Get the Mimosa Ravioli. If you are on a diet, forget about it for one evening. This was the greatest dish I wish I had ordered myself instead of stealing bites off my wife's plate. I still have erotic dreams about this meal. Once again the Yelp hype actually turned out to be true. We caught a good night, maybe, or that was simply the greatest italian meal I have ever or may ever have. read more

If you're looking for a place where they seat all of the non-Italians together then ridicule you -- look no further. I don't think they realize (or care) that some of us understand Italian. Not a fun experience. The food was ok but it's not the only thing that's important. Just skip it - there are plenty of other places where you will feel truly welcome. read more

You MUST go here. Food was absolutely incredible from the bread to the dessert! It's fun to eat your pasta (Omg SO DELISH!) right out of the pan! The carbonara was perfection. The attentive staff were helpful and right on the ball. Pannacotta with berries perfect way to end the best meal i've had in Iraly Bonus Trastevere is a quaint area to be in as well! YOU WILL LOVE THIS PLACE! read more

Great ambiance and very authentic dishes. Great presentation as food comes in the pans in which they were made. Only complaint is that the pasta was way too salty for my taste, but otherwise pretty good... read more

Great meal in the bohemian area Trastevere. My wife on recommendation from the hotel concierge tried the restaurant and were not disappointed. Highly recommend it for a very good Italian meal. read more

Loved dining on the patio here on a warm summer night with good friends. I graciously thank the waiter for helping me to NOT order lamb's brains (non parlo Italiano). We shared some wonderful appetizers, and moved on to pasta - we each ordered something different - all served in pans, all delicious. We should have stopped here, but emboldened by wine and "when in Rome-itis" we moved on to succulent meat courses and subsequently heaved our swollen bodies out the door after wisely passing on dessert. Then we walked a block or so and got gelato. I mean, when in Rome. . read more

I could review each dish individually but my words will not do their flavor justice. This is one of the best meals I've had in Roma...a city where I've never had a bad meal! Highly recommended by three different concierges (esp. when we asked for a place where we'd be the only Americans visiting). I hate to help expose this hidden gem in Roma for fear of ruining it but really it's just too good to not share. Don't waste your time reading this (or other) reviews, just go make your reservation and eat here. BTW, like most Italian dishes, the pictures don't even come close to representing how good the meal taste. No fancy presentation (in fact, their most famous pasta dish is put down in front of you still in the frying pan!), just 100% attention to fresh ingredients, traditional methods and amazing flavor! If you're still reading, these are the must order dishes: appetizers: Fiori di Zucca (Deep-fried zucchini flower) Carpaccio di Filetto Fatti in casa da mia moglie Maria (grilled Artichokes) first: Ravioli Mimosa Bucatini all' Amatriciana second: Stinco di Agnello da latte al forno con patate read more

Very authentic place, where local families come to eat. The appetizers were magnificient. Deep fried mozzarella, White truffle bruschetta and 36 month old dry-aged ham. Good god that was good. Main courses were terrific, and at a very fair price. We were 3 people, and ate good for 180€. Service were great too! But that's of course relative in Italy. This place is worth a visit! read more

two words -10 stars this Trattoria was by far the BEST meal I had in Italy between Florence , Roma and Tuscany. I knew I was in the right place when beside me sat Guy Fieri of Food Network fame, he was so engaging and genuine especially with my family. Guy Fieri always makes people feel good with his positive energy and complimentary nature , and he really made our evening special, thank you Guy. Now for the food: 36 month aged prosciutto that melted in your mouth, Buffalo Mozzarella so delicate , pasta courses Bucatini w cream sauce, ham and pepper ,Penne Arabica , and roast lamb that was unreal. Summary DO NOT MISS AN OPPORTUNITY TO DINE HERE !!!! read more

Wow is all you can say at the Taverna Trilussa. Starting with the service and fabulous ambiance, the table side preparation is as good as it gets. The Truffle Veal Meatballs got me planning my next trip to Rome. Wine selection has something for everyone and dessert finish off a culinary delight. read more

The best restaurant in Italy. We wanted to go back to Rome just to eat here again. We recommend everyone going to Italy eats here. Delicious! Highly recommend the cheese board, cacio pepe, and ravioli! read more

What a fabulous meal we had here. The cacio e Pepe was fabulous. The house red wine was dry and wonderful. The special tagliatelle pasta was outstanding. I do feel Americans get less than the best treatment. Be sure to ask for olive oil and basalmic for the bread. They brought it out to the tables where we herd Italian spoken. We should have asked. Don't pass the place. We will return again read more

This place is amazing. A great traditional Roman menu. Fantastic pastas, and several kinds of prosciutto to choose from. Probably my favorite place in Rome. read more

The hotel clerk said this place was gods, but.... Just so so at best. Pasta was good, about as good as I can get in Chicago. Lamb was over cooked, steak was tough. They got a lot of tourists business. Maybe for others who are not as critical as us would like this place. Personally my wife and I will not go back there again. I think many little no name restaurants in Rome are much better than this place. read more

Mille Foglia!!!!!!!!! I don't even know if I'm spelling it right but up until that moment, nothing had really knocked me out foodwise (it was my first day) until I had this dessert. I love flaky pastry and this was a yummy cup of a light custard and small chunks of great chocolate with crumbled flakiness on top (see picture). It's a spacious place but it definitely gets packed. Make reservations if you want to sit outside. Mimosa ravioli was delicious and cheese plate was lovely as well. The hazelnut cake was also very good. read more

On our last night of an absolutely awesome two week Italian vacation, my family and I visited this cozy restaurant located on the side street Via del Politeama just off the river Tiber in Rome. I can only endorse the recommendation provided by our Guide Marco who took us through an absolutely educational, fun and informative tour of the Roman Forum and Colosseum the day before, when asked if he could suggest a really nice restaurant that served tasty Italian food. To our delight we ended up at one of the most warm, charming and truly Italian restaurants in Rome. Absolutely pleasant and helpful staff served us the most delicious food, perfectly displayed and prepared by a crafty Italian chef. We were not at all disappointed and it truly was a fantastic end to a wonderful vacation. Would definitely visit Taverna Trilussa restaurant once in Rome again. read more

I work in New York City and have been privileged enough to go to a number of great restaurants around the world. This may have been my favorite dinner of all time. My wife and I had the tasting menu, five amazing courses each paired with the perfect wine. Yes, we may need to sell one of our kids to pay for it, but it just might be worth it. From the baked mozzarella appetizer to the fried artichoke to the incredible ravioli and spaghetti, each course was a delight. And the wine pairings were perfect. The service was also attentive without being overbearing- we lingered in true Roman fashion. Sit outside when you go and give that tasting menu a try - you won't be sorry. read more

Without a reservation, we arrived early (by 7:15) and sat inside. The place has a great atmosphere, stocked to ceiling with wine, plus cured meats and dried spices hanging from the rafters, aged cheeses in rustic old cases, and pasta served in pans. Take advantage of that and order the wine, charcuterie and cheese plates! The pastas, ravioli mimosa and amatriciana, may be the best I've ever had in my life. The lamb shank, while well-cooked, was not so special, but the veal oxtail was delicious. The local wine our server recommended was so soft, smooth and strong that I felt sorry for Napa valley. I was almost too full to thoroughly enjoy my affogado (espresso over gelato) for dessert. The staff was friendly and helpful, despite my lack of Italian, and everyone there enjoyed the convivial evening, from elegant old couples to boisterous 5th birthday party girls. Later we meandered inefficiently back through the small lanes, where people poured between bars and restaurants, to the nearby taxi stand on the square. (Don't take unlicensed cabs). The staff will give you directions. read more

We were visiting from Hawaii when we decided to eat here for dinner. This place was full of local families. I ordered the artichokes, salad, a pasta dish, and dessert. Way too much food for me, no salad next time. I would eat again, and totally recommend. I love that the dishes come out in the pans, it gives it such personality. Our table also ordered a cheese plate, and other pasta dishes. All in all we had a fabulous dinner and the staff was great. We made reservations and ate early (when they first opened), and the restaurant got full throughout the meal. read more

The Amatriciana is served in a frying pan. Everything was delicious. read more

Great tasting food and exceptional service which is really hard to come by in Rome. We wanted to sit outside but I think because we were tourists in a restaurant that had very few to none they said that nothing was available until 11 and it appeared pretty empty and it was 9pm. Either way we were still happy sitting inside and the food was delicious. Only issue I had was the cover charge they charged us which I believe is not allowed I'm Rome anymore (I could be wrong but I think locals don't get charged that fee). Other than that really tasty pasta which is really authentic and exactly what you want to be eating when you are visiting Italy. read more

LOVE this restaurant so much that we often go multiple times while we are in Rome! Not only is the food delicious but the atmosphere is wonderful! They serve their pasta in the pan they cook it in- so Delicious! read more

Outstanding meal in a great neighborhood. We foolishly didn't make reservations, but were able to negotiate our way to an inside table. I had the bucatini, my wife the ravioli mimosa, and our daughter the lasagna, and all were delicious and perfectly prepared. It was lively but not too crowded, and our own regret was we didn't get to sit outside their patio. read more

This place has all the making of a rustic, romantic Tuscany restaurant. But the food was mediocre and the service was just.. okay. Definitely did not feel like it was worth the price they were charging. read more

This was the best dinner I had on my visit to Roma. I would say you HAVE to get their special ravioli. It was truly one of the best things I've ever eaten. My boyfriend got the gnocchi, which was also amazing--but nothing topped the ravioli. We started with the cheese board and had a side of their roasted potatoes with our dinner. For dessert we got a little taster version of three of their desserts. An amazing dinner and we were STUFFED. read more

This was our first dinner in Rome. It had good reviews and it was recommended by our hotel concierge. There was a good mix of locals and tourists. At least 5 or 6 people stopped by trying to walk in without a reservation and all were turned away. Make a reservation if you want to eat here. It was some of the best pasta we had on our trip. (note- none of the pasta we had was bad :)) read more about our food tour on my site read more

Great dinner!! We had to make reservations to dine in since it's a busy spot.We sat on the patio which made the difference on our evening. So lovely! Monica and Alex were very nice. Definitely going back on my next time in Rome. read more

Beautiful patio that I want to immediately replicate in our back yard. One of the top three service level experiences we had on our 11 day trip across Italy. Pasta was nicely al dente and presented in a lovely way. Make a reservation or you will most likely be waiting a while. Mostly locals with a few tourists like us mixed in! Our order: Grilled Artichoke -Good, but you should save room for the pasta Mixed Greens Salad -After 8 days of pizza and pasta, we needed this haha Ravioli Mimosa -Nice and light. Good ravioli. Has won national awards Caccio e Pepe -Best nite of the night. MUST ORDER. Perfect amount of pepper and chew on the pasta. Served in the pan it is cooked in. Creme Brûlée -Wife loved it! Has raspberries inside read more

I had one of the more memorable meals of my life at Taverna Trilussa. We arrived at about 9pm and had no problem grabbing a table for 2 inside. Our waiter, Adriano, was friendly and helpful - especially with our broken Italian. He graciously guided us through the menu in English even suggesting his favorite dish at the time, the Ravioli Mimosa. My boyfriend could not have loved the ravioli more and my Bucatini all' Amatriciana was delicious. We washed our meal down with the most delicious bottle of local wine. The rustic ambiance set the tone for this lovely date night. Would absolutely revisit again and again! read more

One of our favorite meals in Rome and maybe ever. Authentic, award winning Italian dishes. Fantastic Aperol spritz. Friendly to kids. Just enough off the beaten path to cater to locals but still easy to find. 100% recommend. read more

We ate here on our last night in Rome and it was amazing. My wife found this online from Rick Stevens' recommendation. I had the Coda alla Vaccinara (Oxtail with raisins, pine nutes and chocolate), and my wife had the Bucatini all' Amatriciana (Thick hollow spaghetti with tomato sauce, guanciale bacon and Pecorino cheese). We also had a side of Grilled aubergines and courgettes (eggplant and zucchini). The waiter asked us for reservations but we were last minute sitting. No problem and had some bread with olive oil to munch on before main course. I had to ask whether water was included but it was not as expected since there is table service. So, we just had our own bottled water to drink. Yes, it is spendy but you are only in Italy once in a lifetime so to speak. Anyways, it took me some time to dissect the meat from the ox tail bones which my wife was impressed. By that time, the meat was cold but my wife enjoyed my scraps that worked so hard for to share with her. Be sure to use your GPS to find it since there are many alleyways which you can get lost. read more

This was one of the most memorable meals I consumed while in Rome for three weeks. The ravioli dish is incredible. Not cheap, but you'll dream about it years later. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Rome! read more

Trilussa was recommend to me by a friend as a "can't miss" place for dinner when traveling to Italy this past summer. He was definitely right with one exception. I would give this place a high 4, if not 5, but I'm not a fan of being charged "coperto" when it's customary in Italy EXCEPT for the Lazio region (which includes Rome). We noticed many people questioning their bills, but we were not savvy enough to ask to have the charge removed. We noticed the charge, but brushed it off as we assumed it was customary. It wasn't until after until we realized otherwise. Food - 5 stars ...this is why you should go... Service - 4 1/2 stars ...this is why you should go... Bullsh*t cover charge - 0 stars ...this is why you should stay away... read more

My expectations were very high for Taverna Trilussa after a personal recommendation from a friend, and also after reading such phenomenal reviews. However, I left feeling underwhelmed by the entirety of the experience. My wife and I were seated in a sort of back room of the restaurant by the meat slicer, and provided with one of the least-attentive and forgetful servers I have encountered on my Italy trip thus far. It is not uncommon to have service that takes a while in Italy, and I do not have begrudge the country's restaurant scene for that. In fact, I understand it to be a cultural difference and try and be less type A in my Italian meal settings. I DO, however, have a problem when after ordering champagne and appetizers, the appetizers do not arrive! After my wife and I finished our champagne, our primi entrees arrived. I was honestly surprised after the server apologized for his mistake, took our pasta entrees away, and arranged for our appetizer to be brought to the table. Our champagne-less appetizer of prosciutto & bufala was quite good; not the best we've had, but certainly not the worst, either. Next, our pasta courses arrived, again. The homemade ravioli had a mac & cheese flavor to it, and it was quite nice. It would have been MUCH better paired with a great meat dish and a big Napa Cab like is permissible in US, but it was still good. Not mind-blowing like the pizza I ate in Florence the other night, but a solid 7.5/10. We also ordered their famous bucatini, and it too was good. Not the best pasta I've had in Italy, or even in the states for that matter, but good. I don't think it was homemade, and it was over sauced, but it was still better than most pasta dishes in America. I'll give it a 7/10. The steak that I ordered was VERY below-average. Luckily it was edible. The American child next to me sent his back. I then promptly asked for the bill, waited 45 minutes, and felt like I received a swift kick to the nutz after I saw a charge on the bill for 2 orders of "pane," (or bread, to us ignorant Americans). Now, I did not order either basket of bread, and am fortunate that an additional 3 euros will not make-or-break my checking account, but the principle behind the action, paired with the abysmal-level of service we received, did not leave a nice taste in my mouth, thus served as the impetus for this review. read more

Delicious dinner! Sit outside in the summer for a nice evening meal. Ignore the motorbikes that as by. Skip the cold cuts, for Italy I've had much better- it was below average. What gave this place 4 stars were the amazing pastas. Yummy yummy bucatini and carbonara!! I want to go back to try the ravioli! Despite whatever mystery meat it is! read more

We enjoyed the excellent food and ambience of the outdoor patio. The zucchini blossoms were light and delicious. The concierge at our hotel told us the restaurant was known for fresh pastas and the carbonara and bucatini alla Amatriciana did not disappoint. We also ordered a sliced beef filet with porcini mushroom special which turned out to be our favorite dish. Wine menu also impressive. read more

Wow, was Tripadvisor and Yelp wrong on this place. Tourist Trap. High prices. Stuffy atmosphere with no music in the main dining room. Yes, the pasta in the pan was kind of cool, but for 22 euros? come on.. read more
