Our tour guide recommended this spot for lunch and what a recommendation it was! We arrived around 1:30 on a Wednesday. Still busy for lunch and at first there weren't any outdoor tables but somehow one became available right after we arrived. Smaller interior with sectioned dining areas and a good sized outdoor eating area. Our server recommended the Buffalo Ricotta cheese with honey truffle-wow! It was exquisite-so light with honey truffle taking it over the top. They ran out of their Rose so we went with the recommended Red-Monica de Sardegna (delicate/spicy- Sardinian) For main, despite many enticing options, we ordered Lasagna Funghi and the Ricotta Ravioli stuffed with artichokes with Cacio Pepe cream. The lasagna was like no other we've had before -must try! The Ravioli was decadent and creamy-delicious! We were talked into the fresh Panna Cotta for dessert-simple, fruity and light -just right with our espresso and milk. Our server, Anna, took great care of us-kind and patiently provided recommendations and menu option details. One of the top restaurants in the Monti area and not to be missed! read more

This place is so freakin' good. Hubs and I went 2 times while in Rome, which we never do. The porchetta was amazeballs. Hubs got the meatballs and they were also good. One of the times we just went in for snacky things and got the dried pork strips/sausages and the buffalo ricotta and truffle honey. So good!!! Also tried the pulpo (octopus) salad that had potatoes - I wasn't expecting it to be warm, but I really enjoyed it. Ambiance is nice and they had some local beers on tap that I also enjoyed. The outside is beautiful with all the vines. The inside of the restaurant is super cozy. Love it. read more

This spot is a total vibe. Always crowded & vibrant but we happen to slip in and saddle up to the minuscule bar. This place was hopping! Staff is really fun and fast and humorous. Enjoyed an excellent Sauvignon Blanc from Puglia. They offered a solid wine menu, craft cocktails, and European draft beers. We enjoyed smaller plates, the carpaccio was incredibly fresh. Eggplant Parm was tender and rich. Almonds and olives and crusty bread, and a well dressed salad to start. . Some of the neighborhood regulars even bring their pets. Super cool spot close to Colosseum another attractions as well as some other wine bars. read more

The ambiance was typical and casual. The server was friendly and ambiance is best described as casual and the bar next door. The food was lacking salt throughout, but otherwise good. I'd come back with friends but that's all. read more

The waiters were all really sweet and accommodating of us not speaking French which I appreciated a lot! We arrived around 6:45pm with no reservation and despite it being a popular restaurant, they were able to seat us within 15 minutes. I ordered a lasagna, which was pretty yummy but a little on the salty side. My brother got a chicken tomato dish which was delicious, it was hearty and warm. Overall, a very solid experience! read more

Looked on Yelp for an authentic local restaurant and found this recommendation. Easy walk from my hotel using Apple Maps, and the entire front is covered with beautiful vines and greenery. I was seated quickly, without a reservation, around 7pm. Waiters speak great English and I ordered the buffalo ricotta with truffle honey, truffle sausages, lasagna, and ravioli. Ricotta with truffle honey - great portion, affordable, and tasty. The waiter brought some olive oil and salt and pepper for a savory twist as well. We ordered bread on the side since there was no carb with this dish. Truffle sausages - small bites and rich flavor. Lasagna - loved the beef ragu component. Delicious! Easy to share between two people. Ravioli- no meat in this dish, had 5 pieces and creamy and cheesy. Great place to welcome us to Italy! read more

We came in late from Venezia and noticed this place had plenty of life! Walked up to get some food and to our disappointment it was closing. Adriano and Alex welcomed us in, and said no problem please sit and order. This is that at home feel, come sit, eat and enjoy. The service was excellent. The food top tier. You won't regret it. I Highly recommend it. read more

My wife's favorite restaurant in the entire world. Asia. Europe. Africa. This place. Every time we visit family in Naples, we spend a day in Rome to eat at Ai Tre Scalini. Cheese plate with honeycomb to start. Life changing. read more

We stopped here for dinner one night in Rome and really enjoyed ourselves. We chose to sit outside and the street is very busy so it is a little noisy, but still a great place! We got the meatballs and lasagna and enjoyed both. The meatballs don't come with noodles or anything but we got some extra bread to eat it with! They were big and juicy and the sauce had a lot of flavor. The lasagna was also tasty and a pretty big slice too! I couldn't finish it sadly but wished I could. We also got the hummus which tasted super fresh and went perfectly with the bread! Def recommend stopping in if you are staying nearby. Service was also really fast for being in Europe. read more

Intro: I had to be up early the next day so I was looking for a dinner spot close to the apartment I was staying at. Ai Tre Scalini was a short walk away so my decision was made. Once I arrived, they were close to capacity but I was seated at the bar. Ambiance (4/5): Located in a lively part of Rome, they have a nice outdoor patio and a trendy interior. It makes for a fun spot to have dinner, a drink, or both. Drinks (4/5): Compared to other spots I visited, this bar/restaurant was at the top in terms of Italian craft beers on the menu. Which is exactly what I ordered. I love to try local beers whenever I'm traveling. Service (2/5): Quite the snafu on the part of the bartender. I ordered an appetizer and a main dish by mentioning my order to the bartender while simultaneously pointing to the dish on the menu. My appetizer arrived so I chowed down on that for quite a while. A lot of time passed and I still hadn't received my entree. Eventually, I brought it up to the bartender. After some initial confusion, we realized that he had misheard my entree selection and thought that I had ordered a second appetizer instead. Since the appetizer was more of a snack, I had thought it was complimentary and it's common in Italy to receive snacks with your drink order. Once the air was cleared, they brought my entree out as fast as they could and they took the second appetizer off of my bill. Sometimes things are lost in translation. It was unfortunate on my part because I was in a hurry but they did their best to make things right which I appreciated. Food (3/5): The starter or light bite that I ordered was some cheese croquettes. I was expecting the croquettes that you get at Spanish restaurants, for example. Instead, they were just cheese crisps. Like something you would get from a grocery store as a snack. Not something I would ever order at a restaurant. For my entree, I had the meatballs. They were tasty and served in a red sauce. While quite good, it was a small portion. Overall: Some bad luck on my part here so maybe a second visit would fare better. Despite the mishap, Ai Tre Scalini seems overpriced for the portion sizes in my opinion. read more

I just had a small lunch here. Perhaps the item I ordered wasn't the right thing. I got the porchetta because the first time I had it somewhere else was good. Here, the pork was so dry and not enough skin to give more flavor. I had to request the mustard because it just wasn't good on its own. The mista insalate was just mixed greens with some olives. For 7.50 euros, it was just ok. Our server was really nice though. She spoke English. We had to pay inside. Credit card accepted. Bathroom was also inside for patrons only. Free wifi was nice! read more

A random local that I made friends with recommended this place. Thanks to yelp I was able to find those place easily by looking at the outside photos. Traveler friendly! They have complimentary wifi for you if you didn't get a SIM card or pocket wifi. Staff is friendly and speaks English well. Took my order almost as soon as I sat down even though the place was busy. Ricotta di buffalo e Miele Al tartufo (ricotta cheese with truffle honey): 5/5 you can smell the truffle and it smelled amazing. The cheese and creamy and light. All of this paired with the slightly bitter mixed greens made this a really balanced plate. Parmigiana do melanzane con ricotta Salata (parmigiana with eggplant and salty ricotta) 3.5/5 it was okay, not mind blowing. I wouldn't order this again, but I can see how it a person likes tomato pastas they would like this. read more

Excellent place and attention. Food is delicious and prices very convenient. 100% recommend

The view is great and you can't beat this for location in Piazza Navona. They are also famous for their tartufo which is a semifreddo dessert covered in chocolate shell. That being said, the service is a bit slapdash and they totally forgot an order which meant one of our party was waiting 20 mins for his dish while we had all finished eating. Obviously you are paying for the location, so you are not getting great value for money - the food is way better on many other places away Piazza Navona. read more

Best lasagna I have ever had! Do not miss this fabulous local spot. Greek salad was great and so was the Hugo spritz! A must stop.

Stopped in for a drink on a Saturday night. They had a good beer list and a great vibe. Everyone there was nice although it gets a little crowded. However , highly recommend this place if you're looking to have a drink and hang out. read more

The food had a great taste but a bit to cold in my opinion they also had a wide variety of Italian sodas but a little problem that I did don't is that the sparkling water wasn't to sparkling the service was really good great attitude and attention was also pretty good I am not disappointed the desserts either small had a good taste I would recommend read more

This broke our food-virginity in Italy as it was the first restaurant we visited in Italy on our travels! So you know what they say about your first, right!? What this place does is not-have-a-kitchen approach and rather prepares the meals in advance and heats them up. Not good, right? Wrong. Can't even notice because the food is so amazing. You wouldn't have even noticed if I didn't note it here. Try the truffle salami, lord help me. read more

This was my favorite cheap eats and favorite dinner I had in Roma. Service has always been outstanding and even with a slight language barrier sometimes, the staff has never once disappointed. Great low key place. I've only had the chance to dine indoors but it's so lovely that I didn't mind not sitting outdoors once. Even if there are people waiting for tables, there is absolutely no rush. Great food (especially the Roman chicken). read more

Wow wow wow! This was a quick solution after a long day and a quick yelp search for some local places. Boy did this place deliver, service was attentive and so fast, ambiance was just amazing, truly authentic Italian and a bopping vibe. The food, the food was unreal, the lasagne was by far the best I've had in my life, the fried potatoes were perfect and possibly my favourite. Get here early as a line forms pretty fast, but I promise it's worth the wait. read more

This was one of our favorite meals in Rome. Beautiful restaurant and wonderful staff, the food was beyond incredible. Highly recommend!

First restaurant I've been in Rome. I got the pan con tomate and the lasagna, both great but not mind blowing. The wine yes was mind blowing - their Pinot was out of this world! A lot of character in the place, and the servers were super nice and friendly. There can be a line for dinner, but ask about the bar, esp if in 1 or 2 people. read more

Rome, Italy Fantastic dinner and service, we had the prosciutto & mozzarella, Ravioli, Cannelloni, 4 different wines by the glass and Limoncellos for dessert.... All very very good. Would like to have sat in the street patio but alas it was crowded. Also, we interacted with 3 different servers, all were very friendly and accommodating. Great experience. read more

Literally the only restaurant in all of Rome that left a bad taste in my mouth. It's in close proximity to the hotel so tried to walk in one night and he asked me if I had a reservation. There were three parties ahead of us so we decided to try a different restaurant. The next day at around lunch time I asked to make a reservation for that evening and the guy at the door who was on his phone couldn't be bothered and just told me that they didn't take any dinner reservations .. and I even after I explained the interaction I had the night prior all he could do was shrug his shoulders and just dismissed me. Very likely the rudest waiter I've ever encountered in all of Rome. Hope anyone reading this review has a better experience than I did. read more

We arrived and were seated quickly without a reservation on a Wednesday night around 7 pm. The food was satisfying and the service was fantastic. As an appetizer, we ordered the Cured sausage for two came with four types of cheeses and four those of meat. The cheese included two soft kinds of cheese (ricotta and Buffalo mozzarella) and two hard kinds of cheese. We also got the cured sausage with truffle. The cheese/meat platter had fantastic portions. Following appetizers, we ordered the lasagna with beef ragu. This satisfied our lasagna craving! Lastly, we finished dinner off with tiramisu which was delicious. read more

A very quick downhill experience. We were greeted kindly and offered to sit at the bar area while we waited for the table which didn't take too long. Both the person who greeted us and our server were initially friendly. We put our orders in and everything seemed to be going smooth. Our appetizer came out promptly, and we enjoyed it. However from here it was all downhill. After they collected our appetizer plates I ordered another beer which never came. We seemed to have been almost completely ignored and forgotten about upon finishing our appetizers, as we watched people who ordered after us receive their courses and leave, and even people who walked into the restaurant after us receive their meals too. We waited close to an hour before we we had to flag down the waiter and ask about our food and my beer. About 10 mins after asking the waiter, my plate/beer finally came but they handed my wife the completely wrong meal. After she waited another 10 mins for her correct order, it came out luke warm/ cold as if it had been microwaved. The waiter who seemed nice in the beginning of our meal, turned cold to us and seemed to have just not cared at all about us. They offered no apologies or anything to make up for the extremely lengthy inconvenience. If I ever come back to Rome, I'd eat at McDonald's before coming here. read more

Our second evening in Rome, an awesome dinner. We waited 25 minutes for a table (they estimated it would be more at first). We could take wine outside to wait, so we did - standing on cobblestones on an evening lit Roman street was just fine. It's a busy and fun place, an enoteca for sure - bar lines the front of the place, lots of tables inside. We had rosés and some reds listed on the blackboard - you want to go up to and read it if you're interested in wine. "Best gin and tonic in my whole life" one of us also reported. Beautiful, simple and yum gnocchi and red sauce; perfect caponata and meatballs; artichokes were okay; decadent olives. I know, it's Italy, still had to be said. People serving us were easy and good with details. We ranked it in peak eating experiences of our trip. read more

As usual, stumbled via yelp on this place- close to the collesum, but far enough. Small, but hopping. Found a place for 4 at the bar- 2 kids - no problem- no dirty looks - had Aperol spritz, a beer then started on the vino. House recommendations of course. We had lasagna (plus one to go), meatballs - 3 or 4 large and delicious meatballs, plus the toralli for a bar snack! We are full and happy. Left with 2 sodas, 4 wines, 1 Aperol for 50 Euro! What a deal! read more
