While in Rome, my husband and I made a reservation for 19:30 at Dal Bolognese. Upon arrival, we…read morewere warmly greeted by the friendly staff. The restaurant was nearly empty, with only one other table occupied by a father and son. To our surprise, we were seated right next to them, despite the abundance of open tables. When we asked to be moved to a more private spot, we were informed that the restaurant was fully booked for the evening. Sure enough, within about 30 minutes, the tables were filled! The atmosphere was romantic, quaint, and quiet - perfect for a cozy dining experience. My husband ordered the sea bass filet and I ordered the bolognese tortellini, which was hands down one of my favorite meals in Rome! My husband loved the bolognese but found the sea bass too fishy and thought it didn't pair well with the vegetables on his plate. I happily disagreed and finished both his fish and the veggies. Overall, a fantastic dining experience with delicious food and a charming ambiance. Highly recommend making a reservation!

Our concierge at the St. Regis was able to secure us a last minute booking on our final night and we were definitely grateful. The interior and diners were a little more "refined" than the osterias/tavernas we visited so I felt a smidge underdressed. Definitely a place for locals, our waiter spoke english. Service was great-helpful with suggestions, light hearted jokes-it really added to the experience. Food was outstanding. Obviously, I had to get the bolognese and it didn't disappoint. Rich and flavorful, I couldn't put the fork down. Same went to perfectly cooled veal cutlet. If hungry, don't miss out on the carpaccio. Prepared with cold smoked beef, it was a great additional flavor component. Reservations can be hard to come by but highly recommended.

One of the best restaurants in Rome This restaurant was…read morerecommended to me by tour guide, a 70 year old Rome native. When we arrived they asked if we wanted to have "Michael's menu" (Michael was our tour guide). What ensued next was an avalanche of delicious appetizers, a pasta course and entrees. We had a bottle of Falanghina wine which had a wonderful bouquet. Incidentally, one of the other patrons was an American that had been there ten years before and was very happy to get back. The restaurant is pretty small, so reservations are wise.

Da Bucatino was a very cute establishment. Like most Trattorias, the place felt cozy and comfortable like you're having dinner at nonna's. Service was fine. I thought it was funny that the server was taking jabs at us, calling Coca-Cola as American Champagne, for example. We ordered the proscuitto and melon to share. I don't eat pork, but I gladly indulged on the thick cuts of ripe melon. My husband enjoyed the proscuitto and melon pairing, which reminded him of his childhood. My husband got the carbonara, and I got the mushroom fettucine. We both thought our pastas were just OK. I did find my fettucine cooked perfectly al dente, but my husband's rigatoni needed to be cooked 30 seconds longer.

We were not sure what to expect on our first visit but we surely left the place after eating all our food. The Aglio, Olio, Pepperoncino spaghetti and ox tail soups were great.

This is a real local trattoria type of place, quite cozy, certainly less touristy, a quiet and comfortable restaurant frequented by locals. If you want to experience real Italian homemade cooking, this is where you come. We were greeted and seated right away. Aglio Orio e Peperoncino not only sounds romantic, it has also very much welcoming ambience inside, with friendly and efficient service. Wall decor includes large photos of famous Italian cinema icons like Anna Magnani, Monica Vitti, Alberto Sordi, and Marcello Mastroianni. I've got a vague understanding of their menu and gathered that your dinner options here vary greatly depending on the alignment of many factors, owner's creativity included. Just like home, already! -:) If available, you have to order Ossobuco here. It's braised veal shanks mixed with veggies and sautéed in white wine (in Bianco) or with tomatoes and carrots (which turns out a completely different dish, in my humble opinion). We had white version and loved it. It's hearty and delicious! I've got no photos because of the connectivity issues and discharged phone battery, as I also use my phone for work and conference meetings, sorry - maybe next time.
