Best place my wife and I ate on our recent trip to Italy. Their ravioli is the best pasta dish either of us have ever had, and they had another pasta dish that had a white sauce with prosciutto/bacon like bits that was also amazing. HIGHLY recommend read more

Excellent food and service. The traditional Roman dishes are exquisite ! The only downside that I have found is the price: each dish is a little expensive. However I strongly suggest going there. read more

This restaurant was recommended to us by our hotel concierge. It did not disappoint. Very large restaurant in the heart of a very happening area. They authentic Roman style. No Pizza! We were shocked but okay with it. We had the Beautiful prosciutto and melon for a first course then we had the amazingly delicious ravioli in a white truffle cream sauce. My daughter had the gnocchi with cherry tomatoes that was probably the best I've ever tasted. I asked for something different. I got the OX tail pasta and the flavor was outstanding. We met a cute couple sitting next to us from Australia, this was their second time back to the restaurant in a week they loved it so much. Highly recommend it for large groups or just go for just some delicious different Italian food. read more

Taverna Trilussa was good, but not great. We came here on the recommendation of our hotel; we found that places recommended to us by locals were far superior to hotel-recommended spots. Located across the river in Trastevere, the menu is printed in Italian and English (usually a tip-off that you're in tourist town) and there were many of those guys hawking lit-up toys in the nearby square. The food was good, but not really any more special than Italian food I'd eat back home in the States. The outdoor seating area was lovely, though, and the waiters were friendly and accommodating. Overall, a very pleasant if not memorable meal. read more

One of my favorite restaurants in Italy. The pasta was wonderful. You must try the Amatriciana - a wonderful combination of thick al dente noodles , cheese and tomato - served right in its own pan. We also had great linguini, salad with 25 year old balsamic vinegar, and some nicely prepared grilled fish. read more

When in Rome, we were recommended by a few people to visit this place for dinner so we made reservations and were excited to try their famous pasta served straight out of the pan. We arrived and were quickly shown to our table, surprised that the entire place was jam packed on a weeknight around 9:30pm. The decor was super cute, and you could feel that the restaurant was buzzing with the energy of the diners and staff that night. Unfortunately our experience was anything but positive. When we sat, we asked for recommendations but were told that everything was good so our next question was regarding portion size and whether the pastas dishes were enough as a main dish or if we should supplement them with another dish. The rude response to my husband was that he looked like he could eat a lot so we should just go ahead and order multiple dishes (the server literally patted my husband's belly as he said this). We were put off by the response and ended up just ordering two pasta dishes (our server was unhappy and rolled his eyes when we said we would stick to just the pasta). We ordered two of their 'best sellers': a carbonara and a marinara. The dishes were seriously nothing to write home about and were served in less than 5 minutes which we found a bit 'fast foody' and strange. Anyways, two pastas, a salad and water cost us over 60 euros which was totally ridiculous. We left pretty unhappy with the service and attitude, not to mention the very blah meal we had just spent almost $100 on! This all being said, we must have come on an off night because several of our friends insisted that we visit Trilussa but nonetheless, we wouldn't come back or recommend it... read more

Excellent Rome Restaurant. I will return. The short 10 minute walk from Campo d'Fiore to Trilussa in Trastevere was well worth it. The restaurant is huge for Rome standards. It's family run for 100 years. The ambiance is very nice with indoor and outdoor sitting. However, I was told that outdoor seating is often reserved up to 5 months ahead on weekends. We were fortunate to get the last table indoors. We spent about E250 for 4 of us including a bottle of wine and this wall well worth it because the service and food are outstanding. For starters we ordered one portion of about 10 different prosciuttos, a fired mozzarella dish, and a capresse salad. All were great. We had truffle spaghetti that was so good for a generous portion that we had to order another one just to stuff ourselves. By far, the best spaghetti I've ever had. We had the sliced beef with vinegar---so very good. Also had their famous ravioli, which was excellent as well. We also shared a pasta amatriciana, (with the Italian bacon, etc.) It is easy to see that 100 years of perfecting their recipes has paid off. I will always return at least twice on future trips. Need reservations. read more

t The food was great but the service horrible. We asked our waiter to help us select a wine from 3 options , he chose a 4th which was 40 euros more, after we declined and selected our own, the service deteroriated rapidly. after receiving the bill and discovering he charged us for " his selection" , he became more rude and insulting. I understand the mentality of being tired of tourists, but his demeanor was over the top to me. I would never recommend patronizing the place based on that. read more

Everything written about the ravioli is true. Really, really good. Service was good too. I'd come back here again.

Best meal I had in Italy by far. The cacio e pepe was unbelievable. It was one of the best things I've ever eaten. Service was attentive and gracious, wine list was excellent. The dessert trio was a lovely end to the meal. Everyone around us was Italian so we knew we were in for a terrific meal! We didn't make a reservation but they fit us in. Go, you won't regret it! read more

The best meal we have had in Rome over the last month! I had three pastas - carbonara, ravioli and amatriciana - all fantastic. Can't wait to go back next week. read more

This restaurant came highly recommended from friends and hotel - I think it's starting to become touristy. We had to send back fritto misto - it was very thick dough, very heavy. The waiter graciously replaced the dish with caprese, which was much better. The cacio e pepe was very heavy on the black pepper - not well balanced. I did enjoy how they served the pasta in the pan on the table. Bucatini all' amatriciana was delicious - I do recommend that dish. Generally, the food was OK but I think they may have lost some of their charm and lowered their standards with all the tourists piling in. read more

The Mimosa Ravioli are the single best thing I have eaten in a long long time. Absolutely MUST come here while you are in Rome.

Expect to spent $50 with a couple of glasses of wine. Very friendly service and helpful with wine selections. They have a huge wine cellar for modest to very expensive. Ah, but it is the cheese that will bring you back here. Start with a cheese plate. We had a cheese plate for 2 for our table of 4. They give you divine bites from strong to mild and heavenly flavors! Truffle infused Parmesan-OMG. Try the steak tartar or the sliced beef with aged Balsamic vinegar. For sides, artichoke and get the spinach too! Any pasta will be wonderful! Two pastas m, a couple of sides, cheese, and two entrees plus dessert. Wonderful spot in an interesting and great neighborhood to wander about in after dinner. read more

We ate here based on other Yelper's reviews. We enjoyed the food, but not the service. We were staying in Trastevere in September and didn't have a reservation so there were no outdoor tables; but we were seated immediately inside. We ordered the cheese platter to start, and it was amazing; however, no bread was served with it and our waiter was MIA, so we just ate the cheese! The other truly outstanding thing was the Tiramisu. I have never seen what the big deal is in the US; but this was entirely different than grocery store Tiramisu; WOW! We were a little disappointed with the Mimosa Ravioli, which was highly recommended; it had a very rich, thick sauce and mostly just cheese inside. We also ordered the oxtail, which I liked but my son didn't care for as well. The prices for any of their steak dishes was very high, and everything was expensive. The main reason for only 3 stars is the service. Our server did not seem very friendly, and we weren't sure if he was offput with us being American, my son's piercings, or was just not very friendly. In the end I decided it was probably a language barrier; they probably put the English speaking servers outside with all of the tourists, and the Italian only speakers inside with the locals; still, he could have made us feel more comfortable instead of making it awkward and uncomfortable. read more

Great atmosphere with an overwhelmingly huge wine list! Pasta was made fresh and the sauce was incredible!

This was one of our favorite restaurants on our honeymoon. Bucatini and carbonara were the best I've ever had. Get the fried artichokes and tiramisu. You will not be disappointed. Really cool decor and tennis rackets on the wall. Great service. Table is yours for the night of you want it. read more

Pasta served in the pot with which it was made. not a Gimmick but a blessing. That way you can clean every last morsel with bread. Wow. 4 different pastas at our table and each was unique and memorable. Great place full of friendly locals. read more

Wow, one of my favorite restaurants while in italy. We ate at nice restaurants for 10 nights straight. This place was great. Pasta was awesome, wine was great and the steak was awesome, don't freak on the pink it is cooked perfectly. The ambiance was fun and beautiful. We were inside, if you can get a table on the patio, looked amazing. The area was really cool and had a long street stretching down to walk after dinner and grab a wine to walk with. Lots of locals on this side of town. read more

We came here in a group of eight people and was able to sample and share many different kinds of antipasto. From cured meat to cheeses to salads. All are very tasty. The balsamic vinegar is sweet and intense. That's probably the highlight of the dinner. The pasta and main courses are pretty good with their trademark pasta served in the pot it's cooked in to allow you to scooped up the sauce with bread. This was one of our best meals in Rome and the quality is reflected in the price. read more

Absolutely amazing! It was our last night and Rome and we couldn't have picked a better spot!! Down a cute little alleyway with nice bushes and scenery. We ordered the suppili which were delicious, reminded me exactly how my grandma used to make them growing up! Also got a cheese and salami board, which was a little over priced for the amount they gave you but still delicious! They did charge for bread which we weren't aware of bc we didn't even ask for extra and they brought a second basket over and realized when we got the bill they were $2 each. I got the fettuccine which was amazing! My husband got the dish with the tomato sauce and bacon (couldn't remember the name) but both very enjoyable! We loved that they brought the meals out in the pots still! Really unique and made it a true Roman experience! The wine was also one of the bests we had while we were in Rome! Can't stop there... Then for dessert my husband for the lemon sorbet can't complain about that and I got the crostata di pinoli and omg I didn't want to stop eating it, it was so good! Overall excellent experience. Wait staff was super friendly, some knowing English better then others. We had to ask a couple times to talk to the other waitress bc the one we had wasn't understanding but she still always remained polite and professional! read more

Living in NYC we are spoiled. This gorgeous restaurant with a wonderful owner is the best place I've been. We were blown away by the food and the service. Thrilled to be going back soon! read more

Excellent food. Fantastic traditional Pasta and great menu!

Second time, not as good as last year. Sloppy and too much water on Pepi and caci and fried apps not fresh. Go to Armando's near Parthenon thats a wow. read more

The Bombolotti alls Norcina was life changing. The pasta was cooked to perfection and the bacon almost melted in your mouth. We took the recommendation from the server and went with the lamb shank. It also was cooked flawlessly. It had a crispy outside while in inside was moist. I can't forget the potatoes that also had a crisp to them. I'm a 100% a sweets person and was so full I could eat any.....:(. The price was more than reasonable for the food and service. read more

Excellent food with a very cosy feeling. Very reasonable price. Polite staff. Very little to complain about. My husband and i ordered fried mozzarella which was very delicious. Highly recommend making a reservation as the restaurant gets very busy. read more

Came here with my wife and two other couples for a wedding anniversary celebration while on holiday. We were able to snag a table on the patio, so we were able to enjoy the buzz of the city while having dinner. The service throughout the night was great, even though we may have overstayed our welcome and almost closed the restaurant down. I started with the suppli (similar to arancini but with a ball of cheese in the centre and tomato based rice instead of risotto), then moved on to the Bomboletti al Carbonara. I thoroughly enjoyed both! The suppli was crunchy with tasty innards, and the Carbonara.... oh, the Carbonara... The guanciale was fried and crispy, which added a nice texture to the dish, which was rich and creamy just as it should be. Definitely one of their best dishes! I also tried the cacio e pepe, which might have beaten out the carbonara if it wasn't for the guanciale. I snagged a bite of my wife's lamb, which was also really delicious -rich and moist with some perfectly salted and roasted potatoes. Tiramisu -a little dense, but great flavours Service, food and ambience were excellent. Well recommended for sure! read more

My wife and I ate here tonight after carefully reviewing so much positive commentary. Perhaps we just got unlucky, but the entire experience was quite negative. We sat indoors and though my wife and I both prefer a restaurant (and pretty much anything else) on the "full" air conditioning side, the restaurant was positively, uncomfortably cold, with 4 large air conditioners in the ceiling, all apparently going full throttle. The woman next to me asked the waitress for a blanket, and she promptly brought her one wrapped in plastic, as if she were a flight attendant. Apparently the "I'm freezing" complaint is a common one. My wife and I were uncomfortably cold the entire meal. The bread arrived, stiff and, frankly, more or less inedible, with no olive oil, no butter, or anything else to help push it down. Our entrees then arrived before we even had a chance to order a glass of wine; the waiter was apparently eager to see us eat and leave. The food was barely passable, with my pasta dish extremely salty and my wife's steak drowning in what appeared to be a small pool of steak sauce. Such a disappointment. How is it possible, I wonder, that so many reviewers loved their pastas? And mine surely did not come in a pan; it came in a white bowl and was relatively cool almost as soon as it hit the table, thanks to the glacial blast coming from the ceiling. While I wanted dessert, I was quite cold and, amazingly, the restaurant had booked half of the inside dining room to a loud wedding party. This made the entire room loud even when people weren't standing up and giving speeches (in English.) When I left I expressed to the waiter my frustration that the dining room had been doubly uncomfortable, both loud and cold. He gave a me a look that clearly conveyed he did not care about my opinion in the least. Yes, the restaurant has received many excellent reviews ... but I would not go back if you paid me. It was among the worst disappointing dining experiences of recently memory. And 1 spinach, 1 cheese ball, 1 pasta dish , 1 steak-like entree, 2 glasses of wine ... $90. No bargain, that's for sure. Read the reviews carefully and you'll see that my experience was, unfortunately not so uncommon - I read the negative reviews, too, but chose to believe the majority of "we loved it!" people. read more

If you want really fresh pasta,good patio and service this is the place. Surprisingly we walked right in with no reservations. Had a salami platter but should have had the zucchini flower after trying it later in our trip. Service was excellent and the area is not intimidating and good for couples and groups. read more

Excellent excellent food!!! There must be a real Italian grandma back there cooking. Made from scratch taste and fresh pasta delivered to your table in the pan! My husband and I ate here on Saturday. We chose this place because of the highly recommended Trastevere area and great reviews. We arrived around 9:45 and all the outside tables were for reservations. I 'd recommend making a reservation on the weekend. We ate inside and atmosphere was quaint and authentic. I ordered the mimosa ravioli...pretty sure the menu said this was award winning. I'd have to agree!!! The grilled artichokes were also bursting with flavor! The menu is costly though. To have all five courses would be over 100 euro per person. We stuck with pasta for our main dish. We also ordered 1/2 liter of house wine in a carafe about 10 euro. For dessert, the pana cotta was a delicious end to our meal. Our bill was around 70 euro total. Not bad for an authentic Italian meal!! read more

Way overrated ! Pasta was good but not worth the $$$! You can get the same quality of food else where for 1/2 the price. Costumer serine was bad, ambience was snotty! Stick with a smaller restaurant and save yourself some money. read more

Pasta gets 5 stars but the grilled lamb gets 1 star. We tried the Bucatini all'Amatriciana and the gnocchi and both were outstanding. Super fresh pasta served right in the frying pan. Wish we had stopped with the food right then, because we certainly had eaten enough and the Grilled Lamb was a huge disappointment! It was extremely fatty and way, way over done. read more

Taverna Trilussa - Bucatini all'Amatriciana - Roman Near Me - Rome, RM

One of our top meals while traveling through Europe. Excellent service and the food was out of this world!! Mozzarella with Prosciutto appetizer, grilled artichokes, ravioli mimosa, Brunello wine and so much more! We almost went a 2nd night but ran out of time. read more

Easily our best meal in Rome. The whole neighborhood is great. Recommend going here after a day in crowds. And the restaurant is fantastic. Huge selection of meats and cheeses and big wine list. We all opted for pasta and it was great. Everyone loved theirs. And our waiter picked a bottle of wine for us which we loved. Also I saw mentions of needing a reservation. We were able to get in and seated right away without one though we had to sit inside. read more

top-notch service; brilliant, beautiful seating inside & out; incredible/delectable menu;

The atmosphere of this restaurant is quite nice, with outdoor seating, ivy covered walls, and walls made of shrubbery. The homemade bread has just the right amount of crunchiness on the outside and soft on the inside. For the main course we had pasta carbonara - absolutely wonderful!! The flavors are carefully blended into a creamy sauce with perfectly fried bacon. It became a little salty at the end, but still great. Would return here on our next trip to Rome. read more

Awesome food. This style of cuisine was more rich and creamy than the other restaurants in the area. The carbonara was incredible and so was the ravioli, the one on the top of the menu that talks about the award. The service was great too. One of our best meals in Italy. The funniest part of the evening was when my husband spotted Guy Fieri from the Food Network. He was having dinner doing an interview with cameras. read more

The location is 5 star, but that isnt why we go to a restaurant, is it. We did enjoy our meals, but considering Taverna Trilussa is a higher end Italian joint, we expected to have our socks knocked off. While the food was good, it wast great. I would go 3.4 stars, but since I cant, 3 is more fitting than 4. read more

Absolutely amazing food, ambiance and service. Truly one of our fondest memories of our Rome experience. The Carbonara and Amatriciana were incredible. This place should be the top dining choice for the true Rome experience. read more

This place knows what they're doing. The decor is great, the atmosphere is so pleasant, and the food is even better. My friend and I came by on a Tuesday night around 9/10 and didn't have to wait for a table (though we did have to sit inside). We split a bottle of house red and the mimosa ravioli to start, and then both ordered steaks. My grilled fillet came out a little rarer than I'm used to, but it was still absolutely delicious (and came with roasted potatoes and mustard on the side). Even though we were about to burst, we managed to split their trio of little desserts that I think were chocolate mousse, tiramisu, and millefoglie. Such a nice evening!! read more
