The best chicken parm penne vodka I had in Rome. The bruschetta al salmone was topped with the freshest smoked salmon I've ever had, and I have bagels and lox for breakfast often. The house wine is good and reasonably priced. Amazing service that's quick, attentive, friendly, and generous. We went two out of the four nights we were in Rome, which is saying something considering the amazing options in the city. We were given free shots, bottles of wine, desserts and dinner items completely taken off our checks. There's both indoor and outdoor seating and the location in piazza del campo has gelato, good bars, and some shopping in the surrounding area. Very friendly with Americans. The owners love to treat tourists. Truly a family atmosphere. I hugged all the owners and their sons on our last night. Simply put, a must have. read more

I've been to "Tony's" restaurant several times over the past couple years (airline employee). Very good food (try the eggplant or chicken Parmesan) and terrific prices. Delicious appetizers are on the table within minutes of being seated. Staff is always friendly and courteous. Tony has his own wine label and treated us like royalty. I will go back again and again. Easy walk over the Ponte Sisto bridge from the piazza Novona area. Highly recommend Tony's! read more

Complete rip off and tourist trap!! They tell you no service fee at the door but then throw in a 10% fee at the end and tell you that's policy, oh and they charge you 2 euros for bread, really!? Let's not forget the horribly slow service, seems like they're more concerned in trying to convince people to come in then actually servicing the guest they have at their tables. I would recommend saying as far away as possible from this place read more

Great service Owner brought extra table for us outside Risotto agli scampi excellent bruschetta al salmonella for 2 euro large delicious and crunchy Wine lots of choices. We got upgrade Will return soon read more

It was a horrible choice!!!! The food is bad but the worst is that they trap you with different prices on the menu and change it on the check. They add to your check the bread and everything they say comes as complementary. When you ask the personal they get very rude and yell at you... please don't be another tourist that feels cheated read more

If Yelp allowed me to give zero stars for this place, I would. In a nutshell, this restaurant served the worst Italian food for dinner. The waiter was immediately off putting by trying to make us order alcoholic drinks. We only wanted water. He asked us twice, which was rude. Then, he didn't write down our entree orders, and proceeded to bring us the food. We ordered the vongole and got some other seafood pasta dish that was bland as hell and costed 1 euro extra. The waiter said it was the same price. What a liar. We ate all the food because it was expensive. But, none of the dishes had any flavor. At the end, the waiter had the nerve to charge us for 2 extra waters (3 euro each). We informed him of his mistake, and all he could say was "Oh". Not even a "Sorry". Safe to say I'm glad we got our 6 euros back. Worst food I've had in Rome. I agree with the other reviewers that said to AVOID this place at all costs!!! It's not worth it! read more

WOW great place. Great friendly service. AND i like that ITALIANS come here. That says a lot. Came here many times during my stay. read more

Hostaria del Moro - Italian Near Me - Rome, RM

I'm not sure where these five-star reviews are coming from, but this was truly one of the worst meals I have ever eaten in my life. We are here on our fifth day in Rome, so by that time we had some experience with different restaurants in various neighborhoods. This food was below fazoli's level. The pasta was over cooked to the point of being mere mush, while the broccoli we ordered was also so overcooked that it was yellow, not green. We also ordered the lamb ribs, which not only had no flavor, but were very inexpertly butchered. One piece I ate was a pure slab of rubbery fat as big as my fist. We left almost 90% of the food untouched. Service was also extremely slow---to be expected of any Italian restaurant, but in this case, just insult on top of injury. Avoid at all costs. read more

The food was great! The Penne alla Vodka was my favorite! Dined here a few times while on my trip. The staff was great. Best customer service I've ever received. Tony himself was very friendly and we received free dessert several times. Will definitely stop by again on my next visit to Rome! read more

I got hit in the head with the large menu sign outside and they said nothing to me. Then forgot to bring us our wine and ignored us after that. Would not recommend! read more

Great food and great service! Make sure you ask for Ani for service and suggestions - we followed all of his and the food was excellent! We'll be back all the ay from San Diego for the bacon wrapped steak. read more

Amazing food, terrible service. It took my friend and I three hours to order, eat and get the bill. The food in this restaurant is Americanized, hence the large portions and plates such as Penne alla Vodka and Chicken Parmesan. However I didn't mind since I had been studying abroad in Italy for three months. I ordered the Penne alla Vodka and it was the best one I have ever had. The food didn't make up for the bad service though. read more

Great vitello alla limone! Good food at great prices and lots of great people watching. Our waiter Genaro always treats us well and sends us complimentary limoncellor or gelato. The lemon veal is the best and we also really like the eggplant parmigiana, the fiori di zucca and a dessert that is 3/4 white stuff on top and 1/4 chocolate on the bottom. We have eaten here about 6 times in our three week stay and highly recommend ot. it's noisy and crowded but gives an authentic experience. read more

OMG.....we have been searching for some good Italian food and have struck out multiple times. This place restored out hopes. The pasta was perfect. And we asked off some spice and it was wonderful. And the streak.....oh my! It was huge and cooked perfectly. Service was great. We also had the three layer chocolate desert. It was soooooo unique and fabulous! Prices were reasonable. If we come back, we will be here again. read more

All in all, this was a pleasant dining experience: great street-side seating in a vibrant atmosphere, great food, and friendly wait staff. What nearly spoiled it was the way they tried to "push us out the door" when our meal was complete. Uncharacteristically for Italy, the waiter brought our check, cleared the table (even removing unfinished water bottles), and reminded us that others were waiting even as we were still finishing our wine! read more

Nice place to stop for drink! Not sure if I would eat here... but we weren't hungry though! I will say that my husband ordered a beer and the beer was so flat. He informed the staff who then tasted it for himself and agreed. In no time they had fixed the issue and my husband was able to enjoy his beer again! We appreciated the service and attention! read more

This is a typical tourist trap. Staff was rude. The food far from being edible, but we should have suspected that since the table next to us returned all the plates untouched. Don't go there, waste of money and time. read more

Walking around the neighborhood one night we plopped down here for some reason mostly because of indecision and hunger. In the end it was a pretty good choice. The wait staff was helpful and nice, and what we had was one of the better meals of the trip. I got a huge plate of seafood pasta for only 10 Euro, which really surprised me. The taste was good and all the clam and mussel shells actually had something inside, which can't be said about other places I ate at. My friend's truffle tortellini (I think it was that) had an awesome flavor too. read more

What can I say..... The reviews before mine about this place are so similar- if you know this place you love it. Picture this- Friday evening in Rome in the Trastevere neighborhood- around 8:15 pm- ish. All cafes/ ristorantes packed with tourists and locals alike (or at least the places that are good ). I am solo tripping and no reservation anywhere- which placed me out of another place close by. I yelped and found this place earlier in the day, but had no clue I would just stumble upon it. As an unsuspecting couple tried to decide upon eating here, Tony pointed at me and said 'you eat?' And I swooped in! I had half bottle of the house white- very nice and a very reasonable price. Was Then served wonderful bread, had insalate, followed by the veal in lemon sauce. Everything so simple and yet so amazing- home run hit! Go there, order anything- I may take friends there tomorrow night and I'll either get the salmon I was eyeing or the oxtail- everything looked amazing. Tony really is such a sweet man- kissing, hugging his regulars- and making the not so regulars feel so at home and taken care of. What more can I say... read more

We decided to explore Trastevere, a "colorful" part of town. We walked and walked and walked. Maybe we didn't have the travel mojo fairy with us right then, but we couldn't find anything that seemed interesting. Eventually, we were exhausted, it was hot, and we were starving. We ate at Hostaria del Moro da Tony where we shared a margherita pizza and grilled zucchini on the side. It seemed reasonably priced, though the pizza wasn't amazing. The zucchini was fine, but nothing special. The waiter was not very friendly and we didn't get an ounce of charm, unlike some other reviewers. Also, he never even brought our change, just assuming it was his to keep. When we asked for it, he was offended and huffy. Maybe it was just our server, but I wouldn't go here again. read more

Pretty hard to beat it for the price. Our food was a bit late but they made up for it with a free tiramisu. The scampi sauce was amazing and their pasta was fresh and delicious. Hard to beat the prices as well! read more

Tony's has to be one of the best places I have eaten in Roma. I went twice - once with my girlfriends, and another with my family. Naturally, as young American girls, we were charmed all the way to dessert by the servers and Tony. At the end of the dinner we received a generous discount, and free dessert! All of the food is marvelous and my favorite has to be the truffle ravioli! I cannot wait to go back. read more

Wow just finding this on Yelp. I was there in 2012. We ate dinner there for 1 night and lunch on our day of departure. Excellent food..Chicken Parm..best calamari I have ever had. Best local wine..bottle with. Tony's picture on it. He is a gracious host. I don't know if he ever goes home. He had even comped us dessert. I would definitely go again on another visit to Rome. read more

Sat down because we were starving. The prices weren't terrible, but the food wasn't that great. We ordered a bottle of wine, a pizza, and a starter, but the entire time we were there they kept pushing us to order more drinks and food. The outside area is nice to sit in but the non stop pestering to order more got pretty annoying. read more

Our daughter's friend lived near here and insisted we dine here on a recent trip to Rome. In a quaint alley full of fun and charm, with excellent fun service and superb food. read more

This place sure is popular. The pizzas look awesome. I didn't try though so I'm not sure if they also taste awesome. What I did try was their beef steak which was over cooked even though we ordered medium rare. It probably was until they put it and served it on that sizzling plate making it overcooked in less than 5 minutes. The clams and mussels, on the other hand, are cooked just right. Coperto I think was 1€ per person. read more

If you're in Roma, come here for sure. Its in Trastevere which is the first great part, on a cute little street. I studied abroad here and we came all the time. They have this amazing deal, which is nice for abroad students where you pay 15 euro a person in a big group and you get the full 5 course experience with a very generous amount of wine. Started with vino de casa, (bianco or rosso) and it just seemed to flow all night. They would bring bruschetta pomodoro and fungi, calamari, fried zucchini with sauce, vodka penne, tortellini ragu, lasagna, chicken parmesan, tira mi su, and limoncello to finish. We would literally sit here for hours and the food just keeps coming. After, wander around Trastevere because it is beautiful. Its a very residential and classy area of Roma where you can really see how Italians live. It is not touristy at all and very charming. read more

Ani was so accommodating and such a great waiter/host! The student discount was great as we got an appetizer, 2 types of pasta, eggplant parmigiana, and UNLIMITED wine. Ani was very accommodating to me being a vegetarian. Would definitely recommend this restaurant as the food and service were great! read more

Hostaria del Moro da Tony was the best place we ate at on our trip to Rome. The food was amazing, the drinks were great, and the service was beyond exceptional even though the restaurant was overfull and having to turn additional customers away. We had arrived 5 min before what looked like 5 tour groups with at least 15 people in each group arrived. We had not even placed an order at this time. We still received exceptional service! This is a must visit place in Rome! read more

This place is fabulous!! Just a fun and happy atmosphere with delicious and consistent food at good prices!! Everything we had here was very good and the waiters are friendly and cheerful. Family friendly but also a great place for a relaxing date, I think we had the best Caprese Salad and bruschetta here out of all the places we went to in Italy. Highly recommended...and I'm a pretty picky foodie. Two appies, bottle of wine, three delicious entrees and Tiramisu for 59 Euros?? Yes, please!! read more

We did not eat here so I do not know whether or not tasty here, but the place is more expensive than listed on this app so we did not eat.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Food is outstanding, even compared to the high caliber of great food in the neighborhood and all of Rome. Great portions, flavors, presentation, variety. The service is also excellent. Anis made us all feel very welcomed and appreciated. Great atmosphere. We ate there three times our visit to Rome. Cannot recommend highly enough!! read more

The food was not good. Our waiter had no patience with a question concerning a dish, left us and had a different waiter come take our order. My lasagna was watery and my husband ordered a salmon bruschetta and it had a fly on it. My husband had to ask 4 times for butter. They are not attentive at all. The food was not good for our taste. read more

I'd say the people who complain about "huffy" waiters, or waiters with attitude clearly are new to Italy or were vacationing. The culture here is different, but maybe I'm used to it considering I live in Trastevere and go to Ton'ys quite often. I've never experienced the waiter to be exceptionally rude- it is one of the few restaurants that is open in the area before 7:30 and also is one of the few that lets you take your food and wine to go. They also always take off the price for water and bread, which is also rare to find in Rome. The food is good and the prices are also good. I recommend Tony's for a bite to eat. read more

Tony's has the best chicken parm and penne Allah vodka I have had in Rome. The owner is a great guy who enjoys to get to know his customers. It the best place to get great food and wine for a very cheap price. read more

We had a great time here! The eggplant parmesan and fettuccine al Pesto were out of this world. And, to top it off, the friendly Bangladesh server gave us Tiramisu on the house. Highly recommended for vegetarian options! read more

Hostaria del Moro al Toni was recommended to us and we will definitely recommend it to others! The service was excellent, the location perfect, crowded with good reason, but we were sat immediately, despite being early for our reservation. The house white wine was easy to drink and the food (appetizer of fried calamari, sides of roasted peppers and fettuccini with pesto sauce, entrees including veal scalloping with mushrooms, ravioli with truffles, chicken parmigiana and linguini with clams all beyond delicious. We ordered too much but had to try everything, and we're not even scoffed at when we asked for boxes to take the remainders back with us! Despite being full, we could not refuse when our server brought us plates of fresh pineapple and lemon sorbet to complement the meal. Toni watched over it all and visited near the end of the meal, he is definitely a great host, and has an excellent establishment. Thumbs up on all counts! read more

Horrible Restaurant never eat there, the "Pasta a la Vodka" I ordered was bland and chewy, my mom ordered a bottle a wine and only received a glass yet was charged for the whole bottle. After asking for the daily special had we asked the price and were told it was around 27 Euros but got charged for 60 Euros. The service was slow and when you ask them question they get mad and start yelling at you. We got charged extra for cold, hard bread we didn't even eat. I will never eat there again!! read more

Tony, you are the best food and service in the area. Being in the food and beverage business for 20 years here in the USA, I think I qualify to say---you, your staff and the food on a scale of 1 to 10----a 10+. And thank you for treating us like family. Jim and Diane, Florida USA read more
