    On our last night in Roma, we had to finally try al Moro as my husband kept telling me he wants to eat here every single day we were here. It was only a block away from our apartment at Trevi, so we passed by daily. It was always full so that's a good sign. We hadn't realized how big this restaurant was as we had only noticed the outside portion. It's actually huge on the inside. We got the only table outside. Our waiter, Vincenzo was super nice, helpful and very attentive. We started with the house red wine which was delicious! We ordered... Artichokes Zucchini flowers filled with cheese Sauteed spinach with garlic Oxtale stew House pasta with truffles Espresso Strawberry cake The portions were huge and I couldn't finish the oxtail. If I come here again, I'll order everything but the oxtail as it was too much food. Unless I come with a Carnivore, then I'll order it. Best parts of the entire meal were the artichokes, zucchini flowers and the pasta with truffles. If you're in Roma and come to the Trevi fountain, you have to eat here. It's authentic Italian and amazingly delicious!

    Old school Italian spot that does it like no other. It came highly recommended and I could taste why, try their special carbonara . Make reservations in advance and be mindful of your stomach capacity because portions are very shareable

    caprese salad

    BEST MEAL I HAVE EVER HAD. each course was delectable. the caprese salad was SO flavorful and the meatballs melted in my mouth. i cannot say enough good things about al moro!!!

    White truffle pasta
    Ana L.

    I'll begin by saying I was expecting much better from some of the reviews I read. The host and the first server I encountered when I entered the door gave me a sense of snobbishness so didn't exactly get the welcoming feel. My waiter was ok but I felt rushed and was basically coerced into trying the artichoke as an appetizer which he seemed to indicate was a Roman special. He also suggested their carbonara but I opted for the white truffle pasta. He asked if I wanted sparking or still water I told him sparkling would be fine. He brought over a big bottle of Pelegrino (I won't drink a whole bottle by myself) and I asked for red wine. He suggested the house and that was nothing special. When the artichoke arrived it looked presentable but when I tried it it lacked in flavor, barely seasoned. Not something I'd choose again. Would have been better served with a capresi salad which is probably what I would have chosen had I not been pressured to try the artichoke. Finally I get my pasta and was eager to try but first impression was disappointing. It was nothing but a small portion of pasta with truffle oil, nothing else. Very plain and a bit overcooked. With every bite I regretted choosing to eat at this place. To make matters worse the price for this barely dinner worthy meal cost me €65, which normally I don't mind paying this amount for dinner for 1 but to pay this much for basically 2 olive oil drizzled artichokes and a €35 plate of plain pasta with a little truffle fragrance is definitely not worth it. Was so disappointed I didn't even order dessert or expresso which is my usual follow up. Ended up getting gelato at Gelateria Romana near by instead and so glad I did. Paid €5 for 2 flavors (pistachio and Baccio) and it was delicious! This is not my first rodeo in Italy nor in Rome for that matter. I've been to several other restaurants that not only the pasta dishes were abundant but very flavorful and perfectly prepared and my bill was almost half what I paid in this place. Don't think I'll be returning. Very disappointing

    Wine list
    David P.

    Al Moro is an amazing place! Staff is very friendly and helpful. All the food is incredible so if you're unsure what to order ask your waiter for assistance and I'm sure you won't be disappointed. The wine list is extensive and written by hand! You will definitely need a reservation and probably well in advance.

    House pasta with shaved black truffle - simply divine

    Traditional Italian trattoria. Old school wait staff willing to offer suggestions and walk you through the extensive dinner menu and wine list--both are exceptional. Good place for a special occasion, as it is more expensive than many other places around. Wander over to the Trevi Fountain afterwards for a beautiful date night.

    Mushrooms to be cooked!

    This place is a right by the Trevi Fountain tucked away in a back alley which is perfect because you won't find tourists here. A priest and his party, Italian businessmen & other random locals were the clientele here. It's been around since the 20's! The waiters are quite prim and proper. To be honest not the friendliest guys in the world but they get the job done and they it well & efficiently. Some of the best pasta I've had & you can tell it was hand made and cut. The artichoke anti pasta was perfect! The gelato was my favorite dessert amongst the 3 we all shared. Be prepared to shell out some euros at this place but every euro cents is worth it!

When we arrived on a late afternoon, we waited about 10 minutes before getting seated. To start off, we got the Limoncello Spritz (€10) and Aperol Spritz (€10), which were refreshing. For our pasta, we ordered the Fettuccine with Oxtail (€18) and Carbonara (€17). We also wanted to order two more Secondi dishes, but the waiter warned us that the pasta is filling. After we finished the pasta, we did still order the Rabbit (€19) because it wasn't something we usually see on the menu. For the carbonara, the flavor was delicious but not really my favorite pasta shape. It was also quite al dente with a chewy texture. I have to say that the oxtail was spectacular though with its juicy and tender meat sauce. While the rabbit was nice to try once, it was a bit dry with minimal meat. Overall, good spot but nothing worth waiting too long for. Also, I'd stick to the pasta here as it's all handmade. You even see them handrolling them inside. Note that they also charge €2 per person for service fee already.

The pasta was perfectly cooked, coated in the creamiest, silkiest sauce, and the Parmesan cheese was absolutely heavenly. Simple ingredients, flawless execution. I also had the berry cheesecake, and it was just as amazing. Light, creamy, not too sweet, and the berry topping tied everything together perfectly. Pure heaven from start to finish. From the food to the experience, this place is a must when you're in Rome. I'd come back again and again without hesitation.

    Our first meal in Rome was here, and I'm so glad it was here. We arrived on Christmas Eve and…read morewanted a good meal. Our hotel manager had suggested another restaurant, but I was apprehensive to try, but did later, more on that restaurant review in it's own post. I rather did what I should have done throughout the trip to, which is to search google for local reviews. This tactic I found to be much better than to trust American reviews for restaurants to visit from Youtube or even here, just because the American touristy taste tends to favor bland or Olive Garden style pseudo Italian. The real Italian taste is much different and something one needs to develop. I was familiar with European Italian food, as I had said before in other reviews that Mexico has better Italian food outside of Italy. Additionally, the good restaurants here in Italy do not open before 7 PM. If it does or if someone that looks foreign to Italy is outside trying to lure you in, it's a tourist restaurant with iffy flavor. At this restaurant my husband had the Lobster pasta and I had the spinach/ricotta ravioli, and we both were beyond satisfied. We also had the artichoke as an appetizer, and trusted the waiter with his suggestion for a bottle of wine. He must have been some genius because the wine went well with our meal. The ambience was cozy and very family oriented, however, the rain outside made it romantic for us. Another key point for this restaurant and it traditional flare was that they brought out the olive oil and red vinegar for our salad and of course olive oil for our wonderful home-made bread. I'm so glad we chose this place for those of us Americans who understand culinary cuisine.

    Great first meal in Rome!…read more I loved my artichoke pasta dish with bacon, it was a daily special. The amaretto dessert was delicious! Carbonara was super al dente. Seafood risotto was fresh. Grilled radicchio was like stir fried. Dinner for 3 for 77 euros, impressively busy for a Tuesday night. Friendly staff, easy for English speakers. :)
