    Pumpkin ravioli
    Kevin N.

    This is a great place off the beaten path! Great food, small, and very personable staff!! If you are looking for a great place to eat stop here for lunch or dinner!!

    Homemade lasagna
    Cathy M.

    Wonderful little place away from the masses. Great service and prices. Homemade lasagna was to die for! Highly recommended.

    La lasagna, che buona!

    Sono andata perché era vicino da me, era buona, mi raccomando. Sono andata da sola, sfortunatamente non ho provato di più

    Food is great. Service was exceptional. Ambiance is cozy and quaint. We had dinner several times during our trip to Rome.

    Carbonara extra

    THIS IS THE BEST PASTA IN ITALY. I am Italian and got the Carbonara extra (truffle carbonara) and was practically emotional over how amazing it was. My father will never know I posted this review, but this pasta beats any and every pasta I have ever had. Must go. The staff is amazing and food takes time, but because they truly are putting their hearts into it. I went with a party of 9 and each person left extremely happy with their main dish and dessert. Must go!!!!!!

    Artichoke Bruschetta
    Swankie F.

    We landed in Rome yesterday and we were lucky enough to be guided towards Marco'a ristorante! The food was OUTSTANDING- the service even better. Marco made us feel right at home- letting us practice Italian and ponder over the menu. Highly recommend the Artichoke bruschetta - carbonara with truffle cream sauce, fennel salad and the meatballs ! Of course we want to explore more restaurants in Roma but I know we will be back before we leave ( if not more than once )

    Steak with rose sauce
    Rebecca B.

    The staff are very friendly and the ambiance was cozy and casual. Wasn't a favorite spot but they did try to please. We just didn't vibe with the food. Had the steak with rose sauce, tried the lamb chops, and steak with red wine sauce. The dessert was good, though I can't remember the name.

    Cacio e pepe and fettuccine bolognese

    My husband and I are visiting Italy and we went to dinner here tonight based on reviews and honestly we didn't feel like walking any more than we had to since we'd walked all day and it was an amazing place. Really, so awesome. My husband wanted to get an early dinner (like 6pm, which in Italy I've noticed seems to be extremely early) so we thought we might wait a little since they were still going to be closed for a a while but they saw us and opened the door anyway and seated us. Now we don't speak Italian and this restaurant is 100% Italian. The main "server" (honestly he seemed very in charge so he might have even been more of an owner? Not sure) did speak English very well but they didn't make us feel like "ugly Americans" (100% we can be) They offered suggestions and were just wonderful. This food was superb! One of the best meals. I won't go on any longer but it was perfection. The entire experience was crazy good. Food in pictures: bruschetta with smoked buffalo mozzarella, ricotta and fresh mozzarella, fettuccine bolognese, Caico e Pepe, rosemary and olive oil roasted lamb and potato

    Really great restaurant. Came with a group of friends for dinner. Service was great and the food was very tasty. Everything everyone ordered they liked. All the food was freshly made and had much flavour to it. Definitely worth a visit while you are in the area.

    Our first meal in Rome was here, and I'm so glad it was here. We arrived on Christmas Eve and…read morewanted a good meal. 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.

They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, and if you're sitting outside on a sunny day, the staff is very attentive about adjusting the shades so you're comfortable. They will adjust even without you having to ask. I ordered the artichoke as an appetizer which was very good, I recommend getting this if they are in season. I also ordered the carbonara, and it was by far the best I had while in Rome perfectly creamy, rich, and full of flavor without being too heavy. You can really tell they focus on doing the classics right. What stood out beyond the food was how efficiently the staff operated. Despite how busy the restaurant gets, they move quickly and keep everything running smoothly, which made the whole experience even better. Overall, this is a must-visit spot if you're in Rome. Expect a wait, but it's 100% worth it for the quality of the food and service.

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.

    Super pizza place with a lot of other great stuff on the menu…read more I looked with envy at the other tables who were enjoying spectacular plates of spaghetti with mussels. * * * That said, my pizza was a grand slam home run. Many of their pizzas are quite elaborate With all sorts of exotic ingredients. I went super simple. Gorgonzola. Mozzarella. That's it. Just enough Mozzarella to cut the Gorgonzola and make for a good melt. * * * If you have never had a gorgonzola pizza, you have never lived. Just sayin'. * * * P.S. 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.

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.
