What else could you want for your last dinner in Rome, and of your whole Italy trip, than a couple of indulgent and delicious pastas: cacio e pepe and bucatini alla ammatriciana? Probably just a very cold limoncello to finish of the meal as you reminisce with your friend over a fantastic vacation while sitting in a pretty side street of Rome. read more

The only good I got here was the waitress who unfortunately I didn't take her name. The service was slow, food warm not hot, and what was worse is they gave us our leftovers in a dirty bag, why would you give us a dirty bag?? I spent little over $80 euros and you give me a dirty bag? WOW ruined the whole experience for us. Borsa sporca e sì, parlo italiano read more

Given the classy, high-end aura to this restaurant, the prices were relatively cheaper than expected. The meal started off with prosecco on the house. Three of us ordered the spaghetti with lobster, which was only €20! It came with a full plate of pasta and half a lobster. The others in our party ordered the frutti di mare, lasagna, and gnocchi. All of the food was exceptional! Service on the other hand was a bit slow, but it was a full house so it was fine. If you are around Piazza Navona, this place is worth the five minute walk! read more

This place had fantastic servers, great atmosphere and the food was amazing. Had the carpase ensalada, beef carpaccio, prosciutto de Parma con mozzarella di bufala which all were all outstanding bellissimo Followed by the lasagna con Bolognese and gnocchi al la sorrento which were both fresh and flavorful. Lastly the tiramisu and pistachio cheesecake were to die for. The servers were attentive gave great recommendations, feisty and fun. I highly recommend getting reservations as this is a small, intimate restaurant that caters to the locals and not tourist. read more

Great food, good service, good ambience! After reading all the good reviews on Yelp, my husband and decided to go there for dinner. It was soooo good that the next day we had to go back for lunch! We tasted several things and every single one of them was delicious! I would say Bruschetta al Pomodoro is a must try! Then my favorite was Bucatini all Amatriciana. Make sure you make a reservation or go there earlier, since the place gets packed pretty fast! read more

Great selection, inexpensive, loved the ambiance! Highly recommend to try the lunch special, the penne pasta was filling and the dessert was great :) read more

This place was really good!! They started us off with complimentary sparkling white wine which was a lovely touch. The outside seating was nice but was quite the wait (this was at 7pm) so we decided to dine inside, which was not bad either! The feel of the restaurant is romantic and we really enjoyed dining here! We got the house white wine which was a nice, lighter wine that we enjoyed very much. We also got the tiramisu and strawberry cheesecake which were served in nice individual portions in square bowls. Both desserts tasted great! Only complaint is that the service was a little slow at times but not slow enough to be upset. We have grown used to poor service in Italy and it didn't bother us. read more

We came here for dinner. Apparently we need reservations but it didn't seem to busy. They got us a table for two inside. The photos on yelp look amazing, so we wanted to try this place. The food is actually amazing. They give you a complimentary proseco, which is nice. I recommend this restaurant to everyone! We would come back here again if it was open on Sunday! Also the price is decent. We also had two glasses of wine, plus all that food for 73 euro. We been to other restaurants and it was not that great and the bill was way more. read more

First disappointment in Rome. We decided to go after checking this places Yelp rating and boy could we have been more wrong. We were seated outside because there weren't any seats available, understandable especially if you are a busy restaurant. A very kind gentleman took our order. The biggest problem was our waitress who was extremely rude to a point where we thought she was just going to throw our dishes to our faces. When asked for the WiFi password, she didn't even have the courtesy to check it on my phone, just said something in Italian angrily and left. Our risottos were below average, sad because this place was at the top when I wrote risotto on Yelp search. I've had the mushroom risotto and it was subpar. Please, if you have any other options don't check this place out. If you are into rude staff and mediocre food, this place might suit you though. read more

Can't complain! The restaurant is a cozy place right between the buildings. They have reservations that can easily be made online & food that is simply good. My date and I got the Risotto w/ Mushrooms and the Steak that had truffle sauce. Both were very good dishes, and the Pinot Grigio helped set the meal right. Quick, easy, and a nice dinner between the two of us. read more

We went here for my wife's birthday. This is a white linen joint (I have always wanted to say that) but the service is semi-casual but attentive enough. I had a mix of seafood (shrimp, large prawn, sea bass and squid) and my wife had pasta with black truffles. We had a bottle of good Chianti (they were out of liver and fava beans, but eh...). Everything was well prepared and nicely presented. We recommend it. read more

What an amazing way to spend our last night in Rome! This place is definitely worth your visit (hopefully more than once), as this is not your regular tourist trap restaurant. From the moment my wife and I got there, we were warmly greeted by the host, received an outstanding service followed by the BEST meal from our entire trip, and all while seating outside by the heater. Could not have asked for better way to end the night. The Tavern 48 definitely deserves all the amazing reviews it's got here. I'll make sure to come back next time I'm in Rome! read more

A decend Italian restaurant. The tables inside are few and cramped together so closely it is almost uncomftorable. you may lack privacy and have to manuver your way through. The food ranged from decent to very good and the service was above average. The place cancelled my quandoo reaervation 20 minutes prior, so make sure to reserve by phone. Got a table anyway, but that was a bit unpleasent. A good experience overall, though. read more

Disappointed. Food didn't live up to this Yelp rating, nor did the service (from speed to the Caprese where we they forgot to provide balsamic). We had better meals at half the price. read more

Highly recommend La Tavernetta 48! We were looking for a place with delicious bolognese and their lasagna rendition did NOT disappoint! Our waitress was fantastic and we spent 3 hours here, could have stayed all night. We enjoyed the mussels and clams, as well as the bruschetta al pomodoro for our appetizers. I wish I could go back right now!! read more

We came here for my fiancé's birthday dinner our first night in Rome. It was the best restaurant of our stay! We split 3 pasta dishes and everything came out on two different plates already split which was a nice surprise (that almost never happens in NY!) We ordered gnocchi in a read sauce (our favorite) cacio de pepe, and carbonara. All were great and it was very reasonably priced. It was way less than I would have spent on a nice birthday dinner back home in upstate NY so I got off easy! :) read more

Delicious food, good service. We had a great bottle of wine to share, and enjoyed some delicious bruschetta as an appetizer. The tomatoes were beautiful and fresh! I had cacio e pepe and my husband had the lasagne. Unforgettable, and inspired us to try making cacio e pepe at home. Tiramisu of course for dessert. Would highly recommend!! read more

3 stars for food, but 4 stars for lunch value. 15€ for water, 1/4 carafe of house wine, a choice from 3 primi piatti, and a choice from 3 secondi. Not a bad deal at all and a wonderful atmosphere to boot. I got the saffrom risotto with crispy Parma ham, but it lacked much flavor. Then I had the grilled sea bream, which was crispy & delicious, if a small serving. Again, can't complain for the price. Lovely outdoor atmosphere, clean restrooms, friendly service. read more

Came all the way from Piazza di Spagna because of all the great yelp reviews, but the food was really not worth the walk... First of all, we've waited a while for the food. The appetizer came pretty fast but the main course took a bit of wait. Secondly, the food... I ordered the special truffled pasta, which was ok. My friend got the sea food linguine pasta. While the dish name was "seafood", besides pasta there were really just a few clams and mussels. No squid, no shrimps. And the clams were NOT FRESH. They didn't smell great when the dish came, and there were sands in almost every clam... Lastly, the pasta was UNDERCOOKED. I tried my friend's linguine and it was hard for me to chew and swallow. Overall, the price was not high in Rome and the service was good. But the food, at least the dishes we tried, was not worth going. There are definitely better Italian places here with the same price range. read more

Kudos to the chef! Lobster spaghetti was tasty, grilled seafood was great, the steak that we ordered meat was a bit hard for medium. We treated ourselves with desserts and it didn't fail us. The pretty server was not too helpful guide us inside the restaurant but didn't even tell us where to sit so we sat ourselves lol. I had to get another's servers attention for us to get a menu, not good. I would comeback here again and order the lobster spaghetti, grilled seafood but skip on the steak and hope to get a better service. read more

To be honest it was Meh. You can find better food and cheaper. Small portions and not a lot of flavor. I got Lasagna which with watery sauce and unseasoned meat. My bf got literally 4 cheese raviolis. He was so mad and so hungry after lmao After coming here my bf and I were pissed that we didn't go try out the restaurant across from it in front of the farmers market. read more

Simply put, it was one of the best dining experiences of my life. In fact, we went with 3 other couples, and they all agree. The food was phenomenal and the service even better. I highly recommend trying this quaint spot if you get the chance. From the pasta to to the seafood to the steak to the deserts, everything was top notch! read more

Really good food but they run a scam on non-Italians so beware. They will tell you that you need cash because their machine is down. It isn't, they tell you to go to a nearby ATM where you will get hammered on the exchange. Total bummer to watch the people the table over told they need to come inside to pay by card in Italian. read more

A little off the beaten track but would 10/10 recommend to anyone in the area. The food is fresh, flavorful and delicious. The portions are the perfect size. The restaurant is small with only two rooms fitting about 20 people in each, so if you're going during main dinner hours, you should call for a reservation. The best part is, besides the food, you get a free glass of champagne once you're seated! Who doesn't like that after a long day of touring! read more

My aunt visits Rome often for work and dines at this establishment often. I can see why. Upon sitting down you are given a glass of prosecco (cheers!). We ordered the smoked fish as our antipasti and I had the seasonal truffle pasta as my dinner. All of the food was fantastic and well priced for dining in Rome. The restaurant is tucked away so it is peaceful dining al fresco. read more

Tried it for lunch this week in Rome on a very hot day. They had a portable A/C unit in the sidewalk hooked up to an electric fan to blow cool air on our sidewalk table, which was very pleasant albeit not environmentally good policy. Food was OK. Service was definitely OK minus though I guess the team could be given a little slack since they were working in hot conditions. Overall, we're not about to rush back -- too much excellent competition. read more

I only have two things to say about this place that make it absolutely worth your time in Rome: crema de tartufo and 8€ carafes of wine. The truffle sauce they used on our pasta dish was life changing. Not to mention this place is tucked back away from tourists on a cute little street worth exploring. We debated coming back the next night for dinner because it was that good. read more

Food was very good service was also excellent. I had a linguine with shrimp and the linguine very freshly made and the shrimp was delicious. My girlfriend had the eggplant Parmesan which she really liked. Even though the eggplant Parm was delicious it was not enough for a complete meal. We also ordered the house red wine which was fantastic. For desert we had creme brulee and it was very good. read more

This was a fantastic dining experience. The food was exceptional, we had the salmon tartare, octopus ragu, and a special with prosciutto and black truffle. Our dinner started with complementary Prosecco and ended with complementary lemon cello. It was lovely to get away from the tourist traps of the main streets and relax with quality food and excellent service. Our waiter, Frederico, was knowledgeable and charming, we will definitely return during our trip! read more

First dinner at Rome, absolutely loved the place! We always yelp and read reviews before going anywhere, and this one remain the top on our list after 3 days in Rome going after both touristy areas and off the beaten path. Visited by locals and tourists alike. Quiet and friendly ambient,simple yet interesting menu. Flavors are well-balanced, service is great. Love their house wine too! read more
