Both were absolutely amazing, freshly made pasta with phenomenal, tomato sauce, and really fresh, balanced ingredients. We also had thethe Fried zucchini flour appetizer, which was amazing, and a pear salad, which was fantastic. The wine list is to die for, and the waiter recommended a wonderful Wine, a nebbiolo that is not so known. I deducted two stars, however, for what I can only describe as racism by the management. They turned away a Chinese family when they were clearly multiple tables available outside. And then immediately afterwards, give them to White families who had no reservations. It was really unbelievable. And reading other reviews, I can see that this is a pattern. They need to fix this.

We went there for a lunch after checking in the hotel. No table available,, but told the manager that we would wait. It took half hour wait time but we came back. I read it somewhere that good carnabora can be determined by how they cook pancetta. Should be crispy. Also the sauce was not watery. It was a great meal. So glad to have had a great meal.

My kids, 16 and 12 and my wife all said let's go!!! Before I get to the food I have to share the odd. This family run place has only a few servers. Service can take a long long time, but as the Roman's do, talk and have fun while waiting to eat. But you will wait and sit up to 25 minutes. Our server was an older gentleman, and he not only knew his food, but he was all business---and funny. We started with the bread, and veggie platter. Both were yummy. For the main course my wife and myself shared the pasta Carbonara.!! It was so good, and so big. Two people are needed to finish the large course. The dish was thick, Heavy and a bit spicy. It was ridiculously delish. My 16 year old had the same and loved it. My 12 year old had the ravioli pomodoro. She finished it all! Overall, great place. Go. Here.

tl;dr excellent traditional Roman cuisine meets exceptional service, so you are sure to feel right…read moreat home in this family-run trattoria The Roman pasta scene is dominated by four quintessential pasta dishes -- Carbonara, Cacio e Pepe, Amatriciana, and Gricia -- and each is served at any of the countless trattorias around Rome. While plenty of these places are unabashed tourist traps, others are true diamonds in the rough. Finding the gems can be challenging -- so I was relieved that our host in Rome invited us to one of his favorite family-run spots: La Pace del Palato. Just blocks from the Piazza Navona, La Pace makes its home on a slightly sleepy side street. Inside, cool bright colors pop out directly from the walls. Plaster meets exposed brick in a wavy pattern across the walls, themselves only decorated with shelves of wine. Metal stars hang down from the high ceilings. Muted jet-black chairs are pressed up to the lightwood tables, each decorated with a dumbbell-shaped lamp. Just days in advance, I secured a reservation for weekend dinner. The proprietor Renato didn't speak any English, but he was fluent in hospitality. As soon as we arrived, we were made to feel at home, and the staff joked with us like family throughout the meal. Our meal kicked off with two complimentary antipasti: a flavor-packed, Aperol spritz-inspired amuse bouche and a smoky roasted eggplant salad. After that, our group gravitated toward the "Roman Tradition" selection of the menu: classic Roman pastas. My favorite was the excellent Mezzemaniche alla Carbonara. Despite the deep yellow sauce, the flavor was rich and peppery rather than egg-dominated. I also loved the Rigatoni alla Amatriciana for its particularly tomato-forward sauce and plentiful pork. But don't sleep on the generously-sauced Ravioli (prosciutto, ricotta, and thinly-sliced proscitto) or the melt-in-your-mouth Stringozzi alla Gricia (cacio e pepe enhanced by guanciale). Across all of the pastas, my only criticism was that the pork could have been more consistently crispy; otherwise, the textures and flavors were excellent. We completed our meal with a tiramisu -- it is a testament to La Pace that we downed the dessert despite our already-full bellies. Our bill worked out to just over $100 -- on par with some of our least memorable meals in Paris. La Pace del Palato literally translates to "the peace of the palate", and the name couldn't be more apt. This was our final restaurant on a whirlwind trip through Italy, and everything about this meal satisfied. For Roman classics done right, look no further than Renato's humble cucina.

The insalada mista was very good and refreshing. Also appreciate the price of their house wine, which is pretty tasty.

The service staff forgot the artichoke appetizer we ordered so it never arrived but the waiter was apologetic and very understanding once we inquired about it.

Our table was in a back room, and they had to physically move the table away to let my wife get into her seat. All patrons are basically squished like sardines in a can at this restaurant.

The entire restaurant was waiting. I have not had one restaurant in all of Italy that did not cook their pasta al dente. This place is understaffed, and I would highly recommend avoiding this place at all costs.

After trying the original location our very first night in Rome (two flights .. 16 hours later…read more.. and a 9 hour time change) my dad was still raving about our first meal. Due to all the factors listed above, I wanted to make sure our first experience was indeed the best pasta we had in Rome. This location DID NOT DISAPPOINT and my statement stands. We arrived at 12pm for lunch ( I know I know so early by Italy standards) but we had a train to catch! The restaurant was completely empty and I was worried it was actually closed. Luckily the door opened and we were happily greeted inside. At the first location, we were blown away by the Fettuccine al tartufo e porcini. My dad opted for that while I opted for the Spaghetti alla Amatriciana. Our waiter, Alex, was nice enough to suggest I swap the spaghetti for the Tonnarelli so I could try the fresh handmade pasta. Who knew that simply tomato sauce and cheese could be so delicious. I WAS IN HEAVEN! Since the restaurant was empty, we had the opportunity to chat with Alex and get to know him a little bit. A truly wonderful experience! Thank you Alex and That's Amore for making my first trip to Rome so wonderful. We'll see you again next summer! :)
