We had Straccetti alla Roma (strips of beef with arugula, Parmesan, and cherry tomatoes--this was on the specials/alternative menu), Tonnarelli Amatriciana (my absolute favorite of the four Roman pasta sauces), Caprese salad, grilled vegetables, and a calzone with mozzarella, mushrooms, and sausage. Service was great, the ambiance was cozy and warm. Although it was steps away from very busy and touristy areas, I really felt this was not a tourist trap by any means. I had made a reservation, and I'm glad I did because this place got very bustling and busy even on a weeknight. I would happily return!

The restaurant was one block from our hotel so we decided to give it a try. We started with Caprese and it was very good. My wife had fried cod and fries and she enjoyed her meal. I had potato crusted fish and fried vegetables. Wow my food was great! We ate at another restaurant about a block away the night before and this was so much better. On top of that, it was a lot cheaper. I highly recommend this place.

After visiting Vatican City, we were hungry and searched on Yelp for a nearby place to eat --…read morethat's how we found Piacere Molise. I'll admit, when we first arrived, I almost didn't want to go in. There are no outdoor tables, no servers calling people in, and nothing flashy trying to grab attention. But that's exactly why this place is special. Once inside, we were so glad we stayed. The food was excellent -- simple, well-made, and full of real flavor. What we loved most is that the dishes tasted incredibly good without being overly salty or heavy, which really shows the quality of the ingredients and the care in the cooking. It's a true mom-and-pop shop, run with heart, not hype. This is the kind of place locals go to -- honest food, no gimmicks, and a calm, authentic atmosphere. If you're willing to look past first impressions, this spot is absolutely worth it. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates genuine Italian food done right.

You can tell everything is made with love and tradition -- no frills, just genuine Italian flavor at its finest. The service was kind and attentive, and the atmosphere felt cozy and welcoming, like you were dining in someone's home. It's the kind of place that makes you slow down, enjoy each bite, and soak in the local charm. If you're looking for a truly authentic, down-to-earth Roman meal, this is it. We would absolutely return!

We ordered several appetizers- prosciutto with mozzarella, mussels, and calamari. All were great. For entrees, we had pasta with truffles, fettuccine Gricia, grilled chicken and vegetables, Greek salad, oxtail stew, pasta bolognese, and spicy sausage pizza. Note that the pizza is very thin and crispy- Roman style. We enjoyed all the dishes-everything was delicious. Standout dishes were oxtail stew and pastas. The house wine was very good- a little sweet and a little dry. Prices are reasonable and portions are hearty. Overall, our waiter was the bright spot of our experience and made the dinner very memorable. I'd highly recommend checking out this hidden gem of a restaurant!

The bufala pizza is AMAZING and unlike anything I have ever tried in America. I will make my sad attempts to recreate it, but nothing is better than the real thing.

I will be back here next time I am in Italy! First time, we were staying in Piazza Novona, so it was pretty close, but the second time we booked it for 35 minutes in 90 degree weather to go there.

FOOD - Fresh, well-seasoned, tasty, enough so that everyone was stuffed by the time starters and entrees had come and gone ... and a couple of us still found room for excellent desserts. We had started with limoncello spritzes, which cooled us off nicely. A liter of the house red was perfect accompaniment for the food. SERVICE - We arrived almost a half-hour before our reservation time, and they didn't bat an eyelash. Our waiter was friendly, helpful, engaging, and attentive. Good job. AMBIANCE - Nice brick and stone interior, lending a sense of antiquities and class. NET-NET - I would come back here at the drop of a hat. It wasn't cheap, but more than worth it for what we got.

Both were every bit as incredible as we remembered: the pasta rich and full of flavor with pecorino and guanciale, and the pig perfectly tender and juicy with that irresistible crispy skin. Yumm! We started with the Crostino N'Duja, which was rustic, spicy, and the perfect way to kick off the meal. We also ordered a charcuterie plate. To finish, the lemon torte was bright, refreshing, and surprisingly, not too tart. It was exactly just the way we like it. Kevin's service was outstanding--warm, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful, which made the celebration feel even more special. We were given a couple of shots and a special cookie for my hub's birthday and after learning I am Filipino, he also offered us shots of his own special Ube liqueur. La Tavernaccia has truly become one of our favorite places in Rome, and we already can't wait to come back again to try something new that Kevin highly recommended - the Roasted Veal.
