Entire staff were welcoming, friendly and made us feel special. Wonderful wine list. We did it the Italian way with appetizer, first and second course and finished with desert. About 50 euros per person without wine. I had the mushroom Wellington, oxtail ravioli and finished with a chocolate eclair. My wife had the caccio e Pepe, salted cod and pavloma with kiwi and coconut. Just marvelous. Highly recommend. Worth the drive or taxi. A bit out of the way so not filled with obnoxious tourists. Five stars

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. The garlic was well infused in their dish as well. The owner, Roberto was very gracious as well as the waitress that helped us. It was indeed a pleasure dining in this restaurant and we will definitely be back the next time we visit Rome.

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.

The service was occasionally a bit slow, but we didn't mind, as it gave us a chance to digest our food. We would definitely return when next here, just to try a different menu.

Our waiter one of the siblings of the family working there was great at answering questions and helping us understand the menu which was fairly large. The items were ala crate. We had the tavern sPecial antipasto (2 plus pizza crust bread) for the seven of us and it was just the right amount. The house labeled red wine was fantastic (we left with 4 extra bottles to enjoy on the rest of our vacation.) We all thoroughly enjoyed our selections and share amongst our table. They included gnocchi, pizza, brachiosaurus, spinach, chicory, eggplant balls. They were all 'fantastico'. The eggplant balls were the favorite (probably because we are all from the Southern USA where everything is fired!). If I had one critique it might be that the creme brûlée was not very smooth/creamy but still delicious. Overall we highly recommend La Taverna Del Bracho right down to the security provided in the parking lot(which looked secure anyway). The pricing was very fair. Without the wine the price was about $15euro/person. We will definitely return!

They serve traditional Roman and Italian cuisine, so we decided to try it, and it turned out to be a great decision. We didn't want to eat too much, so we shared a Caprese salad and a Margherita pizza. The service was good, and the atmosphere was comfortable. Since the weather was nice, we opted to sit outside. The cheese and tomatoes in the salad were delicious. The pizza was very good and sufficient for the two of us, and the house white wine gave me just the little buzz I needed to relax.
