My family and I ended up eating here two nights in a row and it just kept getting better. Fantastic service, very attentive and personable. The food was amazing as well. The Wild Boar Ragu with Papparadelle was amazing. I would highly recommend this restaurant and my family and I will make a point to visit again on our next trip to Rome. read more

This place was so good that we went back the very next night! The owner is friendly, the decor is cute, and the waiters are all spectacular. The FOOD!! Fresh, flavorful and fantastic. I recommend the oxtail pasta. Very close to the Spanish Steps, but definitely not a tourist trap. read more

If I could give this place a zero I would. Horrible, horrible service and very rude employees. First we went in and it was very visible that tables were available for service, yet the short Hispanic looking man refused us. So we went out and called the restaurant and made a reservation for three and they said there was a table open for us. As soon we we went back in, the short Hispanic man gave us a table for two, when it was visibly apparent that there was three people and a reservation for three. Then, when we pointed that out, he got loud and told us that that it was what was available. Obviously he is either illogical or very rude. Finally, they cleared a table off for us (which I mind you we had to wait for) then as soon we sat, we did not receive menus for 5 minutes. And after 15 minutes had passed no one even asked if we wanted a drink. This establishment is pure disappointment and we would never recommend anyone to support a business this rude. read more

34 hands down was one of the best meals I had in Italy. We came here after seeing the Spanish steps in Rome. We were hungry and wanted dinner. We chose our seats outside and were warmly greeted by our waiter. He was very good. We ordered a half bottle of white and red wine for our table. Then I ordered the gnocchi with prawns in a red sauce and my husband ordered the Special 34 ravioli's. That gnocchi was so good, I was sad when I finished it. No joke. Like almost in tears, sad. The ravioli was delish too - my hubby let me have a bite or two. Then I ordered the grilled calamari and my husband ordered the veal roman style. Both were amazing. Everything was just perfect. The atmosphere, the waiter, and the food. Awesome experience there. read more

We were hungry and didn't want to talk far and found this restaurant on yelp for dinner. The mixed cured meat plate was a monster portion and the black bean soup with lobster was an absolute delight. My veal osso bucco was ok but the pasta with lobster and seafood was out of this world, hopefully Molly that must be the most tasty pasta I have had for as long as I can remember, salty but beautiful. Good service and nice establishment, this is a place for a not too fancy but rock your taste bud dinner. read more

The pesto wheelbarrow pasta was the best pesto pasta I've ever had in my life. You also can't go wrong with the branzino. The brick vaulted ceilings provide an incredible atmosphere. Sure it's close to the Piazza d'Espagna, but this place still feels like a locals' haunt rather than an overrun tourist gimmick. Grazie mille, 34, for some of the best dining I've had in Italia. read more

Packed with guests. Excellent staff. Food was fantastic. We had fish and eggplant parmigiana. Wonderful neighborhood too.

With its close promixity to the Spanish steps, 34 can become packed with tourists and locals alike. However, the waitstaff were kind and understanding, the menu was vast and intriguing, and nothing we ordered was anything short of very good. I will say that the calamari we ordered was rather tough, but the flavor was good. Everything else was great! read more

Positively incorrect Yelp posts. Service was terrible, pasta was barely cooked, not close al dente and closer to having been in boiling water for seconds(crunchy!). Osso Bucco had two bites of meat on the bone. Couldn't be more shocked at how incorrect the reviews are. Sitting outside and watching the Roma world pass by was great, but a ton of restaurants in the Spanish Steps area that give the same ambiance. Choose anywhere else. read more

I have been to Rome 3 years in a row and I always return to this restaurant. The food here is wonderful. Prices are reasonable. The food is fantastic. The service is unsurpassed. Try the cuttlefish soup. I dare you to tell me it is not wonderful. Pasta is wonderful. Bread is wonderful. Secure an outdoor table. Enjoy a wonderful meal....then walk it off through the wonderful surrounding streets. Writing this makes me long to go back. read more

You must eat here when you visit Roma! This place was FANTASTIC!! We had some of the best food here during our two week stay in Roma. I had the carbonara pasta and my bf had the ravioli with some of the best creme sauce I have ever had in my life! We also tried the squash blossoms which I really liked, but my bf didn't like at all because the anchovies were just too strong for him. The waiter recommended their house wine which not only was very inexpensive, it was also awesome! I even found the same brand here at home! Yay! I only wish we could have eaten here more. Oh well, a reason to return to Italy :) read more

Touristy and bland... maybe the best is to get out of that tourist trap neighborhood and eat where Romans eat.

What an amazing place, a block from the Spanish Steps. Sitting outsize or inside - you can't go wrong. They have 2 different types of meatball entrees, I had the veal ones, which were amazing. We also had the red table wine which was cheap and awesome. Let me brag about the Tiramisu - OK, I have never had one as fresh, moist and amazing as this. No Tiramisu anywhere else can ever compete. This is a must have, even if you are stuffed. The owner was super friendly and talked to us at our table. The staff was overly attentive. And "mamma" ... the owners mom, was there and what a sweetheart... we tried to talk, but I don't speak Italiano... Absolutely love this place. A must go in Roma! read more

our first dinner in rome and it was delicious. I've gnocchi with crab - amazing. my husband spaghetti with clam sauce really good. Also try bean soup with lobster and shrimp read more

Great menu! Impeccable service! Delicious food! All in the heart of Rome! The baked gnocchi was fantastic! Also loved the veal shank with roasted potatoes! All the dishes we had were authentic and delicious. We loved it so much we went back another night on our trip. read more

Food was actually pretty good - spaghetti with clams and the rome gnocchi. However the service was so horrendous that I can't recommend this place. Our server practically ignored us, didn't bring out our second order of water, didn't bring us bread even though we were charged the normal service fee for it, didn't change out plates from salad to main meal, and actually scowled at us when we sat down. read more

We had just arrived in Rome and we're looking for a restaurant to have a nice first meal in Italy before proceeding with our busy schedule of doing absolutely nothing... Italian style! We arrived and were seated within 5 minutes. We had a couple lovely appetizers (the burrata could be creamier) and generally the food was good. Unfortunately the service was extremely disappointing. Both courses came very late and we probably waited a good half hour between the starters and the main course. Adding insult to injury, the waitstaff weren't making the situation any better by arguing with us and being generally rude. Shame. read more

Best meal of our entire trip to Italy. Ask the waiter to recommend the starters, order the general chianti and enjoy. Family run locals place. Enjoy read more

Worst meal and service we have had after 2 weeks in Italy. The cacio Pepe was cold and I could pick the entire plate of pasta up with the fork as it was stuck together like a brick. The "special" burrata bruschetta was soggy and tasted like warm cream cheese. The lamb Roman style was no meat just fat and bone. The waiter had no personalality or sense of hospitality and at the end of the meal he told us to leave him a tip in cash. If you enjoy a delicious meal with good service, don't go here. read more

Good resturant. The pasta that my wife ordered was delicious, and my tuna was good, despite the bitter taste of the vegtable under the fish. Very good service, and very goot teramisu. read more

Best meal in Italy hands down. Amazing food here, our minds were blown. We had flavors that we've never tasted before. I started with a seafood soup, awesome! First course we had the paccheri with cherry tomatoes, buffalo mozz and goat cheese it was tits. Next we had rolled shrimps in swordfish, holy crap it was amazing! Meal to remember, can't wait to go back! read more

The food was nice. The service was awesome. I couldn't pick between tripe and ox tail, so the waiter got me a mix of both on the same plate. He also gave us an extra fried zucchini blossom so J can try it. read more

We discovered this place completely by accident and what a great find. We really liked it here. The waiter was extremely friendly. The food was excellent as was the wine. Through in the great atmosphere and this was one of our better meals in Rome. read more

Fabulous. Treat yourself to the veal saltimbocca alla romana with the artichokes roman style. Best meal ever. Wash it down with a nice chianti. read more

I had dinner there with family. I ordered the lasagna. It tasted great although it needed more salt. I also had the Roman style artichoke, which is something you don't want to miss! We were all satisfied with our dishes and the prizes are reasonable. read more

Cute atmosphere decorated like an Italian home and living room. Food and service is average. Nothing that stood out, but nothing was bad either. read more

My husband and I came here for dinner. Not too crowded, service was very fast and food was delicious. We were kicking ourselves when we left for not ordering more! read more

Best dinner we had in Rome, hands down. They had a larger menu compared to other restaurants in Rome that all had a small menu of the same typical dishes. They had all the typical dishes plus a wide variety of meat and seafood dishes. Everything was super fresh with generous portions. Simple ingredients and well-seasoned food. There were a lot of locals eating here and the servers were all kind and helpful. I highly recommend and will def return. read more

This is a great restaurant to enjoy a classic meal and a perfect location close to the Spanish Steps. While there is a busy tourist trade, there are also plenty of locals and a great local feel to the restaurant. Be sure to come by and make a reservation if you are in high season. read more

Best place we ate in all of Italy. Funny, colorful waiters. Amazing food (lobster linguini is to die for!). Great location.

Good service, very friendly but got a bit slow when they got busy - we struggled to get the bill at the end, but they were really very busy at that point. Dined al fresco which was extremely pleasant. We shared a saute'd mussel appetiser - it was plenty for two and was delicious, melt in your mouth tender mussels, succulent with a lovely broth. Mains were the fried sea bream which was cooked on a layer of potato rosti and was very nice and a shrimp and monkfish wrap, once again very nice. We ordered sides of veg - which were good but not really needed as the mains came with assorted veg. Realistically a 4.5 out of 5 place. Slow service at the end was the only negative. read more

Restaurant 34 never disappoints! And our waiter, Renzo, was the best - offered awesome suggestions, sang as he worked, friendly and kind! If you go there (which you should) ask for Renzo and tip him well! read more

Wow. If you want to try excellent Tripe ala Roma. This place is it. Tender enough to cut with a fork and not a bit of funk. Well cleaned. Only grandma could do better. The sauce was perfect. My wife had a large pasta with mozzarella which was great too. Oh yeah. The prices aren't bad either. read more

Great service, good food and wonderful atmosphere! The waiters treat you with such kindness ! Definitely returning here again!

Greetings from Rome my fellow Yelpsters! Dined at 34 last night on recommendation of my hotel San Carlo. Seated promptly. Service throughout the nite was a bit inattentive as I've come to expect in my European travels. Ordered squash blossoms (what we would call zucchini blossoms) and a first course pasta dish with a mushroom & meat sauce I can't pronounce nor recall. Squash blossoms were not the light & airy lightly fried versions we might expect in U.S.--these were much larger about the size of a hamburger patty--and as best I could forensically decipher the blossom is paired with mozzarella & some pork before friying. End result is like a high level mozzarella stick. Pasta dish was nice but not memorable. Probably looked to be about 70% tourist and while interior and ambience were acceptable I'll look for better options in the nights to come. Do it if you need to otherwise keep walking. read more

Came into 34 at 11:15 pm and we were welcomed despite our late arrival. Extremely helpful waiter, super efficient service, absolutely delicious food. We will definitely be back. read more

Went at 8:45 and got a table inside for 5. Cool and well air conditioned after very hot day. Very busy and service was slow (15 min for waiter to come to table; 15 min more for bottle of water to arrive at table). Food was excellent - grilled bass was while fish that was deboned by waiter; spaghetti with clams was fabulous - great sauce and tons of clams (also spaghetti with seafood was amazing). If service better, would have easily rated a 4+. read more

We happened to just walk by and it looked great. The food was wonderful and the wait staff really was attentive. My wife had the wild boar ragu which she loved, and I had the ox tail. I wouldn't have been so bold to pick the ox tail but the server explained to me that it is an Rome specialty and it is like a braised, slow cooked pot roast. I took the gamble on it, OMG it was the most tasty and memorable dish from my whole trip to Italy. Had the Panna cotta for desert and that was pretty good too. Would highly recommend checking this place out! read more

We were looking for authentic and we found it. We started with the tortellini soup and a Caesar salad. The tortellini soup was amazing in a clear broth and fresh herbs, the Caesar wasn't quite like a classic Caesar, yet still tasty. Gnocchi with prawns was a unique and perfectly flavored dish as well as the Sicilian style pesto pasta with almonds rather than pine nuts. The dessert, a frozen hazelnut with hot chocolate, was to die for. What made this meal extra special was our server, Hermano. You could tell he had been a waiter for a long time, he was seemingly rushed maybe to some at first, and a little gruff on the exterior, yet we so enjoyed his entertaining responses, smiles, recommendations and, when we asked his opinion on chocolate salami, simply, "It's a problem". If you want ambiance and food that isn't touristy, do 42. read more

Great food. Please note that its not placere correctly on the map. Look for Dobar on the map to find it. Further down the street - no 34 of course. ;-) read more
