto di vitella and tagliata. The potato fries were good, real potato but kind of too much oil was used to cook them. The veal and my friend's pasta was also a bit greasy and the tagliata was a little tougher than expected. I wouldn't order them again. They played some soothing piano music in the background and with all the wine decor, it felt pretty cozy. We had a latte to finish, which tasted fine. Maybe if you want to try their multitude of wines, it's worth a visit. read more

Made it to our reservation at 2:30pm. This was the only available time 3 weeks prior to my trip with a couple friends. It's a cute place and food was really good and wasn't salty. We are not vegetarians, but ended up ordering all vegetarian food. We started with a salad and had the spinich ricotta ravioli and the tomoato basil fettuccine. The pasta was soft in consistency. They also offer a selection of over 300 different kinds of wine (although not all are on the menu and most are sold by the bottle). I ordered a gewurztraminer and friends ordered wine they also really liked, I have no idea what kind they ordered but I'm sure there's something on the menu for wine lovers out there. My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our food and it was nice to see some fresh greens offered on the menu. I would definitely recommend this place! read more

After a very long and enjoyable tour of the Vatican museum followed by cocktails elsewhere, my friend and I walked by Est Artigiani del Gusto while looking for a different restaurant, and decided to stop in for dinner. The host was very accommodating, despite the fact that we didn't have a reservation. We were offered the choice of a prime table for no more than an hour, or a not-so-prime table for as long as we liked. It had been a very long day, and we wanted to relax and enjoy a leisurely dinner; we opted for the not-so-prime table, and I'm really glad we did! The ambiance is warm and relaxing, the staff is accommodating and kind. Everything in the restaurant is apparently made from scratch and this fact is illustrated by the quality and taste of the food. Add to that the fact that the wine list contains a number of very good, excellently priced bottles, and it's easy to understand why I enjoyed our dinner so much :-) For our entrées, we had the pasta Amartriciana and the pasta carbonara. Both dishes were exceptional! I'm now a total of fan of the manner in which Est Artigiani del Gusto executes their pasta with bacon and tomato sauce. We also decided to split a third entrée - the roast veal; the veal was tendered, perfectly seasoned, and completely delicious! Though I had no expectations whatever when we came here for dinner, I left knowing I had enjoyed one of the best dinners I've had in Rome in recent memory. I highly recommend Est Artigiani del Gusto, and plan to return soon. read more

Great cafe in the side streets of Rome. We went there for breakfast. We ordered the full breakfast with scrambled eggs, bacon etc. Breakfast had was good for Italian version but not quite the same as home. The coffee is as excellent as were the pastries. Very good service, atmosphere and food. Must try! read more

A really impressive wine bar & restaurant that instantly felt like walking into an Italian home. We walked through the doors to be greeted with home cooked cakes cooling in their tins on the side. Menu had lots of choice - we opted for pasta with cheese and pepper & a spinach ravioli - both were cooked perfectly and tasted out of this world! What's special about this restaurant is the wine list - a huge selection and a very knowledgeable sommelier to help you navigate it. Unfortunately our experience was blighted slightly by another couple of guests who were loud and obnoxious and stole the waiters attention as well as interrupting the ambience - however, I still think this restaurant deserves 5 stars and will absolutely be going back on our return to Rome as well as recommending to friends and family. We didn't get to try the starter or dessert menu but they did bring us a pastry with the bill and this was warm from the oven which gives me great faith about the quality of the food. Toilet facilities were clean and provided a selection of hand soaps. Seating was comfy and spread out. Restaurant was easy to find and we'll be making it 'our favourite' from this trip to Rome! read more

Best lasagna of my life. Waitress was very sweet, Chianti was amazing, best caprese salad I've ever had. Going back for breakfast.

Impressive! We went there after lunchtime, so there were few people in the restaurant . I really enjoyed the quietness and the good environment. The servants were very nice and helpful. I highly recommend the fettuccine with pine nuts and basil sauce, incredible flavor and texture. We also ordered a tonnarelli with cheese and pepper, and a crème brûlée. The tonnarelli was basically good but not that impressive. The dessert was not as good as its pastas. All in all, it's still a fabulous restaurant. read more

I passed by this restaurant often, always stopping and mentally commenting on its trendy look. It has good lightning and elegant interiors. The staff is extremely friendly and attentive. Despite being in the afternoon rush, our server spared the time to make our visit special. We had a little wait before our food arrived, as expected, and our server apologized with a little appetizer of prosciutto e melone. Bread is whole wheat, impossible to find anywhere else. We ordered one eggplant parmesan and a fillet of beef with french fries. The fries were delicious (oven baked not fried)! The fillet was cooked well. My eggplant was everything is should be and was topped with a few fresh leaves of basil. The menu has several other items I can't wait to try. I'll definitely be coming here again. Everything about this place was just right. read more

We had a wonderful time at Est. The ambiance was very nice, small dining room with wine bottles all over the walls. Classy, without being formal. The food was very good. Our group throughly enjoyed the appetizers and generally enjoyed the dinner. The deserts were totally out of this world. The service was very good, friendly and engaging at the right times. All in all, a it was a very enjoyable time. The name was lived up to: Est - It is. Artigiani del gusto - Art of Taste. read more
