Bravo! A must! After two visits to Michelin star restaurants in Rome, Grazia & Graziella blew doors on them, despite not having a star herself. I can say without a doubt Grazia & Graziella deserve a Michelin star far more than the actual Michelin star restaurants I've been to in Rome. Make sure to get the focaccia! Absolutely splendid. The servers are a league of their own, the best we've had in our trip so far. And the restaurant itself is so quaint and beautiful, tucked away in a corner of Rome. Bravo bravo bravo! A must try! read more

Worth the short trip outside of the main part of Rome. Ever turning we had was absolutely amazing!

Excellent food, service, ambiance. Does not get more romantic old charm Service was impeccable read more

Still thinking about the tiramisu from here! We stopped in for a late dinner and were shocked at how reasonably priced everything was and how delicious! You can't go wrong with anything you order. So glad it was near our apartment and conveniently located. It's in a very lively neighborhood and had many other great little restaurants nearby! read more

If you're looking for nightlife, then the trastevere neighborhood is definitely the neighborhood for you. Friday night. This neighborhood was so jumpin, it made Vatican City look downright asleep. Ever been to North Beach for dinner during opening day of fleet week? That's what this scene reminded me of. No sailors, but the same vibe. And if you do find yourself in this neighborhood, you gotta come here. Grazia & Graziella is an institution. A little bit rustic, a lot of Italian. Service with a smile, despite being crazy busy. I just knew immediately that my dream of eating pasta in Italy at an authentic & neighborhood restaurant had to become a reality here. They sat us immediately, but it was late. 10-ish. Dinner in Rome at 10...romantic right? SO romantic! Sitting outside, in candlelight, in a charming restaurant...it's a win, win, win. It really doesn't matter if the food is less than mind-blowing. And it was. I thought I'd be especially "Roman" & order carbonara, since carbonara hails from Rome. It definitely hit the spot, & along with the fried calamari for an appetizer, I had no complaints. It's made w rigatoni pasta here, though, & I'm used to having it made w linguini pasta, but... WHEN IN ROME... Sorry. Had to. A must stop in this neighborhood. 3 & 1/2 stars. read more

This place was not bad. There were tons of other places around, but this has good Yelp reviews and we didn't have WiFi to check for other places. They have standard tourist fare and it gave me a chance to try lasagna for the first time in Italy. I also had Moscato, which was delicious!! My husband and our aunt got a ravioli pasta dish which was fine and we got a fried artichoke (which may have been frozen as the season for them just passed). We were seated inside, which we thought we'd prefer over the bugs outside, but it ended up being super loud (mainly one waitress) even though we were the only customers inside. Interior had an interesting feel. There was a bar and random old items like a bike and funky pieces of art around. The place was fine. Nothing bad to say. Wouldn't mind coming back, but I wouldn't need to rush back. Staff was nice and we received limoncello at the end with these biscuits that I really enjoyed - like I ate 30 of them lol read more

This was another great meal in Rome. It was a simple walk from our apartment in Trastevere and along the way you'll see many other restaurants but keep walking. It was a kinda rainy night but we sat outside anyway as it was warm. Welcoming service but either make reservations or get there before 7:00. It gets really, really busy starting then. There were 4 of us and they were very accommodating to our 8year old granddaughter. Nicola and Daniele were wonderful and guided us through our meal. House made pizza with sausage, some of the best raviolis I've ever had in a sage butter sauce, house made pasta with red sauce no meat for our vegetarian guest and focaccia! Good wine list as well. Reasonable prices for both food and wine. This might appear as a tourist place at first, but it isn't . Even though they were playing American music in the background. 75% of the folks dining were Italians. Authentic Italian-Roman cuisine with fine service. By far the best pizza and service here in Rome. Thanks again to Nicola and Daniele for taking care of our group and our princess! read more

I think it's safe to say this was my favorite dinner on this trip so far. It was a place I had bookmarked a while back and I'm so glad I did. Our hotel is in the Trastevere area which this restaurant is located - an area filled with great restaurants and bars. Walking up to the restaurant, the host was so friendly and offered us a glass of prosecco. I was anticipating a long wait for a table but we haven't experienced that anywhere. Probably because this trip was not during peak season for tourists in Rome. Anyway, we got a table inside but then it was a bit warm for us so we moved to table outside. We both ordered some Aperol Spritz and they were definitely what I needed after a long day of doing touristy things - like pretending to be a gladiator at the Colosseum and roaming around the Roman Forum. Not sure why there were 2 full-sized straws in the drink but I guess it helped it go down faster. We started our meal with caprese and the presentation was executed well as you can see in my photo. For our main courses, I went with the Carbonara and Brian went with the Amatriciana. Mine was delicious! Brian's was really good too but I definitely liked mine more. Of course, I had to order tiramisu. It was really yummy but not what I had expected. Instead of ladyfingers, some sort of crackers were used. It was still really good and we ate it all. Okay, we didn't eat it all - I did. Service was amazing. Brian didn't eat much of his plate and we had 3 people stop and ask if he was alright and if he didn't like his meal. He just didn't have much of an appetite after a few hours of knocking out emails and calls for work. They offered to get him something else and the host gave us some lollipops to cheer him up. They were so concerned so we just kept reassuring them that it wasn't them or the food and it was just Brian. At the end of the meal, they gave us shots of a digestif. I'm not a fan of black licorice so I gave my shot to my future hubby. Overall, it's a place I definitely recommend! read more

If you want to try Tonarello, you oughta try this one because it is owned by the same owners - Will not disappoint! So glad we were able to try this place out for dinner on one of our nights in Rome. We were lucky that we stayed in the Romo Forno neighborhood which is a walking distance away to Trastevere where this restaurant is located. Our hotel staff recommend we try Tonarello which is another restaurant in Trastevere that is located literally in front of Grazie Graziela, but Tonarello always has such a long wait line. GG does too and because of that, we tried to eat at both restaurants for two nights, and were finally able to get a table at GG on a late Sunday night at 10:30 PM. I loved our food! My husband got the lasagna and I got the sliced beef dish with potatoes.. It was a nice change up after having had pasta for days. The lasagna was amazing but the highlight of our meal has got to be the dessert, which was tiramisu. It was soft, fluffy and flavorful. So good! read more

Next time I'm in Rome I will stay in this neighborhood: Trastevere. This is where the locals are at, the food, the drinks, the maze-like neighborhood where getting lost is not a bad thing. Back to the review of this restaurant, this is the real deal. You will notice the difference between here and the restaurants in the touristy section. I highly recommend the Saltimbocca which I was told translates to: jumps in your mouth. After glancing at this dish full of veal, bacon, and mashed potatoes/gravy extravaganza isn't hard to see why the name. We also had the gnocchi w/ clams which were very rich in flavor and I almost forgot that we started this dinner with crunchy fried Roman artichoke. The line might be lengthy but it's worth the wait, especially when, on occasion you are given small cups of wine while you wait in line (helped quench the thirst and calm the nerves). read more

A very nice restaurant in Trastevere. Had a really great time going there for some Tira Misu in the evenings (B)

First day getting into Rome and immediately looked for a place with good reviews on Yelp- this was the first one I saw with a good amount of reviews. Note, the street close to the resteraunt is a little too narrow for cars so usually your taxi driver will have you walk the short 1 to 2 minute walk to the resteraunt. There was a line, but we were willing to wait. As we waited one of the resteraunt staff came by offering people free mini glasses of Prosecco (we of course said yes!) and surprisingly the line moved pretty quickly. The severs were friendly and the food was fast. We planned on taking some of the pasta home but that did not happen- it was that good! I highly recommend this as a must go to restaurant. We will absolutely be coming here at least one more time before we head home! read more

Let's me start off by saying that the staff here is wonderful. Whoever, owns this restaurant should applaud his staff for the excellent hospitality they give. The staff was warm, inviting, and genuinely happy to see us from start to finish. Grazia e Graziella is located right across from Tonnarello. Similar setup with indoor and outdoor seating. As always for the Trastevere area, I recommend arriving for lunch early around 12-1230pm. For food we went with the Bruschetas for the appetizer, Pasta Amatriciana, and Pasta Carbonara. Overall the food was good, however the pasta here was Rigatoni not spaghetti. I think that if the pasta was Spaghetti or handmade noodles, it would've been much better. The sauces was however well balanced and not overpowering. read more

One of the favorites at Trastevere. This is a very cool place where food, service, drinks, and even dessert are mind-blowing. Please don't leave this place without ordering a tiramisu. The dress code is casual and as a tip, be patient since they are very popular and there will be a waiting list but it totally worth it. read more

This was honestly the best restaurant i visited during my time in Rome. The locations couldn't be more perfect. It was located in Trastevere (a cute little hipster town in Rome) with sitting outside and inside. The staff was super sweet and as soon as we arrived they sat us right away-outside of course because that was our preference. For starter we asked for bread and let me tell you it was the best bread i ever had in my entire life (not even kidding), we had to order 2 orders of bread because it was just that delicious and warm. The pastas we ordered were to die for. I am not kidding when i say this was honestly the best food i had in my time in Rome. To top it off everything was super cheap. Rome can be super expensive compare to other cities in Italy. However, the prices here were so reasonable. If you are looking for a great place to eat i recommend this 100%. If i find myself back in Rome you best believe I'll come here again. read more

We ordered French fries with pepper and cheese as appetizer, 2 glasses of red wine, margarita pizza, salami pizza, and salad. For a family of three, we ordered way too much food as the portions are pretty big. We were extremely hungry and we even took a taxi ride to eat here based on the Yelp review. However, we were not really impressed. It's location is pretty good but none of the food we ordered was great. They were just okay. Maybe we ordered wrong things on the menu, I'm not sure. read more

Grazia & Graziella was an excellent option on a busy evening in the winter time. When every other restaurant in this lively neighborhood had a line out the door, so did G & G. They did however have their patio open which we were sat at right away. Between the blazing heaters, and the complimentary hot wine they served, the cold weather was a non issue. The food was very solid. We did a lasagna and the caprisiosa pizza both of which were nice sized portions and pretty affordable at under 10 Euro for each. If we hadn't eaten all the fried calamari as an appetizer, we probably would have finished everything, but they were really nice about wrapping it up for us anyways. There's a lot of great options in the Trestevere neighborhood, but I definitely wouldn't be disappointed if I ended up here again at some point in the future. read more

Looked online for reviews about a place to eat in Trastevere. The area was recommended by our hotel staff on the other side of the Tiber. Great Atmosphere on a quiet corner, this restaurant is loud both inside and out. The food was good and had plenty of options to choose from. Portion sizes were good. The wine selection was on the small side, but had a good choice of regional wines to choose from. The Focaccia was awesome, Diavola Pizza great and the Tiramisu fantastic. The only downside was the constant shifting of the wait-staff. Very little continuity. read more

We just got in from the US and we're tired and hungry. We came here as a recommendation. We met with friends who have been touring Italy. The place has an outside dining, as it should be, as the inside was also packed. There is a lower level for dining which is perfect for big groups as it gives you a little bit of privacy. The ambience can be romantic, if not packed. We ordered salmon salad, amatriciana and grilled lamb (for my dad who's not into pizza and pasta) for sharing. They didn't mind that they had to serve the food family style. They even offered us extra plates. The food was generous and tasty. My dad even enjoyed the pasta. The staff were attentive and courteous. Special mention are Myrko and Marylou who gave us service with a smile! Definitely a favorite when in Rome! read more

First of all, the location is very charming. Grab a table outside, order pizza and vino, sit back and relax. Their pizza was our favorite from all of of the pizza we had in Rome. We liked it so much, we went back a second time because my husband needed to have that pizza again. Tip: go for lunch or early dinner. It gets very busy after 7pm so you will have to wait in line for a table. read more

We stopped by here due to the location in the gorgeous neighborhood of Trastevere and the food appeared appealing. While we waited for a table even at 9 pm at night they served us some prosecco while waiting. We were only planning for "a late snack" after supper. After we were seated the service however was down hill and we had to flag her down for everything I didn't expect such a tourist place to be authentic and it wasn't but it still was pretty good. Roman style thin pizza from a brick oven was very well done with fresh ingredients. Lasagna was made with fresh pasta and had tasty bolognese sauce. We waited over 15 mins for a check and I went to the counter to pay. They were at least pleasant about it . This is still a good plan for drinks and a light meal , I would not go all out here for a full dinner read more

I really enjoyed the ambiance of this charming restaurant in the neighborhood of Trastavere. It is run by two very passionate ladies who are friendly and welcoming. It is a bit touristy but that sure doesn't take away from the good, quality food and service. Their cabonara was good but the favorite was the cacio e pepe. It was my favorite cacio e pepe that I ate in Rome. Pasta was cooked perfectly al dente and I found myself in awe with how this simple dish can taste so amazing. It was definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Rome and I do recommend going for their cacio e pepe! read more

We recently found ourselves looking for dinner in the Trastevere area of Rome and Yelp provided the perfect recommendation in Grazia & Graziella - maybe one of the highlights of our trip! It was a warm Saturday night so there was a long line outside. Servers handed out a small glass of prosecco to sip on while waiting. Of course if you wanted to eat right away you could go inside as it was the patio that was busy. Service was fantastic (helped of course that their English was good). I had the ravioli ricotta. It tasted delicious with homemade noodles. My wife had the caprese salad which she said was good as well (although a bit busy with some lettuce around it). Dessert was tiramisu which was maybe the best I've had in Rome to date. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for an excellent casual dinner! read more

On the final night during a business trip to Rome I was looking for some late night Friday eats and people watching. I was originally afraid that it would be touristy but even at 1am it was packed with locals so I decided to give it a try. The seating is a little tight but people were acomodating and no one seemed to mind my bad Italian as I said "Sucasmi!" and squeezed by. The service is friendly and the food exceeded my expectations. They have a menu in English if you're not familiar with the language (like me!). I got the "Thre Bruschettas" which were topped with: tomatoes, parma ham and buffalo mozarella, and gorgonzola and walnuts. The bread was fresh, flavorful and toasted with a nice, crunchy crust. In the center there were some olives and garnishing cabbage. For my main course I had the Ravioli Ricotta (with butter and sage) with a touch of oil sprinkled on top. Deeeeeeelicious! The service pace was leisurely and I had enough time to enjoy two Peroni Gran Rizervas along the way. Grand total was only $32 USD! During all of this there were very stylish people all around enjoying the warm evening. It all felt very european and relaxed, and I had a thoroughly memorable time. A walk home along the beautiful streets of Trastevere sealed the deal. I'm in love with Italy! read more

Great service, food was ok I stopped by this place on my last afternoon in Rome, forgoing my usual rule to not eat in main tourist areas, because I wanted a little people watching. I started with the fried artichoke which was quite good and then had the carbonara. I've had way better. It was too salty and the pasta was drenched in sauce. A little less would have been better. The tiramisu was interesting. A deconstructed version of the traditional served in a small coffee cup with the cookie in the center surrounded by the cream which tasted more custard like than light. The one who saved my experience was Giuseppe. He was attentive and made sure I had everything I needed. read more

Very touristy but actually quite good! Crispy Roman artichoke 5.5€- 1st time and I liked it! Reminded me of roasted Brussels sprouts. It was a tad oily on the bottom though. Margherita pizza 8.5€- crust was perfectly crispy. Sauce good, cheese good, pizza good! Cacio e Pepe pasta (cheese & pepper) 9€- really good, Al dente and creamy. 2€ for water Service wasn't that friendly, but at least it was very fast! Got there at 5pm on a Wed and there were only a couple tables still available outside. read more

This place had good food, but nothing that wowed me. The service was below average too. You can see the pictures of both my entree and dessert. The gnocchi had great taste due to the tomatoes and oysters, but the actually gnocchi itself was only stuffed with the potato filling and was kind of bland. The Tiramisu was great, but you can't go wrong with dessert. If your in the area I would go to this place. read more

Grazia and Graziella has the best pasta you will find in a Rome. Pasta carbonara was incredible. Rich, fresh bacon, huge portion and super filling. The cheese spinach ravioli with sage was one of my favorite Italian meals of the week. This was a huge dish even by American standards. It was cheap too. €9-€9.50 for pastas and pizzas. Get there early and expect to wait in line. Be aware that there are separate lines one for parties of one or 2 persons and the other one for larger parties. Lines move quickly and the place is deceiving in size. There are lots of small room along with upstairs, downstairs and patio. This is a great place in Trestavere. Love it!! read more

Enjoyed a salad and carbonara. Waited in line for about 20 minutes to get a seat at opening. They seat tables not by available tables, but in order to balance the workload for the kitchen and wait staff, so you may wait 30 minutes and walk in to find lots of empty seats. The service is very well trained and friendly. They all seem very happy! We sat in the basement, which was a bit warm. Overall a positive dining experience, but I won't seek it out for a return meal. read more

Fun if crowded and touristy place in the heart of Trastevere. Help staff are very friendly and our waiter mugged for a picture for us. Menu is not large but typical Roman / Italian cusine was quite good. We ate here twice, for dinner and for lunch. If you are tired of pasta and want a lighter lunch, try the salad with smoked salmon - there was a lot of salmon and the combination with the grana was delicious. The artichoke a la giudea (listed as a Roman artichoke) is also excellent here. Veal portion was large, though it was not so special. Very good saltimbocca. Note that they do not have different lunch and dinner menus. Menu is formatted like an American or Canadian gastropub might do it. read more

This place has a pretty great atmosphere and ambience, but it's really Americanized. I can see how that may be appealing for some, but if I wanted Olive Garden style food I would've stayed in the states. They gave us suckers with our bill which was cute. The ravioli was mediocre and the salad my boyfriend got was not well seasoned. Try Tonnarello next door instead! read more

My partner and I were lucky to get a spot at this gem after 12:00 a.m. because the server, Walter, was kind enough to let us sit down even after they were wrapping things up in the kitchen. We were starving and normally wouldn't even ask to sit at a place that was shutting down food. After arriving in the neighborhood around 10:30 p.m., I can't tell you how nice it was to sit down and finally eat after a hot shower and 16 hours worth of travel. Walter recommended the carbonara and we split a bottle of merlot and we had the foccacia as well, best 32ish dollars that I have ever spent! Walter was super friendly, patient, and funny! He brought us some limoncello to try too, which we greatly appreciated! Don't pass up this place if you're in the area. It's well worth a visit. read more

If you're looking for delicious Italian food that would impressive locals... this the last place you should eat.

In fact, there's a delicious place that shares the courtyard in front. read more

A hotspot for tourists- and for good reason. Grazia & Graziella has a great patio atmosphere, decent food, and exceptional service! The hostess outside is so friendly, and offers samples of prosecco and bruschetta while you wait for a table. Everyone working there had a smile and was always willing to help and answer your questions. For appetizers, we ordered the fried artichoke, calamari, and caprese with buffalo mozzarella. The artichoke and calamari were pretty standard, but the caprese was one of the best I've had!! The buffalo mozzarella was so soft and you could literally squeeze the milk out of it. For main course, we tried the veal, pasta with clams, and pizza with sausage, potatoes and rosemary. The veal and pasta were okay but nothing to write home about. The pizza was really good, especially if you love rosemary like I do! Definitely save room for dessert. The tiramisu is one of their most popular items, and one of the best I've tried. Recommend if you are looking for a fun dinner in the Trastevere! read more

Ok ok. This was probably the best meal we had in our 4 nights in Rome. Free house wine when you walk up. Food was good and service was excellent. That being said, maybe I'm not use to real "Italian" food. Most of the flavors seem very simplified and mono-toned. I still think the commercialized Maggiano's in the US, tastes better. Pasta was good. Fried Calamari was excellent and Tiramisu was the best I've ever had. So at least check it out and see for yourself if you're in Rome. read more
