We asked the front desk at the hotel for a recommendation and ended up going there three nights in a row... First night, treated like family... second night we went back after a "fancy" restaurant that had also been recommended was a fail and the last night we went for one more pizza and visit with our favorite waiter after an afternoon pasta making class! Pizza, pasta, steak... all amazing but the hospitality of the staff was the best in Rome! read more

This was an amazing experience. I had a sausage pizza and it was incredible, well cooked, and great quality. Our server, Andrea, was super funny and great and really hightened the experience. The environment was really well decorated and it felt really cozy. Also, almost all the menu was in English, Italian, German, Spanish, and what seemed to be French! read more

Amazing food in Monti! We tried the fiori di zucca, pizze Ortolana, rigatoni Amatriciana, and tiramisù all for under €40. I cannot recommend any and all of these dishes enough!!! A must for anyone visiting the area! The staff are incredibly friendly. The interior of the restaurant is so cozy and vibrant with conversation. read more

Definitely a tourist friendly place. Loved their service and atmosphere. They were able to accommodate us ( we were party of 12).

Great service, friendly and fun waiters. Food was delicious and came out fast even for a big party. Place looks really nice too read more

Every dish was full of rich flavor and perfectly prepared. The service was outstanding--warm, attentive, and made the meal even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this restaurant to my family and friends. It's the kind of place you'll want to come back to again and again! We have eaten here 3 nights in a row!!!! read more

After an extensive travel day leaving Cisternino and returning our rental car in Bari and taking the metro to the main train station, we took the train from Bari to Rome. Unbeknownst to us, there was a 1 1/2 hour bus situation involved in the trek that our ticket did not explain. Needless to say we arrived in Rome tired and hungry, and then got lost while trying to find our flat a couple of times (thanks google maps) and finally took a taxi. After finding a grocery nearby, we got some wine and a bit of vodka and drowned our sadness. The rest of the evening was a bit of a blur, but what stood out was the great food, excellent service, and friendliness of the staff. It was so good. We'll be going back tonight to verify that our experience was not clouded by the copious alcohol indulgence. Visit number 2, even better than number 1. Our server recognized us right away as we walked in which is both good and bad lol. The place is nicely appointed, the staff is attentive and friendly, and the food is top shelf! We will for sure tell all of our fellow travellers to have dinner here if they are in the neighbourhood. Guaranteed great experience! read more

Obviously going into it you know that this is going to be a somewhat of a tourist trap, given that it's so close to the coliseum. When we first got there, they seated us fairly quickly. However, it took a while for us to get the menus. Then waited quite a while for us to get service. We had to weigh them down to get service and even then definitely met with big attitude. I obviously get that you think we won't be returned customers as tourists, but that doesn't mean we won't be back and it also means we won't be telling all of our friends who that we don't recommend here. I know I'm spoiled because I was raised in Japanese culture and the hospitality of Japan, but always a stark reminder as I travel throughout the world many places do not even come close. I can't even speak to the food because I was so disappointed by my first impression of being here. read more

Neighborhood place that always looked busy so decided to try it. The waiters were excellent (mostly Asian) who were hardworking and hustling to help a restaurant full of customers. The atmosphere was nice too. The bad....food is BELOW AVERAGE even by my unrefined palate. We got a pasta amatricana...waaaay too salty where we almost wanted to send it back. We also got three pizzas including margherita, diavola...the pizzas were paper thin....literally like flatbread in the US. Impossible to even pick up properly. The sauce and toppings were very average and looked store bought versus home made. The worst....Copretto or service tax is illegal in Rome but not in this restaurant apparently! 2 euros per person. Also the menu mentions it'll be waived if your bill exceeds 20 euros. When we noticed it on our bill, asked the manager and he tried to quickly make up a story that it's 20 euros per person not the table. That's not what the menu says. Crooked and unethical! Throughout our trip in Italy, we always met kind, charming and helpful people except this restaurant manager, who's probably the worst person we met in 2 weeks! Stay away from this place - both for terrible food and deceptive behavior of management. read more

As a recommendation from our hotel, we took a chance and it did not disappoint! The service was 10-star worthy for a fun and eventful experience together with our meal, its worthy culinary Italian journey. read more

Seems to be a long-standing popular restaurant with locals and out of towners. They have very nice roman-style pizza (flat with a crispy crust). Quick and courteous service. No A/C. read more

We went to this restaurant on a recommendation as well as other reviews. In arrival, it looked promising because there was a line forming out the door. The host was very friendly and helpful and sat us at a table quickly. Our server was very attentive and made some recommendations as to what to try. He was talking about the fresh salmon that they just got from the fish market which sounded like a good choice, even though I was skeptical because salmon is an easy fish to ruin. Anyway, I ordered the salmon, my daughter ordered spaghetti cabonara, my son ordered fettuccine bolognese and my husband ordered a filet. Lia, who eats the spaghetti cabonara quite often from other restaurants in Rome, said her dish was very good and flavorful and the pasta was perfectly cooked. The fettuccini bolognese I was told was also tasty with perfectly cooked noodles. The filet I was told was a really good price for the size and the cut and it was surprisingly good. My salmon, on the other hand, was not as good as everyone else's dish. Like I said, salmon is kind of an easy fish to ruin and while it wasn't totally inedible, I have definitely had better cooked pieces of salmon. I was disappointed because I really wanted to experience the flavor of the freshly caught fish but because it was overcooked, I did not get to experience that. In all, 3 out of 4 dishes were amazing and the staff was amazing so if I come back, I'll just order something else instead! read more

Amazing dinner experience. We were walking by and my husband pointed this place out, funny enough I had it saved as potential places on Yelp. The moment we walked in, Manuel greeted and sat us. You felt like family from the get go. He told us his favorites and we ordered them. The amatriciana, the steak with Gorgonzola (omg this was amazing), and we added a caprese. I will dream about the steak and Gorgonzola for years to come. The Amatriciana was great, a nice light acid to cut through the cheese from the steak. We ended with a strawberry tarte as he suggested. This meal was amazing, and if you're lucky you'll get Manuel for some great service and laughs. Would 100% come back. read more

Very good eatery, right near our hotel. The atmosphere is comfortable, and the service is good. The food is good, but in a city with such amazing food options it feels like a place to come if you're close - not to make a trip across the city for. They have many seating options and a fun, lively interior. Give it a shot! read more

My 14-year old son and I walked into this restaurant by chance. We stood in line for about 20 minutes until it was our turn. I mention this because a few 2-person parties ran out of patience and left, but to me it is the same as putting your name on a wait list and waiting your turn. Mie was our waitress. She smiled the entire time, and was very friendly and engaging, which I appreciated tremendously. She made food recommendations and even walked my son to the dessert pantry and told him which desserts are the best. As for the food, my son had the classic lasagna and he said it was the best he had during our stay in Rome. I had the fettuccini with bolognese and together we split the scallopini with lemon. It was all very tasty and we left extremely satisfied. I recommend having a meal here - ask for Mie! read more

Ottimo cibo e buon servizio. Consigliato da un'amica Romana che ringrazio. Consiglio prenotazione per evitare attesa. Abbiamo ordinato carbonara, amatriciana, spaghetti alle vongole e pizza. Tutto ottimo e reasonably priced. read more

We had the pleasure of dining here twice during our stay in Rome as it was on the same street as our Airbnb. Both times it was quite busy but the wait time was manageable....about 10-15 minutes for the weekend give or take. Ambiance was a rustic, cozy Italian which evidently was perfect as it matched the cuisine. Highlights here include their pizzas - both the Margarita and the Mushroom we tried were 5-star picks. We loved the super thin crust and ultra-fresh ingredients! We actually ordered this as an appetizer since we all couldn't decide between pizza or pasta both times. Why decide when you can have both? Their seafood salad was decent too; Nice helping of seafood trumped only by one other local restaurant we visited. For entrees, I've had the pleasure of digging into their Frutti de Mare spaghetti as well as Lobster pasta. Both were very flavorful dishes. I'm not quite sure what type of pasta was served with the lobster entree but it was a thinner version of spaghetti but not as thin as angel hair. I should also mention that if you're used to a U.S. sized lobster (1+ lbs), you may be a bit disappointed because they do come considerably smaller around these parts. Nonetheless, prices are affordable and it aligns with what you get. The frutti de mare came with a nice assortment of bountiful fresh seafood in a delicate aromatic sauce. One cannot complain! Overall, a definite home run and a strong 4+ stars. Highly recommended! read more

Horrible service. After waiting for nearly an hour in line and being assured that it would be "10-15" minutes we saw multiple tables seated with groups the same size as ours. Although I'd heard that Rome was not a racist city, my attitude changed dramatically after this experience. Perhaps you should do what I did and spend your hard earned Euros elsewhere. The waiter who was doing seating was arrogant, impolite and totally disrespectful. I will never return. read more

So good! The lasagna weekend special was the best lasagna I have ever had. The tomato and artichoke bruschetta were also delicious. Definitely a great spot for a hearty meal. read more

Perhaps the best dining experience of my life! Food was excellent, wait staff were beyond friendly and treated us like part of their family. The experience was like something out of a movie. Will def go back while I'm still here. The steak Gorgonzola was to die for! Carbonara was excellent as well. I don't like red wine but theirs was delicious. Love it! read more

Incredible little place - so good we visited twice on our limited stay in Rome. Our first time we had the margherita pizza and the quattro formaggio (4 cheese) pizza and the house red wine. Everything were excellent. We came back a couple of nights later and I had the spaghetti with mussels and my wife had lasagna. Both were AMAZING and the service was great. No complaints - even the wines were exceptional. 100% Recommend! read more

This place is very busy- The decor is rustic, authentic and the food is (pasta and pizza) is excellent. And if you want a GREAT pizza and pasta, it is a great choice. I tried slice of pizza and I ate the white fish for my main dish: the Pizza was a "5" and fish was fresh, tasty and definitely a 5 star also. This is as authentic as you want in Rome. It is very close to Rome's Opera house (8 minutes walk) and it was super busy with the locals in the area waiting to get table and eat there. This place has been around since 1960, so they must be serving the food that everyone (local and tourists) love. read more

The food was alright... I came thinking I'll have an authentic Italian experience, the marinara sauce used in the pizza, penne arabiata and ravioli were a little bland. Needed more salt. Service seemed a little disorganized, but over all the ambience and vibe gave me authentic family Italian run business. read more

You have to love this restaurant. Yes, you will have to wait in line to enjoy this wonderful little Italian restaurant in Rome - that's because it is such an enjoyable place to eat it has many fans who know just how good it is. The only thing better than the food is the fun service you will receive. Ask for Rocky. You will love him. You also will love Manuel and a wonderful female server from Burkina Faso (sorry, I cannot remember her name - she is so nice everyone should know her name). All three have such exceptional personalities you will want each of them serving your table. It is just a fun fun place to enjoy a very reasonably priced dining experience. Trust me on this one!!!! read more

Great food and service. Highly recommend this restaurant. They have a great menu and brings things out pretty fast. Wine was also great.

We were a group of 5 people waiting for a table. We were told by host to wait in the line. There were 2 groups of 2 people each. After the went in, we were next yet the host told us to keep waiting while he let 5 groups of 5 people go in. We kept waiting, host comes out and in a mocking way, they said they'll us in soon and he can give us pillows while we wait. These dude was just awful, he had table for us but he just chose to keep us waiting outside. I wouldn't recommend this place, specially if you're a tourist as it seems as this place is NOT tourist friendly! read more

There are so many good restaurants in Roma, and this is, undoubtedly, a good one. It splits the tables across two sides of the street, so you dine outside. It has the normal Aperol Spritz available (which is hard to muck up), and the staff are friendly and much in evidence, so it is easy to get their attention. So, the food? We started with melon and prosciutto. The melon hunks were too big, but otherwise the dish is a winner. It's hard to go wrong here. For the main course, I had a pizza diavola- a standard Margherita pizza with slices of spicy salami. This was really good. They know how to make good Roman pizza here. For dessert, I had a ricotta and chocolate cake - much softer than expected and drowned in chocolate sauce. I have enjoyed other desserts more, but this one was still good, Overall, this was a good experience! read more

Located in the Monti district of Rome, this wonderful Trattoria offers great authentic Italian cuisine. The pizza, pasta, and house red wine are wonderful. We visited the restaurant twice during our stay in the Monti district of Rome. For our appetizers, we ordered the Bruschetta singola a scelta and the Prosciutto di Parma, excellent! For our pasta dishes, we ordered the Rigatoni Amatriciana and the Cacio e Pepe. The pasta was cooked to perfection. The ambience is very lively and they were accommodating some large groups. We were lucky to only have a short wait even though we didn't have reservations. I would recommend eating an "early" dinner at 7pm if you didn't make reservations. The wait staff is very friendly and the service was excellent. read more

This was the best restaurant that we ate at in Italy. I couldn't say enough great things about this place. We had the rigatoni carbonara and the penne arrabiata sauce and both were amazing. Best red sauce I've ever had, light, spicy, and super fresh. The carbonara was also delicious, not too heavy. If you want to dine like a local and eat truly authentic food then come here. The wait staff was amazing and the food was the best! read more

We were excited to check this place out after seeing the reviews! While the wine was excellent, the food was rather disappointing. The bruschetta was soggy, and the mozzarella in our caprese did not taste fresh. I was happy with my cannelloni with spinach and ricotta, but my boyfriend's pizza left something to be desired. The crust was also soggy, and the entire thing lacked flavor aside from the prosciutto. Maybe it was an off night! read more

Came here at the recommendation of our hotel. PASTA Tagliolini all'astice (4 stars): The pasta and cherry tomatoes were amazing. Lobster was good but a the sauce was a bit fishy. Tonnarelli cacio e pepe(4 stars): Pasta is so fresh! Very cheesy pasta. DESSERT Tiramisu (5 stars): Probably the best tiramisu I've ever had! We sat outside and our server was great! I forgot his name but he was very friendly and made dinner fun. There was a line outside but we didn't have to wait too long. read more

We noticed this place close to our airbnb and because it had so many people throughout the night we decided to spot by. Service was quick and the waiter had recommendations.

I was recommended this place by my tour guide. Food was decent, but nothing to write home about. Italy is home to so many amazing restaurants so honestly I expected more. I did not feel that the food came out particularly fast like some other reviewers. I liked my food but it wasn't particularly notable. Not exactly in a central location. read more

2.5 stars App. Mixed bruschetta no good, the bread it was layed on were all old and stale. Not sure why this place was getting busy at all... Main Pizza, Arugula bruschuito pie, was on the saltier side. Lasagna was ok, the noodle itself was pretty good but there was barely any sauce and definitely needed more meat in the layers. Was pretty disappointed bc it was the first legit place we ate at in ROME after landing. Save the trouble and skip this place read more

A wonderful trattoria within 7 mins walking distance from the Colosseum. This was recommended to us by our host for being a great locals place and not a tourist trap. We came here on a Monday night with no reservations about there was a short wait. The ambiance was homey and welcoming. The servers spoke great English and there was an English menu. If you come def get their pizzas, as they are known for having lighter flavored pizzas compared to some of the heavier pizzerias. The crust was paper thin and crispy, and the size was the pizza was shareable if you wanted to get some other small dishes. When we left the line was out the door and the place was packed, so come early! read more
