A yummy thing happened on the way to the Colosseum …read more.. Pane & Vino is a tiny sandwich shop near il Colosseo that specializes in local porchetta (stuffed pork loin) and is run by the friendliest owner of all time. He gets to know every customer on a first name basis. I'd go back more to see him than to have a sandwich. Seriously, he's pretty awesome. The menu is simple and focused on sandwiches featuring their famous porchetta so we tried two recommendations from the peppy proprietor. While waiting, I got a miniature bottle of Chardonnay and my spouse sipped a Coke Zero. The Traiano Porchetta sandwich (12€ - 4 stars) is an original creation of the out-going owner with a mighty Mustard-flavored blend of Roast Pork, Sun-dried Tomatoes, and Grilled Eggplant. I like mustard and, therefore, liked this specialty much more than my wife, but we ended up ignoring portions of the so-so bun. Pane & Vino Special Porchetta (12€ - 4 stars) was a huge sandwich with the sliced Roast Pork Porchetta plus Mozzarella Cheese, Grilled Eggplant, Grilled Peppers, Mushrooms, Lettuce, and Mayo on classic Italian Pane. It needed more mayonnaise or a sprinkle of balsamic and olive oil for my tastes, but there was no denying it was a hearty hero. There are lots of pane bread and sandwich shops in Rome, but there is only one -- Pane & Vino -- run by the most welcoming of owners ever. If I'm in the neighborhood again, I'll be sure to stop in for a casual chat and some yummy porchetta sandwiches on the way to the Colosseum.

Best meal we had in Rome! " Ravioli with sage and brown…read morebutter, carciofi alla Romana, and a sublime appetizer of small tomatoes with basil and burrata, which I was reluctant to order because tomatoes in early January, when it's been pouring all week (the opposite of sun-ripened, feel me?) and also, the saddest caprese salad of my life had been on a previous trip to Rome in March. Happy to report this was the best caprese (or caprese variant) of my life. The bread was top notch too. Ditto the cheapest red wine on the menu. I'm a cheap date. We were originally seated by the front window, which was lovely, but the staff, apologizing profusely, realized they needed our table for a large party and moved us to the corner where we were next to a shelf of interesting books (my kind of atmosphere) and we had a fine view of the room - better than our original seats! The staff was friendly and professional, right down to the bus boy who helped my husband when he realized he was accidentally absconding with someone else's black umbrella from the increasingly large collection stashed at the back. Every time I had a less-than-inspired meal this trip, I was wishing I was back at Est.

Located just outside the historic city center near Piazza Navona (one of the busiest and most…read moretouristic zones in Rome), Il Corallo is a classic Roman pizzeria/trattoria with a slightly more polished exterior that hints at its popularity. Inside, the space is larger and more bustling than your typical small trattoria, with tightly packed tables and a lively dining room with old-fashioned stone walls and a rustic fireplace. The vibe is energetic and social: perfect for groups or a casual dinner with a bit of atmosphere. The menu is extensive, with pizzas, pastas, antipasti, and large-format appetizers, and there's also a long menu of daily specials that feature some more adventurous dishes (trippa alla romana, anyone?). The specials menu is in Italian, but our server was more than happy to clarify anything for us. Three of us opted for their pizzas, all of which seem to be the Romano style of a thinner and crispier crust (as compared to the Napoletano style of a thicker, fluffier crust). The Diavola (€9) is a simple pizza topped with a thin layer of cheese and savory pepperoni; the Margherita (€8) is your classic thin-crust strewn with fresh mozzarella, herbaceous basil, and a drizzle of olive oil. Lastly, my Broccoli e Salsiccia Pizza (€12) was a bit more "out there", with mozzarella, roasted broccoli rabe, and herbed sausage on a white base. I appreciated the novel flavor combination, but found the pizza overly greasy. Two members of our party tried their pasta options; the Spaghetti all'Amatriciana (€12) is al dente spaghetti with a bright, acidic tomato sauce, crispy bacon, and tangy Parmesan. The Cacio e Pepe (€12) is tonnarelli (egg pasta) served in a creamy, cheesy sauce with freshly ground black pepper, and Il Corallo's version comes in a delightful nest of crispy Parmesan. Il Corrallo falls into the affordable price range, offering solid value for a sit-down meal in central Rome. It's slightly off-the-beaten path but still just steps away from some of Rome's most famous destinations, serving up delicious food with friendly service; a definite recommendation if you're in the area!

A restaurant featuring very vegan friendly versions of Roman cuisine…read more Vegan friendly is not that common in Rome. They offer carnivorous versions as well for the people who are not thrilled about the prospects of soy cheese and tofu. My non-dairy-eating wife marveled at the huge selection of offerings she could have. She never could have gotten these Italian offerings at most other trattorias. * * * The actual pizza she got was no great thrills. She had not found El Dorado. But she had found lunch. There had been choice on the menu. * * * i ordered Gnocchi Sorrentina in a meat version. It would have been no better and no worse in a vegan version. Each individual gnocchi was like bubble gum. I chewed and I chewed and I chewed and I chewed. The sauce did not make endless chewing a gastronomic delight. * * * I would have gotten out of Origano like a bat out of hell. My wife strolled out of Origano like a fire elemental leaving hell. For her, the flames were not all that interesting. But they were not unpleasant either.

Well, everyone knows Italian dinners are laid back and for hours, and if you had reservations, why seat us! They took long to come and get our order which left us even shorter time to finish dinner.

At first the service was decent, attentive to our table of 2. Then a table of 10 arrives and our waiter completely forgets about us. Waited for approximately 25 minutes when he finally remembered we were sitting here. Completely made me lose my appetite and ruined our dinner. I understand the restaurant gets busy but currently there are 7 tables with customers. Now to the food, the fried seafood platter was on point and so was the fungi pizza! My fungi pasta was tasty. Still worth trying their food!!! Cozy and clean restaurant! The table next to us was waiting on their tiramisu for about 30 minutes soo, sadly to say, I do not recommend this restaurant based on their service solely.
