My husband and I made reservations a month before we got to Rome, based on a tv show. And Roscioli and their staff did not disappoint. We sat at the bar, which I would recommend and let the server help us choose from the vast menu. We have fresh mozzarella with sun dried tomatoes, that made my husband happy dance in his seat, followed by pasta!! The wine the waiter selected was one of the best Rosè of my life. We throughly enjoyed every bite and sip. read more

Roscioli - Caccio e Peppe - Salumerie Near Me - Rome, RM

See all

This place is overhyped. The concept was cool (Salumeria turned restaurant, with dining in a cave) and the food was ok, good enough. But the thing that completely ruined the experience is the table seated next to us with the screaming six week old baby and toddler. I'm sorry, but it is is not appropriate to bring your children to a "fancy" type place for fine dining where others are paying top dollar to eat. The restaurant should decide what it is, a deli or fine dining and then seat tables appropriately. We paid a lot for our meal but it was completely ruined by the screaming baby, yelling tolder, and whiffs of smell of baby vomit and poopie diaper. I feel cheated for what we paid to eat there, and we then we were held hostage in that cave with screaming children. Bad judgement for the parents but the restaurant owns responsibility and should not seat young kinds with adults trying to have a quality dining experience. read more

This fabulous salumeria would be a vegan's worst nightmare, but was a dream for a shameless carnivore like me. They supposedly have 250 types of cheese and 150 kinds of cured meats on hand. I always thought prosciutto was chewy, until I sampled the real deal here. Air-cured for up to three years or more, it melts in your mouth. The severed legs of pork are so revered they wear embroidered slippers like the Pope (see pic). Order from a book of a menu, where cured meats are listed by region and age. We ate a big platter of different prosciutto's salami's, mortadella, a nice assortment of Tuscan cheeses, and a basket of bread and warm foccacia. This simple meal was one of the best ever. The wine list is two books, hundreds of bottles. I chose a Vino Nobile di Montepulciano from Siena for about €30. I'm not a wine expert, and don't drink much wine at home, but here in Italy, my wife and I were downing bottles of Tuscan red wines with dinner every night like water. BTW, water is not free in many European restaurants. A litre of sparkling or still water with your meal is about €3. The complimentary limoncello and biscuits with chocolate sauce are an elegant way to end the meal here. This great restaurant is beyond five stars. Highest recommendation. read more

Roscioli - slippers - Salumerie Near Me - Rome, RM

When I was in Rome last year, I made a reservation online - which is the only method to truly secure a table, unless you try to go in as a walk-in - and to make my reservation I had pay 20€ which I would lose if I didn't make my reservation. Spoiler alert: I didn't make my reservation. Fast forward to this year and I remade a reservation and actually made it this time. (Ha!) I will honestly say that this was worth the wait. Roscioli has definitely made a name for themselves. Not only do they operate this restaurant but they also have a cafe and bakery. My party sat at the bar - I don't mind sitting at the bar, I actually enjoy it, but being tall and having your knees pushed into the backboard isn't pleasant. And the seats are a little tight. We were welcomed with some of their fresh baked bread (which they charge you for) and it's a mixture of different breads they sell in their bakery. I enjoyed their bread: all different textures and flavors. We started with the artichoke salad and the stuffed zucchini flowers. Both great starts and enough of a nibble for a party of a 4, considering we were ordering more food. They have a great selection of pasta, but I wanted to try something different so I ordered the "raviolo di coda e pecorino". The ravioli is stuffed with oxtail and pecorino cheese and covered in a sauce of foie gras and cooked figs. This dish was truly rich! The freshly made ravioli was al dente, the oxtail filling was tender and the sauce was creamy. I almost didn't have enough room for dessert, but the diner next to me said I should try the tiramisu; it's the "best in the city" she says. I ordered it and I must say I enjoyed it. It was moist and creamy - a perfect bite to end my meal. read more

This place books every night so a reservation is required, options include the bar, the back room, the wine cellar or IN the deli area. Deli was all that was available so I snagged it. It took me a few days to understand the bread and olives and cheese that waiters give out are free for all. I just thought they liked us. I was seated next to some very expensive truffles. The best pomodoro sauce with crispy pork cheek pasta I've ever had. I don't think I've ever seen my husband so happy in his life than when we were here. What a special night and dinner we had. Perfection! read more

Almost always busy but the food is good! Great pastries and pizza, fast moving staff, reasonably priced fares.

Great service and wonderful food we made reservations well in advance for a table in the private wine cellar area.

I emailed a month in advance about a Honeymoon dinner.. confirmed day of and whomever responded suggested the wine cellar for a more romantic setting, so we were even more excited! We were then sat at a 4 top table with a plastic divider next to a table of 3 girls smooshed at a two top. Over crowded, impersonal, and the least bit romantic. The food and service was okay.. This was the first dinner we booked and the one we were most looking forward to, and the least memorable.. We don't like being those "typical Americans" but in this case we were treated as such, and asked for a review, so I'm giving it.. read more

Roscioli! This was one of two places we made reservations at months ahead of time because we HAD to go while we were in Rome. We had a 9:30 PM reservation and found it nice and full in there when we arrived. I really love the space, which is sort of small, but makes it feel cozy. We started with the burrata and sundried tomatoes and WHOA. This was the best cheese we ate in all of Italy and I didn't even think I liked burrata. We also had the anchovies and they were SO SALTY, so maybe skip those. Entree-wise, my husband had the carbonara and I had the rigatoni alla amatriciana an just wow! I have zero complaints. It was all so good. My one criticism is not of the restaurant, but of all the annoying American diners, which is all that seemed to be in the restaurant. Let's maybe chill out on asking for the wifi password, filming the delivery of your food and being really impatient about ordering. Yikes! read more

We would like to thank our friends who recommended this place. Make reservations a month in advance. Show up for your reservation no more than ten minutes earlier or you will be shooed away. Sit in the cellar if you want a quiet and cosy atmosphere. Let your waiter guide you if you are overwhelmed by the menu. Based on reviews we got the traditional Italian selection of cold meats, Burrata pugliese, carbonara, cacio e peppe,, and amatriciana. Everything amazing. The waiter picked our wine. Our children loved the food as much as we did. But they had them with their bread basket! They were conscious of my son's nut allergy which was great. I'm so glad we had reservations because the line for their take out pizza and bakery post was a mile long! read more

This was probably our favorite place in Rome. This is as must if you visit. Great find. Small but amazing food and ambience. Cacio e Pepe is the best we had in Italy. It's also in a great area. You can easily walk to it and it's an amazing area too explore. TIP: they book up fast and in advance. Be sure and reserve a table and don't miss your reservation. We stayed over an hour. It's very relaxing. Book through their website or call. read more

Always worth it! The pizza was great! We were unable to get reservations in the restaurant but the pizza at the bakery was delicious!

WOW - what a great first impression of Italy! We walked in on a Tuesday evening and sat in the wine cellar - very intimate and cozy - not too loud for such a small area! I was immediately salivating upon entering the restaurant because the deli section gives you an eye full as you're on your way to be seated. We ordered the carbonara, spaghetti with sardines, caprese, foie gras, and tirimasu. Everything was outstanding, with the star of the show being the Sardine pasta. The flavor of sardine was paired perfectly with pine nuts and what appeared to be dried black currants. I expected it to be a little on the salty side, but it was actually perfectly balanced. the caprese was oh-so-fresh and flavorful - the sun dried tomatoes were absolutely delicious. All of the pasta was right on the money al-dente, and the portions are generous for the price. I was shocked as to how reasonable our check was at the end of the night - such a steal for a truly memorable meal. read more

In our 5 days in Rome, after eating out for every meal, this place made our Top 3 list. The food was AMAZING. We had reservations at 12:30pm on a Monday right when they opened and we still had to wait in line to get in, this tells you others feel the same as we do. The wine list was extensive and there were also a good amount of food options. The burrata was soo soft and flavorful and came with a sundried tomato pesto type of sauce that really rounded out the flavors. The stuffed zucchini flowers had a juicy, tender oxtail stuffing that is making my mouth water as I think back. What a great meal overall. I highly recommend you make reservations. I am not sure they will be able to accommodate you without reservations due to the popularity of the place. Highly recommend: burrata with sundried tomatoes, zucchini flowers stuffed with oxtail, and the ravioli dish. read more

The restaurant scene in Italy is general incredible but this place stands on the shoulders of Giants!! Fantastic hospitable service...and the food....OMG. Obviously the various charcuterie was a highlight but the veal....OMG THE VEAL. get it....thank me later. Easy 5 star read more

My only complaint is that I was so stuffed I couldn't keep eating! This was a nice dining experience with good food. We booked ahead and had a table at the bar. We started with the mozzarella, focaccia and ham. There are soooo many kinds of cheese variations to choose but this was so tasty. I absolutely loved the tomatoes and the sweet and salty it brought to the cheese. We also had Parma ham which was beautifully colored and tasty. I ordered the cacio e pepe and couldn't finish it all but I wanted to! It was cheesy and the noodles had a nice bite to them. We wanted to save room for dessert and I'm so glad we did! The restaurant has a nice set up and process for COVID, and they're doing it well while serving up good food. They also have a great wine list and everyone was friendly! I would recommend! read more

After assessing almost 16 days of meals in Italy, our lunch at Roscioli Salumeria was my favorite. We had La Burrata Pugliese con Pomodoro as an appetizer (best burrata ever) and I will not stop thinking about my ravioli entree for a long time: Raviolo Di Coda E Pecorino. Holy Mother Mary it was good. The atmosphere is crowded but absolutely charming. Like eating in a lovely wine cellar. Easy five stars. read more

You must have a reservation, it seems, to get into this interesting hot spot. We were able to get a 7 pm seating on a Friday evening, and we had a lovely meal in a unique setting. Tables are quite close together, so don't bring a large bag or coat (if not necessary) as it could feel a bit cramped. But the hubbub around the table also added to the ambiance. People were coming in and out to order food from the counter (like sliced ham or cheese or wine to go), while we ate. It was pretty cool! While everything was good, the burrata with tomatoes was phenomenal. I would go back just for that alone! Delicious! read more

This review is long overdue. My friend and I were only in Rome for a few days so we really wanted to make sure that our dining choices were used effectively aka no tourist traps! But anyway, we chose to eat here twice out of our short trip because the food was that amazing. They have an array of different Roma pastas which is great and a really extensive wine list. My favorite was their carbonara. Wow. Just mind-blowing. The guanciale was super crispy and flavorful, and just blew all notions of bacon and pancetta out of the water. Why do we not have that here in Cali?? I just can't enjoy carbonara the same way anymore. There was another steak dish we had the first time we dined here and it was really good too. I will say that service is a hit and miss. The first time we dined here, we were well taken cared of but the second time, not so much. Either way, if I am back in Roma, I will come back for sure. Grazia! read more

Got here early so we didn't have to wait in line. Food was pretty quick. Got runny eggs, bread, and salmon dish. Good but overpriced by 3 euros. Custard filled croissant was well worth. The 2.50. They brought us the wrong coffee, then brought us another and charged us for both, despite not ordering the first. In their defense we did drink both. Had to go inside to ask for check because the waiter was very busy. Only one waiter for the whole place. read more

Lives up to the hype! Really excellent handmade pasta. Nice ambience too. Will come back next time I'm in Rome.

I made reservations to Roscioli a week before for the wine cellar seating. When we arrived they seated us upstairs by the staircase. I let the lady in the front know and they re-seated us downstairs in the wine cellar. Not sure why they seated us upstairs. The wine cellar has a nice ambience but it gets a little stuffy. A guy on the next table was coughing and sneezing away so it didn't make it too pleasant. They brought out bread which is really delicious. Ordered the artichoke for appetizer and the cabonara. It was delicious and seems so simple but I think what made it was the pepper and the meat was cooked well done to make it crispy. They brew their own beer which was refreshing read more

Expensive and highly disappointing. My wife and I made reservations here for dinner after having it recommended to us several times from both locals and visitors. The interior was cramped and tables were set up very unromantically against the wall and just feet from the deli and meat cutting stations. The vibe is quite different from a romantic restaurant, which is fine. Every other table in the restaurant also sat foreign travelers, which I found disconcerting. We were all seated quickly at our reservation times at once, orders were all taken around the exact same time, and each table woofed down their food, chugged their wine, and ran out the door in record time. The whole experience was just bizarre. We ordered the proschiutti razza nera italiana (€29) as an appetizer. The cured meats section of the menu was expansive and included some rarities like jamon ibero. We were talked out of getting the jamon iberico, my favorite thing on earth, and told to get the Italian equivalent, black breed prosciutto. This was not even close to being as good as the Spanish version and was far too salty and dry - missing that amazing wet and oily texture of the Spanish delicacy. We did get the house bread (€3 charge), which was tasty. But we didn't order it specifically and weren't told it had an extra charge. I haven't had this happen to me in years traveling in Europe. For our main course, my wife ordered the pasta carbonara and thought it was way too salty and didn't enjoy it. There wasn't a lot of meat in it either. I got the raw shrimp with the burrata cheese. This was a bit of a strange dish, but I loved the textures. Again, I thought it was a touch too salty. We opted to skip dessert and hurried out the door with the rest of the patrons. What a weird experience. Not recommended. Their little pastery and pizza shop, Antico Forno Roscioli, was excellent, though. Fast casual setup with no server, low prices, and phenomenal pizza and desserts. read more

This place seemed empty when we arrived at 9:30pm for our reservation, but all of the sudden, all the tables were full for a second turn. Wow. The restaurant ambiance is so cute here. I think it's a store on the frontside, including meats & cheeses in the counter, and wine sorted like a library on the opposing side. There are some tables in the front, but more in the back, and even downstairs. The place is huge. I just love the display of wines along the wall - it goes all the way up to the ceiling, which makes it feel like you're in a library of a mansion. We had to order the Amatriciana, and the Cacio Pepe, since it was our first night in Rome, and these were dishes that supposedly originated from here. Both were fantastic. I'd say the highlight at this restaurant was the al dente of the noodle - so delicious! Can't say these were my favorite pastas ever, or the favorites for the trip, but they were very satisfying, especially for our first night getting off the plane in Italy. This is a cute find, and I'd recommend it if you're in the area and staying in Rome! read more

Before coming to Rome, my friend told me that the carbonara in Italy would change my life. I didn't believe her. I love pasta, but like, I don't love pasta thaaat much. How wrong I was. The carbonara at Roscioli changed my life. Booked a table well in advance but had a last-minute addition so the only seats available were at the bar/prep area, which was fine because I love watching the chefs/cooks prep/cook, except the stools here are about half the length of normal stools so I felt like I was doing to slide right off and under the bar the entire time. Roscioli, please get some regular-size bar stools for our butts. However, all my butt woes were forgotten when that carbonara was set down in front of me. I don't even remember what my friends ate because that pasta eclipsed everything on the table. No, I'm lying, we had the insalata di carciofi, which sparked our love affair with Roman artichokes, and one of my friends had the slow cooked beef with crunchy vegetables, which was good but not life-changing. The carbonara was life-changing - perfectly al dente, the egg impossibly creamy, the guanciale little bursts of crispy-edged porky salty goodness. I washed it down with a solid Lazio red. Even though we were too full for dessert, we were given little cookies with dipping chocolate, and we found room for those. We ate and drank and eventually wandered off into the night, thankful that our Airbnb was only a block away. I dreamt of carbonara. Seriously, get the carbonara. read more

This has been one of my favorites over two visits to Rome. I'm not big on fine dining but this place makes you feel comfortable while delivering on the high level of food that you'd expect. We tend to do several courses when we go. They cover each of them very well. During our last visit, I had fried anchovies (a little too heavy on the batter), amatriciana (perfect), smoked swordfish carpaccio (outstanding), tiramasu (so good), and espresso. My wife and sister in law's dishes looked just as good. It was a wonderful night! read more

This restaurant came highly recommended as a premiere location to dine, especially for local fare like carbonara or cacio e pepe. It definitely is exceptional quality food! We had mozzarella di bufala and salume, followed by carbonara, with Aperol to drink. Everything was amazing! There were mostly locals there as well, and the place was packed, so you know the reputation lives up. The only reasons I gave 4 out of 5 stars were these: the price to dine is a bit higher than the average trattoria in Rome (where you can also find amazing food off the beaten path for less euro), and the staff was less than welcoming. We found them to be quite judgy, even though I spoke only Italian to them and we were exceedingly polite and laudatory of the food. My experiences in Rome have always been warm, which is why it stood out. read more

Roscioli is always a must when in Rome. After years without travel due to Covid restrictions I made it to Rome after six weeks of travel with friends. Top on my list was a meal or two at Roscioli. I was not able to get a reservation and my travel companion was ill, so I walked over and practically begged. The good news was it worked and I was given a seat at the counter, which I consider the best spot to sit. This is a small narrow restaurant and the servers practically dance around the customers and each other delivering the most perfectly executed dishes using the finest quality ingredients and serving a wide variety of perfect wines to accompany the food. I started with raw prawns sweet, delicate and fresh from the sea. These are a must try for anyone who likes sushi or raw seafood. Next course was a pumpkin soup with a perfectly poached piece of white fish and dollops of goats cheese crema. This was followed by perfectly al dente fusilli topped with lamb ragu. By the way, all meals are accompanied by the most delicious freshly baked bread. Don't forget to make a reservation and be patient. Check out their Bakery and Pizzeria down the street. read more

My new favorite restaurant in Rome. After eating here at the beginning of our vacation, we turned to the maitre'd and asked for a reservation two days later. And after THAT meal, we did the same thing! Do you know bottarga? If you are a lover of umami flavors, or the oceany taste of sea urchin, you are in for a treat. We had two knockout bottarga dishes at Roscioli, the plate of strachiatelle (soft cheese) covered with zucchini and bottarga. Only problem was we filled up on this dish, we ate every scrap. I highly recommend the pasta with bottarga - they are very generous with this precious stuff, and the chew of the pasta is the best. The meatballs were another favorite item, served with polenta and tomato sauce. Everything here is a knockout, highly recommended. read more

This is the best pizza. Absolutely get any slice and your life will be changed. The crust, which I think is focaccia, is superb, and I got the salami, olive, mozza slice. Pick up and take to a square, or eat on a curb like I did. 10/10 read more

My husband and I came here on our first night in Rome. It was incredible. Highly recommend making a reservation well in advance since the restaurant was completely full the night we went. The wine selection is excellent. We also loved the roman pastas and buffalo mozzarella. They have a cafe and a bakery nearby. At the bakery we recommend getting the roman pizza - especially the pizza bianca and the pizza with potatoes and rosemary. Roman pizza is not like the pizza from Naples and is its own experience for you to enjoy. read more

4.5 stars Assolutamente di assagiare: le paste carbonara o caccio e pepe. Ok, that's as far as my Italian can go, but that packs a punch. A gourmet deli would be an understatement to describe Roscioli. it's not just a grab and go type a place, there's a sit down restaurant in the back. Their salumeria is stocked with nothing but the best stuff: salami, prosciutto, jamon iberico, etc. A wall of wine on the first floor showcasing Italian/French/other European varietals is an extension of their already impressive cellar. Everything on the menu lists what region or town your food came from which you would not find at any given touristy restaurant on nearby Campo di Fiori. Stylish Romans and savvy tourists make reservations for dinner. We stopped by for lunch and since it was close to 2pm, we only had to wait 10 mins for seats. If you're on a budget, it's possible to enjoy their pasta and have a glass of wine for €24. But this is a splurge for my bf and I. We ordered everything: prosecco, e grande piatte i prosciutti, il pane, le paste and guess what? FOIE GRAS! And coming to Italy, I expected a lot of salumi, etc. but I did not expect foie gras on the menu (which is now banned in California!) their version is a carpaccio style with a cippoline agro dolce of aceto from Lamponi. I was sad with the two small slices! But we paired this with the excellent walnut bread from the bread basket. Oh, don't EVER wave the bread basket away since they make it fresh from their own forno down the street. The carbonara was an eggy golden color with crispy chunks of guanciale. Also, the cacio e pepe was a magical plate of creamy pecorino cheese and freshly grated pepper. I've never had pasta so perfectly prepared! The complimentary fresh ricotta cheese neutralized some of the powerful effect of their prosciutto al nero. It was a generous serving of the most fragrant cured ham, a rich dark burgundy color with slim ribbons of lardo that just melts in your mouth! We were too full to order dessert but our server gave us crunchy amaretti cookies complete with a rich, dark melted chocolate for dipping. OMG. I was stuffed to the gills and my foodie self was wholly satisfied! By far our priciest meal in Rome (about €47 per person, tip NOT yet included) but worth every single centavo! Meraviglioso, ma caro but can I just say, Viva Italia! read more
