I can go as far as to say that my dinner at Taverna Trilussa last week was one of the best meals I've ever had... I'm SO glad I had the chance to eat dinner here on my vacation to Rome. I had called for reservations a few days in advance and when calling the women I spoke with said it would not be possible to get a reservation and they did not accept walk ins. After hearing all of the great recommendations from friends to go here for dinner, I was bummed to hear this from the restaurant. We had a long day out and decided to head out to dinner around 9:30/10pm and have Taverna Trilussa a shot. When we arrived, the host said it wouldn't be a problem and we waited about 10 minutes. So glad I didn't listen to the woman on the phone and showed up later. For starters we ordered a salad and the fried mozzarella. The cheese was unlike anything I've ever had, simple and more breading that I was expecting, but very delicious. For the main pastas, we ordered the ravioli mimiosa and the truffle pasta. Both were absolutely incredible, however, I expected to like the truffle pasta more and ended up LOVING the ravioli. There's a reason this dish has won awards. Desert we ordered chocolate mousse and sabayon, which were both very delicious as well. You can't miss Taverna Trilussa if you're visiting Rome! Also, found this restaurant to be extremely reasonable for all that we ordered. Coming from New York, there's no where you can go and order a bottle of excellent wine, 2 appetizers, 2 main dishes, 2 desserts for around $130 dollars. . read more

YUM! Best carbonara and cacio e pepe we had during our trip. Service was lovely. The pasta coming out in the pans that they're made in, beautiful touch. This was where we had dinner our first night in Rome and what a lovely experience it really was. read more

Mama Mia this is good chow! This is my favorite spot in Rome. I had the Bucatini alla Gricia and it blew my socks right off! The rest of the food looked amazing as well. Kate got the gnocchi with tomatoes, basil, and fresh búfalo mozzarella. Desert was the chocolate mousse and it is my favorite. What a great meal. Atmosphere excellent. You are surrounded by ham and that is never bad. The service is most excellent and very friendly. Price is right. read more

A must do restaurant in Rome. It's an icon and deservingly so. Ravioli Mimosa and L'Amatricciana are the two dishes you need to have before you die. Likely from happiness. Enjoy. I go every time I am in Rome, often 3-4 times in a weekly visit. read more

Came here twice in our four day trip to Rome it was that good. If you like truffles this is for you. We didn't do the outrageous truffle tasting menu but the truffle eggs and the pasta with blue cheese and truffles were winners as was the suckling pig read more

Best of the best!! So glad we were able to experience Taverna Trilussa while in Rome. Must order pasta, served in pan that they prepare in!!

Amazing. Arrive, soak in some real Italian time. Impeccable service, great vibe, scrumptious food. What a way to end a day!

I came here with my boyfriend after my cousin recommended this spot to us after we told him we were going to vacation in Rome. I am glad we took his suggestion to come here because it was honestly the best meal I've had in Rome so far, we ordered two fried rice balls and a side salad to start off with. Then we ordered the bucatini pasta with tomato sauce and guanciale, honestly I'd go as far to say one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had. It was so flavorful and rich, but not heavy. Then we finished off with tea and coffee with the tiramisu, again delicious and would definitely recommend. Aside from the great food, the staff were very kind and efficient. read more

Delicious. Authentic. Great service. The staff was great and our food was outstanding

This restaurant is absolutely wonderful! Best pasta of our trip. Ate dinner here on a Monday night at 8:30. Restaurant was full, so I was glad we made a reservation. The ambiance is on the nicer side and the prices are a bit more expensive than most other restaurants in the area. The wine list is quite expansive with bottles ranging from ~26 euro all the way up to a couple thousand. We ended up ordering a half liter of the house wine as we were leaving the next morning and wouldn't have been able to finish a full bottle. The house wine was the best we had in Italy, it had significant depth and was slightly dry. For dinner we ordered the ravioli and the bucatini all' amatriciana. Both were fantastic, but the raviolis were the very best I have ever had. That dish alone makes this restaurant worth the visit. Definitely get a reservation here and the try the ravioli! read more

Taverna Trilussa - Ravioli, simply the best! - Roman Near Me - Rome, RM

Food was excellent, service was excellent and the staff was knowledgeable in offering recommendations. The ambiance was soft, warm, and pleasant. My suggestion is to make dinner reservations far in advance, since this restaurant is very popular, and with the busy season fast approaching you may not be able to get one if you don't plan ahead. read more

The food was "OK" but severely overpriced. In Rome, we had much better for far less. A generous 3 stars...

Possibly my favorite restaurant in Rome, out of many, many incredible options. The pastas are just about perfect, especially the ultimate Roman classics, the amatriciana and cacio e pepe. Serving them in the frying pan is a nice style touch, but it's almost besides the point -- these dishes would be amazing regardless of what they're served in. Some of our other favorites include the suppli and the bruschetta (maybe the best I've had in my entire life). I'm usually not a ravioli person, but that was pretty great too. There are a lot of great restaurants in Rome, and most have some variation of all of those dishes I mentioned (except the ravioli). The fact that Trilussa stood out to us as much as it did (on multiple trips to Rome, no less) is simply a statement about the quality of their food. Can't recommend it enough. read more

While visiting family that lives in Testaccio, my fiancé and I came to dinner here. From start to finish, it was amazing. I had the mimosa ravioli & my fiancé had the cacio e pepe. They're served in metal pans & everything was perfect. We also shared the milk braised lamb which was so fantastic. The other patrons were kind, the staff is kind and patient with our inability to speak Italian. We had a great time. Will definitely be back when we visit family again. read more

Amazing food. Great service. Historic location. Yummy. Wonderful wine selection. Our first meal EVER in Italy. It was a winner!

Truffle pasta is AMAZING, but I think the rest of the meal was a little lackluster. I think if you stick to their pastas only you'll have a good meal, but their price point is also pretty high to take advantage of the more touristy clientele. You can tell the pasta is fresh and it has a delightful chewy texture, and they definitely do not skimp on the truffle. The other two dishes we ordered (some kind of potato side dish and then beef with balsamic sauce) were pretty meh. We managed to get in without a reservation b/c we went right when it opened, but it definitely did start to fill in as the night went on. Overall, probably would not come back: almost 30 euro for the pasta (even if it did have truffle), as well as around 25 euro for the beef and potatoes is just too much for what we got. read more

Taverna Trilussa - truffle pasta: definitely recommend! it's pricey though - Roman Near Me - Rome, RM

Not sure why this place is always so busy. It is absolutely not worth it. You cannot get there without reservations. We tried three times, then we finally were able to get in after making reservation. I think it is more touristy than local. Waiters speak very decent English. Menus available in English. You can hear mix of English and Italian. Setting in restaurant is tennis oriented. Large rooms inside. On positive side: It does have nice outside area. Huge wine selection. (Although very expensive.). Our waiter was very friendly and helpful. They seem to have large selection of salami meats and cheeses. On negative side: very very expensive and food just not worth it. Roasted lamb was not good at all. Pasta was just ok. Twice as expensive as in other nearby places (like Tonarello), but not coming even close in taste. We left mid way and went to another place to finish dinner. read more

I started this review some time ago and I must say that I still think of this restaurant often. Fresh ingredients. Great pasta served in the pan in which it was prepared. The food was so good many folks were taking photos. One person was so enthusiastic about the food that he filmed it like he was shooting a NatGeo documentary. read more

A great restaurant near the Tiber river in Rome. It has a legendary reputation, which is well warranted. The atmosphere, service and food are all great. The staff are extremely polite and funny. When I was reading other reviews, they all mentioned the staff being mediocre. However, I think that this place has really stepped it up in the service department. The atmosphere is great, with signatures from numerous famous people, such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Roger Federer, Djokovic, and Shakira. The food is great, and not too expensive compared to the many. Tourist traps in Italy. I would definitely recommend this a place to anyone wanting to try some good, authentic Italian food. read more

On the strong recommendation of a friend who's dined here many times, I came for dinner on a Monday evening while on a trip to Rome. If looks were foreshadowing of the meal to come, it was a good start. The restaurant is nestled through a walkway lined by manicured trees and overhead lights. What lies behind is a patio with a few dozen tables and a bustling scene full of local diners. I started with a bottle of wine, which like just about all wine I had in Italy, was amazing. It served as the perfect pairing to what was a very good meal. We started with an app consisting of prosciutto and mozzarella. The cheese was warm and clearly freshly made just then. It was outstanding! We then had the Caccio y Pepe and mimosa ravioli. The caccio y Pepe was very good and has the perfect amount of cheese. The mimosa ravioli was very good as well, but it was spoiled due to previous dining experience the night before in which I had the best ravioli of my life. So the bar was set abnormally high. All in all though, the meal was very good. An overall great experience here with good/authentic food and excellent service. read more

We made a reservation here for our last night in Rome and I was sort of worried it would feel incredibly touristy. Maybe it was, but I didn't notice, because I was too busy eating every last bite of my literal skillet of cacio e peppe! They sat us out on the patio and it was a lovely atmosphere. We heard them telling someone at the host stand that they were booked for the night, so I recommend making a reservation even just the day before (which is what we did). I think they use fresh pasta, which was sort of refreshing! My husband had the truffle pasta and it was damn good too! I definitely recommend this place, it was so so good! read more

This place was highly recommended to us, even our cab driver knew about how delicious this place is ! From the beginning of walking in the host greeted us warmly and gave us a few options where to sit . There weren't many tables available since there was reservations already booked but they still managed to get us in no problem ! Our waiter was exceptional and warming . The food and wine was amazing ! This is a must when in Rome ! The area is more laid back and the atmosphere is on point ! Perfect place for an authentic delicious Italian dinner ! I would totally come back here when I'm back in Rome read more

If you're in Rome and you don't come here, you've made a mistake. My friend recommended this restaurant to me and I'm so happy we decided to listen. The food is wonderful and the service is just as great. If i ever return, I will be back twice. They serve the pasta fresh, in the pan it was cooked in! Thanks for such a wonderful experience! read more

A cab driver in Rome told us to go here and it was a great spot for our last night. Everything was so yummy! We had the house Chianti, grilled artichokes (amazing), bombollotti alla norcina and the roasted lamb. Every bite was so good! We finished up with the best tiramisu we've ever had! read more

Excellent service, great pasta, extensive wine list and a very happening location in Trastevere.

Trastevere is known for traditional Roman cuisine and you will find a plethora of excellent trattorie and ristorante here. Taverna Trilussa came highly recommended by our dear Italian friends who secured us a dinner reservation on a summer weekend. Since it was a warm beautiful night in June, we decided to dine outside. The restaurant is famous for serving pasta in steel pans. We ordered the Fritto Misto di Verudine Tipiche (mixed fried veggies), Fiori di Zucca (fried zucchini) and Suppli (fried rice dumpling with tomato sauce and cheese) to start. The Suppli and Fiori di Zucca were delicious. For the main entrees, stick to the classics like Bucatini all' Amatriciana and Cacio e Pepe. The beef filet soaked in Barolo wine was good but we preferred the pasta. read more

After receiving more than one recommendation to eat here on my honeymoon, I was so excited to try Taverna Trilussa! I was told it was hard to get into but we managed to get a late reservation. The service was awful - after being seated, our server took our water order and we didn't see him again for over 30 mins. After over half an hour of no one coming to our table, I finally got up and asked the staff if they could send someone to bring water and take our drink/food order. After this, service improved a bit but still pretty slow. The food was good but I expected more based on the buzz. read more

This place is f*****g awesome! I've had the best fettuccine I've ever had in my life. I got the "fettuccine butter and parmigiano reggiano 48 months." The pasta was a bit more firm than I'm used to but nothing a tasty fettuccine butter can't fix. It was creamy, super rich in flavour and cheese, and I have nothing negative to say about it. My niece got the "bucatini all' amatriciana" which she said was the best sauce she's tasted in Italy thus far. We both really enjoyed our meals and were stuffed upon finishing them. Not quite sure how people have room for a second course lol. I also really enjoyed how the meals were served in a pan that's shaped like a wok (not sure what it's called)--was something new and gave you the feeling that it came straight from the stove, fresh and hot! The service was also really good! The fastest we've had yet as well as attentive and friendly. As for the ambiance, it's very traditional Italian looking--lots of paintings on the white walls, a huge mural, wines displayed everywhere, plain white table clothes, lots of simple lighting fixtures, tons of books lined up against the wall, and sparkling cutlery and wine glasses. Word to the wise, this place is pretty pricey and more expensive than the rest of restaurants you'd find in Trastevere. I've included pictures of the menu as it's not listed online to my knowledge. Their wine selection is also larger than their food selection, so if you're a wine lover than this is the place for you! There are also a lot of vegetarian options which is good for me since I don't eat meat. I'd definitely come here again because the food was that good! read more

Absolutely amazing food and service. Traveling from the US you get some of the best food of Italy. Try the ravioli, I also had the bucatini dish which was second to none! read more

Great dinner on our first trip to Rome! Went here on a friend's recommendation and loved it! Highly recommend!

My husband and I loved this place. It was a recommendation from the concierge at our hotel and we will pass the recommendation on. We did not have a reservation but were able to be seated straight away outside. It is November so there are not a ton of people here but it is cool outside. They offer heaters for the outside dining area which makes it very comfortable. The food, service, and atmosphere were so great. We had the ravioli Imosa and sliced tenderloin with balsamic vinegar drizzle, spinach, and grilled artichokes. Everything was excellent, but the grilled artichokes were out of this world. Very highly recommend. read more

Do you get get giddy when your dinner is served in the pan it was cooked in? Because I do. I don't need any plates, man. Just give me that steaming hot pan of magic pasta water tossed with cheese and freshly ground black pepper! Taverna Trilussa is a bustling bistro in hip Trastevere. Reservations are a must. They have a romantic outdoor area, but we sat inside, past the ham stumps. It seems like every other restaurant in Roma is known for their charcuterie. We ordered the prosciutto with creamy, dreamy mozzarella di bufala and the sampler. And if you're the kind of person who likes to put an egg on it, get the #yolkporn, also known as bombolotti (mezze maniche) alla carbonara. It has glistening ridges and a happy pool of yolk at the bottom of the bowl. Yum-o. read more

Taverna Trilussa in the fantastic Trastevere neighborhood of Rome is by far a favorite of our whole family! The atmosphere is exciting and lively, the service is spot on, and the food is by far the best you will eat, whether it is the incredible pasta dishes (Carbonara best in all of Italy) to the veal cheek, to the artichoke and even the desserts, BEST Mille Foglie ever (they are not all created equal unfortunately, but Taverna Trilussa knows how to do it right.) Unbelievable! We actually cut our trip to other parts of Europe short so that we could finish in Rome to have dinner at Taverna Trilussa. THE BEST!!!! read more

Taverna Trilussa was wonderful. We had a selection of prosciutto and each had separate pasta dishes for entrees and they were all excellently prepared. Service was timely and attentive. I also really appreciated their wine list with just the things I wanted for a special night out. I would recommend this place to others in this area of Rome. read more

A year ago a local taxi driver told us this was some of the best local authentic Roman food. So we tried it and it was better than we could have ever imagined. Recently my wife and I took my 72 year old Mom to Rome for the very first time. Out of all the restaurants she made it very clear this was her favorite. You must order the baked mozzarella with prosciutto. It's crazy delicious with the bread. We had a bottle of Barolo Albe 2012 (wife's favorite) and Babera d'Alba 2013 (little sweeter red). Then we ordered the classic red spaghetti and the white fettuccini both have a flavor you will never forget. Love how they bring it out in the pan it was cooked in. You can eat right out of the pan. To finish the meal we all had the 250g filet mignon soaked in Barolo sauce. Freaking crazy good!!!! read more

I loved the pasta here and had the spaghetti with meat balls. The bread, wine and pasta was great. But honestly, I think I loved every meal while I was in Rome. I'm not sure anyone could have disappointed me that week. I can still smell the bread as I walk the streets. read more

A bit pricy, but an excellent choice for a nice dinner out in the most charming neighborhood in Rome. Pasta is the specialty at this lovely spot. On a nice evening, the covered patio is the best place to be, so if you don't mind a bit of a wait, go for that. (There is a bar across the street where you can have a glass of wine while you wait). Otherwise the interior is lovely, though it can get quite loud and boisterous with groups of Italians enjoying their meals. The front entrance to the interior of the restaurant is beautifully decorated with the fresh seasonal produce you will find on the menu, such as large portobello mushrooms, Roman artichokes, and pumpkin flowers. Pasta dishes are uniquely served in the pan itself, an indication of the individualized way in which they prepare their dishes. I highly recommend the Amatriciana pasta or the house ravioli. I still dream of both. If you stick to the pastas you can get away with a meal for two with wine for about 40-50 euro. Ask any Roman and they will recommend this place, as it is a Roman institution. Bon appetito! read more

We have been to this restaurant twice before, but this third time I realized we will not be returning. There are better places all throughout Rome that offer better food and friendly service. Hotel concierges need to stop sending visitors/tourist here. The waiters are disturbingly rude and dismissive. I don't mind paying for a nice meal , but the food here does not make up for the lack of ambiance and terrible service. Save your money and enjoy a nice meal at a local welcoming restaurant that doesn't make you feel bad about picking their restaurant! It's places like this that give Rome a bad reputation! read more

Walk from Rome's city center to Trastevere and you'll be rewarded with a beautiful meal. The was plenty of outdoor and indoor dining spaces. The wait staff was patient and accommodating. We enjoyed our appetizer of prosciutto and mozzarella. When our secundi, included pasta that the wait staff split for us so we could enjoy each other's orders. Simply delicious and satisfying.
