This restaurant was recommended to us and it has pretty good reviews so we decided to give it a try. We ordered the eggplant ravioli and sea bass with crusted almonds. The food tasted just OK and the portions were very tiny compared to most places we've been to. I don't know what the hype is all about but that's not the worst part... Our server was decent BUT she kept sneezing and blowing her nose while using her hands to wipe her nose while it was dripping without washing her hands after. She did this over and over and kept rubbing her nose that we were disgusted. She told us she either had a cold or allergy? Couldn't tell as she didn't know the right word to describe what she meant. All we know was that she was snotty and germy. We didn't want to be rude so we just kept quiet and ate our food anyway as it wasn't delivered by her (thank god). Even if the food tasted good, the hygiene was poor and unacceptable. read more

My family and I were looking for a nice place inside to eat and we found it! The seafood and pasta here is great, especially the risotto. Our waitress, Ana was very kind and we chatted about Italian music, she played us some Mina. We had a wonderful time and will be coming back soon:) read more

Amazing food. One of the best of Rome. Service amazing . Authentic pasta amatriciana and the truffles with egg is a must.

Everything was amazing, especially the sea bream, which may have been the best fish of my fiancee's life.

I trusted the reviews, even though they are few, and went to this cozy restaurant very close to the Piazza del Popolo. And were they right! We had a brochette with mozarella and fungi, then a seafood risotto, a seabass with shrimp and other seafood, and topped it with a panna cotta with rosemary and chocolat!!! Our server was fantastic (sorry I missed his name) and spoke perfectly English and Spanish. We will go back! read more

After returning to Rome from Capri, our hotel was in a slightly different location than where we had originally stayed when we arrived in Rome 8 days ago. We were closer to the Vatican city, along the river. When trying to find a restaurant nearby, we found a highly rated gem across from the river not far from the Piazza Peoplo. The walk along the river and across the People's square was the beginning of the end of our culinary journey in Italy. The restaurant is small, but bright and inviting. The waitresses were attentive and enthusiastic. She recommended a nice rose to start off our evening. It wasn't too sweet or too dry, just perfect and refreshing. For the appetizer, we had the fried artichokes which is accompanied by a dollop of fresh ricotta and pomegranate seeds. Just beautiful. I never had a fried artichoke. I normally eat them marinated in olive oil or stuffed during the holidays. This was a nice change. Before I move on to the main course, I must note that they bake their own bread. It was probably the best bread I have had during my time in Italy. That's surprising considering I had already been there for over a week but I felt it was something to mention expressing the level of detail that this restaurant provides. Ok, moving along. We decided to share two pasta dishes (of course). One was a spaghetti with lamb ragu. The ragu was delightful. It wasn't heavy but was filled with flavor. The other dish was long homemade pasta with carbonara. Spectacular. Just tasty and again another sauce filled with flavor. I've never had this type of pasta before but it is genius! Similar to a tonnarelli but with texture to absorb the sauce. For a creamy carbonara, this is exactly the pasta you need to compliment it. Well done! Hats off to the chef! read more

Food and ambiance was amazing!! The waiters were great as well even though we were having trouble with the menu ourselves. Very patient with us . Great prices as well . A must of ROME ! read more

I was so happy we made this spot my birthday dinner! Just a two-minute walk from the Piazza del Popolo, this was an amazing dining experience in a delightfully small restaurant. They sat us next to a cute Vespa and even treated us to a welcome glass of prosecco! The food was heavenly and the service was friendly without being obtrusive. The bread is homemade daily and delicious, too. Our bottle of the night was a wonderfully smooth 2015 Marco Felluga Mongris Pinot Grigio Collio. We started with the Tris di Tartare prepared with tuna, salmon, and seabass. It surpassed our expectations! My birthday dish was the extra fancy tagliolini all'astice (lobster). I'm still daydreaming about it to this day. To end the night? A generously portioned Tiramisu. Best. Birthday. Ever! read more

Nice little restaurant, with fresh ingredients (including house baked bread and desserts) and excellent cooking. Anna (I think she's the manager) was extremely nice, and very knowledgeable about the menu and wine list. She's also proficient in English and Spanish, which is helpful if you're a tourist. Highly recommended read more

Amazing food and service! A little pricier than other places but definitely worth it.

What a charming spot to enjoy a nice dinner. Our waiter recommended an excellent Syrah and it was amazing! The pasta was excellent as was the service. The homemade breads were delicious and you must try the truffle bruschetta. This is definitely a five star restaurant and you will love the intimacy of this rare fine. read more

Cozy, quiet little restaurant further away from crowded streets. A bit on the pricey side (definitely shouldn't be categorized under 1 euro sign) but well worth it. They make their own bread and pasta on location. You can purchase a bread basket that has a mix of their breads, well worth it and only 4euros. Got the rigatoni with homemade cheese & bacon. 100% would come back just to get those two again! read more

Wooow. I'm very picky and this place checked all the boxes for me: authentic, priced perfectly, amazing food, very friendly service. Can't say enough - really was a perfect addition to our Roman Holiday! read more

Rome has great restaurants all over the place. This one just happened to be outside our hotel room. It was a great find! Thanks, Yelpers! It was our first night in town. We already went to The Vatican, but wanted to maximize our day, so we decided to see Trevi Fountain at night. Since Trevi Fountain is about a 20 minute walk, we decided to "carb load" first. Without a reservation on a Thursday night, we were able to get a table right away. The place isn't huge by any stretch of the imagination, but they did have additional seating upstairs. Our table was downstairs, though. We seemed to have 2 servers that night, because they kept switch off. One was good, the other was just ok. For our appetizer/salad, of course we had to get Caprese Salad. This was our first one in Rome. And to be honest, it spoiled us for the rest of the variations we had on this trip. It was amazing. The mozzarella was fresh beyond our imagination and it made all the difference in the world. The tomatoes were equally as fresh, as was the basil. My gripe with any Caprese Salad is there's never enough basil. They actually had more basil than I'm used to, so that was good (but still not enough! Is there such thing as a Basil salad? LOL!). For my entrée, I had Filetto di rombo gratinato alla frutta secca su purea di zucchine, which is basically Turbot Fish filet garnished with fruit (grapes) and served with shredded zucchini. The fish was tender and was topped with the skin fried up. The vegetables were very good, which is why my wife took most of them. Darn her. For her entrée, she had Ravioli del "Porto gamberi" in salsa all'arancio, which is pasta stuffed with prawns and topped with orange sauce. This dish was very unique, but the flavors were perfectly balanced. There is no kids menu, but the girls split a Rigatoni all gricia, which is pasta with cheese and crispy bacon. I had a little bit and it is just another example of how Italians know how to cook pasta. The prices are a little higher than you might expect, if you're comparing to some US restaurants. However, it is in line with other restaurants around town (€ 25 for the fish, € 16 for the pasta, € 10 for the kids meal, and € 9 for the caprese salad). Also, if you're used to American meal sizes, throw that out when traveling in Europe. The meal will be small if you look at it like that. For me, it was perfect. With the Caprese salad, it was more than enough to fill you up without FILLING you up, if you know what I mean. They do have free wifi, which is good if you have impatient kids, which unfortunately, I sometimes do. I was contemplating between 4 or 5 stars for my review, but I will overlook the just-adequate service, and higher prices, and will knock it up to 5 based on the quality of the food! read more

Food was excellent. I still have trouble understanding the charging for each member of our party of four($45 total). Bill without charge was $145, they should have waived the $45 charge. The service was extremely slow our waitress was all alone and was working really hard. However the food was supreme. My homemade pasta and lamb was tremendous. Others in our group had the Osso Bucco, pasta and lobster, and ravioli stuffed with eggplant. All rated them as the best the had to date in Rome. read more

Rome has been nice to me for the most part. However, this place has messed it up for me. It's service is horrible. One of worst I have experienced in years. Not sure how the waitress was trained. Avoid at all costs!! read more

This was such a refreshing experience! The staff was so friendly and accommodating. Our meals the first night (carpaccio, steak tartare, and sea bass were so delicious, and the ambiance so lovely, that we came back our 2nd night in Rome. The Oslo Bucco was so tender and so beautifully flavored. And the raspberry mousse dessert was out of this world! Please give this quaint spot a try! read more

This place was spot on. We were looking for something low key, yet high quality. This was perfect for us in every aspect. The locale was quaint (a bit warm, but that's the weather) and the food couldn't have been better. A must for like minded food seekers. Service was superb read more

This restaurant is very close to Piazza Del Popolo. It's not very visible from the street but it is wonderful inside. The ambiance is quiet and romantic. Our waitress Marianna gave excellent food recommendations. The food was outstanding. I think I ate the ravioli with my eyes closed it was so good. I love this place. read more

We had a lovely evening here. The restaurant makes all their own breads and the desserts are homemade. The best part is they offer and gluten free pastas cooked to perfection. Make a reservation as the place is small. The menu has a wide selection and we enjoyed the lovely non-smoking environment. The chocolate soufflé was amazing and we plan to eat here again with our friends. We enjoyed the ambiance, soft jazz music and Anna, our server, was just delightful. She has a passion for food. I will rely on her next time for recommendations. read more

We stoped into this restaurant on our last night in Rome and were extremely happy with all facets of this lovely restaurant. Anna our server and the GM was extremely attentive, gave great recommendations, and was invested in ensuring we had an amazing experience. The bucatini all'amatriciana was Soo good we ordered a second! Food, service and ambience were great and we will definitely be back! read more

Great stuff. great service. You go. You are lucky to eat here. yum yum! So we sat down and laber i hink his name is served us. he is kind and intelligent. he is from Venezuela! We loved everything about the restaurant. read more

Gracious! if there were one place that I could eat before I died, this would be it. We ran across this place using TripAdvisor, and I am so glad that we did. Anna and her team create a magical meal, with great service, enthusiastic advice, and a beautiful menu. The prices were very reasonable, especially for a large, metropolitan city. We both decided, with this being the last dinner of our Italian visit, that we ended on the highest note possible. Eat here. You will not regret it. read more

My husband ordered the almond-crusted Sea bass and he was going crazy with how good it was. I ordered the vegan pistachio and cedar pasta and was blown away. The nightly special appetizer- white mushroom bruschetta was incredibly beautiful. This little place was our favorite Rome restaurant and a perfect find. Loved this place! read more

Just ate dinner at this restaurant and, let me tell you, everything was fantastic. The ambiance was lovely, the homemade bread was delicious, and everything we ordered was impeccably prepared. My husband had the meat filet with some sort of wine sauce and it was to die for. I don't even really like red meat but I couldn't help myself from stealing just "one more bite" of his steak. The two servers spoke great English and made an already great experience that much better! read more

Lovely little restaurant located on Ripetta, Rome. The staff were very accommodating to our needs and were very polite and attentive. All of their pasta and bread is homemade from scratch, and it was so excellent. We ordered the bread basket to start, and I was impressed by the variety of flavors. I thoroughly enjoyed the mixed salad, it was very fresh and light. I also ordered the lamb pasta which has so much flavor and the pasta was to die for. We also ordered the gnocchi, which I highly recommend and the veal was tender and flavorful. For dessert we went for the pannacotta and tiramisu which only made our whole experience more enjoyable. This little restaurant is a must for anyone who happens to be nearby, it was my favorite place we stopped at in Rome. read more

We travelled through and ate in many restaurants in Venice, Florence, and Rome and this restaurant, Il Porto di Ripetta, by far was among the best. The head waiter is nice and knowledgeable, they make their own pasta and bread, the ambience is awesome. We came back for a second. :) read more

We've been trying to avoid restaurant close to tourist attractions, but this one is really nice surprise. We started with complimentary homemade bread basket fresh out of oven, it's so good, natural taste. And homemade pasta (one with tomato sauce, one with clams and fish) are among the best pasta we had in Rome.赞 read more

Loved the ravioli pasta. Nice and fresh pasta and salad. Cute atmosphere. Liked they had plugs on the wall in some places to charge up. Hidden gem with great food and good service. read more

I'm not sure what all the 5-stars are about. This restaurant is good. Very overpriced, in my opinion. The service is fabulous but the food is just OK--We ordered the seafood tartare appetizer and it lacked flavor. Very bland and not seasoned well. I had a better seafood salad for 10euros near Termini Station that was bursting with flavor and freshness. We ordered the seafood in papillote which should have come in parchment, all puffed up and charred on the edges. Instead it came to the table in aluminum foil and not removed from the foil! At the very least remove it from the foil to the plate. The side salad on the plate was undressed, yet no oil or vinegar were offered. For the price I expected to be very impressed ... the service was impressive. I wish the food was as impressive as the service read more

Fabulous in every way! Everything is homemade. Service is delightful and the food is over the top incredible! We loved it and highly recommend you come and enjoy this lovely establishment. read more

After doing one of the Rick Steves' Rome walks that ended near Piazza del Popolo, we rewarded ourselves with dinner at this charming, romantic restaurant. We enjoyed it all, from appetizers to desserts, but my fave was the fried artichoke appetizer "carciofi alla giudia"--so original and delicious, as was the morel mushroom appetizer. read more

This is one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. We had the Salmon carpaccio, Pici Homemade Pasta, the lamb, and Tiramisu. I could not believe how good everything tasted. The Tiramisu was not the only thing that pulled me up, but the lamb and the pasta respectively threw us to a whole new level of dinning. This is a must try. read more

The food is delicious and The server was so sweet and kind. A must go to. Pasta Norma fabulous. Food is not too heavy. Off quiet street.

Best restaurant we at in Rome. The service was top notch. Everything about it was amazing!

This was a wonderful, romantic restaurant in the heart of Rome that served us the best pasta ever! The special was a tuna black truffle pasta and they also have gluten free! The service is amazing and so is the dessert. Try the chocolate soufflé! read more
