Fair pricing, nice ambiance, mediocre pasta. Service was friendly and quick. I came alone, sat outside, and only had the wild boar ragu (papparadelle al ragù di cinghiale) which I previously had tried, loved, and could not find again in Canada. So I was quite excited to come across this dish again in Rome. The pasta was perfectly al dente and portion sizes leaned towards large for roman standards, but the sauce was bland and the flavours of the meat didn't really come through well. It felt more like a home meal than restaurant fare, and the one I had in Canada was miles better. I also ordered a cappucino (€3) which was creamy and fantastic. When paying the bill, I saw that they had a fresh-looking appetizer buffet offered inside the restaurant. Had I seen that, I would have opted to try that instead as there was a large variety of unique items available. I didn't get the opportunity to come back to try the appetizer buffet but would definitely do so next time.
The service was excellent. The food was the best around. The Cacio e Pepe pasta was amazing. 10/10 recommend if visiting Rome.
Love the interior of this place. Very beautiful and welcoming. Lots of food selection to choose from. Great for large groups. My tour guide took our group to this spot to celebrate our last night together. I ordered 2 pastas because I wanted to try them both! I got the fettuccine alla papalina and tagliolini cacio de pepe. Both were so delicious. Fresh pasta made in-house. Living my dream to be able to eat pasta in Rome, Italy!! Last but not least, dessert! I finished it off with some coppa di gelato. The flavors were banana, pistachio, and strawberry. All were so smooth and creamy. Yum. I recommend this spot when in Rome!
Came here on recommendation from a friend. The restaurant is pretty large, with the usual indoor + outdoor seating. We opted for indoor. One thing that stood out is how massive the menu is, so many options! We got the grilled octopus as the appetizer. The octopus was cooked perfectly, with a good char on the outside. However, the yellow sauce was really salty. I had to scrape it off of the octopus. I also got a manhattan for the drink, which they gave in a massive cup. I got the cacio e pepe as the main dish. The noodles were very al dente, more so than I'm used to. Other than that, the pasta was very good and tasty. I don't think they used cream, but I'm also not sure. I'd definitely come back, but I think I'd try something else like the lasagna (which the table beside us got, and which looked amazing). Overall, great value and flavor!
Enjoyed a post touring day dinner with the hubs here. Favorites were lasagna, roasted chicken and potatoes. Highly recommend the tourista tasting menu at the back.
Looking for a place near Termini for dinner. La Familia was Superb! Great food, reasonable prices, inviting environment, We had a liter of wine, bruschetta and pasta ....all for $49! Wow! That includes gratuity. My pasta was super! Yum!
Very good food and great service. We did not have a reservation but they were able to accommodate us on a Saturday night. Good atmosphere
Wow!! Wow and wow again! La Famiglia is an amazing friendly restaurant with delicious food. A friend of mine recommended that we come here for dinner tonight and it was nothing short of amazing! To start the selection of items were right on with a mix of salads, soups, lasagna, pasta, wine, and desserts! The portions--wow, for the amount you are paying I was definitely expecting less in size, but I got the opposite! The portions were of great size that matched the price right on--wow! I ordered their broccoli and lasagna special. Both were super yummy and ended up being combined with some peppers and olive oil! Another wow! I had a couple of bites before my stomach told me "no more". This will definitely be my breakfast or early lunch! Also, the service--wow--George was our server and he was nothing short of sweet, helpful, and kind! And this is a major reason I plan to come back tomorrow at 16! Yes, tomorrow, because the food was just that awesome!! They not only have a menu, but a buffet as well. I am not a huge buffet fan, but their buffet looked beautiful, fresh, and diverse--everything from chicken wings to eggplant to pasta--looked super yummy!! I cannot wait to come back, see George, sip on some amazing white wine, and eat!
In my opinion this was the best lasagna I've ever eaten. It's been almost a year since I was here and just now posting the review and that's simply because for the life of me I couldn't remember the name of this place. We ate here our first night in Rome. The service was stellar and so was the ambiance. I would definitely recommend this place over and over again. Job well done!
Best dinner we've had in Rome and we've had all good meals. This food and service was amazing. If you are in the area do yourself a favor and eat here!
We loved this spot!! We were in Rome for a few days and this spot was recommended to us by another traveler. We were so pleasantly surprised we went back again and again. Ate there everyday. We had the lasagna, spaghetti , spaghetti carbonara, pizza, wine, every dessert on the menu (tiramisu was my favorite) and it was all SO delicious. And the prices were the best anywhere. Cannot wait to go back to Italy just to eat here
We had a pleasant and very affordable meal for 4 with house wine and water for about 100 Euros including service. We ate outside but there were tables inside with A/C. The menu had multiple languages including English. It was an easy walk from our hotel and from the termini station. It's an extensive menu and we enjoyed all the dishes we ordered.
The food here is great. Well made, hot and delicious. The orecchiette with broccoli and sausage was amazing. The roasted veal was soft and tender; very delicious. And the roasted potatoes were cooked well. The Italini cocktails were delicious. My favorite was the one made with gin, bitters, and Prosecco. Sitting outside was nice. It was clean covered and a great way to experience some Italian vibe. The service at the beginning was great, but once that waiter left or took a break the others were not up to par. Decent but lacking. Not a bad service, just not as well as the original waiter. read more

Kind of a miss tbh..... everything was SO SALTY. this was our first bite in Italy and while it initially hit, I was absolutely parched by the end of the meal. The rigatoni was v good but sooo heavy of a dish. The clam/mussel pasta was lighter but why was it still so salty??????? Everything was cooked a bit too al dente imo. Aperol spritz were delicious tho. The ladies next to us were def taking a while w their dinner and the owner(?) basically yelled at them that their time was up and they needed to leave. Super close seating that you're pretty much sharing a table with another group. Don't love that read more

very efficient service, very friendly manager, and extremely foreign-er friendly. it's close to rome's main train terminal, so it's a convenient place for food. the prices match the quality of food! it is definitely not the authentic italian restaurant experience, but not a waste of your time and money read more

Wanted to give 2 stars but gave it 3 because they did have great lasagna. Our hotel recommended this place, which was very convenient since it was across the street. I looked up their Yelp reviews as I usually do and it looked very promising. Prices were great, lasagna was delicious, but their " Spaghetti allá Carbonara" was extremely disappointing. We all know carbonara should be creamy.. A sauce created by stirring the egg mixture into the pasta quickly enough to cook the egg, making sure it's not too hot to make it curdle or scramble the egg. By the looks of our picture, this "spaghetti allá carbonara" was obviously not creamy. We were basically served pasta with scrambled eggs. When we told our waiter that it was over cooked, his response was "oh no, that is how it should be, otherwise it would be raw". He obviously thought we were not familiar with the dish. Most restaurants would have taken it back or apologized, but they did nothing. On a brighter note, despite the horrible spaghetti, mediocre service, the lasagna was honestly delicious. read more

Came on a busy Saturday night and they seated us faster than the surrounding places would've. The prices were great and the food was delicious! Would recommend if you're looking for a not-too-fancy place with quality Italian food! read more

I've been to Roma many times and this is my favorite spot in the Termini area. I've seen lots of comments about slow service, the place seems to be crazy busy most of the time, but I had a great experience, seated right away and very attentive waiter. Had to ask for "il conto per favori" (the check please) but that is the norm in Europe. Prices were extremely reasonable and portions were ample. I had an Aperol spritz (€5) that was lovely, ask for extra ice if you like more than a couple cubes, also typical in Europe. I ordered the tortellini Famiglia (meat tortellini with a tomato cream sauce, ham, peas and mushrooms) €8 and the funghi tartufo (truffled mushrooms) €3 which were practically a religious experience! I ordered bread, a €1 charge for 1 person but it was well worth it and easily would feed 2-3 people, they put it in foil for me to take away and I did because it was THAT good as I did with the mushrooms! I must stress the prices are fantastic for the quality and quantity of food. They have some kind of buffet, various antipasti that looked amazing, I was a little intimidated on a first visit but will definitely try it on my next trip. There's also a prix fixe menu for €16 that looked like a ton of food and great quality but be hungry if you're choosing that 3 course epic ;-) Desert menu looked great but no way I could fit that in after such a spectacular dinner! This is a terrific find for me and I will be here again for sure. About a 5-7 min walk from Termini station. read more

The 4 stars is mainly for the food, since I'm a little confused about the service, so let's start with that. We asked our hotel for a recommendation of good food that isn't going to break the bank. So far, we had only been to mediocre places that we felt catered to tourists but really lacked any flavor and not once had we said "that was A-mazing". We think this place was recommended after us being in the hotel for two days because we built a relationship with the front desk staff and when we arrived to this restaurant it was PACKED and we were the only non-Italian speaking table there, which is when we knew this place was about to kill the flavor game and what we have been waiting to experience in Italy (note: we are one day 5 total, 3 in Venice and now 2 in Rome). When we were sat, they sat us at the only table not set and we didn't see a waiter for roughly 10-12 minutes. As a former server at restaurants in the US myself, I finally closed my menu and slid the menu up the table and that is when he arrived for our order. After we placed our order, the waiter returned with silverware and napkins and quickly set those down and was off again. Towards the end of our meal, the place empties out (it's now about 3:30pm) and when our waiter returned, he noticed my fiancé's shirt from Maui Brewing (I know, super American...) that reads "Hi, I like you" with a palm tree. The waiter loved his shirt and stopped to talk to us about where we are from and a little more about the US and Rome. My confusion with the service is st the beginning; he was probably incredibly busy at the beginning and the guy looked like he had the whole back section to himself, but we watched him be much more personal with other tables so we weren't sure what to make of this. Moving on to the food. THE FOOD! I had yet to get tortellini and ordered with minced meat and red sauce. I also ordered minestrone with pasta and my fiancé ordered an artichoke and salami pizza and an artichoke done Roman style. We made it 4 bites into each dish and were sold. We finally landed in a great Italian food spot! The flavors from each dish were plentiful, the pasta was cooked perfectly, the pizza was delicious and cooked just right and this big artichoke done Roman style? Amazing. I had no idea what this was and what we cut into it and saw the herbs in the center and took our first bite and could taste every flavor, I was blown away and absolutely recommend this dish. The food made us forget about our waiter at the beginning, but maybe he was just so busy? Anyways, the food was outstanding and we already know we'll be back tomorrow. read more
