Light dinner on a Thursday evening in April. Walked in with no reservation. Diners included couples and even families with young children. Expansive menu and wine options, although we only ate a light meal (need to save room for my gelato!). Pasta was fresh and sauce was flavorful. Bread served at table. Crunchy crust and moist inside. Atmosphere is relaxing with beatify woodwork at brick detailing. Our server, Maurizio, was a delight with a warm smile and great sense of humor. I would return just for his service! Delightful surprise when an additional server who returned my credit card asked if she could keep it. The hospitality and ability to read the personality of each guest is a gift. Thank you! read more

We were in recently in Rome and went to Velavevodetto because it was recommended on a website about the city. It's a nice restaurant in a lovely area of Rome, called Prati. Great service and very good traditional Roman food. read more

This was by far our favorite meal in Rome. Highly recommend stopping here after a visit to the Vatican. I can't imagine a better respite from the touristy crowds just nearby! The restaurant is tucked inside Piazza Quiriti, in the gorgeous neighborhood of Prati. We made a reservation for lunch on a Friday, but it wasn't too crowded. The restaurant was filled with locals presumably on business lunches. We ordered an appetizer of zucchini with mint and basil to start, and shared a rigatoni carbonara and ravioli. The zucchini was a refreshing change of pace from the grilled vegetables we had ordered at other restaurants. The ravioli were expertly made. The carbonara was absolutely delicious!!! Perfect texture, crispy bacon, and delicious rigatoni. We paired our food with a half bottle of their house wine, and it was the perfect lunch. Service was attentive and very welcoming to us travelers! All in all, an amazing spot for delicious food. Highly recommend! read more

Velavevodetto ai Quiriti - The carbonara - delicious!! - Roman Near Me - Rome, RM

The food here is really good - especially the carbonara pasta which is probably the best I've had. The prices are also very reasonable. However the service is extremely bad. We were asked for our order within a few minutes of being seated - so much for the restaurant's moto that they do not hurry their patrons. The waiter was genuinely not interested in us - handed us silverware backwards instead of putting it on the table, opened the wine with little care about what it was like, etc. It was the kind of service you'd expect in a cheap or average American restaurant. Bottom line: food is good, service is bad, prices are reasonable. read more

I went here with my parents after researching highly rated places to eat in Rome. I called to book ahead for a table right when they opened. We arrived early and waited outside until they let us in. The restaurant looked interesting but the ambience was a little dry and quiet. We ordered the fried meatballs (dry and not so tasty), cacio e pepe pasta (really tasty and good portion), rigatoni with matriciana sauce (not bad), rolls with sauce ( big portion so gave a big appetite), and sides of mixed salad and scarola with raisins, pine nuts and olives (really tasty). If you have sensitive teeth, don't order the pasta (al dente). My dad had a hard time enjoying his food because this. The portions are big so be careful to not over order! The waiters are kind and attentive enough. I didn't give this place five stars because in my opinion, everything came out average and just ok. Good meal but I wouldn't go back. Would give it a 3.5 if I could. read more

So we went here for dinner at the recommendation of our travel agent. We had a reservation for right when they opened after a day of touring the Vatican and having a late lunch. Our first mistake was probably eating so soon after lunch as when we arrived we were not that hungry. I generally don't like posting bad reviews, but I felt the need to post this because my whole family agreed that this was the worst meal we have had in Rome. We've been here for 3 days now and up to this point, every meal has been fantastic, except this one. For a restaurant that has 4.5 stars on Yelp, I would expect everything we order to be good to great and would also expect good service. I'll start with the service because from the moment we walked in, you could tell that our waiter was unhappy that we were tourists. I explained to him that we couldn't read the menu (it was all in Italian) and his response to me was 'ok'. He offered up a couple of items on the menu, but didn't bother to explain what they were. So the meal didn't start off on a great note, being that I was ordering blind while trying to google the menu items, and our waiter didn't seem interested in making suggestions for us. One more knock I'll make on the service is I ordered meatballs and oxtail and was thinking of one last dish, so the waiter suggested a trio. He explained it was one of each of three meats and thinking nothing of it, I said ok. It turns out I already ordered the meatballs and oxtail which were two of the items on this dish. Why would it then be a good idea for me to order more of those things and only get one additional item in the beef roll (which tasted like a chewier version of the oxtail)? That made no sense, and when it arrived we just ended up with more of the same food instead of getting to try another dish that may not have been terrible. I'll take some of the fault for this, but a caring waiter wouldn't have suggested this item after paying attention to everything else we had already ordered, I honestly should knock of a star for this misstep and give this place 2 stars, but I feel that would be a bit too harsh. On to the food. Again at a 4.5 star restaurant, I would not expect there to be any 'misses' or dishes that are just bad. I'll start with the bad and work my way up to the good, because there was certainly some good. The Awful- octopus appetizer, never order this, just don't do it. It was really the worst thing I have eaten in any restaurant in a really long time. It was overly salty, the octopus tasted like rubber, and it seems like it was a day old ragu that they just reheated and served. It was flavorful, but full of bad flavors, pretty gross. We each tried a spoonful and then left the rest of it uneaten (uneaten food for an Asian family is unheard of and akin to blasphemy. For anyone who is Asian, they understand this). Think about this for a second, an Asian family not finishing a dish means it's close to inedible. The OK items - porchetta (think pork pernil, but less good), the meatballs, the rice balls, the beef roll and the carbonara. These were all just ok, not bad, not great. Meatballs and rice balls were well made, so our lackluster opinion could have been a result of us not being that hungry, but they were not standout items compared to what else we have had in Rome. We ordered the normal amount we would get for dinner, but probably only had room for half of it, so some fault lays with us. The Good to Great - the Oxtail and Risotto. The stewed oxtail fell off the bone and was delicious, could not have asked for a better meat dish, it was really good and one of the things our waiter recommended. It was spot on. The risotto was not a recommendation, but my dad likes his rice, so I got it for him. It was creamy, the right amount of al dente and not too salty. Very simple, but very good. This is what I would think of when I think local Italian fare, so we were very happy with this dish. Given our experience I actually think 3 stars is generous. I am giving them an extra star because I think at least the food part of our experience had something to do with us not being that hungry. But I've gone to great restaurants before when not hungry and still ate a lot and had a wonderful experience. That didn't happen here, and overall I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to other tourists. Could just be a singular experience and I'm willing to take that into account, but this place was just not good for us tonight. read more

This place is outright the best pasta in Rome. You cannot miss it. If you're a local, or are visiting, stop by. You won't regret it. read more

True Italian kitchen. This place is located right off a piazza in more of a neighborhood away from the typical touristy areas. We found this cozy place after visiting a nearby spa and decided to pop in for a snack and to warm up after walking in the rain. We were really glad we did. We didn't have a reservation but they graciously still sat us. Everyone there was Italian as was the menu. We got by with google translate and a kind waiter. The house red was delicious. We had the artichoke pasta which was unique and yummy that I will attempt to recreate but will surely fail. We had the meatballs that were delicious as well. read more

Best meal in Roma! Amazing authentic Italian food and people are so nice. We didn't have a reservation and they made it work! We loved it so much we came back the next day...the best tiramisu I have ever had!!! read more

Velavevodetto ai Quiriti - Roman Near Me - Rome, RM

The restaurant was recommended by our airbnb host as an expensive neighborhood restaurant serving typical Roman fare. Expensive it's not, by our NYC standards. Roman it is by the simplicity and flavors of this epicurean delight of a city (try the 'trippa romagna' tripe). What a treat! Impeccable service and special treatment we got made it truly memorable. We had walked in with no reservations and could see no empty tables outside and peeking in it looked full. The host asked if we had reservations, when we said 'no' he looked really disappointed and asked us to wait and went inside. He came out a few minutes later and asked us to follow him. He seated us on a high table for four in a packed room. We soon realized it was a private party but he had somehow wangled us a table. Now you tell me is that cool or what? read more

The food was really good. The server translated the whole menu for us and was really nice with good recommendations. The pasta is really good... thats what we came for. The man that we met was either the owner or the gm not sure... he was really nice. He shook our hands and asked us about our experience. Overall good time. read more

This restaurant was recommended to me by a friend and I have to say, for a tourist travelling alone it was very disappointing from the moment I stepped in the door. The manager got upset when I didn't want to sit in the corner near the door where it was drafty and reluctantly let me sit elsewhere. That was obviously annoying for them as they pretty much ignored me from that point forward. I sat patienly for 10 minutes before someone brought some stale bread and water, both of which I got charged for. I hadn't asked for either. It was the same thing as I waited to make my drink order and then finally my food order. Each time it felt as if I was interrupting them from something else they were doing. The whole experience felt as if they just didn't want me there. When the bill came it was annoying to be charged for the bread (I accept that most places charge for water) and to have such a terrible service when I've had really great ones in most other restaurants. The food was below average for the price and I'm not really sure I got what I ordered. All up I really recommend you go elsewhere. read more
