I come to Rome annually with my family and this is our favorite restaurant. Such a nice environment and the friendliest staff. But the food truly makes it, great seafood, pastas, appetizers, vegetables, etc. A restaurant you have to go to if visiting Rome. read more

So very welcoming and friendly! Food was fantastic. It's an intimate place but so very wonderful. We went back twice and the owners were lovely. Highly recommend going here. read more

Small little out of the way restaurant that will blow your mind. Seats about 25 people. The boss lady has been running this place for over 35 years. Her best friend retired and comes to help out on a regular basis. We were told they didn't have gnocchi on the menu because "She was off work the day before" ha ha that's how fresh everything is. Owners makes all the pasta in house. From start to end every dish was a winner. I tried to get them to open for breakfast the next day but the owners just laughed at me. I was serious! This is a must, when in Rome. read more

Very good and close to the Spanish steps. Lovely owner that comes out to make recommendations and conversation.

There's a reason it's #1 on Yelp! We actually stumbled upon this restaurant and it was the best mistake ever made. Had 9:00 reservations at a restaurant called something Ripetta. Saw the sign on the outside and thought this was it and we walked in. There was no reservation but they were nice enough to seat us. I did learn the name of the street was Ripetta, hence the confusion. What an incredible meal! The moment we walked inside from start to finish, it was fabulous. The two women ( I think they are the owners) were so welcoming and helpful. They add so much character to this charming place. The food was excellent and the presentation beautiful. By far this was one of the best meals I had in Italy! read more

We had such a wonderful time at this restaurant. The chef was gracious and provided delicious desserts-crème brûlée and tiramisu! Estefania and Paola were so attentive throughout the evening. We had the tuna tartare, Angus steak, codfish over butternut squash purée, octopus, and pasta and clams. The atmosphere was cozy and warm and the best. I highly recommend!! read more

The place is small and quaint, only 8 tables, so make a reservation. The menu is so custom that it is literally hand-written by the owners. Food was excellent. We had ravioli and ossobuco, with fresh mozzarella as an appetizer. The wine paired beautifully. Dessert wasn't my favorite, but I suspect that was more about what was served and not the quality. I still give it 5 stars and will come here every time I'm in Rome. read more

We had a delightful experience. The food was excellent from appetizers to dessert. The ambiance is lovely, tasteful yet comfortable. Everyone we encountered wait staff, chef and owner were friendly and accommodating. I felt as if I was visiting family for dinner. read more

Intimate out of the tourist way this little gem of a restaurant has charm and offers exceptional fresh dishes carefully crafted by a talented chef. Make it a point to find this phenomenal ristorante. We will return for sure. read more

The ambiance was very small and cozy. It felt like a true authentic Italian restaurant. The service wasn't great. As we were waiting for the waitress to take our order, she was drying glasses the entire time. After we received our food, she never checked to see if we needed anything or enjoyed our meal. She was not attentive, especially with only two parties in the restaurant. The food was absolutely amazing. They didn't bring our meals out together, but the pasta we ordered was delicious and very authentic. read more

We have a general rule not to visit the same restaurant twice when traveling. We made an exception for this place! Every dish we ordered was fantastic and the wine selection is equally great. The owners and their pup made the experience lively and entertaining. Highly recommend. read more

The best meal we had in Rome. The menu doesn't have English translations, but it's easy to use Google Translate. They don't really speak or understand much English, but they try their best. The service was amazing, and the host was so sweet. I absolutely loved the Risotto con Gamberi. Definitely the best risotto I've ever had in my life. The Ravioli Ricotta e Spinaci was delicious as well. If this place wasn't lovely enough already, there's a dog at the restaurant who keeps everyone company during their meal. I wish I knew about this place sooner, I would have had dinner every night here. read more

The best Florentine steak we had in Italy! Everything we ate was delicious! And we were given a shot glass of limoncello gratis

Excellent experience! High quality food served by the owner herself. Highly recommend a reservation.

Previous reviews led me here. They were correct small restaurant and I got there before 7:30 when they opened. Nice service one lady didn't speak much English but was nice and helpful. Food was great. I had an excellent black angus carpaccio with arugula and Parmesan. Served with lemon and oil it was delicious and savory. The spinach and ricotta ravioli was excellent and went well with fresh basil on top and house wines. For desert I had a chocolate deleche flan with fresh mint on top. Excellent. read more

Sooo good. The best restaurant I have tried in Roma so far. It is like a home kitchen, not big but very cozy. The food is unbelievable and not pricey at all, especially the wine. The hosts are two kind ladies very iconic and got a decent taste of wine. read more

If you are reading this please know this is one of the best homemade pasta in Rome! This place is were the locals go to eat as a local recommended this place to us so we kept spreading the word to others. It is a little of walk outside the main tourist spots but it is worth it. The food tasted like they made everything that afternoon and placed it in front of us as it was so fresh! The service was prompt and friendly with true locals chatting and laughing in the background. Pictures can't do this place justice as you have to go and experience it yourself . If you are in Rome why are you still reading this? Go find a map and eat here! read more

In a word, incredible. We didn't use the menu, just asked for the owner's favorites. She started us with the best gnocchi I've ever had with a fresh tomato sauce, super smooth with excellent flavor. She followed it up with a perfect medium rare taglieta with balsamic vinegar sauce and arugula, and ended up with a wonderful caprese. All in all, wonderful service, amazing food, and a note from my wife: great bathroom! read more

Just plain delicious food. Traditional Italian restaurant where the locals come and the owners know the regular guests. Let the waiter choose the wine and go for a nice calamari risotto or one of the meals with meat. Everything looked and smelled delicious. The menu card is only in Italian but the waiter is ready to translate to English. The restaurant had a couple of cakes as well which tasted home made and is also recommended. Just go there read more

Small surprising wonderful place. Not much English but great food and service. Beats any of the tourist stops we have been too.

This restaurant was a pleasant surprise. It was recommended by our Italian host so we decided to try. The owner is super nice and steps in when the patron has problem with Italian or waitress with English language. The food is very good and I would recommend it. The wine paired with the meal was very good too. read more

A small, intimate restaurant with an owner that takes a personal interest in every dish and every customer. We went there for lunch with a group of about 15 on a NY Metropolitan Museum art tour of Rome. The owner brought out one appetizer after another, each one delicious, by the time we reached the end of the appetizers, it was hard to even imagine eating the main courses. But we persevered! Everything was was cooked and presented beautifully. Great local wines on offer. Would definitely like to go there again and see what's for dinner! read more

Fantastic, authentic meal with personal touches and attention. Seafood pasta, antipasto, and wine were as good as it gets.

Lovely lunch. My favorite kind of Roman restaurant for lunch. Serious business people having a good meal with friends and colleagues. Not too many tourists (like us). The proprietress is welcoming. We also loved the wine list. read more

We stopped into Taverna di Ripetta for lunch on a Thursday afternoon. This is exactly the kind of place we love in Rome...a tiny, family owned restaurant that makes you feel as though you are having a meal inside someone's private home. The chef came out and explained that because it was lunchtime, their entire menu was not available. He suggested certain dishes based upon our preferences, and all of his suggestions were great....our meals were fabulous. The house wine was great. Our hostess/owner, Fatima and a friend of the family who was visiting the restaurant made us feel welcome. It was our best dining experience in Rome---and that is saying a lot, because we had a lot of great meals in Rome. read more

Our best meal in Rome! The owner is a sweetheart who puts out an amazing spread of food! Go check this place out, you won't be disappointed! read more

Just dropped by after reading some reviews, we were lucky as the friendly lady boss accepted us as we saw she just turned down at least two parties of two. Or is it we were abit earlier as when we dropped by there was only a couple was dining. Great food - pasta and meat and the economical wine when I asked her to recommend a reasonable price - Toscana. Highly recommended to those who are in Rome and near Spanish steps. read more
