    We were pooped and hungry after our workout during our coliseum and Palantine Hills tour and hubby found this place on Google with 50k reviews. The line was constant! Finally short when we left around 3 pm. But worth the wait. Took us about 40mins to get seated inside with AC! Yay! Service was excellent! Our server Kevin was great! The pastas were amazing! Especially with the side of burrata. Loved my pesto with clams and burrata! So subtle and the texture of the pasta was almost udon like. Hubs had the spaghetti and meatballs and then Kevin told him to steal some of my burrata. We decided to try the chicory and it was delicious, kinda like the Chinese red spinach. The pizza was amazing. Thicker crust than the first one we had. Added panna cotta to our collection of desserts. So smooth and creamy. Yum! They had a meloncello here that was delicious and creamy. Apparently you sip this versus taking the limoncello as a shot. Interesting. The lemon sodas are so good too! Definitely check this place out when in Rome! Oh, it's an older place with just one bathroom, so at one point the line was almost as long as the line to get in lol.

    We went there for lunch after hearing great recommendations. The place was quite busy, with a line forming as soon as we arrived. Not sure if it was intentional, but the cellular service was very slow, and even though WiFi was available, the internet connection wasn't great as it was only good enough to check the menu. We ordered a few dishes to share: the tuna pizza and seafood pasta were both excellent. However, the ham and melon appetizer was a bit disappointing, the melon lacked flavor (not sure if it was honeydew or cantaloupe). The tiramisu, on the other hand, was delicious, we loved it so much that we ordered a second one! We ended our meal with some meloncello, which was a nice touch. Also, our server Kevin was really friendly and attentive.

    Food: 4.5/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 It was raining and I didn't want to travel far for dinner anymore so decided to give this place a try even I was worried if it's gonna be bad because given how close this place is to all the attractions around here. When I got there around 7pm and light rain outside, line is already there. I had to wait about 35 minutes (if you want to sit outside, the wait time is faster). I ordered house white wine to start and for main dishes caprese salad, chef fantasy sea (seafood pasta with white sauce) and gnocchi with ragu and pesto. Portion for seafood pasta was ok but Gnocchi was in good portion with a lot of meat. If I have to pick one, I would still choose seafood pasta. Finished up with tiramisu. It was very delicious. Overall experience was great and highly recommended.

    If you are in Rome you need to eat here! My family and i originally had planned to eat at another restaurant but because we were far from it we decided to give this place a try. When we arrived we waited only a few minutes before we got a table. We were lucky because by the time we left there was a really long line outside. We sat inside in a comfortable corner table which I loved because it felt more private. The restaurant is small so most of the tables are close to each other. Another thing to mention is that since the restaurant is really old they only have one bathroom and the line can get long. Besides that everything there was perfect. Now for the best part! The food! Everything was exquisite! My mouth is watering just thinking of it. I ordered their carbonara pasta which was the best I had in Rome. My son ordered a diavola pizza (pepperoni pizza) I had a slice of it and it was delicious. My husband's steak was also great. After lunch our waiter brought over a shot of meloncello which was the perfect way to end our lunch.

    Limoncello digestive- on the house

    I would recommend getting here right when it opens or you'll have to wait at least half an hour. The staff is very nice and efficient. We ordered a limoncello spritz to drink, carbonara and cacio e pepe for entrees, and panna cotta for dessert. Limoncello Spritz- Cold and refreshing with a lovely lemon flavor. Perfect drink for a hot day! Carbonara- Their house made pasta is so good! The sauce is rich and flavorful and you get plenty of crispy pancetta pieces. Cacio E Pepe- Once more, the pasta is top notch. The sauce is creamy and cheesy with a generous amount of black pepper that gives the dish its distinct flavor. Panna Cotta- Milky and creamy. It's a simple dessert but does the job after a savory meal. Great experience overall!

    Interestingly - Yelp hasn't quite found this place the way Google Reviews and Trip Advisor has. This place is very well known and referred - expect a 30+ minute wait. Our group of five all loved their various pasta dishes in fact, we were hunting for the Americanized white Alfredo pasta. The chefs here knocked it out of the park (note you can have it plain, with chicken, or with chicken and mushrooms). Final thing of note - they are actively pursuing reviews - so they can great care of their customers. Our night ended with a digestiv of house made meloncello!

    Carbonara - quite possibly the worst carbonara I've ever had
    Melissa P.

    Despite the high Google reviews and line that formed early for dinner, I would not recommend this restaurant. Came with a colleague, I got the carbonara and she got the diavola pizza. Both were quite poor. Service was fine, but this is definitely a tourist trap with a facade of good reviews on google.

    On googles this place has 80k+ reviews 4 stars, but I guess it's the expectation wait and a hot day walking around still felt underwhelming unfortunately. It was good but I was expecting great. Pastas wasn't bad but the clam pasta still had sand it's not unacceptable but just expected more. If you live in L.A. and been to Uvovo than you'll be deeply disappointed. Uvovo is actually better.

    We went late in the afternoon to have lunch. There was a small line in front of us but it moved quickly. It was such a nice day and luckily we got a table outside. We ordered the Diavola Pizza, Pasta with Burrata and Smoked Salmon, Pistachio Tiramisu, a beer and house wine. The smoked salmon pasta was so good! But the star of the show was the Pistachio Tiramisu and it was presented beautifully in little moka pots! They also give everyone a complimentary shot of meloncello cream afterwards. The servers are very attentive and friendly.

    Gnocchi with meat sauce
    May T.

    We came here to eat dinner and this place was busy and waited for 30-40minutes. Food- we ordered Insalata Caprese- salad, tomato, and mozzarella cheese. It was good with soft cheese and fresh tomatoes as appetizer. We also ordered pasta con Le Vongole e pesto- Pasta with clams and pesto. This dish had salty flavor with seafood sauce that was well seasoned. Another dish we got was Gnocchi con Ragu e pesto- Gnocchi with bolognese sauce and pesto. This dish was so good with gnocchi that was light, soft, and had smooth texture that melted in my mouth. Bolognese sauce was perfectly seasoned and it tasted great with gnocchi. Service was great and all the staff were friendly and explained few dishes for us when we asked them. The portions of the main dishes were a lot for me to eat. So they were generous with their food portions. Tables were small and not enough area to walk around. So must be careful not to hit other peoples tables when walking in or out. I think because they were busy and a lot of people were waiting outside for dinner and they had to make room for everyone who wanted to eat. Otherwise, everything that I ordered tasted good with great portions for their price. Highly recommend this restaurant if you are ever in Rome.

    Bistecca (the steak) was fine, they did the best they could with the cut of meat. Veggies, like the steak were "okay"
    Maddie P.

    Service was EXCELLENT! Ambiance was warm and inviting. Meatballs in tomato sauce and margarita pizza were good. Steak was mediocre, bad cut of meat did the bet they could with it. Carbonara was like bad American Mac and cheese. House wine (red and white) and Chianti were adequate. Uber to the area by Trevi for better meals at better price. Skip the cantaloupe shot at the end...

    Pasta fresca al pesto
    Adam C.

    Best dinner we had in Rome!! I got the Diavola pizza and it was amazing. One of those brick oven style flatbread pizzas but man, it was phenomenal. The cheese beneath the spicy salami on two of the pieces from the middle wasn't quite melted all the way but even so, the flavors and textures were perfect. The crust was cooked perfectly, not too thin and not too thick, generous tomato sauce and plenty of cheese to make each bite incredibly satisfying. Mom got the Pasta fresca al pesto and she loved it! I tried a few bites and the pesto flavor was insanely good! And after seeing photos online, we had to try the Nutella and Pistachio Tiramisu and oh my gosh I'm so glad we did because it was the most amazing dessert ever!! The soft cake at the bottom mixed with the nutella and pistachios was heaven. This place is worth the visit even if you only get that dessert. It was pretty busy when we arrived but thankfully there was a table for us so we didn't have to wait. It was fairly loud inside but considering the close quarters between tables and how it was mostly full, that makes sense. Our waiter was friendly and helped explain a few different pasta dishes to my mom. And they even surprised us each with a shot of Limoncello on the house! But as someone who doesn't drink, that was some powerful stuff. Overall, this place was amazing and I HIGHLY recommend it. Definitely a must stop for dinner if you're exploring Rome. The pizza, pasta, and dessert were all so amazing and delicious and I would eat here again in a nanosecond.

    There was a little line went we arrived so we waited about 15 minutes to get seated. Service was very good. The pastas and lasagna were so good! I would definitely go back for those. However were didn't like the pizza. It had a lot of thick cheese which I don't enjoy. We like more of the Neapolitan pizzas so it was a miss for us on that, but I highly recommend the pastas and lasagna.

By the time we were seated, dozens of people were waiting behind us. We sipped an Aperol spritz and lemonade while we waited, chatting with fellow diners who raved about the restaurant. On a sweltering day, our kids were starting to struggle in the heat when the owner came outside and gave them mini pizzas breads. It was a thoughtful gesture that immediately made us feel welcome. Once seated, we ordered burrata, cacio e pepe, amatriciana pasta, pork chops, and fried artichokes. Everything was excellent, but the amatriciana was the standout--rich, savory, and unforgettable. The cacio e pepe was silky, the burrata fresh and creamy, the pork chops juicy, and the fried artichokes perfectly crisp. There's a reason people line up for Da Enzo. The food is exceptional, the atmosphere lively, and the hospitality remarkable. Without question, this was our best meal in Rome and one of our most memorable restaurant experiences.

The tomatoes were fresh and juicy but the burrata was a bit thick (referring to the outer aspect). Also the bread was a bit tough. The amatriciana was good, but not worth a 2 hour wait in a line, 7.5/10. Pasta was perfectly al dente, but the sauce wasn't anything to die for. I think you can get a very similar possibly better pasta in Rome without the wait. My girlfriend got the gnocchi pasta, which she said was a 7/10. The gnocchi was great, but again the sauce wasn't anything special Tiramisu, 10/10. This was amazing. It was sweet without being overpowering. The ladyfingers weren't soggy, and had that strong espresso taste. I would come back here just for this dessert. Also if you don't like cramped spaces, probably not the best spot. I could hear the people next to me better than I could hear the person across me haha.

Even though there was a bit of a wait, it was absolutely worth it once we were seated. The staff was friendly and attentive despite how busy the restaurant was. You could tell they were working hard to make sure everyone had a good experience.

    We chose this restaurant because of its outstanding trip advisor rating (4.8 stars with over 4,000…read morereviews), so we were expecting an amazing meal. Unfortunately, it ended up being one of the most disappointing meals of our trip to Rome. I want to start by saying the staff was wonderful--everyone was incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive. We have absolutely no complaints about the service. The food, however, was very underwhelming. The Margherita pizza was undercooked, with dough that was still soft and not fully baked. The chicken dish tasted more like a simple stew and lacked flavor, and the lasagna was just average. Another red flag was that all of our food arrived within about five minutes of ordering, which made it seem like everything had been pre-made rather than freshly prepared. We rarely leave negative reviews, especially when the staff is so friendly, but we chose this restaurant specifically because of its exceptional reviews. I think it's only fair to share our honest experience so other travelers have realistic expectations. While the service was excellent, the food simply didn't live up to the reputation.

Being new to Rome, and having walked 20k steps on our first day, there are an abundance of options a for dining. We wanted something classically Rome nearby to our hotel. The Yelp review of this restaurant was sufficiently positive to entice us. Being American, we appreciate the earlier-than-customary dining options. We arrived at 6pm without a reservation. We were seated immediately. The restaurant is intimate and very well staffed. The wood fire oven is front-and-center and the fresh mozzarella is prominent in display. We ordered a bottle of wine ... all options are very fairly priced. This is nice. We started with a Greek salad to share. It was unlike any American Greek salad ... and a really delight. It is early June but the tomatoes and peppers were ripe and crisp and really fresh. My wife ordered the Marguerite pizza; I opted for the Gorgonzola pizza (the effusive review on Yelp was compelling). Both were solid. We appreciate the thin crust and the crisp edged. The center of both, however, was doughy and somewhat undercooked. Looking around ... the restaurant was over 50% full even at this early hour. Most were Americans. We saw a good number of diners with pasta dishes ... and none were left unfinished. Sadly, we don't have any comparisons to weigh (yet). So, I cannot affirm any "best of" citations, it this is certainly a solid trattoria/pizzeria. The staff are attentive and the food served hot and fresh.

My lovely wife got a Norwegian salmon pizza. The Norwegian salmon was stacked up high on her pizza As if she was in the World Series of Poker and she was a big winner. I have never seen so much salmon on one plate. After our meal, I made a discreet phone call to the Norwegian embassy in Rome asking them if they still had any salmon left. The woman at the embassy assured me the Norwegian salmon supply was fine. That surprises me given all the salmon that was on my wife's pizza.
