The restaurant is cozy and refreshing with lot of white marble and light colored decor. Mamà Ristobistrot is a great place for tourists and locals alike, but it's not overflowing with tourists which is nice. The food was absolutely excellent! We started with apps: warm focaccia and olive oil, eggplant and zucchini patties with tomatoes, and prawns and mint. All the starters were super flavorful. The prawns were some of the best we've ever had! For our main meal, we had the paccheri pasta with chunks of sea bass, tomatoes, and capers as well as the prawns entrée. I highly recommend Mamà Ristobistrot for anyone wanting lunch after visiting Vatican City!

We had made reservations earlier in the day for the same night, but it didn't seem too busy either way. We looked at the menu via QR code scanning before the waiter came to take our orders. We ordered a focaccia to share. I got the carbonara and my partner got a truffle cream based pasta that I can't remember the name of. All items were vegan. As a non-vegan, I was very impressed by all the dishes! The sauce for the carbonara mimicked the creaminess and cheesiness. I wasn't the biggest fan of the "bacon" / "guanciale" - it was a bit too squishy and needed to be crisped up a bit more but that's a personal preference. Pay inside when you are done by informing the staff of your table number. This was one of our top 5 favorite places on a two week trip in Italy.

Inside there's a bakery with all sorts of treats, and behind that, the restaurant opens up into a large dining area with big brick arches. It looks grand but is very casual. All the staff are super friendly and speak English. We tried a margherita pizza with mushrooms and prosciutto, tonnarlli cacio e Pepe with artichokes, and carbonara. Both pastas were fantastic with cheesy and creamy with a hint of spice from pepper. The pizza was awesome. If you enjoy thin crust or are carb sensitive this is for you. For dessert we tried maritozzo, basically a cream filled baguette which wasn't my favorite.

Overall, the food was quite good here and they had decent sized portions. Our favorite dish there was an artichoke carpaccio which came with shavings of pecorino, olive oil, arugula, and lemon juice -- surprisingly good! Pasta was thick and chewy, so it was quite filling, and it came with plenty of sauce. They have a decent selection of coffee, beer, and wine as well. The space is nicely decorated so it's fine if you're looking for something casual or for something a little nicer as well.

This spot was recommended by our Vatican your guide, RafaElla of Liv Tours…read more Very quick service here even though it was jam packed (by tourists), but it was big with lots of seating. Food came quick, the portions were pretty big: a primo piato of pasta might as well have been the main as it was so large. What stood out was the they can make anything gluten free, from pizza to pasta, etc. Our antipasto, was a fiori di Zucca--stuffed zucchini flower with mozzarella and anchovy. Very good and without even asking, they brought me a gluten free without my even asking because they remembered I inquired about GF options. I appreciated their attentiveness. Amatriciana was good and so was the GF Grigia pasta--simple but deliciously flavored with guanciale. Got a Roman style burger made from GF pizza crust as the "bun": interesting but better to get something more traditional. The saltimbocca (breaded veal, gluten free) was good but their mashed potato's were just ok.

Their outdoor seating has heat lamps if there is a chill in the air. It wasn't needed this day. Our servers were extremely friendly and kind as we explored the menu and asked questions. We had a calzone and ham and cheese pizza. Our food came out very fast. The ingredients were fresh and the crust ( aka dough) was perfect. We indulged in a dessert to share and it was a ricotta and sour cherry tart. It was so delicious. Pricing was reasonable. Definitely not a tourist trap!

The service was great and we were able to sit right away even though it was seemingly busy on the outside. We all ordered pizza, and I had had one with mortadella and pesto. The taste was excellent but I do wish it was crispier. It was thin like Roman pizza should be but it was very soft. Overall we enjoyed our meal.

However, if you are GF, this place is exceptional. They take every precaution, including have a separate preparation area. The have many GF dishes and even GF beers available, and everything we tried was really good. The staff immediately ask about allergies when seating you and they are so professional and friendly - the remembered us and our drink order after literally just one visit which is a true feat given how many people they must see. You would be excused for thinking this is just a tourist trap being right next to the Trevi fountain, and perhaps in some ways it may be. But the food is still so good and for a GF traveler I cannot recommend enough, at least trying it once.

A yummy thing happened on the way to the Colosseum …read more.. Pane & Vino is a tiny sandwich shop near il Colosseo that specializes in local porchetta (stuffed pork loin) and is run by the friendliest owner of all time. He gets to know every customer on a first name basis. I'd go back more to see him than to have a sandwich. Seriously, he's pretty awesome. The menu is simple and focused on sandwiches featuring their famous porchetta so we tried two recommendations from the peppy proprietor. While waiting, I got a miniature bottle of Chardonnay and my spouse sipped a Coke Zero. The Traiano Porchetta sandwich (12€ - 4 stars) is an original creation of the out-going owner with a mighty Mustard-flavored blend of Roast Pork, Sun-dried Tomatoes, and Grilled Eggplant. I like mustard and, therefore, liked this specialty much more than my wife, but we ended up ignoring portions of the so-so bun. Pane & Vino Special Porchetta (12€ - 4 stars) was a huge sandwich with the sliced Roast Pork Porchetta plus Mozzarella Cheese, Grilled Eggplant, Grilled Peppers, Mushrooms, Lettuce, and Mayo on classic Italian Pane. It needed more mayonnaise or a sprinkle of balsamic and olive oil for my tastes, but there was no denying it was a hearty hero. There are lots of pane bread and sandwich shops in Rome, but there is only one -- Pane & Vino -- run by the most welcoming of owners ever. If I'm in the neighborhood again, I'll be sure to stop in for a casual chat and some yummy porchetta sandwiches on the way to the Colosseum.
