Very small and quaint with outdoor seating. This was our last meal in Rome and would be up there with one of the best meals we had. We ordered the oxtail pasta dish and the bolognese. Please please please do yourself a favor and order the oxtail pasta (not sure of the name on the menu) but it was delicious. It was also served with an abundance of oxtail. They did not skimp on the portion size. All of their pasta is fresh made and rolled in the restaurant. We also fell in love with the orange soda that was served. We have been on the hunt for it since our return. read more

Very Disappointing Experience - Osteria da Fortunata, Pantheon Location We have visited Rome several times and have eaten at Osteria da Fortunata della Cancelleria on Via della Cancelleria. During our previous visits, we had excellent experiences with both the food and the customer service, which is why tonight's experience was especially disappointing. We ordered the carbonara and spaghetti, and unfortunately, the pasta was undercooked, very chewy, and cold. It was not at all the quality we had experienced during our previous visits. When we asked the waiter to take the carbonara back because it was not edible, his attitude was extremely disappointing. Rather than offering to replace the dish or addressing our concern professionally, he told us that the manager had approved it and that we could simply take the food home. What made the experience even worse was the atmosphere of this location. The restaurant felt more like a factory than an authentic Italian dining experience. We noticed the staff using walkie-talkies to communicate with the host, and as soon as customers left their tables, the waiter would communicate with the host to immediately send new customers in to fill the space. It gave us the impression that the priority was turning tables over as quickly as possible rather than providing guests with a pleasant dining experience. The constant rush was noticeable and took away from what should have been an enjoyable meal in Rome. It is very unfortunate because we have visited Osteria da Fortunata several times in the past and genuinely enjoyed both the food and the service. Tonight, however, the cold and poorly cooked pasta, the attitude of the waiter, and the rushed, factory-like atmosphere made this a very disappointing experience. read more

The pasta here is the best I have ever had in my life hands down. I first experienced Osteria da Fortunata when I visited Rome in 2018 and knew I wanted to come back during my most recent trip. There is a restaurant on the same corner with the same name so make sure you end up at the right place. There is always a woman in the front window rolling out fresh pasta so you know it's legit. This place is very popular so you should expect to have to wait in a line outside for a table, trust me it is worth it. The waitstaff keeps things moving and are very organized so just be patient. I ordered an Aperol Spritz and water for drinks. The cocktail was a nice size, well balanced, and I loved the branded glass. It was very hot outside so appreciated the cold drinks and AC units. We also ordered a side of bread to share, which of course comes with olive oil and balsamic, so we could soak up every ounce of the delicious pasta sauces. The bread crust was crispy and warm and inside soft, perfect. So many pasta options on the menu. Every dish I have tried has been spectacular, but I decided to get the Carbonara again as it was my favorite last time. The sauce is rich and decedent, the noodles are a thicker type and perfectly al dente, and the pancetta and cheese on top adds lovely saltiness. It's so satisfying. You will be full after you devour every bite so you don't need the Second course. We couldn't even do dessert. Osteria da Fortunata has multiple locations and open late, so I highly recommend you try them when visiting Rome. This is a town of amazing food, but here really just hits the spot! read more

This place is right in the square and busy which is good. There's nobody standing outside trying to get you in or menu's with pictures. As far as tourists restaurants go, this is a good one. The staff is awesome and fun. The food was really good. Some of the best we had in Rome. Gnocchi with Oxtail - Probably the best I ever had. The gnocchi definitely was. Not heavy at all. This place is a good choice if your looking at a bunch or restaurants and need to chose one, it's a good bet. read more

Heard this was a popular must try restaurant! Arrived before they opened at 11:30am so we hung out for a bit. They offer indoor & outdoor seating. We chose indoor due to the heat. Even though their outdoor seating does provide fans with a mist. The staff are very attentive. Small sized restaurant but they have about 3 in the area because what I can see they are definitely popular & get busy. The food was so delicious, the pasta was al dente. The oxtails from what I tried from my son was tender & flavorful. When back in Rome...ill be back for another meal! read more

The staff were also friendly and attentive. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant if you want authentic Italian food and a memorable dining experience. read more

Have seen this Osteria during our past trips to Rome and finally decided to try it out. Had to wait in line about 15 minutes and then we were seated. It was packed and stayed packed during our entire time while dining. And still a wait line when we left! And now I know why. The place has high energy. The wait staff hustles. The food we ordered was wonderful. The Cacio e Pepe and the lasagna were both equally as good while completely different. Highly recommend. The long lines move quickly. read more

Absolutely delicious pasta and great customer service. They get super busy fast so it's important to keep in mind that there may be a wait. They do have other locations - the one near the pantheon usually is the busiest. Their carbonara was so rich - pasta had a nice al dente. Their gnocchi was nice and soft. Veal was tender. Definitely recommend! read more

Multiple locations so you don't need a reservation but this location specifically does accept reservations so if you want to be on the safe side, I would go here. I love the ambiance. It's a comfy place to eat. The waiters are nice and fast. The carbonara is rich and thick. The pasta al dente perfectly. The pancetta pieces are salty and fatty. It's a heavy meal but it is delicious. The burrata is perfect to share and delicious. read more

I've heard how great and authentic this food is so it was a must try and I must say it did not disappoint. The pasta was fantastico. I order the Carbonara and it didn't disappoint the pasta is authentic and cooked to al dente. The guanciale or cured pork cheeks had just the right amount of a salty taste to complement the pasta. The sauce is so rich, this dish is so filling and savory you won't regret ordering it. Service is excellent and ambience is so great you can't help but fall in love with this place. Also they actually have a woman who sits in the front window and rolls out the Pasta. We were so full we couldn't even eat dessert. If you're in Rome stop at Osteria Da Fortunata there are 5 locations in Rome. read more

One of the most popular Italian restaurants in Rome with multiple locations throughout the city all with lines. When we arrived on a late afternoon, we waited about 10 minutes before getting seated. To start off, we got the Limoncello Spritz (€10) and Aperol Spritz (€10), which were refreshing. For our pasta, we ordered the Fettuccine with Oxtail (€18) and Carbonara (€17). We also wanted to order two more Secondi dishes, but the waiter warned us that the pasta is filling. After we finished the pasta, we did still order the Rabbit (€19) because it wasn't something we usually see on the menu. For the carbonara, the flavor was delicious but not really my favorite pasta shape. It was also quite al dente with a chewy texture. I have to say that the oxtail was spectacular though with its juicy and tender meat sauce. While the rabbit was nice to try once, it was a bit dry with minimal meat. Overall, good spot but nothing worth waiting too long for. Also, I'd stick to the pasta here as it's all handmade. You even see them handrolling them inside. Note that they also charge €2 per person for service fee already. read more

You can tell that they cater to an American and foreign crowd. That was unfortunately a little sad as their tiramisu was soaked with coffee. Got an amazing cacio e Pepe and oxtail dish. Portions were amazing and taste was really good. Lovely ambiance overall. Not sure it's worth the wait in line considering how many amazing pasta places are around the corner read more

My lobster pasta was one of the best dishes I had in Rome. While the truffle pasta was a bit overhyped in my opinion, it was still fun watching it being prepared on the cheese wheel. The service was friendly, and it's a great spot for visitors looking to experience the area. We sat on the outdoor patio, where the ambiance was lively with locals passing by, making for a memorable dining experience. read more

Man, this was the best pasta I've ever had. The flavors were so rich, the noodles were so tender, the meat was so moist. They have definitely perfected their craft. The tiramisu was also the best I've ever had. Our server had such high energy, it was really appreciated. The ambiance wasn't anything crazy, but we were already shaded and protected from the street and sidewalks. We'll definitely be coming back next time we're in Rome. read more

Osteria Da Fortunata - Roman Near Me - Rome, RM

Italy is renowned worldwide for its delectable cuisine with so many dishes to choose from, and the capital is no exception. The cuisine we think of today as distinctly Roman is the result of millennia of converging influences, from the pastoral traditions of the surrounding countryside to Rome's Jewish community, the oldest in Europe. Roman food traditions are deeply rooted in the concept of "cucina povera" (poor cuisine), where simple, affordable ingredients are transformed into extraordinary dishes.Their food also favors aggressive flavors. Classic dishes are heavy on black pepper, funky pecorino, and bitter greens. Located near the Campo de' Fiori, the only monumental square in the Historic Center not to host a church or a basilica on Via dei Baullari, my partner, family member, and I were recommended by our golf cart driver, Achilles, and with his assistance got a table outdoors immediately upon arrival as first-timers in Rome. Osteria da Fortunata is a popular choice for many travelers seeking authentic Roman cuisine, where fresh homemade pasta is made on-site. As an appetizer to share, we went for the Supplì (rice balls). These delightful deep-fried balls of deliciousness are among Rome's most beloved food staples. They are nothing if not simple. Like arancini, their more famous Sicilian counterparts, they consist of balls of risotto rice, lovingly lathered in gooey mozzarella and ragù meat sauce, coated in breadcrumbs, and deep-fried to perfection. For our main meal, we opted for Spagetti with Pesto, Salad, Sciavatelli All'Amatriciana, and Tagliolini with Cheese and Pepper. We washed them down with Limonata and Acqua Frizzante. The quality of the ingredients was superb, as the taste and the sauces were extremely rich and sparked one's senses. The portions were really plentiful, and one definitely would not go out hungry. The service was a bit chaotic but in a good way, with the waiters moving fast, speaking loud, and joking with some tables. Prices were not the cheapest, but considering the quality and the location. Despite how busy it can get, we never felt rushed either. We can recommend. read more

I had this spot recommended by a friend and honestly thought it would just be another café that wouldn't stand out but boy, was I wrong. This place is a must-visit. I went solo for a late lunch around 4 p.m. while my friends were still exploring, and I think that's the perfect time to go. I've heard it gets super packed later in the day, so if you want to skip the wait, aim for that 3-5 p.m. window. I was seated outside, right next to the glass window where a woman was hand-making pasta such a cool touch. Started with an Aperol Spritz (fantastic) and a plate of prosciutto that looked huge but ended up being the perfect portion for one, served with some fresh bread. Then came the Carbonara, easily one of the best pasta dishes I've had in my life. Perfectly creamy, rich, and balanced. The whole meal was spot on. If you're in Rome, do yourself a favor and eat here. Great vibes, great food, and one of those meals that sticks with you for life. read more

This popular spot seems to be a hit with both locals and tourists. We arrived around 2:30 PM for lunch and only waited a short time for outdoor seating. We ordered the insalata mista, which came without dressing, but the table olive oil and vinegar worked well. The bread they bring to the table is not complimentary (costs €4), but it was good. We tried the tagliolini cacio e pepe and gnocchi with beef ragu. I enjoyed how perfectly al dente the pasta was. The cacio e pepe was rich and quite salty and slightly bitter which was overwhelming to try to finish. Overall, it was a good experience with friendly staff, and it was cool to watch the pasta being made through the front window. read more

We found this place after doing short research on our first night in Rome. If you want a nice introduction to Rome, this is the place to visit. Located right near the Pantheon situated in a walkable area, it's really a great starter. We arrived and waited less than 10 minutes for a table around 9pm. We walked in and were greeted by two women hand-rolling the pasta near patrons. We were told to head upstairs for a table. Immediately we were asked for our drink order. I ordered the limoncello spritz which was refreshing. We ordered the rice balls and fried olives which were both delicious and hot. Our pasta ordered were out or this world. One word, fresh, that's all i can say. The table next to us ordered a pesto dish which made me regret my decision, however it's an excuse to come back or for you, the reader to get it for me . Overall, the food was delicious. My only complaint was our server, he seemed uninterested and took forever to come over to see if we were done. Eventually, I flagged him down for a check. I will still give this place 5 stars. read more

We waited in line for about 20min before we were able to get a seat for two. This place always has a line. When you sit down, you are drenched in fluorescent lighting, which isn't flattering in any way and honestly a little bright and intrusive for dinner. But whatever! We ordered their Carbonara and ox tail fettuccine along with an order of caprese for starters. I wasn't all that impressed with their caprese - cheese was not seasoned and had no olive oil added on it. It felt dry to me. Their carbonara was fantastic and the pasta, which is hand rolled by the woman sitting at rhe window, was phenomenal. Crunchy Italian bacon and savory flavors from the cheese just creates this beautiful combination in my mouth! The fettuccine, was alright, it was lacking a little flavoring but the pasta was done al dente. It's definitely worth a try, the Carbonara at least! read more

So I knew we shouldn't be eating at places located at the big tourist spots and when we asked our hotel for recommendations he even said so too but he did mention this place because he said they make their pasta fresh as you order Sure enough located next to the pantheon this place was packed because it's there We didn't get seating inside but we still got to have a window seat upstairs The waiter was definitely chatty and comedic I had to get a carbonara and mozzarella Pasta was definitely fresh and you can see the ladies making it as you walk in Its definitely overpriced due to location but hey we knew what we're getting into we had just arrived and were starving It was fun still and staff was nice read more

We stumbled upon Osteria da Fortunata while wandering around after grabbing some gelato. The fresh pasta being made right in front of the window caught our eye, and with so many people enjoying their meals, we figured we'd give it a try. The atmosphere was lively, and the staff were friendly, so we were optimistic. We decided to go for the classics: Cacio e Pepe and Carbonara, both priced at €17 per dish. When our pasta arrived, we couldn't help but get excited until we took our first bite. The pasta was overwhelmingly salty. It was honestly like each bite had a tablespoon of salt. We were genuinely confused and wondered if they made a mistake while seasoning it. We didn't want to complain because the service was so nice, and the place was very busy. So, we just tried to eat through it, but after three bites, we couldn't take it anymore. We asked for a to-go box, but it took quite a while for them to get back to us, and in the end, we just left the food behind. It's a shame because the vibe was great, and we were really excited for the food. But after that experience, I'm not sure we'll be back anytime soon. Maybe we just had an off night, but we were definitely left a bit traumatized by the overly salted pasta. The pasta was also chewy. Pros: Friendly service Lively atmosphere Great location Cons: Over-salted pasta (seriously salty) Slow with to-go box request Not the best value for the price read more

Should have known to be a tourist trap! The moment we saw the ladies in the display kneading the dough we thought this might be a good place. However after tasting the food, the food wasn't tasty and it was disappointing. We had better noodles elsewhere. The noodles in here were salty and cheesy, no taste at all. Felt like chugging a block of cheese. For some reason Google Maps didn't allow my pictures to be posted so that the public can see what we ordered and stuff... If I were you I'd go somewhere else for italian pasta. There should be tons of options available in the land of pasta read more

1) Service was unacceptable. Very slow and ignored until we spoke up. Too concerned about turning the tables. 2) Food was mediocre to say the least. The Caprese salad was uneatable. The cheese was rubbery and could barely cut it with a knife (see attached pic). Probably premade and refrigerated (not good!). I let the server and manager know and was dismissed. After a lengthy conversation, it was removed from our bill. read more

I was so excited to try this place as it was hyped on social media. Super busy, but plenty of space inside so seating comes quickly. The only non-pork meat option was the oxtail pasta which sounded AMAZING and really all that I wanted to try. Unfortunately, it was not all that people made it to be. A hefty portion was served and service was great, but I was coming for the "mindblowingly"-good pasta and it did not happen. I also tried a stuffed blossom -- it was greasy with zero flavor. read more

This place is famous on social media for a reason. I've been here multiple times, and every pasta dish I try is delicious. I particularly enjoyed the carbonara and ragu. Their desserts are also great. I loved the cheesecake and tiramisu. The ambiance isn't the best. The tables are very close together, which also makes it difficult for the waiters to navigate the tables. Otherwise, the waiters have been very nice, and they never rush you. I know the line can get super long during tourist season. I have only visited in the winter and early spring and have been able to get the first seating of the day as long as I line up 15 minutes before opening. I recommend lining up early because I don't think it would be worth it to wait in line for over an hour. I also recommend going to the location near Piazza Navona instead of the main location in Rome. read more

Food was good, however the service killed the experience. We were here for about 3 hours which included waiting in line, waiting for our orders to be taken, and waiting for the food. Whilst being in the front of the line, 7 people in two separate groups behind us had been seated before us despite us being in the front with only 3 people. During the wait for our food, a table next to us was sat 30 minutes after us with 4 people, had their order taken after, and still got their food first. We didn't receive our 3 dishes until about an hour later. Unfortunately that was the experience with a place that was much anticipated as a tourist spot in Rome read more
