    As many yelpers rated them at 4 stars really hit the mark even though easily a 5 star rating! Service was adequate but could tell a sense of urgency on the wait staff to turn table over quickly...but food was excellent! My pasta was excellent here. And while the calamari & shrimp dish was acceptable, i've had better in Torino last year so expectation was high. Nice outdoor seating at 7pm and there were other similar restaurants all packed just after 7p. Surprised that my Alfredo had ragu styled meat on top vs chicken but actually made it flavorful! I drank practically whole bottle of Panna aqua because of the heat all day at 96 degrees! Hubby had a Tuscan wine and an old fashioned cocktail which helped refreshed him! Overall a great option in between our hotel and Termini area!

    We went to Alessio after looking for a good restaurant within walking distance of our hotel. We called for a reservation for outdoor seating, and when we got there, they accommodated us at a table for 7 outside. Since for a few of us, it was our last night in Italy, we were looking for a few traditional meals and Alessio delivered! We enjoyed their Insalata Mista, Fritto Mista, Carbonara, Fettuccini Ragu (AMAZING!), Risotto Scampi, Lasagna, and Cacio e Pepe. Everything was EXCELLENT and we sent my daughter and her new husband there the next week after their honeymoon in Sardinia. A truly wonderful experience!

    Seafood salad was vibrant!

    My daughter found Alessio for our final dinner in Italy. We had a memorable meal there! The staff was helpful. The restaurant was bright and comfortable. I had a very nice seafood salad with oranges and olives. Truly vibrant flavors. I shared some of the cheese platter that we had for the table, also quite good. I really enjoyed their cacio e pepe, not overly peppery but certainly well crafted.

    T bone steak

    T bone steak more than plenty for 4 people for a good price. Tasted delicious. Came with a salad

    Ravioli

    This is an authentic Italian meal. Our waiter's English was not the best. The salad was a good size. In Italy, it appears that healthy food is a must. Ordering a Caesar salad will get you a salad with a choice of olive oil or vinegar for dressings. No American Caesar salad dressing here. Healthy! I wanted the ravioli special without the artichokes, but I couldn't convey that to my waiter, so I keep the artichokes. I should never have removed them. My chicken with tomato sauce was not boneless chicken. It tasted good, but I had to remove some bones. My wife had the lamb with potatoes. The potatoes were great. The lamb was a little tough. It was a bigger portion than what I had yesterday. I think my wife may have asked it to be cooked a little more well (which would make it tough). The bathrooms were individual coed. One bathroom door to 4 individual toilets with their own sink. The service was fine. The place looked of hardwood and shine.

    I came in with two friends for an early dinner. We sat inside. The dining area is cozy and there is also outdoor seating. Our servers were very attentive and our food came out quickly. I had the rigatoni carbonara and it was delicious. I would definitely come back.

    The wife and I @ Alessio Ristorante - Rome - August 24, 2023.

    AWARENESS: Walking around the Monti area near our hotel in Rome, the wife and I happened upon this gem of a restaurant. NARRATIVE: Hosting both outdoor and indoor seating (indoor seating has air), this place will not disappoint. Because the weather outside was a balmy 104 degrees. The wife and I decided to dine indoors. Once seated, out sever handed us menus and explained the specials for the day. Starting with both sparkling and plain waters, we also asked for a liter of their red house wine (wine was only 12 euros). We also decided on our meals. I headed straight for the primi piatti (first course) and secndi piatti (main course) meals, deciding to skip the antipasti, contorni (sides) and dolci (desserts). My first course (pasta) was the Fettuccine Ragu with mushrooms and I went with the Veal Saltimbocca for my main course. Absolutely amazing stuff! SCENE: Located on the corners of Via Del Viminale and Via Principe Amedeo in the Monti area of Rome, Alessio Ristorante is a must stop to eat place if your near either the Colosseum or the Roma Termini train station. Both places are within walking distance from Alessio's. RECOMMENDATION(S): My only comment is: When in Rome....

    One of the best meals we ate! Service was top-notch. Would definitely eat here again on our next trip.

    Rigatoni alla carbonara
    Mary T.

    We came here to eat based on high Yelp reviews but were disappointed in its authenticity after eating here. Seating/location: indoors and outdoors, but we sat outside. Before even realizing this was a restaurant, the waiters already are asking you if you want a table for two. Of course we were looking for this restaurant based on our research, but seeing how over eager they were to seat you led us to believe this was a tourist trap. It's also very close to the local train station, so if you're sitting outside, be prepared to witness a bunch of people walking by with their suitcases. Staff: friendly. The ones that dealt with us kept their distance, and respected our space. There was one waiter serving the table next to us that was quite over friendly and obnoxious. After taking their orders, the one waiter challenged them to get a different drink/meal he recommended which they obliged to but then once the meal came out they were confused with the dish they received. It was awkward to witness. Separately and not an issue, but I did notice that all but one waiter appeared to be of Italian descent, which has me wondering about the restaurant's authenticity in terms of the quality of the food. Service was quick though and we were seated quickly with no reservation. Food: - bruschetta al pomodoro: bread was not very toasty and the there were no greens. We've had better at other Italian restaurants outside of Italy. - prosciutto e melone: the meat was good. The melons were slices and not balls/chunks which I found interesting since you had to cut with a fork and knife instead of doing one bite (not sure which one is the more authentic style). The melons were strangely very orange almost to the point of being food colored. - rigatoni alla carbonara: my BF got this and thought it was okay. We had other carbonara during the trip and he wouldn't necessarily come back to alessio and get this. If you want good carbonara, go somewhere else! - tonnarelli ai frutti di mare: I wasn't really impressed with the starters so was nervous about my entree. I was pleasantly surprised. I've never had this type/cut of pasta before, but I learned it's one of my favorites now! It's like a udon styled pasta. The sauce was phenomenal and light with some great seafood options mixed in. It was the perfect portion and I would go back to this place solely for this dish! Overall, we give this place a 3. There were some good dishes, but really inconsistent. We've had better options at other places. If you need to eat and don't have a reservation, come here. It'll do the trick, but won't be your best meal while in Rome.

    Fried calamari and shrimp
    E.l. J.

    Simply delicious! Great price point too! I read the reviews and decided this is where we would get dinner. Started with the bruschetta trio and it was delectable! I got the Rigatoni Carbonara and my brother got some sort of pasta with meat sauce, it was the Special. We had the fried calamari and shrimp too! When the meal was complete, they brought us a shot of Lemoncello. It was very strong! Highly recommend!

    Pasta was undercooked and too salty. Tramisu was too sweet and nothing special. They brought out bread without asking, and then added a $6 charge for it on the bill.

    Lasagna

    It was our last night in Rome, I found this restaurant on Yelp. It was walking distance from our hotel so I decided to give it a try. I requested to sit outside, we were seated quickly. We ordered the lamb and lasagna. The lamb came with rosemary and potatoes, it was tasty. I had a bite of the lasagna, but didn't like it very much. The tiramisu was delicious. The service was good, my server spoke Spanish, so it was nice speaking in Spanish since my Italian is limited.

    The server's attitude was extremely rude, making me feel disrespected and discriminated against.

    After exploring Rome, we were looking for somewhere to relax a bit and enjoy an adult beverage or…read moretwo. Open Baladin was on my list of the most popular bars in Rome on Yelp (in terms of number of reviews) and it was close to where we were at, so we made out way in the afternoon on a Friday. Ambiance (4/5): Open Baladin looks a lot different than your typical Roman establishment. Bright colors, quirky decor, and a beautiful bar area are some of the highlights here. We sat at a table as we wanted to avoid the bar stools (no back support so I've never been a fan). Service (3/5): Typical Italian service. Not terribly attentive or friendly but gets the job done. We had to track down our waiter once or twice to order a beer and close out but that's standard fare in Europe. Food (3/5): My partner in crime had a burger while I had a sandwich with proscuitto and cheese. Pretty much your typical Italian sandwich. Fresh and adequate. Though a bit overpriced. Drinks (4.5/5): This is the highlight. Open Baladin has a fantastic selection of beers including those that I would qualify outside of your typical run-of-the-mill. They have a Belgian beer section of the menu which is always an indication that a bar takes their beer seriously. And most interestingly, for me, they have grape beer . . . say what?! I had never heard of it either. Beer made with grapes, that's a first. While it's not something I would order often, I very much enjoyed trying something new and unique like this. And here I thought grapes were just used to make wine! If you're looking for a cool spot to grab a brew, with a fantastic beer list, and a different vibe than your typical Italian bar, make sure to check them out!

That being said, he wanted to try some beer bars during our time in Italy so we put a few on our agenda to check out. Open Baladin was one of these spots, and since we had some time before our dinner reservation we stopped here for some beer. Walking in, I was really impressed with the space - it's large with a combination of high tops and tables throughout the dining area. The back wall housed the bar which had bottles stacked up to the ceilings - this made for a really striking focal point. The color scheme was mostly dark woods and warm colors which fit well for being a beer bar. The menu had a large selection of beer, I decided to go with one of their holiday varieties which was quite good. They had a small food selection, and I specifically noticed they had a variety of homemade chips. These seemed like the ideal snack so I ordered some of their original variety which came with homemade ketchup. These were great - not greasy and the ketchup really made it something special. Service was good, everyone was friendly and overall we had a great experience at Open Baladin. Even if you're not the biggest beer drinker, there's enough variety to find something for most people, and the food shouldn't be overlooked.
