We waited 1.5 hrs thinking there must be a reason all these parties are willing to wait this long for this restaurant! We left not knowing what that reason was :/. The food was mediocre. There are far better restaurants in Rome! read more

Started with Calamari... BEST IVE EVER HAD. for one it's a big portion but great shareable. Second I got the Pasta A Amatricana. Very al dente and tasty! Yum! Good wine selection. Had a few glasses and not too expensive. Overall great authentic Italian spot. read more

The best carbonara I ve ever eaten. The cacio e pepe was equally delicious. Server was friendly and efficient.

Amazing!! The perfect Italian meal. Worth the wait in line. A great intro our first night in Rome.

Way too much hype. Waited almost an hour in line. Only item that was good was the fried calamari. Focaccia bread was cold, hard to chew. Cabonara pasta was mediocre. Pizza was the worst, the dough was way too thick. Service was slow was well. Would not come back. read more

Amazing food and the tiramisu was delicious one of the best I have tried. Everything we ate was good.

The service and atmosphere was great! I would have given 5 stars, but the food was only pretty good...not amazing. I thought everything we had could have been several notches better level. Glad we were able to try it once! read more

Excellent Cacio e Pepe. Great service and fair prices. Was our first day in Rome and in hindsight was one of our best meals overall.

This pasta is life changing. It's so fresh and delicious. My daughter had the pesto and I had bolognese and we are still dreaming about it. Highly recommend read more

Excellent service and the pasta was some of the best we had. We will definitely be back!

This restaurant was highly recommended to us by our friends who had visited Rome a year or two before us. When we mentioned it to our hotel concierge, she also said it was well worth a visit! Unfortunately they don't take reservations, so you have to stand in an actual line while you wait to be seated. We happened to go on a Saturday night around 9, so prime time. There was a specific line for parties of 2 and we waited about 45 minutes. The wait went by quickly. We didn't have anything to drink while we waited, but you were able to grab a drink to have in line if you wanted to! The staff was great, as one of the employees came by to regularly check the line and make sure there was not any confusion. Once we were seated, we had Salvo as our server and he was friendly and informative! We shared a bottle of white wine and started with the rosemary focaccia, which is making me salivate just typing the words! We may have overdone the food, as the portions were quite generous yet reasonably priced! We started with a salad, which came with tomatoes, corn, chunks of fresh Mozzerella cheese, zucchini, and olives. It was fresh, light, and the perfect follow up to the focaccia. I chose the meatballs in tomato sauce for my meal. Wow, were they great! The meat was so tender, the meatballs easily fell apart in the best way possible! It was served with roasted potatoes and sautéed chicory, also both delicious. My husband got a pizza that came with zucchini and I believe eggplant, among some other vegetables. He loved it and ate the entire thing! I was literally too full to take one more bite of food or we would have ordered dessert as well. Overall, it was totally worth the wait. One of our favorite meals on our Italian honeymoon! read more

Timing is everything when visiting this well-known and well-rated restaurant. To that end, lunch visitors have the best chance of walking to a table promptly at noon. In the evening, if you wait for the more traditional dining hour of 8:00 you can find yourself in a line lasting an hour. Again...earlier the better. The meal and setting is worth it! Perhaps the best carbonara experience in this quarter of the City. Lovely balance of flavors and richness. Service is good and efficient...leaning toward the brusque. Price points are very good. Eat first...then wander the Trastevere and Tibre River. read more

Amazing Rome neighborhood dining experience. Homemade fresh pasta is incredible and be sure to order the bruschetta appetizer. Incredible experience all around in Trastevere. read more

This was one of our favorite places to eat in Rome! It's a bit of a walk from the tourist landmarks, but visiting Trastevere, the neighborhood, is a dream. A quieter neighborhood, away from all the buzz, and absolutely picturesque. The food was lovely. The pastas are amazing, I wouldnt recommend the pizza- it isnt authentic and it came out cold. When in Rome, you must have carciofo at least once! We also ordered the tiramisu which was amazing. Beautiful dining area and overall experience. read more

I ate both here and an Nannarella, their sister restaurant. I had the carbonara here, and amatriciana at Nannarella, and while both were very good, both times I felt nauseous later that night. I thought maybe it was a fluke the first time, but there's apparently something that isn't right here (perhaps the guanciale), but obviously a lot of people don't have this issue given the ratings. I still give it 4 stars, as it was very good, but unfortunately if I'm ever back in Rome, I'll have to skip both places to save myself from feeling sick later. read more

The line moves a lot faster than it looks. I definitely had better carbonara elsewhere on our trip but it was certainly quite good, and the atmosphere's a lot of fun. A great lunch spot. read more

Blah food. Definitely not worth waiting 20-30 minutes for a table. I'd skip it. Wish we had.

We loved eating here. It's a little off the beaten path but worth the walk. Our server Alvin was great. He suggested a local wine that we really liked. The pasta was made in house. We had the bruschetta three ways, which was scrumptious, the lasagna which was the best lasagna I've ever had, and the turkey, which was good but nothing too special. The dessert was not as good as the first two dishes. I would go somewhere else for dessert, but here for dinner. Prices were very reasonable. read more

Went here with a group of friends. It's a bit touristy and perhaps a bit pricey for what you are getting. The pastas were good but nothing to write home about. The carbonara here was good but a bit salty for my liking. read more

This is my favorite go-to spot as a study abroad student in Rome. I went twice in a row just last week. You'll almost always find a crowd outside but you'll be treated to a cup of prosecco while you wait. The restaurant is a good size with an upstairs so your wait shouldn't be too long even if you come with a group. Once seated, I always have the friendliest waiters who appreciate our attempts at speaking Italian before we default to English. The menu can be intimidating but there is no wrong choice here. My friends and I like to split the tagliere charcuterie board to start and we usually each order a pasta -- the all'amatriciana and the pesto being my favorite. Undoubtedly, the highlight for me is always the cacio e pepe meatballs. Doused in creamy, cheesy goodness with a sprinkle of pepper, these meatballs are stuffed with cheese and served with roasted potatoes and chicory to sop up every drop of the sauce. I've had a lot of good food in Italy over the past few months but these are by far the best thing I've tasted. It doesn't stop there. Dessert is equally delicious with the tiramisu and hot apple cake with vanilla ice cream being the perfect end to a perfect meal. If you're in Rome you have to come here. read more

The pinsa was decent and hot. The pasta dish (rigatoni with pesto) was cold and nothing special. The salad trastevere had mozzarella on it that was not fresh. The service was quick and very nice. Overall, price was decent. Apparently, this place and it's sister restaurant (nannarella) have great social media campaigns and people are waiting a long time. We only ate here because we were hungry for a meal when most places were closed so we sat down right away. I would not wait more than 10 minutes to eat here. There are so many good options in the area. read more

This place is amazing! It was recommended by friends who had been to Rome recently and it exceeded my expectations. We got here at 1ish and there was a line but not too long. The host took our name and told us to wait in a separate area for groups. We were a group of 3 and there were a few larger groups ahead of us. We got so LUCKY because 2 min after we got told to wait we were seated!! The food was surprisingly reasonably priced and you get a lot of food. I like how the pasta comes in a cute little pan although it was very rich it was very delicious. Must get the Prosecco! The salad was very fresh and the pizza was simply amazing. We were hesitant to get dessert because we were so full but we couldn't not try it. The cheesecake and tiramisu were both very light and tasty. If you use the bathroom and find yourself wondering how to get the water running on the sink press the pedal underneath it. Best meal we had in Italy!! read more

Omg: tree lettres to describe our meal tonight!!! The tonnarello polpette was a dream, as was the tiramisu. Be patient: you'll have to wait 45 min to one hour, well worth it!! read more

Although not a traditional Italian meal would strongly recommend the meatballs with the Tonnarello noodle. Wife and I ate here 3 times in Rome... Best food and we saw and ate our way through the entirety of Italy. read more

Don't believe the hype. We came here on a recommendation of our BnB hostess. We should've known something was wrong when our taxi driver tried to convince us to go somewhere else in the neighborhood. My pasta dish had no flavor. Stouffer's lasagna in the Frozen food aisle has flavor comparatively. I didn't finish the meal.The pizza was bad to the point the toppings were scraped off to eat without the crust. Of the five tables around me including ours, no one finished their meals NOR ordered dessert. No one took leftovers home either. read more

Ate here last night, the food is great and affordable. Loved the Carbonara and Focaccia! The atmosphere is very pleasant, and the staff is friendly. Shoutout to Jasper, he's very charming and took good care of us! read more

The food was served very fast and looked like it was warmed up - do not recommend The servers were rushing - generally overrated read more

Do not waste your time waiting in line!!!! The food was terrible, the wine warm/sour tasting and the fruit flies swarming around our table made for a quick exit. The water (one still, one gas) that they charged us for was definitely poor tasting tap, one of which was perhaps run through a soda stream machine that had a low CO2 cartridge. Our waiter did not seem to understand "bruschetta" or "barolo". He suggested we get 2 orders of focaccia, which turned out to be rectangles of baked pizza crust. The artichoke appetizer was a charred blob reminiscent of a bad blooming onion. The prosciutto crudo e melon was awful-the ham was old and the fruit was so hard you could not separate it from the rind. The trio of bruschetta was like supermarket Italian bread with salsa on it. The pasta dishes (cacao e peppe, Nona Nadia and pesto) were overcooked and flavorless. The meatballs in oxtail sauce had some flavor, but the rest of the food was so bad that we decided not to eat much, as we were afraid we might get sick. After ordering a carafe of the house montepulciano wine that was warm and sweet, we ordered a bottle of Barolo. The waiter did not know how to use the cork screw. He snapped the cork in half. The wine looked off color and was warm. At this point we asked for the check and got the heck out of there. There was still a huge line outside and the streets were packed with American tourists. It was a weird scene. Definitely not the Rome restaurant experience I've had in previous visits. If I could give it zero stars, I would! read more

One of the best Italian meals I have eaten, with friendly and quick service. This place was recommended at our hotel. We waited a bit, but not for long, and the servers have been very accommodating and outgoing. Great addition to a Roman vacation! read more

We stumbled upon Tonnarello while exploring Trastavere. It was our last night in Rome and we wanted pizza. There were definitely other options to dine at, but the menu looked great and the price was right. We were seated outside under an umbrella (which helped as it started to rain on us). We decided on a glass of house red, a Peroni and split the cacio e pepe pizza. Service was a bit slow, but I expect that of Italy for some reason. We were in a rush so our eyes were on the clock. We thought about that artichoke appetizer but decided to go straight for the pizza. There were a ton of options to try but this one looked tasty. Pizza was warm and enough for the both of us. It was a little spicy due to the pepper (I thought there were actual bell peppers on it, not just pepper the spice). We were a little miffed when we asked for the check and he wouldn't give it to us until we finished our meal. So we downed our food fast. I wish we had more time to enjoy and try other dishes. read more

Excellent food. Good service. We had to wait for 25 minutes in line to get in. Very popular and justified.

My wife and I could t have been happier to land in this place. We were just wandering through Trastevere and picked Tonnarello because it looked welcoming. Well, it proved to be as our waiters Lorenzino and Felipe made sure of it. They were great spirits, attentive and never made us feel rushed even as the tourists were lining up. The pasta, Tonnarello only, was excellent - chewy, eggy, held the sauce well. In our case, we went with a couple red sauces, Polpette (meatball) Amatriciana (bacon). It could have come out of Momma's kitchen. read more

A great take in Trastevere. There was a small wait but it is so worth it - the line goes quickly and allows you just to take in the people and the place you are so lucky to have come to! We waited for about 15 min for a patio table - there were warmers outside so it was not too cold on the late March evening. We chose the Fried Artichoke for an appetizer and were thrilled with it - so tasty and seasoned to perfection. We then both went with the Spaghetti and Meatballs, simple and done so so so well. The meatballs were so tender and just enough food for us. The portions were perfect, not too huge but filled us up! Our server Pierpaulo (I think that was his name) was delightful and kept us laughing and happy all evening. read more

I must say, this was great! The place was very large in size, but even so the service was fast. I got a dish with beef, potatoes, and greens. All of it was good, the only thing I could say is that the greens were very bitter. I am not a huge fan of this but if you are it is fine. Overall it was great. Would recommend. read more

Very touristy place BUT the food is amazing and the staff is very very nice considering they have to deal with tourists all day long...so overall come for lunch around 5ish and then walk for the next 5 hours to work it off!!! read more

Love the food here! So far the best restaurant we've tried in Rome. The first time we came here, the waitress is extremely helpful. She can speak perfect English so there is no any issue of communication. The second time we stopped by, the waitress looks new to his job. Everything is slow and if we didn't ask, he didn't bring olive oil pepper salt for our salad at all. read more
