    Pasta
    L C.

    Finally getting around to posting a review for one of our favourite super informal pasta restaurants close to Trevi Fountain. It is slightly strange to eat in a lane with cars passing by your chair, but this type of restaurant is typical of old Rome. Our family makes a point of dining here each trip to Rome, at least once, as the pasta is pretty good and they can accommodate a large group if you call ahead - we are often 12-14. Cacio e Pepe, spaghetti bolognese, saltimbocca, pizza - all good. Like many places in Italy the service is hit and miss, we've had both good and fair experiences here, but this is not fine dining. The food will not disappoint.

    Overly salty cacio e pepe. Plastic cups for wine in picture :(

    I don't like bashing places. I like to give my full honest review as a foodie. Overall experience here was a 2.5/5. Taste: 3/5 was about 50/50. My sister's mushroom pasta was amazing. However I had the cacio e pepe that was way too salty almost inedible. Probably the worst thing I ate during my entire trip to its Italy. Service: .5/5 There was no friendliness or greeting. Simply, "you want to eat? Sit here ok." We ordered their house wine which I would not recommend. We asked for wine glasses and we're told "No! Drink from cup". Our server made us drink our wine from colored plastic cups while everyone around us drank their house wine from wine glasses. Very very dissatisfied. Ambience: 4/5 If you do dine here, sit outside and enjoy the beautiful street of Rome. Inside is ok, I prefer outside simply. Overall take: There are hundreds of great local restaurants that want your business and will welcome you warmly and kindly. For having such high reviews we expected a warm welcoming, instead we received disappointment. Will not return sadly.

    Italian pasta and pizza.

    I agree with what another reviewer said. My husband had the Cacio de pepe and he normally likes salty food but said it was inedible. I had a sauce with bacon and cheese and it was very good. The service was horrible. The waitress was rude and when we went to pay - she said they only take cash and was extremely annoyed with us. We went into the restaurant and they gladly took our credit card. It was like all the staff were annoyed at the tourists despite that they make a living by tourists.

    Amazing pasta and house sauces. Pair it with the tiramisu and it's one of the best meals in Rome and right next to one of the best attractions, the Trevi fountain.

    I cannot quite understand why this place rates the way it does, because we had a lovely experience and probably our favorite food in Rome. One thing I liked about L'Archetto is its lack of an American menu/translation. A lot of places around here have English menus, which tells me they are mostly catering toward tourist crowds versus locals. It's located a couple of blocks from the Trevi fountain. Far enough to keep the price low and a ton of tourists away, but close enough if I have a desire for more I would go back. We ordered two dishes, one called the Trevi, which was a light red sauce, bacon, and zucchini tossed in spaghetti. The other was the spaghetti vodka. Both were absolutely perfect - sauced well, al dente, great flavor. The draft beer was okay, similar to a bud light (meh) but the house white wine was delectable. I'd suggest this place to anyone looking for a quiet, delicious and cheap meal

    We were strolling the streets of Rome and stopped to eat here. Ordered Amatriciana and Cacio e pepe and it was delicious! Friendly service, Cash Only and is near the Trevi Fountain. Highly recommend!

    So good the plates are licked clean!

    Confused by the other reviews... our house wine was fantastic and the food fresh. Great service and great prices! Especially for being within walking distance of so many sights. Delicious!

    Hidden little gem in the side street. Fast and delicious place to grab a bite and relax!

    Great little spot 2 blocks off of the beaten path where you can sit outside and enjoy a glass of wine/beer, some incredibly fresh bruschetta, and some of the most delicate and flavorful pasta.

    Very good service. Price was not too bad. Pizza was amazing! Crispy crust and nice salt from ham. Enjoyed the outside seating. Waiter was very attentive. Food served in about 10min. English speaking waiter too. Very helpful. Even called a taxi for us which is so important as we don't know how to converse with Taxi persons that well. Place was clean too. Will recommend to friends traveling to Roma.

    Excellent pizza!!!! Thin crust; organic flour. Great staff. Perfect place to stop in for pizza. Two…read moresizes... small (6 inches); big (10 inches). Great rice balls and home made chips too!!!!!

    Passed this spot on the way back to the hotel and thought I need to try and returned to find a…read moresmaller almost "hole in the wall" space with an extensive variety of specialty pie options and some fun signs posted-ie "If you ask me for ketchup and mayonnaise I'll call the police!!." They have a small pizza and a bigger size which I would say is about 10 inches. The small size was sold out on my first visit and found out better to arrive earlier (before 6) for these. The Mini pies are good if you want to try a few varieties-so many so little time. Ordered the big Amatriciana (the unloved pasta dish of the big Roman four as a pizza) which was recommended-Pecorino, mozzarella with the Pork cheeks taking it over the top-one of their most popular and rightfully so! On the second visit , they had the small size pies-Friarielli & Salsiccia-Broccoli Rave and sausage-tasty, Fegato & Cipolla-pork liver sausage with onions and peppers made for a "not everyday" and delicious pie. Both visits service was excellent and engaged. This place screams independent and one of a kind but it turns out they are a regional chain with a handful of locations. Amazing pizza with so many options!
