I went to this restaurant last July while vacationing in Rome. The service was attentive and friendly. The food was incredible. For steak lovers, the steak in pepper sauce is a must try. I think it's probably the best that I've ever eaten. Limoncello is served at the end of the meal. read more

Alessio was the first place we ate in Rome. We really only chose it because it was near our hotel, which was fairly touristy. Because of that, our expectations were quite low. Wow, were we blown away. Some of the very best service and food we had in Rome. Super simple, straight to the point dishes that never failed. The steak and potatoes was simply amazing. Pizza was totally on point: super thin and crispy, vibrant ingredients, tasty sauce. And the pastas we had were really perfect. Try the "Strangled Priest" seafood pasta. Oh, and the lasagna...best I've ever had. The service was especially good. They really know how to help out with the wines and know everything about all the dishes, which is the way it should be. Sometimes you dine at places where the servers haven't even tried everything on the menu; this was definitely not the case. On our 14 day trip to Italy, this was the only restaurant we went to twice. You cannot go wrong here. read more

We had dinner here our first night in Rome and it was the best decision we made. The pastas and pizzas were phenomenal. Service was out of this world. Alessio was the best meal we had in Rome. read more

Don't let the ratings fool you, this place is operated by a bunch of brainless trolls. 1- The so called complimentary bread is not complimentary, so expect a charge on your bill. 2-Only 3 of the 4 entrees was served... Waiter's response "it's an order, that's how we do things in Italy." Btw that 4th pasta didn't come until 58mins after the first 3 dishes. Not only that but the appetizers were served after the entrees. Let's face it , your incompetent workers forgot the order. Not only were they unapologetic they had such a bad attitude. 3- The prosciutto pizza...... Disgusting. Of the 8 slices only 5 of them had cheese on them. I appreciate this restaurant for hiring blind workers. Pass on the pizza... 4- Better call their truffle risotto with mushroom superman.. That's how they got the 1 star from me. Only decent dish. 5-They demanded a tip... Like Gordon Ramsey would say F*** Off read more

Food was really good! I had the grilled beef with vegetables and potatoes and it was sooo good. I also asked the waiter to recommend a red wine to go with it and yes it was perfect. However, when we got to the restaurant and were seated the waiter brought us bread to the table without asking and it turns out that it's not complimentary. I think it was 2€/person and I had the tiniest bite. So that was weird since many restaurants offer a complimentary appetizer or at least let you know if you have to pay for dry piece of bread. The service was OK at best, the waiters were nice enough - we were welcomed to the restaurant but after asking for English menu instead of the one we got they seemed a little bit bored of us. Price is pretty average for Rome and the food IS good so I do recommend it. read more

Location is downstairs just off the street, near Termini station. Outdoor seating is available for approximately 30 people. Has a large menu (in 8 different languages) - pasta, pizza, steak, etc. Has a few vegetarian options and good house white wine. Food was simply OK, not amazing, definitely had better. Coperto is €2 but is not advertised, no servico fee. Waiters are kind and they speak fluent english (and correct your broken Italian). read more

probably the worst pasta since i am in Italy been 3 weeks now it looks better than it taste since i trusted the pictures also people please son't say it's the best restaurant in rome if you just got there on the review it's misleading. They didn't let me open my water bottle so they can charge me for it. the veal scalopini was very chewy, the seafood pasta was tastless and carbonara wasn't that bad. no effort in the mix salad at all. very desapointed for the price i paid i dont mind paying for great food but this was a waste of money i hope some honest reviews will help them i a sincerlt don't know how the got the tripadvisor excellence prize every year is it corrupted? read more

Alessio - looks better than it taste unfortunately 14 euros - Roman Near Me - Rome, RM

Best dinner in Rome! My boyfriend and I enjoyed a half liter of house wine for 6 euro, the steak with potatoes and veggies (zucchini and eggplant), all cooked perfectly, and fettuccini ragu. We then had the strawberry tiramisu which tasted more like strawberry shortcake than tiramisu but still delicious. Very reasonable prices and amazing service!! The waiter was funny and the manager was welcoming and hilarious. They also served free limoncello shots at the end AND they accept American Express. Highly recommend this gem of a ristorante. read more

Was staying in the neighborhood and decided to come here for dinner. There was about a 20 minute wait and we got seated outside. Service was very friendly but was a bit slow. Ordered the following: Bruschetta - very very good. Much better than the place we had before. Grilled Sea Bass - wife ordered this and loved it. Said it was amongst the best fish she's had. Pasta Cacio E Pepe - had heard this was a Rome staple so finally tried it. Really really liked it a lot. Decent size portion and the pasta was very fresh. I think we ended up spending around $38 euro so it wasn't bad at all. Definitely a pretty good place to go. We would definitely return. read more

Pretty good overall. We went based on the reviews we read. The seafood salad and my son's fettuccini with Bacon were big hits. I too was disappointed they charge 4 Euros for bread without even asking if you want it. We def would not of needed or gotten it if we knew. My sons veal again, a hit but my daughters seafood pasta and the pizza were somewhat lacking in flavor. The staff have a very upbeat attitude but they are very busy... Sit outside of you can... Great vibe. read more

We got tricked the first day trying to find some decent Italian food. On the second day, we went on Yelp and found Alessio, which was also close to our hotel. The staff was amazing and so was the food. I ordered... Risotto with Truffles and Porcini mushrooms - this was rich in flavour and so tasty. I wish I could eat this forever. Creme Brulee We also got a comp shot of lemoncello. Our server (as well as all the staff) was very friendly and taught us how to say bruchetta properly. If we ever come back to Rome, we'd definitely be back here. read more

This is a difficult review to write. After a cold and lengthy walk around the streets of Rome, we choose this restaurant based upon Yelp reviews. The service was fairly rapid, the staff welcoming. All good. Quaint cellar setting. But something was wrong with my pasta. Noticeably wrong. Slick with oil and extremely greasy. I didn't wish to be impolite and ate about half the dish. Needless to say a few hours later I was vomiting up my life and had uncontrollable diarrhea. Yeah, second day in Rome. I spent most of the night ion the bathroom floor wishing for death, covered in my own filth. I had eaten nothing prior to this and only began to feel nauseous in the aftermath of this meal. It took me an entire day to recuperate. As I said the staff was welcoming but...I wished for death. read more

Ate here last night because of the strong reviews. The food was great. We had muscles and clams, pasta, risotto and lamb chops. We shared a bottle of Italian rosè. No complaints on the food or atmosphere, coming from two picky and opinionated tourists. The reason for 4 stars is the service left much to be desired. They only came to the table to drop off our meal and didn't give us the dessert menu for 30 minutes while we sat there drink less and ready to go. read more

I found this place from the great review it got on Yelp. My cousin and I decided to try it and it's lived up to our expectations. I got the chicken with pepperoni sauce and it was delicious. I also had fries that were perfect and not too greasy. My cousin got the grilled sea bass and artichoke alle romana and she loved hers as well. The atmosphere is pretty and quiet. They also have amazing bread which is home made. The service is friendly and they don't rush you to finish and leave. Only downside was we were sitting outside close to where people can go out and smoke. So I smelt a lot of cigarette smoke by my spot. Other than that i recommend this spot in Rome! read more

Tucked away down a staircase this little place was very busy so we were glad to have reservations. Our waiter was helpful and encouraging of my attempts to order in Italian, offering nuanced pronunciation tips which was a lot of fun. The mixed bruschetta appetizer was amazing as was the buffalo mozzarella. Had an excellent moscato to accompany my cacio e pepe. My wife had the scampi risotto which was not at all "fishy", had very delicate taste. Finally, the canolli was rich and wonderfully creamy. Best meal we had in Rome. read more

Today is my daughter and I's first day in Rome , and we wanted to have some good Italian food. This restaurant was just a few minutes from our hotel we were staying at, and the reviews were pretty good, so we decided to try it out. When we first arrived, the restaurant was pretty crowded, and one table was ahead of us. After waiting around for 15 minutes, we were lead to our seat and given our menus. Service was quite slow after that. The food around us looked really yummy, and we were eager to order. However, the waiter decided to set tables for nonexistent customers rather than take our order, and we were left waiting for maybe 20 minutes or more. The waiter was very apologetic after that, and our drinks soon arrived, so that helped the mood to improve. After half an hour, our food arrived. It was definitely worth the wait. I ordered a risotto with truffle and porcini mushrooms. They were Delicious. The truffle (a favorite ingredient of mine) stood out, and it wasn't so soft that it was mush, but it wasn't so dense that it was chewy. It had just the right texture for the dish. My daughter ordered a filet steak with green pepper sauce. As I'm a vegetarian, I couldn't have it myself, but from my daughter, it tasted great and was cooked really well. All in all, food is good. Service could use some improvement. I would come back next time when we are in Rome. read more

Alessio is absolutely wonderful!! Be sure to order the house red wine. It was delicious. We were very impressed with the lasagna dish! Also we loved the fried calamari and prawns. The staff was wonderful and the ambiance is cozy and comfortable. There are so many restaurants in Rome that it can be hard to choose from. But I would HIGHLY recommend trying Alessio! Delicious food, great environment. read more

My wife and I were greatly offended as we entered the establishment, amid the cheerful and timely greetings of the wait staff; they had not yet rolled out the red carpet for our arrival. How impertinent! The prawn cream risotto tasted light, fresh and was superbly cooked, but the insolent chef had, by some oversight, forgotten to sprinkle gold dust on top. Absentminded? No, simply imbecilic! My chicken in pepperoni sauce was so juicy that I had to swallow far too many times during the course, and I was left exhausted from the effort. Evidently these Italians simply do not understand the intricacies of my delicate American saliva glands. The staff was so attentive, that one of them even went so far as to take away my unfinished bread plate, the cur! I said, "I shall feed you to my bloodhounds if you should ever deign yourself worthy to take even a crumb from me without my permission!" He just smiled and nodded. I do believe they knew the meal was going terribly for us, what with the lack of gold dust and my over-swallowing. So do you know what they did? They tried to bribe us with free limoncello after our meal. Naturally we were not phased, as our evening had already been irrevocably ruined! I simply cannot recommend a restaurant that forgets red carpets, has overly attentive staff, and seeks to bribe the goodwill of its patrons with meek digestifs. The night left me drained, and my wife and I retired to our Villa in the hills a shadow of our former selves. read more

Very tiny little gem. We were able to enjoy dinner outside. Very warm, but overall great service and enjoyed everything that we ordered.

Couldn't get a reservation on our first night in Rome but ended up getting to Alessio. Appys included Jewish style artichoke (fried) which was delicious. Also had the fried zucchini blossom which was ok. Batter was that of a Tempura from a Japanese restaurant. For mains, We had the spinach and ricotta Ravioli and the rigatoni carbonara. Both dishes were ok, and the pasta was extremely al dente (and we prefer a nice al dente pasta) but this was bordering on the undercooked side, especially for the rigatoni. Flavor was good but there are many other places in Rome to go. Service was nice and welcoming. read more

They were very pleasant and accommodating. If you don't speak Italian, they spoke fluent English (and Brazilian and Japanese and Spanish and Russian, ok maybe just a little). Nonetheless, it was a pleasant experience for me. I ordered the ribeye (which everyone else did) and half a carafe of the house red. Both were good. Complementary to each other. The steak is thin cut so if you usually go for medium rare, I would go rare on this occasion. The finishing salt made it a bit salty but if you drink enough wine (wink wink), it's all good. I ended my meal with Trippa a la Romana. Yes an appetizer not dessert. Don't judge me! It was good as well. I prefer to have my tripe a bit more al dente and the sauce more thick but that's just my preference. All in all it was a good dining experience and the waiter, I believe his name was Frederico, even made it better. Grazie! read more

Suggested by our Hotel's concierge for our first night in Rome, and it was a very warm welcome to Italy. The Nostra Margherita Pizza was very good and the Bucatini all' Amatriciana was delicious. It's great food for the price, and the staff was very friendly. read more

Alessio has good food and a nice atmosphere. Took some time to get seated since it is steps away from Termini station and quite popular among the cruise ship crowd. Wound up having a nice conversation with some of the other diners. Steak is not the best thing to order in Italy but the steak here is pretty good. Best of all were the complimentary limoncello shots served along with the bill. Nice touch. read more

I had reservations with a group of 12. The waiter shared specials. One was this pesto spaghetti. Another was a baked bass with potatoes. The pesto spaghetti was not on the menu. The baked bass was on the menu for 18 Euros. He brought out the cooked bass as shown in the photo. Then he took it back in the kitchen and plated it on two plates. When we got the check we discovered we had been charged 65 Euros each for the bass. When inquired about the price difference he said the bass I ordered was not on the menu. When I pointed out that it was on the menu, he said the bass I ordered was bigger. He brought out a smaller fish to show me the difference. The smaller fish was about half a size smaller. So I guess that justified the cost of over triple. 18 Euros compared to 65 Euros. The food was delicious but the pricing and charging is unscrupulous. They also gave my group limoncello at the end of our meal. I don't drink so this was of no benefit to means others in my group who don't drink. read more

Great fresh cooked Italian menu with a staff who is equally as nice. We each ordered something different from the menu (mushroom risotto, spinach ravioli, carbonarra pasta and lasagna) all had fresh flavor and were enjoyed. The service staff extremely generous and made the meal that much more enjoyable. I definitely recommend you to check this place out for a great authentic Italian meal and experience read more

This restaurant have really bad service. The waiters were very rude, either because they have strong racial discrimination (as I am an Asian from the US) or they have poor level of professionalism. The owner also has biased opinions on Asians, as he said Asian people ate fast and don't need the sauces for that long. And food was just okay, not as good as some of the reviews. The seafood wasn't clean and the spaghetti was too oily. read more

The waiter was extremely helpful and friendly! The food was good but my favorite was the dessert. I was by myself and I asked the waiter if I could get half of a tiramisu and he did! For half the price! I got the spaghetti with clams for dinner and after dinner the waiter brought me a shot of limoncello! The waiter brought me another shot complimentary as well! The restaurant is very small and cozy and the wait staff is very friendly and helpful. Overall good with reasonable prices and I would go again. read more
