Spaghetti
Kristen B.

This was near the Coliseum and such a great little restaurant! Service super fast and we shared the spaghetti and a pizza and had a glass of the house white wine. Highly recommended a huge menu and a great experience

Store front was very welcoming!

In passing by this restaurant on a walk in the neighborhood, it looked inviting and welcoming, with its lights and holiday cheer. It didn't disappoint when we decided to stop by for dinner. We were seated right away by a very pleasant gentleman with a warm and genuine smile. The menu had a good selection of non-pasta options, Like swordfish and beef, that looked very appealing. We ordered a salad, pasta pomodoro, meatballs in red sauce and beef with rosemary. The salad was colorful and fresh with various lettuces, corn, olives and fresh tomatoes. The pasta was perfectly cooked, not so "al dente" that it was chewy, and went down easily. The beef was a nice medium cooked steak that was buttery. It was not as trimmed as a cut I might get back home, but the flavor was there! The meatballs were nicely arranged in a pool of sauce with bread arranged around the bowl. My son had no problem enjoying them. Overall, a good meal and possibly worth a trip back to test out some of their other dishes

My first lunch in Rome didn't disappoint! Restaurant with outside dining along a busy road.. staff was so friendly and engaging. Immediately greeted and served drinks. Birra media... my new favorite saying medium beer. Ice colder .... Mmmmmm I went with a Margherita pizza, it's super thin and so fresh, lol s of flavor in this baby. Loved the outside area. Very small bathroom on site.

Found this place while walking down the street. Food was awesome, nuff said! But I do recommend the dishes with homemade egg noodles.

Delicious Campari Spritz!

We ate here twice on our visit to Rome. First visit was just my husband and I popping in without a reservation. She quickly sat us at a table by the window and brought our drinks without pause. We had mozzarella and prosciutto for appetizer. The size was perfect for two and everything was so fresh! We then split the pasta carbonara which was fabulous. The chef split it to two bowls (nice touch) and flavored perfectly with just the right amount of sauce. Don't miss the tiramisu for dessert. It is untraditionally served in a mug, which gave me pause. However, it too was fresh and every bite had all the flavors together. Perfect! The cost was not too bad either, it was 75€ for appetizer, meal, 4 drinks, dessert and grappa. The second visit was with 8 of us - service was still great and food was again fabulous!

Great, English speaking service. Not far from the Colosseum. Vegan options -- the spaghetti and penne are egg-free and the penne arrabbiata is fully vegan! I didn't ask about their vegetable soups, but they might also be vegan. They had salad options too of course. And bruschetta with olive oil as a starter!! The bruschetta was good if slightly less than flavorful. I added salt, but garlic or onion would've taken it over the top! The bread was fresh and delicious though. Definitely worth the €2 for a nice starter. I got the penne arrabbiata which was good! The portion was large for under 10 euro but I wish it had been spicier. My friend got the steak for €14, he said it was pretty good but be warned that it comes with no sides. Just a steak on a plate. The other 2 in our group got ravioli with spinach and loved it--though it's worth noting that the portion was noticeably smaller than my penne. The non-vegans in our party finished with panna cotta and loved it. We all enjoyed our meal!

Spaghetti Carbonara.
Cindy Z.

Although the restaurant only had two other parties, we decided to give this place a try. Considering how heavy pasta and pizza is, the three of us shared the Capricciosa Pizza (€9.50) and Spaghetti Carbonara (€9.50) with a bottle of Mineral Water (€2.00). This was the perfect amount for us with no leftovers. The pizza was pretty plain topped with two slices of prosciutto, a few mushroom and olive bites, and one piece of artichoke. Honestly, it was pretty much a cheese pizza. Despite that, the flavor was still good and the crust was thin and crispy. I actually enjoyed the crust most while dipping it into the balsamic vinegar. As for the carbonara, it was more creamy than one I had the night before, so that was a plus. Although still nothing special, but good. Overall, it's just another Italian restaurant along the street of Rome. It's not bad, but not that great either.

Out hotel recommended we come over to this area, as it has great food and attracts the locals. My fella was hoping for more traditional pasta and rejected the specific restaurant recos because he didn't like their more modern menus. So, we rounded the block and found this place. Very disappointed. The pastas weren't great. The veal was so tough I had one bite and rejected it. The patio was right on a busy street next to the metro- not a relaxing spot to eat. My recommendation, walk yourself down the metro steps and hit the next street over for food. All restaurants on that strip looked amazing! We missed out trying to get our last good traditional pasta on our last night in Italy.

Cheese plate

This was our last night in Rome and hands down the best dinner we had. Flavorful. The lemon chicken was outstanding. My pasta was very flavorful. My husband enjoyed his lasagna as well. I got the roast chicken leg as well. Cooked perfectly. All staff was kind and not at all pushy like some places. If we were here another night we would go back

Linguini Pesto Chicken (comes with shrimp, but I asked to substitute.)  It was amazing!!!

A friend who had been to Da Enzo's told us the line was worth it and the pasta unforgettable…read more We arrived just after opening and were first in line, even though every table was already full. By the time we were seated, dozens of people were waiting behind us. We sipped an Aperol spritz and lemonade while we waited, chatting with fellow diners who raved about the restaurant. On a sweltering day, our kids were starting to struggle in the heat when the owner came outside and gave them mini pizzas breads. It was a thoughtful gesture that immediately made us feel welcome. Once seated, we ordered burrata, cacio e pepe, amatriciana pasta, pork chops, and fried artichokes. Everything was excellent, but the amatriciana was the standout--rich, savory, and unforgettable. The cacio e pepe was silky, the burrata fresh and creamy, the pork chops juicy, and the fried artichokes perfectly crisp. There's a reason people line up for Da Enzo. The food is exceptional, the atmosphere lively, and the hospitality remarkable. Without question, this was our best meal in Rome and one of our most memorable restaurant experiences.

Overall 7/10. My partner and I got the burrata and bread as…read morean appetizer, I would give it a 5/10. The tomatoes were fresh and juicy but the burrata was a bit thick (referring to the outer aspect). Also the bread was a bit tough. The amatriciana was good, but not worth a 2 hour wait in a line, 7.5/10. Pasta was perfectly al dente, but the sauce wasn't anything to die for. I think you can get a very similar possibly better pasta in Rome without the wait. My girlfriend got the gnocchi pasta, which she said was a 7/10. The gnocchi was great, but again the sauce wasn't anything special Tiramisu, 10/10. This was amazing. It was sweet without being overpowering. The ladyfingers weren't soggy, and had that strong espresso taste. I would come back here just for this dessert. Also if you don't like cramped spaces, probably not the best spot. I could hear the people next to me better than I could hear the person across me haha.

I had a wonderful dinner experience at Tonnarello in Rome. The restaurant has a lively and…read morewelcoming atmosphere that really captures the energy of Trastevere. Even though there was a bit of a wait, it was absolutely worth it once we were seated. The staff was friendly and attentive despite how busy the restaurant was. You could tell they were working hard to make sure everyone had a good experience.

We chose this restaurant because of its outstanding trip advisor rating (4.8 stars with over 4,000…read morereviews), so we were expecting an amazing meal. Unfortunately, it ended up being one of the most disappointing meals of our trip to Rome. I want to start by saying the staff was wonderful--everyone was incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive. We have absolutely no complaints about the service. The food, however, was very underwhelming. The Margherita pizza was undercooked, with dough that was still soft and not fully baked. The chicken dish tasted more like a simple stew and lacked flavor, and the lasagna was just average. Another red flag was that all of our food arrived within about five minutes of ordering, which made it seem like everything had been pre-made rather than freshly prepared. We rarely leave negative reviews, especially when the staff is so friendly, but we chose this restaurant specifically because of its exceptional reviews. I think it's only fair to share our honest experience so other travelers have realistic expectations. While the service was excellent, the food simply didn't live up to the reputation.

It was a positive Yelp review that lured us to choose this restaurant for our first night meal…read moreafter traveling from USA. So, I felt that I owed a review of my own in appreciation. Being new to Rome, and having walked 20k steps on our first day, there are an abundance of options a for dining. We wanted something classically Rome nearby to our hotel. The Yelp review of this restaurant was sufficiently positive to entice us. Being American, we appreciate the earlier-than-customary dining options. We arrived at 6pm without a reservation. We were seated immediately. The restaurant is intimate and very well staffed. The wood fire oven is front-and-center and the fresh mozzarella is prominent in display. We ordered a bottle of wine ... all options are very fairly priced. This is nice. We started with a Greek salad to share. It was unlike any American Greek salad ... and a really delight. It is early June but the tomatoes and peppers were ripe and crisp and really fresh. My wife ordered the Marguerite pizza; I opted for the Gorgonzola pizza (the effusive review on Yelp was compelling). Both were solid. We appreciate the thin crust and the crisp edged. The center of both, however, was doughy and somewhat undercooked. Looking around ... the restaurant was over 50% full even at this early hour. Most were Americans. We saw a good number of diners with pasta dishes ... and none were left unfinished. Sadly, we don't have any comparisons to weigh (yet). So, I cannot affirm any "best of" citations, it this is certainly a solid trattoria/pizzeria. The staff are attentive and the food served hot and fresh.

Super pizza place with a lot of other great stuff on the menu…read more I looked with envy at the other tables who were enjoying spectacular plates of spaghetti with mussels. * * * That said, my pizza was a grand slam home run. Many of their pizzas are quite elaborate With all sorts of exotic ingredients. I went super simple. Gorgonzola. Mozzarella. That's it. Just enough Mozzarella to cut the Gorgonzola and make for a good melt. * * * If you have never had a gorgonzola pizza, you have never lived. Just sayin'. * * * P.S. My lovely wife got a Norwegian salmon pizza. The Norwegian salmon was stacked up high on her pizza As if she was in the World Series of Poker and she was a big winner. I have never seen so much salmon on one plate. After our meal, I made a discreet phone call to the Norwegian embassy in Rome asking them if they still had any salmon left. The woman at the embassy assured me the Norwegian salmon supply was fine. That surprises me given all the salmon that was on my wife's pizza.
