Very welcoming staff, clean and delicious. We chose this restaurant based on walking distance from our hotel and yelp reviews. Our group had mushroom, sausage pizza, Gnocchi tomato and basil pasta and ham and cheese calzone. Overall comments included each meal was delicious, the dough was crunchy, light and tasty. Gnocchi was tasty non-meat option and more basil would have been good for me. I had a tiramisu to go and it was fresh, and the coffee flavor was the best I have ever had. We would love to go back. No need to hesitate on this place. Be prepared you cannot tip in credit card payment. read more

Ver nice people. Food just ok. Service was very good was close to hotel and convenient

Food was delicious & satisfying... service was great! We ate dinner here twice & also had lunch because it was so good. The two times we were there for dinner, our waitress/server was so busy with almost every table occupied, but she handled it so well & didn't miss a beat. We really enjoyed the comfortable & casual atmosphere that made you feel welcome & at home. read more

This restaurant is very yummy, has very fresh food at reasonable prices, and has staff who are extremely attentive!! My husband and I found this place a few years ago when we found it by staying at the Marriott down the road. We loved it then, and it hasn't changed. I brought my 27 year old son this time, and we've eaten here twice because he wanted to eat here. They give you very yummy bread. They do charge for water, but so do most places around town. The caprese includes very tasty tomatoes and a yummy ball for the mozzarella!! I added olives to my pizza, and it was outstanding! I highly recommend this place!! read more

Wonderful authentic small restaurant. Informal with nice outdoor area. We went back twice! Pasta is made on site, you can watch it being made while eating. The Cacio e Pepe was fantastic. Enjoy! read more

This restaurant was close to our hotel and had a lot of American ppl eating here. The food was very tasty. We had the bruschetta to start with that was very fresh. My husband had the carbonara and he loved it. I had the egg plant parmigiana which was baked in a small dish with some pasta which was also very tasty. Most places here charge a fee for the bread and water as well as a service fee. They offer other suggestions but don't always tell you it is an extra charge so ask! No tipping is required but if you have good service it is a nice thing to do. We didn't have a reservation but they were able to seat us right away. Service is good. read more

Delicious small restaurant in walking distance to Hotel Splendide. Homemade pasta. Fabulous lasagna and sun-dried bruschetta.Although we didn't have it, people thought it was the best pizza ever! Highly recommend it for a casual meal. read more

Stopped here for lunch, it was good. Pizza was the best we have had in Rome. The basement is so cool it's very nice but we were seated upstairs. Service was okay not anything amazing. read more

Please don't come to this place might look cheap but at the end of it they add 3 hidden fees which makes the check way more. The waiter asked if we wanted appetizers we said no and the waiter brought us bread and normally every time a restaurant give you bread its free but no they charged 7 euros for bread that was stale and didn't even tell us that you had to pay for it. Food was mediocre the pizza had barely any cheese it was basically bread with tomato sauce please don't come here this place is a SCAM! Not to mention the cheese on my pizza didn't exist. read more

We had such a nice evening here. We picked it because of its proximity to our hotel. The server was kind and helpful. We split a salad and a pizza and it was a perfect meal for the 2 of us. We did not split dessert, however. read more

Food is so so at best. Beware that they will charge 2 service fees. Maybe they just took advantage of us, but charged 3 euro a head and then added a 12% service charge on top of it. Between the bread the water and their service charge we were charged 25% on top of our bill. The server (a woman) was super rude on top of it. Hate having forced service charges for rude service. We are here for 2 weeks. It's conveniently located literally 4 steps from the entrance of our Airbnb. We will obviously not be back read more

Looks awesome and what a fun place we sat outside and watched them make hand made pasta through the window . First restaurant in Rome read more

Food was the worst we've had in the 2 weeks of traveling around Italy. House wine was terrible. I defy anyone to find eggplant in the eggplant parmesan which was just a cheese goo. Olive oil and bread were both tasteless. Simply overpriced fast food. However, nice people. read more

Fabulous. This was our first dinner in Rome and it was amazing. The food was as fresh as any food I have ever had. You can really tell it is made with love. The service could not possbe better. My first trip to Rome has certainly started off on a great note. read more

Our group of 5 went to this restaurant during our stay in Rome. Service started out good but went downhill quickly. Some of our food was given to another table so we ended up waiting about 20 more minutes before we received our meal. read more

Our first stop in Rome. Service was quick. The gnocchi in pasta sauce was great as well as the brushetta. The calamari pasta was just ok. Overall, it was a good lunch. Prices were a little high for the portion size, but no complaints here. If your looking for good quick food, this is the place. read more

We had had some bad pizza experiences in Rome and our hotel told us this was a good pizza place. They let us know it wasn't a great pasta place. That was the case. Pizza was amazing. My wife ordered pasta and it was only sos so. Service was great. Price was good relative to quality. read more

My wife and I were in Rome for a cruise in May 2023. The concierge at Westin Excelsior recommended and we were pleasantly surprised. Simple but really good food. So on 2024 we returned to Rome and Westin and had to go back to La Bruschetta for another excellent meal. read more

Our family and siblings have been traveling Italy, in Rome this place is located around the corner from our hotel, food is ok and prices are reasonable. Upon reviewing the bill I asked "what is this charge for 18.50 euros"?, the waiter or possibly the owner said "oh that's for bread". Having owned a restaurant and understanding the daily challenges, I like to support small business and I'm cautious not to be unreasonable when writing a review, in fact this the first 2stars I've ever given, I think is very unreasonable charging us 18.50 euros for 2 baskets of simple bread we didn't order and didnt finished, it was more expensive that all the other plates we ordered. We all concluded the extra charge was for being American tourists. We're going out for dinner tonight but not to this place read more

La Bruschetta - Italian Near Me - Roma, 62

We were staying at a hotel close by. Due to just arriving in Rome, found it convenient to eat there both nights. We enjoyed all of the food that we had, both pastas and pizza. The wait staff was friendly and we felt very comfortable there. We were hungry the first night so took the bread (yes extra charge) but did not take it the 2nd night. Definitely would go back if we were ever in that area again. read more

I wish I could agree with all the great reviews, but I was less than underwhelmed by La Bruschetta. I stopped in for a late lunch a few days ago and had a flavorless dish of pasta with tomatoes and basil. (There was just a sprig of basil perched on top.) But I cut the place some slack because it was clear that they'd just dealt with a big lunch rush--there were dirty plates, cups, and bottles piled up on several tables. Tonight, in a fit of laziness, I decided to give this place another try. (It's one of the closest restaurants to my hotel, so...) I walked up and asked for a to-go order of tagliolini with pesto and a caprese salad. I was ushered in to pay, and the amount on the register didn't tally with the total I'd calculated, so I repeated my order. He rang it up again--correctly, this time--and I was on my way in under 10 minutes. When I got back to my hotel room, I found that I did not get a caprese salad; instead, I had one container with a hunk of mozzarella in it and another container with a few slices of prosciutto, which I try to avoid. Sigh... And, while the flavor of the pesto was salty but fine, the pasta was really thick and undercooked. There's al dente, and there's just not cooked enough. This was definitely the latter. So disappointing. With so many restaurants within a few steps, it will be easy to give La Bruschetta a miss from now on. read more

You gotta know what you're getting into here. The food was actually pretty solid! Especially the Gnocchi, which was fantastic. Nightmarish service. Truly every aspect of the service was wrong or slow. We got the wrong food, and they didn't take our order for 30 minutes. We asked to place our order after waiting, and they still went inside and we waited even longer. We never got one item we ordered. The main course was wrong the first time. Really horrific. And a 12% service fee was included in the bill on top of it. The waiter was even mad at us for coming inside with our card because we were tired of waiting for the bill. So if you have all night to spend without a care, the food is solid! But we had a pretty rough experience on the whole. read more

Great food, good service. Went two days in a row for lunch! Try the limoncello spritz, you won't regret it.

Decent food - been in Rome for 3 days and Barcelona for 7 and the pizza here is moderately okay compared to other spots. The staff was friendly and service was on par. The espresso was BURNT - do not order. Also was way overcharged - city fee (IVA), bread fee (per person) and servizio fee. Food was priced okay but these extra hidden fees made it so expensive. read more

Service was alright and food was less than mediocre. Even thought it was not pricey, it is still not worth it

I liked this place so much I went twice during my week stay nearby. The service is super friendly. The Cacio de Pepe is divine. You can sit outside or in and both are lovely spaces. read more

Great food (pizza/pasta), great service! One of my all-time favorite restaurants! Will be going back in the near future! Mushroom/sausage pizza and fettuccine la ragu were both fantastic! read more

It's my first time in Rome and this restaurant did not disappoint! My family talked to the owners of the restaurant and they were so happy to have our business. They have a dessert case with tons of treats. The tiramisu is to die for! They have a brick oven where you can watch the chef making all of the pizzas. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who comes to Rome! read more

La Bruschetta - Tiramisu - Italian Near Me - Roma, 62

La Bruschetta is a hidden gem in Italy! One of the locals recommended it to us, but we were hesitant to go due to the sub-par reviews. It turned out to be so good that we went there several days in our trip! The service is excellent, and the food, especially the pasta, is great. It's also very family-friendly with the waiters/waitresses talking to the kids to check on how they are doing throughout the meal. The prices are also very reasonable, ranging from 10-20 euros for a main course dish. Overall this place is 10/10, would highly recommend! read more

4 1/2 stars. We dined here BC it was around the corner from the Marriott Grand Flora Hotel. By far the best pizza I enjoyed while vacationing in Rome. The capers, mozzarella and anchovies pizza was yummy but other entrees of veal and gnocchi with clams were both delish while dinning Al Fresco. We enjoyed the home made tiramisu for dessert which was creamy and rich. The service from the waiters were stellar both times we visited. Be sure to try the house red wine which is excellent and reasonable. read more

Three at the very best. We were looking for a lunch spot close enough to our hotel. Honestly we would have been better off going elsewhere. I know that the European was is to enjoy your food, but service was slow, even to take our orders. Kills me since the staff seem friendly. We ordered the smoked salmon bruschetta to share, and I got the mixed veggies pizza, and he got the spicy sausage pizza. We were brought a ton of bread and eventually were brought our olive oil and balsamic. The smoked salmon bruschetta was great with a nice hunk of mozzarella and the smoked salmon covering the whole piece of bread. It was slightly fishier though then most smoked salmon I've had. After awhile, both pizzas came out. We both enjoyed my mixed veggies pizza with zucchini, eggplant and bell pepper slices more than his spicy sausage. The veggies were marinated but I felt like the pizza needed some more oomph so I asked for some chili flakes as well. It was okay pizza but not a standout. Honestly, I prefer some of the Neapolitan pizza I've had back home and in NYC, and the spot we went to in Florence was much better. Each pizza yielded 6 slices and we brought some back to our hotel. The pizzas in my opinion were a little on the pricey side for the quality (around 12-14 Euros). But what kills me is, they threw our uneaten bread from our bread basket back in their bread bin. That's so gross! I don't want to be eating bread that others have touched or could have partially eaten. Maybe we got the wrong things and should have gotten entrees or pasta. I would give La Bruschetta a 2.5 but I'm rounding up to a generous 3. You can definitely find better spots for a meal in the area. read more

Everything was delicious. We ordered pizza, fish, ravioli, and cannelloni. Everyone was happy with their dishes. Highly recommend for the price! read more

This place is around the corner from the hotel we stayed in. They are pretty much open all day. They have a large menu. The pizza is fresh and made to order and was delicious. They offer free WiFi, so it is a cool place to go have some pizza and wine and just hang out. The bread is so good and they offer a lot of different desserts. They also offer pasta making classes (they have a classroom next door). read more

La Bruschetta - Mozzarella sausage mushrooms - Italian Near Me - Roma, 62

This was probably my husband's favorite place to eat. We ate here twice. The pizza was very good. The caprece was excellent. The second time we had it with smoked mozzarella. Oh my goodness, that was so good. The service was stellar. We thought about trying another place, but decided why risk it when everything was so good here. We did venture out of their pizza menu to try cannoli stuffed with veal. I was not disappointed. After walking around Rome in the heat it was nice to find this awesome restaurant near our hotel. read more

Careful! This places has several sneaky charges including a 12% "servizzio" charge and a 2.20 euro charge per person for basic bread. Food is great, but just go in with your eyes open:) read more
