The Boss and I spent the day walking Rome and taking in the sights and by the time we were ready to dine, we were done with the heat, the noise and the hustle of the city. We wanted a quiet dinner and Alessio Ristorante delivered. We were drawn in by the sunken dining area, as though transported to a cool, quiet yet cozy dining room away from the city. We were seated and brought bread and water and given space to decide on drinks. When communicating our drink choices, we were informed of the evening dinner special and decided to take them up on the offer. We started our meal with a ricotta and basil ravioli with a rich, fresh tomato sauce and followed it with the catch of the day, a beautiful sea bass. As we sipped our drinks, The Boss a Bellini, me a Hugo Spritz, we were presented with the whole baked sea bass to view and approve. It was then whisked away and plated with sliced, braised potatoes and cherry tomatoes with rosemary and onion. By far, the bass was the freshest most flavorful, moist fish I have ever consumed. As though it brought the Mediterranean Sea with it to the table. When finished, we enjoyed a limoncello apéritif, and left happy, full and feeling as though we had really experienced an authentic Italian meal. Grazie mille, Alessio. Eccellente.

Fantastic and no tourists. Food was flavorful and very reasonably provided. We enjoyed this last minute find. Delicious menu

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!

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

Percy N.

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.

Tony A.

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....

Olga R.

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

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.

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.

We were in Rome for 4 days and we came here twice. I absolutely loved it as soon as you walk in the owner makes you feel like you are family the first time it was really busy and we got sat within the first 15min in the patio we didn't realize how big the restaurant was. The staff was extremely friendly even when you could see they were clearly busy. The second time the waiters and the owner quickly recognized us and greeted us as if we were locals. I also must add this restaurant has both locals and tourist which I really liked. The food was great I recommend the deep fried artichoke I forgot the name on the menu but it was really good. If you are going to try any restaurant I suggest this one. Again thank you for the amazing experience! read more

Amazing food we ran right into the little Place, which is actually quite spacious once inside. We looked at some Yelp reviews previously and decided to give it a try. The service was great and the bread was actually optional (which normally you are charged for a cover, which includes the price of bread even if you don't eat it) so it was nice having the option. We true the prawn risotto which was INSANE, and shared the Veal Saltimbocca which was also delicious, but had a strong flavor of wine. Delish but very strong. Topped off the dinner with an on the house shot of limoncello! Would 100% recommend. For water, bread, both entrees, and a salad we spent about 36 euros, and had an AMAZING meal. read more

The reviews that talk about it being "touristy" have a point, but I think this is what you get in this part of town so you might as well enjoy it. Personally I think there is a lot to enjoy. The service is very good, waiters are friendly, atteand speak English. The table was inside which I enjoyed because the décor was pleasant. The food was definitely of good quality, for the price especially, out of site better than what some other "touristy" places offer. The Tiramisu was a delight. I just wish I had tried the strawberry.

Top faves were the seafood pasta and the penne arrabbiata. Also really loved their bruschetta al pomodoro, which we gobbled up like we've never eaten before. The salads...excellent, as well as the wine. Also, they give you free limoncello shots after dinner. I mean, who doesn't like that? Especially when you're in Rome.

I choose this restaurant for my first dinner with my mum in Rome only because it ranks first on a recommending list for its tasty food and reasonable price. It turned out that my choice was a brilliant one. Lots of people on yelp have recommended their pasta and pizza. But I would say that their RISOTTO will simply beat all the other opponents. It is not to say that their other dishes are not good. My mum ordered a spaghetti with seafood. The spaghetti seemed to be fresh and homemade and it tasted really good as an traditional Italian dish. However, my mum and I both agreed that their risotto with truffles and mushroom tasted even more delicious! I didn't even imagine I can pay only 12 euro for a risotto like this! If you like risotto please do not miss this one. You deserve it. I myself am now planning to go there again tomorrow to try their other risotto. read more

I found this restaurant last year on a trip to Rome, my wife and I enjoyed the food so much we actually came back several days later for another dinner, we were so blown away by the quality of the food, the taste, the atmosphere, everything. Absolutely excellent. Anyway, I was back in Rome again this week and decided to take a taxi over to Alessio, this time, instead of a romantic dinner for two, we were with 4 other family members. We were seated promptly, ordered a mix of appetizers and 2 liters of the house wine, and waited excitedly for our main dinner. Dinner was phenomenal and just as we remembered with the quality being so excellent. Overall if you are anywhere in Rome, come to Alessio, this place is fantastic and in a city known for it's delicious food, this restaurant stands out. Can't wait for my next trip to Italy to come back to this gem. read more

I've been looking for a really good restaurant in Rome and finally found one. There is a long queue of people waiting to be seated but the staff made sure we were happy by giving each customer a glass of prosseco wine while we waited. My husband and I didn't have to wait long till we were seated. They give you fresh bread for the table unlike other restaurants that have stale bread. The food was tasty and the pasta with clams I had was fresh and delicious. At the end of the meal, they give you some alcoholic drink with vodka in a little shotglass.

Just because it caters mostly to tourists doesn't mean it's not a good restaurant. On the contrary, I enjoyed the fettuccini with meat sauce and my partner deemed the lasagna delicious. The wine list is also both extensive and affordable. The only downside is that the bright lighting detracts from the ambiance, which could have been more romantic with warmer and lower-wattage bulbs. read more

Found out later that reservations are generally used so highly suggest if you want a cute outside table to do so. Anyway. Aperol spritz was lovely! Ordered the bruschetta with fresh tomatoes and the other with prosciutto and mozzarella cheese.... Again, lovely. Ordered the pasta carbonara which was one of the best I've had while in Rome. Perfect al dente pasta with a rich sauce. Hubby had the Diablo pizza which was delicious and had a crispy crust. Plenty of meat toppings. Very happy indeed. I'd suggest a stop in! Oh and price wise..... including a litre of beer (no judging lol) everything came to €88 which for the area I think was fair.

The real VIP dish of the night was the tiramisu. I don't eat tiramisu as I've never had a good one. Our waiter Alex assembled the tiramisu table side. Honestly, it really didn't need the hype. With fresh mascarpone,espresso and cacao flakes, it really was a great tasting dessert AND we hope to get back there one last time before we leave. Yes it was that good! We were able to get seated quickly as we got there around 6:30-7pm. Most people started filing in after that. A gentleman started playing music on an accordion and then a drummer met him. He does play for tips. It was a nice touch. A man with huge long stemmed red roses began working the crowd too. I'd say this would be considered fine dining. C'iao!

It is…read morequite close to the Trevi Fountain so I don't recommend eating outside as there will be lots of people walking around. Inside, the atmosphere is nice and warm. The service is so friendly and very fast. It was the only restaurant that gave us bread and a little dessert as part of the service. I ordered the cacio e pepe and the carbonara because I could not make up my mind and both were delicious. Both dishes I would recommend. Portions are a bit bigger than other places I had tried during my trip but the pasta is just different in Italy. It does not make you bloated.

The issue I had was that I was in a super heavy tourist area and all of the restaurants we were walking past had people outside trying to lure us in. I wanted to avoid places like that, however via Yelp I discovered Il Chianti a short walk away. While still I assumed still touristy, the reviews were great and as we approached they weren't trying to lure us in, so we decided to try them out. I take this place is very popular since I noticed a sign instructing diners for form a line as we walked up to the restaurant. However, there was no line to be found and we were seated right away. Curb appeal is lovely, they have a decently-sized outdoor seating area though we opted to sit inside. The interior is a good size and compartmentalized into different rooms. The aesthetics are mostly classic with medium to dark wood tones. The menu contained some Tuscan dishes but also several that were more common outside of the region. We decided to start with two of their apps - a cheese plate and bread with fatty prosciutto, pistachio, and honey. The cheese plate was great, I love cheese and this one delivered - there was a good variety and the plate was paired with a few complements. The bread was great - the combination of the fatty prosciutto with the honey and nuts made for a great experience. There was a small salad in the center of the dish which was a welcome reprieve from the heaviness of the app. For my main I decided to get pasta - the paccheri with tomato sauce and burrata was speaking to me. The dish was great - pasta was cooked well and all of the components were super fresh. I've tried burrata in may settings but rarely in a pasta dish - it worked well and now I'll be seeking it out more often. Service was good - everyone was very friendly and there was a good pace to the rate our dishes came out. Overall, we had a great experience at Il Chianti - in a sea of touristy spots by the Trevi, this stands out as a noteworthy option for a good meal.

A friend came here and recommended. Not sure where to start? The food or the service?!? The service was Top Notch from beginning to end. Recommendations from the sommelier, a very reasonable priced bottle of wine. Absolutely spot on and delicious!!! Okay..our server?!? He actually steered us away from a $65.00 steak for 3 to share between the three of us to the beautiful Tomahawk steak for 2 that was perfect after the three of us ordered, Bruschetta (w tomatoes and chorizo (pic shown) and 3 pasta dishes. Yum!! Seafood primo was the best by far. Did not care for the pepper and cheese pasta dish. Personal taste is all. PANNA COTTA!!! To die for!!! Leave the creme brûlée for a trip to France. We have talked about the Panna Cotta all darn day!! If we could give more stars we would!! It was a wonderful evening!! Atmosphere was perfect as well. AC, quaint, soft decor. Loved it!! Ps. Almost forget the delicious Lemincello!! Perfectly sweet. Courtesy with your check and most delicious too!! read more

I wish I could give this place less than 1 star. Mediocre food AT BEST. But, the horrible service is what really got to me and my family. Federico, our server, was extremely sexist towards me and my mother. Upon our seating at the table, he proceeded to list the specials for the night. They sounded delicious, but the server looked directly at me and my mother and said "the lamb or the steak is not for women because they cannot handle it." I still proceeded to order the lamb, but Federico looked at my father and said, "you can have it but she shouldn't. It's a manly meal." He also rudely corrected me about the pronunciation of "bruschetta," and I was insulted by his patronizing attitude. Overall, I can't wrap my head around why this place has good reviews. NEVER EAT AT ALESSIO! read more
