We spent 3 days in Rome and had dinner here twice. The food is amazing. We had the Carbonara, lasagna and Amatriciana. Luigi makes you feel like you are home. The ambiance is true Italy. If it was in Boston I would be there once a week. read more

Beware***** All I can say is that I am completely blown away by the way this restaurant and its' waitresses made us feel. I have been to Rome many times and I have NEVER felt so unwelcomed and discriminated against before this experience. I have traveled the world as I am an airline employee and I have never written a review like this but I warn you if want to eat here PLEASE reconsider. I had been looking forward to eating at this restaurant because of it's reviews. We waited in line for 45 min and they took every other party that came after us regardless if they had a reservation or not and when I approached them they said everyone else had a reservation. When the people behind us pointed out they didn't have a reservation and that we were first, the waitresses pushed us out and told us if we didn't like it to leave. Therefore, we left and the people that were waiting behind us left as well as they saw how we were treated. La Botticela were completely unapologetic for their rudeness and the discomfort they caused us in front of a restaurant full of people. So please I implore you to reconsider eating at this restaurant. read more

My favorite restaurant in Italy! We came back twice. Come right before they open and they'll still seat you. The strawberry tiramisu was to die for! Great wine pairings and really large portions--enough for two people to share one dish. I also really loved the aperitif--the cheese was really tasty. read more

This was the last restaurant I went to in Rome before going back home. There is nothing like sitting in a quiet side ally for dinner, there is something so peaceful about it. The staff was awesome. Super friendly and made you feel like family. You can tell the people who worked there were either all family or have worked there for a long time. The pasta? FRESH and home made! Like. What else could you ask for? Oh and for dessert? Strawberry tiramisu!! Probably the best dessert I've ever ever had. Please please visit if you're in Rome. You definitely won't regret it. read more

A wonderful family run restaurant by two sisters (who have amazing sibling chemistry. The food takes you straight to grandma's kitchen. The servings are big, but take your time and make it to the secondi and the dessert. It will be worth it. read more

If you find yourself in the Trastevere area of Rome...this is the place to go! Excellent food and quality service nestled in a quaint little space. We were lucky enough to sit next to some gentleman on vacation from Cali that happened to be alumni of my husbands school. Such a small world but a great time. The lasagna and ravioli...neither on the main menu...were AMAZING trust me just order them! The house wine was very good and the strawberry tiramisu?! Wow. When you arrive prepare to wait a few mins. The inside is very small but stays packed. Luckily it was a rainy evening so there wasn't a line. Waited maybe 10mins. The food and the service make up for any wait. Great servers, only 2, and the chef Giulia will come and greet you...and make sure you finish your plate ha! So eat up! I read a review that mentioned despite their rule of only trying a place once while traveling they broke it for this place...we plan to do the same and eat there again on our final evening in Rome. I have to try the gnocchi :-) read more

This was our very first dinner in Rome so we had nothing to compare it to at the time and I think that may have been a good thing. We showed up reservation-less around 9 PM and they were able to make room for us within a few minutes. Inside, it seemed like all Americans who had obviously gone in for an early dinner and it was a bit too quiet in there so I was worried. Once we sat down, it did seem to be a lot of English speakers in there but the experience was still mostly good. We started with the caprese salad and though we weren't wowed by the tomatoes, the mozzarella was AMAZING! I had the spaghetti alla carbonara and there was no shortage of bacon! It was really delicious but the portion was huge. My husband had the gorgonzola gnocchi and liked it as well. We were stuffed and had to skip dessert. Overall, the service was great and the food was good, but it does feel just a bit tourist-driven in here. read more

This place is a little hard to find, off of the beaten path but that doesn't stop people from coming here! Friends of ours ate here a few years ago and insisted we try it. This place is very popular (with what seemed like all tourists) so if you do not book ahead be prepared to wait. The portions are VERY large; keep that in mind while ordering. We ordered the meat and cheese platter, Bucatini Alla Amarticiana, Chicken and Oxtail. The platter and the pasta was more than enough to fill us up, and I preferred those to the meats. The service was very nice and attentive. They noticed my husband splatted some sauce on his shirt and brought him a bib :) hehe. read more

We never go to the same place twice when we travel & we broke that rule for La Botticella. We ate there last night starting with the fried artichokes (superb) and our dinners of homemade ravioli with mushrooms & truffles and fresh pesto pasta were wonderfully prepared. We saw the spaghetti with mussels & clams come to the next table & neither of us could stop thinking about it the following day. The restaurant was supposed to be closed on Wednesday but we walked by on our way to another spot, the owner was outside & invited us back in! We ordered the stuffed zucchini flowers with mozzarella & anchovies and of course we both got the spaghetti with mussels and clams. The flavors in that dish blew us away - big tasty roasted garlic cloves dotted the dish and the flavors were so bold and fresh. The owner is incredibly charming and the service could not have been better, so attentive and polite. The house wines were a fabulous value and probably the best we'd had in any restaurant. This is why we wanted to go back! read more

How do you describe or rate a restaurant in Rome that you wanted to go back to after your first visit. We went back-to-back nights cause we were craving the seafood pasta dish the people at the next table got. And it was awesome. Fresh noodles, tasty sauce, lots of clams and mussels... it was a huge serving and we both cleaned our plates! My first night I got the pasta with pesto and it was amazing with lots of pine nuts and everything you'd want in a good pesto dish. My wife got the ravioli with truffles and porcini mushrooms. Both winners. A glass of house wine was really a carafe so it was 1 1/2 glasses. Love that. Service was very attentive, the chef/owner greeted us both nights and was very helpful explaining specials. It's not "fine" dining but it was really fine for us. I'd go back next time I'm in Rome. read more

This was hands down the best meal my husband and I had in Rome. It was our last meal before we left, such a great way to go! Upon arrival the restaurant was PACKED. they ended up squeezing in a small table next to a party and right up against the front door. I was actually locked in and couldn't get up from the table until the very end of our meal. The service was great! we ordered a bottle of white wine. I got the mushroom ravioli and my husband ordered the carbonara. GET THE MUSHROOM RAVIOLI! it's off menu and with truffle oil. We ended our meal with a strawberry tiramisu. AMAZING! We had mediocre food during our stay in Rome, but so glad we found this restaurant and ended our trip with a good and memorable meal! read more

Found this place via Yelp on 11/3/17 whilst in Rome. Besides the fantastic reviews, the sound of homemade Strawberry Tiramisu got my attention. It was a little out of the way from where we were but decided it was worth discovering. We made a reservation for 7pm, this place is down several dark narrow and cobbly alleyways. As soon as we arrived, we were seated at the 2nd table to the right when you enter. The place is pretty cramped so I suggest you pee or wash your hands before sitting lol. We asked the owner (whom at first seemed friendly) what they recommended and of course the response is "all my food is good"....very helpful. So we ordered: Fried artichoke - 7/10 Chicken leg - 8/10 Spaghetti al pomodoro (Tomato and Basil) - 7/10 Spaghetti aglio olio (Garlic and Olive Oil) - 8/10 Strawberry Tiramisu - 6/10 When we were done we had to ask for the check 3 times (in 5-7min intervals), they just kept telling us to wait. Never seen any restaurant take that long to bring the bill, especially when they have people waiting for tables, you'd think they be glad we were ready to give the table up to the next customer. Overall good but I don't think I'll be back. read more

Went here because of the high reviews. Owner lady has 1 waiter for entire restaurant! Poor kid. She helps out, but definitely needs a few more people to handle the large amount of customers. Food was just ok. Not bad, but not great like I was expecting from the high reviews. Service was slow and you have to ask several times for anything. I asked the lady for the check and she was mad at me. You don't want my money? I should have just dined and dash with that kind of attitude. I'm asking you for the bill so I can pay you and leave... not for extra sauce or free water. read more

A friend on IG sent me a DM and told me to try this spot, it's a local favorite she said! So 30 min later were walking down the most romantic street at 10:30pm.... its such a perfect sitting, the ambiance with the live jazz music down the street makes this so romantic it's almost something like a movie. That's all before you even eat the food, when I think Italian food this is what I'm thinking of! The penne arrabiatta with a touch of spice was 5 stars plus!!!! My wife had the veal and said it was delicious was well. Highly recommend this spot if you're in Rome! read more

My family and I tried this place because of the great reviews on this site. We weren't disappointed. It is a tiny restaurant, seating approximately 30 to 40 guests with barely enough room to get to the tables. It makes for a boisterous but entertaining atmosphere. There were all Americans in the restaurant at the time that we visited. The place is run by two sisters and, although harried, they do a fantastic job. I had the lasagna and it was fantastic. We also tried the truffle and ricotta ravioli. Also very tasty. The chicken cacciatore and lamb were good as well. Finally, the strawberry tiramisu topped it off. Highly recommended! read more

This is a great little restaurant for dinner in the Trastevere. We ordered: * Paccheri Pasta with Rabbit in Walnut Sauce * Truffle Ravioli in Porcini Cream and Parmesan * Grilled Lamb Chops * Strawberry Tiramisu Everything was delicious, but I definitely think the pastas are much better than the meats. The lamb chops were tender and do not have the strong "lamb-y" taste, but I feel like they were not too special. The pastas here are very unique. The portions are generous, which reflects the style of the owners. When we left, she even gave us a bottle of their house wine! read more

We ate here twice during our stay in Rome. We came the first time based off the reviews we read and were not disappointed! I had lasagna that was a special of the day. Very yummy. One of the stand outs of the meal was the fried artichoke. The atmosphere is great, like being in a welcoming person's home. Giulia, the owner, makes you feel like family. She remembered us from our first time and gave us a little gift at our second meal, very thoughtful and sweet. A local musician Marco will pop in and play guitar and sing while you eat, we really enjoyed that. The food is great quality with delicious flavors, the staff is fantastic and very welcoming. The location is very convenient and yet tucked away from the craziness of Trastevere. Definitely one of the top meals we had in Rome! read more

If you come to Rome and don't have at least one meal here in Trastevere you are missing out major. Even after leaving Rome and visiting three other cities in Italy, all we kept talking about was how this was our favorite meal in all of Italy. Make a reservation, take a cab to Trastevere, enjoy walking around this little town and eating at this restaurant, order anything off the menu (and leave room for dessert!) and you won't regret it. read more

Honestly I would pass! While in Rome we read all the great reviews and thought we would try it. The 2 older ladies that run the place are not very pleasant. Everything seems to be an inconvenience, but we are visiting their country so ok. The food, no, average at best AND EXPENSIVE compared to so many other meals we had in Rome. Family of Five, two of us didnt finish our meals. We spent about 120 Euros, most of our great meals were in the 60-70 Euros just for reference. read more

Believe the hype! This place is fantastic! Consistently positive reviews so we gave it a try. Did NOT disappoint. We waited 20-30min to be seated at 8:45 on a Tuesday with no reservation. Worth it! Service was very fast. Bruschetta was made the most flavorful tomato's and freshest bread. Fried artichoke was fantastic flavor! I had the ravioli on special. Maybe the best food we've ever eaten and the gnocchi is a close second. We ate every bite and wiped the sauce with our bread. We drank a liter of white wine and cannoli for dessert. it was still only 60€! Best meal in Rome no doubt! Highly recommend! read more

This was the perfect way to round out our trip to Rome! It's a little hidden gem in Trastevere that we went on quite the walk to get to. 100% worth it, however. The house white wine: excellent! The bruschetta: fresh tomatoes, flavorful herbs, and perfectly toasted bread. My husband got the spaghetti alla carbonara and I got the spaghetti with olive oil, roasted garlic, and peppers. My husband never eats spaghetti alla carbonara at home but he practically licked the bowl here! All the flavors came together beautifully and it was creamy without being all cheese. My dish was just spectacular and what I needed at the moment, light, wonderfully spicy and garlicky, but never overwhelming. Service was attentive but not overbearing. This is a fabulous place if you are in Trastevere (and for good food and great atmosphere you should come to Trastevere). We're still talking about this meal. read more

While wading through a sea of mediocrity we finally found the island we were searching for. First off, make a reservation. They don't book out too far in advance, but the last thing you want to do is get here and be turned away (we were on our first attempt). Second, the staff is warm and welcoming. They were polite, spoke fluent English and were quite punctual. Third, the food... the reason why we came in. Honestly, the best dinner we had while in Rome. The vegetables were fresh, the meat was cooked to perfection and the desert was delectable. My Penne Arrabiata was great. The pasta was al dente and the sauce had the right amount of heat. On to the lamb chops that were simply amazing . Then finally on to desert.. all of which is made in house. We split a Strawberry Tiramisu that was decadent. TL:DR Do it, you love it. read more

This place truly was a hidden gem and definitely lived up to all the hype. From the second my mother and I walked in the door, we were catered to and treated with the utmost kindness. The owner and staff removed and hung out coats when we arrived and assisted us in putting them on when we left. Per the owner's suggestion, we ordered the soft cheese, tomato, and basil plate as an appetizer. It was amazing, and the portion size definitely made it a shareable plate. For my main entree, I ordered the spaghetti carbonara with prosciutto and my mother ordered the ravioli. The spaghetti was flavorful and was the best I've ever eaten in my life. My mother doesn't typically like raviola but ordered it after I pressured her to try something new. She thought it was delicious and absolutely loved the sweet sauce that it had. The house red wine and prosecco did not disappoint. The dessert- strawberry tiramisu was to die for. The owner even threw in two shots of limoncello to accompany our meal. This is a must for anyone visiting Rome. read more

For our first dinner on this return trip to Rome, of course I turned to Yelp for some suggestions and boy, am I glad I did! Small, family run, intimate Italian restaurant that was amazing! Started with the caprese, see photo ... absolutely the freshest and it was delightful. I also ordered the fried artichoke, expecting the American version, battered & fried, instead I was served an artichoke that had been cut, cleaned and deep fried sans batter, it was incredible. For my main course I chose one of the specials for the evening, zucchini parmesan. I would sincerely like to describe it, but there are simply no words, other than devine! Don't miss this gem and make sure to call for a reservation, it is a small place and tonight it was filled with a strolling singer/guitarist ... 'Oh Solo Mio' and 'Volare' were the hits of the evening! read more

BEST RESTAURANT I've been to in Italy PERIOD. Was visiting Rome for a few days (been here several times), was told by several people to come here for the Cacio e Pepe. Our favorite was always Roma Sparita but I emphasize "was". This place was insanely good. The cacio e Pepe was the best I've ever had but every other dish was off the hook. We dined here two times in 3 days. Boccatini All' Amaitriciana, fettuccini funghi... awesome. But the rabbit and the Braciola (was a special) were just on another level. I can honestly say this was one of the best restaurants I have been to. Also the staff was just so warm and friendly. After dining twice they gave us a bottle of wine as a gift! Gave the owner a hug and will be thinking about this meal for some years to come. read more

3.5 stars but I'll round up. Cute little restaurant in Trastevere. My bf and I had a reservation for 7pm, which is right when the restaurant reopens for their dinner hours. When we arrived, the first things I noticed were that there was nobody in the restaurant and there was a weird smell as if they just finished wiping down the tables with an old rag. I was a little turned off by the smell, but it went away after a few minutes. The restaurant also started filling up after awhile, and by 8pm it was almost full. The staff was very nice and eager to let us know their specials. We ordered the house red wine, fried artichoke appetizer, cacio e pepe, and truffle ravioli special. The wine was great and came in a huge pitcher that was enough for 5-6 glasses. The fried artichoke was perfectly crispy and had a nice flavor. The ravioli was also very good, I loved the truffle taste and I thought the sauce had a good consistency. I was so excited to try their cacio e pepe, but unfortunately, I was not a fan. It was wayyyyy too cheesy and I'm normally someone who loves cheese. It came in this "boat" made out of fried cheese and there was an overwhelming amount of much cheese in the sauce. I also didn't think the pasta was anything out of the ordinary. We ordered a strawberry tiramisu for dessert which was a great end to the meal. All in all, I think this restaurant is a good choice if you are in Trastevere.. but skip the cacio e pepe unless you want to be overloaded with cheese. read more

My first impression was not good since it was hot as balls in here, no air, just two small fans. The bruschetta was good nothing crazy. I got the ravioli special it was with mushrooms and blah blah it was so good I was so happy the hubs got a pasta dish it was red sauce pesto and cheese I know it sounds boring but it was good I mixed his sauce w my white cream sauce to eat my ravioli and his pasta and it was heaven in my mouth. Oh and for two dishes, a bottle of wine, an appetizer, two limoncello, 2 waters, it was €63!!!!! Are you kidding me! Everyone in there was American btw. I think because of Yelp reviews. read more

This little hidden gem in Trastevere had my favorite meal during my 2-week vacation in Italy! Off the beaten path down at the end of a little alley in Tastevere lies La Boticella. The lady that owns the place is quite hospitable. She came around every table to greet all her customers & provided recommendations based on your preferences. Here's what we had: Appetizers * Fried artichokes: I have never tried fried artichokes, but it was highly recommended so we decided to try it. It kindof reminded us of chips, but kinda tasting like ramen...in a good way. Pretty yummy. * Fried zucchini with mozzarela & anchovies: I was hesistant about this one, but it was a delicious combo! It was crisp on the outside & gooey with flavors on the inside. I don't even know how to describe the taste. Just order it! Entree * Roman style chicken with peppers & tomato sauce: I was kinda sick of pasta & pizza at this point so I wanted some meat dangit! The chicken was fall off the bone & super tender. You can't get this chicken in the states! Plus, it was a huge plate enough for two people! All entrees were enough for two so share if you want :P Dessert * Tiramisu: Can't go wrong with this in Italy. The best regular tiramisu we've had on the trip. * Strawberry tiramisu: My favorite of the two tiramisus & my favorite dessert of our trip! It was absolutely heavenly. How I wish I can take this home with me & have it whenever my heart desires! As if the owner didn't win me over already, this takes the cake (haha)! Order this even if you're stuffed silly, you can thank me later ;) Drinks * Aperol spritz: Can't go wrong with one of the common drinks in Italy. Bigger glass than some other places we've been to. * Limoncello: We got a free shot of limoncello after our dessert & I had never had it before. Let's say after having the spritz & then drinking this made me a wee bit tipsy heading back onto the Italian streets, haha. Not for those that don't like strong alcohol :P Have I convinced you to pay a visit to La Boticella yet? You can thank me later after you stuff yourself silly with yummy eats! You know I will definitely be back if I ever return to Rome! read more

During my week long stay in Rome, La Botticella easily ranked in the top two restaurants that I ate at. The food is good, yet it was Julia (the hostess, waitress, and owner) who made this dining experience memorable. My friend and I showed up at 7pm, right when she opened. She started off speaking to us in English, but when we responded back in Italian, her whole demeanor changed and she became quite the chatterbox! She went over her recommendations with us, and instead of going with any of her suggestions, I decided to go with the rigatoni carbonara off of the menu. Well, she wasn't having any of that! She basically told me that it was pointless to come to Rome and order any kind of rigatoni. She promptly corrected my order and told me I will be eating the spaghetti carbonara. How awesome is that?! And then my friend... He decided to order a salad. Julia and I both had this "WTF" look on our faces, but I quickly interjected and ordered a steak (in addition to his salad) that we would split, and that put a smile on her face. The whole experience at La Botticella was fun, thanks to Julia, and the food was good, too. We had two appetizers, two entrees (and one salad), and two desserts. We also had a carafe of red wine, and two shots of limoncello at the end. The total bill came out close to €80. read more

When in Rome... you must. You have to trek to Trastevere & have dinner here. I concur with the others, we went to countless restaurants and this was our best meal in Rome. If you can find something better, please share with the group. We just visited this past May, & it was on my list to have dinner here. Our innkeeper was thoughtful enough to call for us and ask to squeeze us in for late night, same day reservations. Once in the neighborhood, we were met with a romantic energy and arrived at a quaint and tiny family owned restaurant- it's a small & intimate atmosphere- hence- why reservations are strongly encouraged. At first, the server looked unenthused to see us walk in at 10pm- but once we clarified we had reservations, he spoke with the woman (owner) happily seated us in a quiet corner table. Our meal was exceptional. The service was impeccable in a very warm, "not trying too hard-just-being-sincere" way as if you were having dinner at a friends family's house. Many people lingered for a l-o-n-g time after closing and their meal. Inevitably, we were the last table there and the owner and server kept insisting for us to NOT RUSH (how's that for a change?). It was very sincere and evident the owner takes great pride in her business and food and genuinely wanted us to enjoy every moment of our experience. She really meant do not rush, too! We were there for two and a half hours, because it was that pleasant and it flew by. The food was DELIZIOSO! (See photos) All hand made in house. The pasta and sauces were superb- great flavor, so fresh. Take note: the portions are HUGE! And their house red wine is one of the better (best) ones I've had. Prices very reasonable, all things considered. What absolutely took the (tiramisu) cake, was when the owner (woman) found out it was our Anniversary, she sent over a bottle of her house wine complimentary for us to take with us. What a thoughtful gesture. La Botticella, you were one big 'barrel' of pleasant. If you were not so far away, I would send you everyone I know. Grazi and ciao until next time. read more

Enjoy it while you can. Left with a complimentary bottle of wine and a cappuccino cup. Will be back before leaving. Gracie. read more

I stumbled upon this quaint restaurant around the corner from my Airbnb my first night in Rome and I'm at a loss for words for how amazing my experience was. Everything I ate was so good, I started out with grilled vegetables, then had the best spaghetti carbonara I have ever had, and topped it off with the most delectable tiramisu. I honestly lucked out with this being my first meal in Rome - so far everything after this hasn't compared. The chef and server were so kind and added to the whole experience. During dessert they even gave me some limoncello on the house which was such a pleasant surprise. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to this for dinner and you won't regret it! read more

Changed a reservation from a Michelin star restaurant to La Botticella based on the reviews and was still happily surprised. Food was wonderful, as was the service. Started by sharing zucchini flowers and fried artichokes. Both were great, the zucchini flowers had a lot more complexity than i was expecting. Artichokes were a little greasy but that made them better, very enjoyable. I then had gnocchi with gorgonzola and a cream sauce. I am not a big gnocchi person but this was the highlight of the meal. The gnocchi were light and we couldn't stop eating them. The sauce was perfect, even my daughter who hates bleu cheeses kept taking some. I then had the rabbit. Really don't need three courses but had to try as much as possible. Not disappointed, a lot of meaty pieces of rabbit. As others stated, I ordered a bottle of the house red, which was quite drinkable, especially at 12 Euros. We were also given a bottle to take home, a nice touch. Too full for dessert but they looked great. Service was also friendly and authentic. read more

This restaurant was one of the highlights of our trip to Rome. We stumbled onto it using Yelp and we were so glad we did. It's located in a quaint little neighborhood with winding cobble stone streets. The service is phenomenal! The owner and and one other gentleman were the only people serving guests and they had no problem keeping up. Every course came out promptly and our glasses were always full. My wife and I brought our seven year old daughter. The owner made a special effort to make her feel welcome. She told her how beautiful she was and made sure she wanted for nothing. I had the pork shoulder, which was very good. My daughter had the caccio e peppe, also very good. My wife had the ravioli special with a mushroom truffle sauce. It was phenomenal!!! The welcoming atmosphere, top notch food, and the reasonable prices make this restaurant a must when in Rome. read more

Lovely place with a very laid back atmosphere. Family run and with a warm service which was fantastic. Had a great night and were so well taken care of! The food is wonderful, great price level and HUGE portions. We had two starters, caprese and bruschetta pomodoro and it was literally a meal in itself for two people. Two large balls of fresh mozzarella is a loooot. Great homemade pasta. Had the vongole and it was perfect. We ordered the house wine(red, 1L) at a good price, and actually got a bottle to bring home with us for free at the end of the night, how great is that? My only regret is that we didn't order the tiramisu with fresh strawberries, looked heavenly, however the pannacotta was nice as well. We visited on January 4th and wanted to make a reservation to come back the day after(since the place is tiny), but they are now vacation closed until Jan 25th so make sure to stop by att Botticella after that! You won't be disappointed. read more
