    Menu page 1, Al Gran Sasso. 1/28/18

    Excellent from start to finish. This is a home style traditional Roman small kitchen /resto with accommodating staff with attention to match. Go in the basement where it's more intimate, the wine collection is kept, where Vladimiro (AGS's most helpful waitperson) runs the show. Listen to the locals' reviews and people who know Roman food. This resto has been here since the 1950s. It's ironic that it's just a few hundred yards from the Piazza del Popolo yet it's not frequented by non-Italians: they would rather visit the flashier (still good food) like Da Bolognese and easily identifiable restos on the piazza. The food has always been solid here even during college when summers and spring brought me to Europe and to chill and eat. If you don't know Roman food do come here. It's a small family run place and everyone who works here cares about your contentment. If you do know Roman food and have never been to Al Gran Sasso; it's time. Savor the wonderful cooking and discover why la cucina Romana (Roman kitchen) is simple, zen, has awesome deliciousness and hurls one's gastronomic soul to the clouds. Visits: since college Tip: I like the cellar room downstairs, smaller intimate. Super nice wine list. Very very nice prices.

    Torta di mele with ice cream!

    It was wonderful. We sat in the charming downstairs. The server was friendly and welcoming, the food was amazing, and the price was excellent. You have to try the homemade desserts--the torta di mele (apple cake) was my absolute favorite. We have been in Italy for a week--Venice and now Rome--and this was our best dining experience, hands down.

    The bill was very, very reasonable for the quality of food, served 5 min away from the Spanish Steps or the Plaza del Popolo.

    Food was great staff was very friendly. They helped my wife and I pick out delicious meals. Really…read moreenjoyed our time here!

    Review # 1200 After…read moresome shopping on the Via cola Di Riemzo, we were ready for lunch. This spot was a Yelp find. We arrived just before they opened at 12:30. We asked for a table outside and the kind lady asked us if we had a reservation (oh oh). We didn't. No problem as we took our pick of one of the tables. Two levels inside with a small Bar in the back. Before we knew it, outside seating was full and inside also filled up-a good sign. We ordered a liter (ended up being too much but when in Rome...) of their house Red and enjoyed it. For starters, we ordered the Fried Artichokes (thick breading and will order the Roman style with garlic/vinegar next time), fried Zucchini and Suppli-Cacio Pepe. The Suppli was delicious and was enjoyed the most. For main, it was Pasta Carbonara (Guanciale )-Proper carbonara and the streak of not having a bad version of this dish in Rome continues. The sliced Beef with mushrooms was also delicious -super tender and thin pieces of beef (medium rare as requested). We asked if the Tiramisu was house-made. Our server answered, "yes, and I am the one who makes it." How could we not order after that?! One of the best Tiramisus we've had. Perfect balance of coffee dipped lady fingers with cream-delicious! Our Server was kind, attentive and full of hustle -she was covering a lot of ground. Don't miss this Gem if you are in the Prati district.

    Yes, it's worth the wait if you go there early. We stood in line at 12:30 on a weekday, as in,…read morelunchtime. We were 2nd in line and waited about 30 minutes. I would wait longer. I had possibly the most amazing chick food pasta a girl could imagine. Girls know what girl food is. The pasta in Italy is just better -obviously. But then put all sorts of girl flavors on it like Lemon and Orange, just lightly enough, zest with a small hint of cheese-..... omgosh. Yes, yes, and yes. Need my hubs to replicate at home. He is going to be busy trying to perfect this. Tagliatelle with orange and lemon parmesan. This was it. It was the best. Everything else we ordered was amazing as well. Wait outside. They don't have a sign telling you to wait, no server telling you to wait. You wait out there, wondering if you're in the right place, but then people stand behind you and you're like - oh! I'm here. This is the place. There are possibly 4 tables inside. It's small. I read about them being rude- we did not have that problem. In fact, they made a mistake and we kindly let them know we ordered something else- they corrected it and were nice about it.

    After a long morning in the Vatican (there is sooo much stuff!), we were on the verge of hangry…read moreand thanks to Yelp, decided to check out BPA (way too long to spell out!). So happy we did as this place definitely delivers. There is seriously like 8 tables in the dining room so expect a wait in line but trust me, it's worth it. We waited outside for about 25 minutes. They do take your order while in line so the wait for food (once you do get a table) is abbreviated. Out of the world pastas and the pistachio tiramisu is seriously out of this world. Inexpensive table wine rounds out a great meal. This is the type of place I love to go to. It's quaint, zero pretense and delivers on its food. A great find!
