    We found this on Yelp. Chosen in post because it was close to our hotel (0.3 miles.) Food- so delicious. We haven't had bad food in Rome, but we loved it! House wines, both red and white, were wonderful. I couldn't stop raving about the white- my husband was shushing me!! When we asked our server if the tonarelli ragu bianca was good, he just chuckled a bit. "Yes, of course!" (It WAS!) What really made our night was the staff. When we asked about the wine, the older gentleman brought out the bottle and poured the rest into my glass. He was so funny- reminded me of an Italian Mr. Bean. Thank you for a wonderful dinner and evening!

    Cacio e pepe - 8.5/10 Noodleswere cooked perfectly. Great flavors!

    Service was fantastic. 2-3 people were taking care of us at all times. Cute little restaurant with nice outdoor seating. Food was great!

    Fantastic place! Beautiful inside, great food and better service. I had the Saltimbocca and my wife had the amatriciana - we shared a Suppli - all were amazing. Would definitely recommend and would definitely return again!!

    O.M.G. This place was recommended to us by our Airbnb host. Actually, we stayed right next door to this place and at first, was hesitant to try out the food. My husband and I ended up really enjoying it! Right from the get-go, we knew this had a "homey" vibe to it, more so than any place we ate at in Rome. It had locals eating here, even a whole family was seated behind us. The seafood was fresh, and very delicious, and they offer English printed menus. I highly recommend the Tiramsu as dessert' The first night, we ordered calamari with fried shrimp, risotto and some pasta with seafood cooked in oil, garlic and parmesan. The food was very delicious!The server was pretty young and we asked him to order wine for us but he did not disappoint! Both times that we went here, the wines went perfectly with our meal. Overall this was our favorite place in Rome, and it became our last dinner in this city. We're already looking forward to the next time we visit, so we can have more food!

    Good place to try italian pasta. The lasagna was the best. The staff is super friendly. Average price per person $17 (plate + shared antipasto)

    My mom wanted to try this restaurant after reading about this from one of her Chinese travel blogs. It's a bit of a trek away from most downtown Rome attractions (we found this out the hard way). When we got to Le Caveau around 6:30 pm on a weekday, it was mostly empty. The owner of the restaurant, a very kind old man, was our waiter and he suggested his favorite dishes on the menu. In fact, the overall service of Le Caveau was one of the best we ever had. We initially ordered the €35 seafood tasting menu and the €23 meat tasting menu. The dishes were all delicious, especially the seafood ones. My standouts include the shrimp risotto, pasta with clams, panna cotta (on fire!), and homemade tiramisu. However, my biggest complaint is that portions were quite small. We ended up also ordering a mushroom pizza to supplement dinner. Overall a good dinner experience, but the prices were a bit too steep in comparison to the food we got.

    We stumbled upon this restaurant what the one we had originally planned to go to was closed. Not sorry that we did, it was excellent! Such a nice surprise. We had the deep fried zucchini flowers, a Barolo fried steak and seafood taglionini, as well as a tomato salad side and tiramisu. Everything was lovely, fresh and perfectly cooked. The steak was so tender and the sauce was delish. Highly recommend this spot!

    This restaurant was right around the corner of my Airbnb and it was the perfect little dinner spot!! Even though it's on a busy street they've blocked it with a pretty terrace covered in vines and they've strung twinkle lights everywhere to make it really pretty!! Everyone was super friendly and I felt very comfortable. I ordered the bruschetta miste (4 different kinds) and fiori di zucca (fried zuchinni flowers). The four bruschetta were artichoke, nduja, tomato and cheese with anchovies. Very good all around!! Super great place!!

    We are in town for a few days, from New York. This was a definitely hidden gem. It's right around the corner from where we are staying at. We did the tasting menu for €35 which isn't bad at all. Our waiter was very accommodating. His name was Juliano. An elder man, who we did not catch his name, perfectly selected a bottle of white wine called frescati. He said it was made about 20 miles from that very area. It paired PERFECTLY with our meal!!! Light and crisp, not sweet nor bitter, it was just perfect! We enjoyed our experience very much so! Very nice people and awesome, delicious, a must try food they have! highly recommended! The appetizer was fried calamari, which was lightly battered. Some grilled calamari in a red sauce, which we BOTH LOVED. Seafood salad. Mussels that were perfectly marinated! Our guest was white wine, butter, and some secret ingredient that made it super tasty! And let me not forget the fresh oysters also which I didn't get to take a photo off since my boyfriend devoured it as soon as it arrived on the table! Also our waiter gave us a in house shot which was a housemade he said. "Grappa of plum with calabrese"

    Grappa

    Great sea food and even better service! All ingredients are fresh and full of flavor. If you are lucky they will offer their homemade drink - plum favored Grappa! What a treat!

Our hotel manager had suggested another restaurant, but I was apprehensive to try, but did later, more on that restaurant review in it's own post. I rather did what I should have done throughout the trip to, which is to search google for local reviews. This tactic I found to be much better than to trust American reviews for restaurants to visit from Youtube or even here, just because the American touristy taste tends to favor bland or Olive Garden style pseudo Italian. The real Italian taste is much different and something one needs to develop. I was familiar with European Italian food, as I had said before in other reviews that Mexico has better Italian food outside of Italy. Additionally, the good restaurants here in Italy do not open before 7 PM. If it does or if someone that looks foreign to Italy is outside trying to lure you in, it's a tourist restaurant with iffy flavor. At this restaurant my husband had the Lobster pasta and I had the spinach/ricotta ravioli, and we both were beyond satisfied. We also had the artichoke as an appetizer, and trusted the waiter with his suggestion for a bottle of wine. He must have been some genius because the wine went well with our meal. The ambience was cozy and very family oriented, however, the rain outside made it romantic for us. Another key point for this restaurant and it traditional flare was that they brought out the olive oil and red vinegar for our salad and of course olive oil for our wonderful home-made bread. I'm so glad we chose this place for those of us Americans who understand culinary cuisine.

I was surprised when I read the Yelp reviews that a few of my awesome Yelpers also dined here too and gave high marks so I was very excited to give them a try. After ordering some tasty vino we went the Focaccia with mozzarella, black truffle with a truffle cream sauce. The Focaccia was lite and a thin crust. Topped with some delicious mozzarella and black truffle made this appetizer and home run choice. After the Focaccia I decided to stay on theme and went with the Fettuccine al tartufo nero e porcini (fettuccine black truffle & porcini mushrooms). Holy cow, a delicious culinary delight. Some other hits of the table included the beef fillet with green pepper sauce & Digione mustard. Astice grigliato, verdure al vapore e maionese alla curcuma (Grilled lobster with steamed veggies in a mayonnaise turmeric sauce and a Lasagna, tartufo nero, funghi, mozzarella e grana (lasagna with blach truffle, mushrooms, mozzarella and Parmesan cheese) All were just amazing. Impeccable service and an old world Italian charm decor made this a delightful experience.

The workers eventually recognized us and treated us like friends. Hence the name of the restaurant- Buoni Amici = Good Friends. Plenty of wine choices and great food to go with it. The penne was missing something but good thing we ordered it with the steak as an extra dish. Everything else we had was amazing, we had it everyday & tried with one other new dish each day. No complaints! We would even get there nearly closing time, & never felt like we weren't welcomed. Almost asked them if they needed help wiping each glass & cleaning up lol There was a dessert that we seen others eating during lunch with strawberries that we were going to come back for at dinner but sadly was all gone, so I imagine it's a hit. We enjoyed the sorbetto al limone every time though! I could go on & on about this place but I'll leave the rest to your imagination. Highly recommend We'll be back on our next trip to Rome!

It is a large restaurant and was full of lively patrons. The indoor decor is warm and inviting. The first thing I noticed was the camaraderie between the waitstaff - everyone seemed to get along, helped each other and were having fun. We had 2 wonderful Filipino waiters. One had the same Ray-Ban meta glasses as my husband, which they bonded over. We ordered the bombolotti carbonara and lasagna-both delicious. For the mains, grilled Turbot (which was perfectly de-boned tableside) and meatballs w/ mashed potatoes. While the waiter was de-boning the fish, the song "Take Me Home, Country Roads" by John Denver came on overhead. My husband and I both looked at each other and smiled, thinking WTH?! I asked the waiter, "did we tell you we were from West Virginia?" and he smiled and shook his head. But later confessed, he played it for us (I guess we did tell him, lol). It made our night. Rome was the last city in our multi-city 12 day tour and we loved every minute but we were looking forward to going home. Hearing "Country Roads" at a popular and busy restaurant a block away from the Spanish Steps blew our minds. A young couple sat next to us for a quick snack, I asked her what she ordered (it looked delicious) and she said "Im from a different part of Italy but come here just for their artichokes". A few minutes later, I saw a plate full of artichokes pass by, being brought to a table outside. They made my mouth water. Al 34 was one of our favorite restaurants in Italy -- wonderful food (extensive menu), very lively with a mixed crowd (lots of Asians, English speakers and native Italians). It is a fun place to go and the wait staff is one of the reasons I will be coming back. I cant wait to try their artichokes! If you see the word, carciofo (artichoke), order it!
