This place was a welcome retreat from the hot sun during a summer visit to the Vatican. I highly recommend the Rigatoni all'Amatriciana it was absolutely amazing! read more

Small alley restaurant right next to the St. Peter and about 10 minutes walk from the Vatican Museum. Great pastas, especially the gnocchi Italiano with clams!! The Osso Bucco has a large plate of food with two good size pork but the flavor was not as good as the pastas. I'd recommend staying with their fish or pasta choices. Very friendly staff; the host was super warm and gave us tourist tips! read more

We were wandering through a street in desperate search for lunch when one of the waiters at this restaurant offered us a table. Honestly, I was worried about it but I had just given in and sat down. We were immediately greeted with kindness and a menu. We ordered the bread basket which was surprisingly one of the highlights of our meal. It was fresh good bread with olive oil, balsamic, and parmigiana. I ordered the fettuccine bolognese which was rich and lovely. My little brother ordered the polpette (meatballs) which were massive and so good. My parents ordered the lasagna and the tortilini which they were both quite happy with. The service was nice, the restaurant itself was comfortable and inviting, the food was good and the prices were very reasonable for being in such a tourist heavy area. I would absolutely eat here again and would reccomed it. read more

A welcome surprise that is just outside of Vatican City's walls! Located about a block or so from St. Peter's Basilica, my wife & I discovered Krugh after one of the restaurant staff members coaxed us into coming in. Of course, coaxing is pretty much the marketing tool that restaurants use all over Rome. Given its location (the restaurant is in a long alleyway slightly obscured from the main road), Krugh may be considered as one of Rome's "hidden gems." Upon first impression, the interior decor says "brand new." There are wine racks that are stacked from the floor to the ceiling, and the tables are set up in a manner that is not too close or far away from the others. Makes for a more intimate setting. Food choices vary. I didn't see anything tremendously exceptional that I've experienced in other Rome restaurants, yet we did experience food that was well presented, as well as well cooked. Customer service was excellent, and our entree choices of shrimp ravioli and Penne All' Amatriciana was absolutely superb. As aforementioned with the wine racks, there are plenty of wine choices here. We passed on the wine & other alcohol choices this time, as well as dessert. The water (tap water, which is actually very good) is served in liter-sized portions. Krugh. Sei il massimo! read more

The only thing I can say about my experience is "If you want mediocre food with self-service and an undisclosed fee for sitting at the table look no further." The service was horrible. the only question was "where are you from" as soon as we sat down. not how are you, can I get you some water. nope. only asked where we are from and walked away. the waiter did not come up even once to ask how is everything. Brought us a bottle of water and did not even pour it into the glass! Further, the 6 euro coperto fee was an unexpected disappointment to the bill. Nowhere it was indicated on the menu that they charge undisclosed fees for literally giving them business by eating at their place. I saw 1 or 2 euro of coperto but always indicated on the menu. No one ever told us at this place that they add to your bill. is that even legal to add money to the bill without any notice to the customers? note, this is SEPARATE from tips. yes, you read it right, you pay extra for the pleasure to pour your own water. why there would be any expectation of the tips after this I don't know. tips are based on service or, to be more precise in this situation, the lack of it. there are other restaurants next to them with great service and much better food and without unexpected charges. read more

After a long day walking around the streets of Rome, we decided to stop at the first restaurant we encountered before heading to The Vatican's St. Peter's Basilica. "Ristorante Krugh a Borgo" can be found at the foot of the long street leading up to the Basilica plaza, it has an inviting and spacious interior and more importantly, a very clean restroom which we were also desperately looking for. After browsing the menu and getting a few suggestions from our awesome server, we went with a plate of their house Carbonara and Napoli Pizza (mushroom, anchovies, egg, ham, salame and cheese) with a glass of wine. Food was great of course, pizza was exceptionally well-made and the carbonara ruined all the carbobnaras I've tried in the USA! But what stood out the most for us was just how warm and friendly the staff is, especially our server who even informed us that his wife is (also) Filipina! We still had a large portion of our lunch left over (their serving is that generous) and once again our friendly server made sure to pack our "takeaways" securely for our continued trek and hop-on rides around the city. That short stop at Krugh which afforded us to freshen up and get our energy back from their delicious meal was why our day trip to Rome is more memorable! read more

Food was delicious! It really was our best meal in Rome and to our surprise in a touristy area.

If I could put 0 stars, I would. On 11/7, this restaurant charged us a cover fee per person for "using silverware", even though we sat outside. Do not go to this place!!!! The food wasn't even that good! The owner is rude and defended the cover charge by saying it is not a touristy restaurant (when it's located minutes from Vatican City). If you value good taste and fair service, stay far away from Krugh. read more

Giacomo recommended the rigatoni and it was incredible. The rosemary potatoes, spaghetti meatballs and tortellini were also . Besides that, what an amazing staff read more

For our second day in Rome we found this little restaurant and are we glad we did! The pasta is hand made in house and it's amazing! The wait staff's awesome to. It was so amazing we had dinner there on day 3 as well. Try it I guarantee you'll like it! read more

Was really one of the worst meals we've ever had EVER. The pasta carbonara was greasy, and so salty (I usually like salty foods! - it was like just eating salt right from the shaker. The pork osso bucco was straight up inedible. Tough, chewy, gross. Had to ask 3 times for my coffee. The original item I ordered they were "out of stock" on. There was a problem with the bill (they charged us $6 for the salad that was INCLUDED with the pork). Would never return. Please don't go here. read more

We were looking for a place that was not so "touristy" and this definitely hit the spot. We rolled in with a limited time to eat and were met with pure kindness and hospitality. Myself, my mother, and 2 aunts sat down and ordered a bottle of Chianti (delicious, a 2016). I ordered the special, tuna tartare with burrata, and they got carbonara, ravioli, and bolognese. I'm a nerd for proper service and they were amazing. Clearing between courses, proper wine handling, the whole nine. The food was INCREDIBLE. The pasta was perfectly "al dente", the sauces flavorful. My burrata was so creamy it was like cream cheese. If you're looking for legit Italian hospitality and food, let these folks entertain you. You won't regret it. read more

My friend and I stopped in here on a whim after touring the Vatican City. They were very cordial and the food was delicious and reasonably priced. read more

Good food. May not be that popular because their coperto (service charge) is 15%, if you want quick lunch I suggest this is a good place for you. read more

Fettuccine bolognese is fantastic, so are the meatballs! Great spot, great service, very friendly staff especially Miriam! Miriam spent a lot of time explaining the dishes, as well as other pertinent info for a places to see while in Rome. Miriam is a professional at maintaining a continuous flow of wine. Go to Krugh and ask for Miriam. You won't be disappointed. read more

My wife, in laws and I were in Rome for 4 days and luckily stumbled across this amazing restaurant the first night we were there. Unfortunately the next night we didn't stick to what we knew and asked for a recommendation from the Airbnb host. Needless to say we went back the last two nights we were in Rome. The owner was very accommodating, and picked out a bottle of wine from us every night (3/3 on the wine choices). The owner gave us night club recommendations every night we asked that ended up being fantastic nights out in Rome. This last trip was my 3rd trip to Rome, I have ate my way through the entire city and have to say Krugh is by far my favorite. read more

It was ok Food wise. We only had pizza. They added a 15% service charge on top and didn't tell us and I don't recall seeing it posted on the menu (like other places did). Also we bought "bottled" still water but they just filled it from the taps and charged us three euros so I felt that was dishonest. I thought the menu was a little pricey too for the quality. read more

Hidden gem very close to the Vatican. Food is absolutely amazing and they have a very nice selection of wine. During our stay in Rome, we were incredibly tired of tourist traps - overpriced and Americanized Italian food. This place pleasantly surprised us with not only authentic food but also a great service. We had the cheese platter, a bottle of Pinot Grigio and two house made tagliatelle dishes (one with clams, the other porcini and baby squid). If you enjoy authentic Italian dishes, this is the place for you: perfect sized dishes soaked with flavor. One of the best meals at Rome - HIGHLY RECOMMEND. read more

Food was not good, Our bill suppose to around 100 Euro, But we saw the bill is 154 Euro. Asked about it and they said there is 40 Euro service fee!! It is rip-off. Stay away.. read more

Lured us in from the street promising fresh not frozen. All of our pasta was very obviously frozen and still cold in the center. Sauce was nothing more than tomato purée. Pizza was the only redeeming part, but still not great. Please don't be fooled by the old reviews. Don't waste your money here read more

We stumbled across this restaurant for lunch when visiting the Vatican/St. Peters and WOW. The Butter Spinach Ravioli was incredible as was the Carbonara. We were in Italy for 3 weeks and this was some of the best pasta we ate!!! read more

Fantastic place to eat! The food is amazing, the wine list is near endless, and the service is of five star quality. The atmosphere is relaxed both inside and outside - everything you would expect from the heart of Italy! It feels as if you're sitting in a quaint 5 star at the price of far less. (A must go!) read more
