I do not recommend!! We were there on Sept 8, ordered a dish with a white truffle and it turned out to be rotten and stale. We got terribly ill, vomited all night and had diarrhea, what spoiled our long-awaited trip to Rome. After pointing out to both the waiter and the manager that the truffle did not taste as it should, the menager(or host) told us that everything was ok. Once again, I do not recommend! read more

It's all about the truffles! Excellent lunch spot and pretty awesome experience. Amazing, delectable, fantastic dishes to try. And the ambiance to go with it. To my Bay Area friends, you know how the Stinking Rose is all about garlic? Well, all you have to do is replace garlic with truffle mushrooms, and you've arrived at Tartufi & Friends in Roma's Centro Storico on Via Borgognona. Located in the fashion shopping district, Via Dei Condotti, walking distance from Piazza di Spagna. The interior is gorgeous if I say so myself, I'm usually not the one to worry about the looks. Very cozy and elegant atmosphere with the most attentive staff who speak decent English, which is rather rare occurrence in my experience. Take your time and examine the menu I've posted, it's in English and yes, it does make you salivate over the possibilities. Be prepared to splurge and get yourself a bottle of fine wine. I rarely drink white, but when I do... I get Silvio Jermann Sauvignon from Villanova in Friuli Venezia Giulia. It is exceptionally good with cheeses, pastas, seafood, risotto, and of course mushrooms in simple recipes. Paired it with crusty Bruschette topped with porcini and artichoke spread and truffles, then had their signature Tagliolini dish. Opted for the more expensive white truffle variety. The pasta is made fresh daily and you can definitely tell that it is fresh. Very, very good. You must be prepared to shell out some dough though. A lunch for two that includes antipasto, first course, waters, and wine is easily €150. Back to the wine. You know all those stereotypes about Italians? Forget them if you want to understand the Friuli region. Silvio's heritage, combined with Friulian soil at Villanova di Farra vineyard, evokes the nuances of the grape into a well balanced elegance. Antipasto Selection of small bruschette crusty bread slices Tartufi&Friends, with porcini mushrooms cream, Crema panino, artichokes cream, spicy olive pâté, tomato sauce, €18,00 black truffle, €32,00 white truffle First Course The signature Tagliolini fresh hand made pasta Casio&Pepe with fresh truffle, €30,00 black truffle, €70 white truffle Valverde still water, sparkling available, 0,25l €1,50 Silvio Jermann Sauvignon 2015 Venezia Giulia, 100% Sauvignon 13% alcohol by vol. It comes from a hilly zone at Ruttars and three zones at Villanova in Friuli Venezia Giulia, Italy. Brilliant straw yellow with slight greenish reflections. Intense, fruity, green gooseberry fruit and fumé notes, distinctly varietal. Persistent bouquet with pleasing notes of elder flowers. On the palate, dry, full, elegant and well balanced. * I tartufi più diffusi, varietal truffles info card * read more

Everything was excellent from the food to the service to the Roma street ambiance. Perfect.

Husband loved his foie burger. I had fried egg and French fries both with truffles. The eggs were nicely cooked although I was given no choice of how. They could have used some oil or butter in the small cast iron pan as I lost a good bit that stuck. The fries were disappointing. I expected more than frozen fries, even with truffle shavings, for 22€ read more

Good food, good wine, good prices. This place is small and cozy but definitely worth the visit. The pasta here really showed me what pasta can truly be like - I've genuinely never had pasta as good as I have had it here. read more

Walked over 20 minutes to find the place because of the reviews! Stood outside reading the menu with what looked like 1 other couple eating there, I was expecting to go in and most likely spend over 200$ on dinner and experience this so called amazing truffle pasta but the waiter would not even acknowledge us while standing there over 5 Maybe 10 minutes. Sorry I didn't get to try it maybe next time you can teach them to actually acknowledge guests willing to pay that much for pasta! read more

Really great people here, superb, lovely people. The food however is average at best and the seating (if you are not outside) is diabolically poor. I chose to sit inside as I was a single diner and didnt want to take up one of their outside tables on a Sunday lunch time. They showed me to a very small room and sat me on a bench with a small TV dinner style table in front of me. As there was a small space to my left I thought I'd be okay until they sat a couple of my left. I decided to leave at that point as the seating was just too tight. I asked to pay for the mineral water I'd finished and they insisted that it was okay, perhaps they thought the prices had put me off (as this place isnt cheap) but it was the tightness of the inside seating that was the issue. The manager then very kindly offered to seat me at a table for 4 inside the main foyer of the restaurant (this place is small). This table would be perfect for 2 people and very tight for 4 but for just me was ideal. I ordred a Cacio e Pepe with black truffle (30 Euros) and a Chateaubriand for one with black truffle and a Potato Puree (again with black truffle). The total for food was about 80 Euros (as my wine spend was 50 Euros on two glasses of a pretty decent Barolo (96 Robert Parker points for fellow wine geeks). The pasta dish was okay and the truffle taste was muted as they were quite cold, I stirred them into the pasta sauce a little but in reality a heavy cheese sauce isnt an ideal match with black truffle (and hey I ordered it so my fault on that one). It was the better of the two dishes. Then the beef arrived, it was beautifully presented but it was not a great cut (some sinew in the meat that needed work to cut) and it was warm at best. I ate it all however as it want terrible, it just wasnt as good as the price warranted. The potato puree was disappointing. Like the other food, it wasnt bad but for the price it should have been a whole lot better (16 Euro for a small portion). The puree had not been passed through a tamis (a fine mesh) so it was grainy, there was a lack of seasoning and butter/creme so it was not as rich as I'd have liked at that price. Of course it came with a generous helping of truffle, hence the price. I skipped desert taking a coffee. I paid close to 150 Euros including a good tip as the people there had given me excellent, friendly service. I didnt hate the meal but wouldnt go back next time Im in Rome. Its okay food, beautifully presented and covered in truffles, honestly there is better food in Rome, but like I say the people there are just lovely. read more

We loved everything about Tartufi & Friends!! We were looking for a place to eat Saturday night and googled a few places near our hotel, W Rome. There were a few options, but the menu looked very appealing to us with all the truffle dishes, hence the name of the restaurant. We didn't have reservations, but they were super accommodating and set up a table for my wife and I. Alberto, the Manager/Owner seated us personally and made the best recommendation on a bottle of white wine, which was perfect on a hot 100 F degree / 39 C degree night. We started off with the assorted truffle bruschette, which was such a palate teaser! It was the perfect amount of food to get us started as well as the perfect ratio of toppings to bread. The next course was the Risotto with fresh truffles. It is made to order and takes 25 minutes. Worth every second of wait! My instinct was to just eat it as fast as I could cause it was sooo good! I pulled myself together as I didn't want to look like a tourist with no manners. haha! For our main course, my wife ordered the "Classic" Tagliolini with fresh truffles. very good pasta and surprisingly, not overpowered by the truffles. For me... and hear me out... I got the "Exclusive" Tartufi & Friends Burger. It came highly recommended from Alberto and my goodness did it not disappoint! It was hands down one of the best burgers I've ever had. I picked up my knife and fork and was trying to display table manners, but Alberto says to me "may I make a recommendation? The best way to eat our burgers is with your hands". I looked up at him and said, say less my friend. Haha! My first bite was heaven! the patty was cooked medium rare, and the foie gras that gave it a little bit of richness followed by the truffle shavings was almost more than I could handle. I had to set it down and before my next bite and collect myself. What put this in the top burger for me is the Brioche bun. The way they toasted it and got the outer bun crispy, but the bun itself had a very nice chew and softness to it. I can't say enough about Alberto and his waitstaff. We were so impressed, we came back the next night for dinner and ordered the exact same meal. We honestly would've came back for a third night, but made reservations at Tullio, which in hindsight, was a mistake. Their food was good, but service is less than desirable. Tartufi & Friends, you have a customer and advocate for your restaurant for life. you completed our Italy experience and made it very memorable for me as this was my first time in Rome. Grazie Mille! read more

FOODIE ALERT !! You will walk away buying some gourmet truffle goodies from their selection inside. BEST GOURMET BURGER EVER EVER EVER ! When the owners of Laduree come up with a restaurants, you get.....Tartuffi & Friends. So it's all about the details, truffles, and friendly service here. Only in Rome, Millano, London, and Dubai are you able to experience an entire restaurant about truffles. Black, white, spreads, olive oils, honey, sauces, and desserts revolve around this precious ingredient. We arrived at 6 pm and were seated immediately outside. The most decadent burger is the truffle, foie gras, with truffle fig, truffle mustard and truffle mayo. OMGeeeeeeee, this burger was rich and flavorful. I felt like I was judging a cooking show final dish, it was over the top amazing ! We ended up buying 100€ of olive oils and spreads inside to bring home as gifts. Everyone usually brings home Lemoncello when they come from Italy. Bring home something creative for your foodie friends. The person inside helped me pick out a wonderful selection and he bubble wrapped it too. They were so friendly to our family. Our server brought over Laduree crayons and coloring books which is how I knew it was the same parent company. read more

Made reservations here for lunch because I love truffles and it did not disappoint! A table of 4 split 2 appetizers- the Bufalo Mozzarella w/ honey, tomatoes and truffles and the mini pizzas with pesto, tomato and truffles. Both were good but the Mozzarella was the stand out for sure. The pizzas were more like dough balls- a little donut -like. We each got a pasta for our main course- 3 of us getting the Signature Tagliolino and 1 getting the gnocchi with pesto. All of the plates were licked clean. The Tagliolino was rich but the serving size wasn't too large so it was ok. The gnocchi was the best my husband had ever had. Yum! Highly recommend! We sat outside and it was super quaint and quiet on a very affluent street but the seating was crammed- we didn't have any extra space at all so it would've been more comfortable dining as 2 instead of 4 there. read more

Fantastic meal. We had a magical evening with our family. The ambiance is so lovely with twinkling lights, soft music and nicely appointed tables.The food was exquisite and the service impeccable. We ordered the truffle toast, the spinach salad (incredible), the cheese plate and TWO orders of the Cacio de Pepe because it was that good. A nice surprise was they had a kids menu with hearty portions. My kids crushed the food! I would highly recommend this restaurant. read more

My favorite restaurant in all of Rome! I couldn't even find a comparable truffle dish in Florence.. which of course means I need to go back to Florence ha.. but before I do, I will be back to Tartufi & friends for sure! read more

I cam here with my mom for dinner and had a very average experience. The decor of the restaurant is gorgeous and the waiters are attentive; however, the food is fairly mediocre and that is probably one of the most important factors of consideration for me. We ordered a fillet, classic truffle pappardelle and truffle risotto. The fillet was probably the highlight of the meal, tasting delicious. However, the risotto tasted like it was still a little raw ( the menu said it would be a 20 minute wait but it definitely was a lot shorter) and the pappardelle was too heavy and salty. I feel like more could be done to incorporate the truffle flavor in the dishes, rather then just making it a great photo opp by putting it aesthetically on top of the dish. Regardless, do try this restaurant yourself! read more

Best place to get LEGIT truffle products with high quality. Their truffle oil is REAL truffle oil, not truffle essence mixed with olive oil. Service/Staff were very friendly. Shared recipes with us and even through in a free white truffle (just kidding). Would be great if they got a new website with an online store. read more

Very good food, and perfect location by Piazza di Spagna. Everything and I mean everything is about the truffles. The food was all above average, and the prices were all above average. Worth a try, and the average meal with drinks for 2 is about €100. read more

I found this little gem of truffleheaven while walking randomly in Rome near the most exclusive shopping streets. Knowing that my girlfriend loves truffle we had to experience it. It is a very small place and we were lucky to get a table. Native Romans book the table for lunch so if you can visit before or after lunch hours this is recommended. For starter we had tasteful selected bruchettas and then omelet with black truffle and risotto with white truffle. The owner of the restaurant supervised with a happy smile and even proposed the glass of white wine to enjoy. To top the menu we chose vanilla ice with pine, figs and trufflehoney. This gem of a very special restaurant was the highlight of the day. read more

So here's the thing with this place.... it's tasty... but stupid expensive. We ate at another truffle restaurant the night before that was better food, better seating, better service and half the price. It's nice that they give you the option of black or white truffle on all dishes... but if you want white truffle anything you're shelling out 70 euros or more! The indoor seating is just weird- it's very cramped and they literally serve you on trays. I hate giving lower reviews based on price, but we didn't hold back on ordering truffle dishes while in Italy for 2.5 weeks... and this place was just SO much more expensive than everywhere else, and NOT as good, that it's just not justified. read more

If you are looking for the best truffle spot in Italy, this is it. The bruschetta and truffle pizza are amazing and they even bring you truffle oil to the table. Best meal I've had in Italy. read more

I honestly wanted to love this place, but I wasn't too impressed. My BF and I ordered the selection of bruschetta with the white truffles, and the cacio e pepe with black truffles. Everything was tasty, but could have been better if the truffles were actually cooked into the food (or if the food was hotter), which would make the truffles more flavorful. It seemed like they just put truffle shavings on top of the food, so we couldn't really taste the truffles all that much. The food here is good though, and we would try this place again if we return to Rome someday. read more

Staff were very nice. Food was good, but I had higher expectations for this place. I know I know, it's a chain restaurant. It was no scarpetta's, but I wanted it to be close. Definitely expect better for the these prices. read more

Oh my god where do I start. Quite simply my FAVORITE dinner I've eaten in Rome!! A little piece of heaven from the decor to the service to the truffles..oh the Truffles!! It was so rich and definitely the best truffles I've had. We started with the bruschetta sampler w different types of Truffles spreads to wet our appetites. The dips were amazing! My sister had the risotto and I had the beef fillet and both were so delicious! The manager then walked over and suggested the tiramisu because he said they had just made it a half hour ago and it was in deed so extremely fresh and yummy. The manager was so wonderful and kept checking in on us and as we thought we were done with our magical meal, he bought out a pistachio desert on the house!! So sweet!! To say that we left full and beyond happy is an understatement. We were so pleased w the entire experience that we booked a dinner reservation to come back tomorrow. Def recommend this place! read more

We stop at this place by accident. The restaurant next door had poor service so we just moved over to Tatrufi & Friends for drinks the service and food at Tartufi & Friends was outstanding. In fact we stayed for dinner as well as asking to take a dinner to go for my mother in law. We had 4 in our party we had classic truffle pappardelle and truffle risotto very good. I can't remember what else we ordered but everyone liked what they ordered. The next day we stop again for again for lunch as well as bring home some truffle oil. Paul B.

The food was excellent and the device was great as well. It took 20 minutes to get a bottle of champagne so that is the only reason I didn't give them 5 stars. The fried pizza appetizer was incredible, light marinara and cheese. We had the risotto with truffles for our main course and it was delicious. Highly recommend. read more

Unreal and amazing. Seriously. OMG the truffle oil is amazing on the pasta. If you come to Rome this place is a must. I wish it was in NYC.

Great restaurant which is associated with Harrod's department store. Everything has truffles on it and this obviously makes the food delicious. It is adjacent to the high-end shopping district. They have great outdoor seating and if it gets a little chilly, they have outside heating lamps. We had the Truffle fillet as well as a truffle spaghetti carbonara which was mouth watering delicious. Definitely comes High on my list. read more

My 1st ever review: My daughter and I happened upon this restaurant while walking one evening. I had never eaten truffles before, so thought it would be a nice new experience for the 2 of us. First, the service was impeccable; initially with the host and especially so with our server Giuseppina. Very attentive, and her recommendations were excellent. The Selezione Di Bruschetta starter was amazing. I had the Lasagna Bianca and my daughter had the Tagliolino Cacio & Pepe. Both were fantastic. This is a must stop the next time you are in Rome. read more
