Stopped in for light lunch (appetizers) and spent a lot more than expected. The food was quite good and the decor is great. Shared pickled vegetables and had a beer and cocktail. They also provided bread and olives which were great. Nice place. Good food and service. We understood that it was going to be pricey so close to Trevi fountain, but even at that it was definitely on the high end of the many great and more reasonably priced restaurants that are all over the city. read more

This place is located in the heart of Rome. You can actually hear the Trevi Fountain nearby! Very upscale and it obviously panders to tourists, but overall, a good experience. The food is good, and the service is excellent- my main critiques are: 1) There are so many better restaurants in Rome, that are a quarter of the price. 2) Where was the fresh pasta?? I guess they think everyone else has it, so why bother? However, for our last night in Rome, it was a good treat. We enjoyed the ambiance and the food. read more

Awful service. We were ignored! Nice outdoor area but don't go here!! We tried to pay and they were super slow with that too.

Avoid this restaurant. We had 6 people and they sat us at 2 separate tables even though they had a table for 6 on the other side of the restaurant. We were charged separately. Service was poor, slow and some of the items we asked for like wine never came. We were charged for things that never came. I had the pasta with lobster which was tasteless. Plates are small and overly priced for your portion. read more

This touristy restauant has a lot of 'atmosphere'. Service was ok, good even, but there was not a lot of smiling, suggestion offering, banter. Just 'what can I get for you?' neat and tidy. The bread appears to be made in house. The menu has decidedly 'unItalian' options if you are up for something else as well as standard fare. The house made cornedbeef doesn't taste or look like the stuff you eat on St. Paddy's day, but it is a lean and mild tasting, HUGE sandwich. We shared a cheese board which was a nice nosh although the staff did not tell us what cheeses were presented as is usual in a finer dining establishment. Food, service and ambiance were good. Just know it comes at a price. We all have choices to make on vacation. Here's another one. read more

Located in one of the most touristy areas in Rome, Baccano probably costs more than the average meal. But food is good, drinks are good and service is good so there's not much more you can ask for. Sick of pasta and pizza, we shared the tuna tataki (EUR23) and meat and cheese platter (EUR25). The tuna meat was thick and cooked just right while the cold cuts were thinly sliced to perfection. Part of the cheese platter, the blue cheese was some of the best I've ever had. My bf confirmed that the red wine here was the best he tasted in Rome. Yes we probably got ripped off here but there are worse places to waste your money. And as a tourist, I have to say we wasted quite a bit of money on bad food in Rome. read more

Not the same place it was years ago. They put bread down on your table even though the menu says 3$ pp for bread. Don't ask don't say anything. I had 1 piece it was taken away. We were charged 6$ for 2 ppl. Even though it was never ordered. Based on past reviews I guess this is the norm. Even if you don't order it, it will come to your table. This place is over run by tourists so there is no charm left. The waiters are run down and don't suggest or offer anything. Portions are tiny and prices are high. My sea bass was really good just tiny. Pasta, seabass and a bottle of wine for 70 euro. No apps no desert. Not worth it for the price and terrible service... read more

I have a feeling the only people giving this restaurant high marks are tourists because there's no way any one who has a real grasp of Italian food would give this place more than 3 stars or even try to argue that this food is anything more than average!! Like all eating establishments near tourist sites, the food is sub par, the price is inflated, and the place is always crowded...with tourists. The homemade pasta noodles are surprisingly delish, the presentation is beautiful, the bread basket is yummy, and the ambiance is inviting. I wish there was more "sex" I could tell you about, but unfortunately the rest of the meal was mostly forgettable. The ossobuco was drowning in a thick, almost too salty brown gravy that tasted like it had been made from a mix and/or sitting there all day. And given that or food came out less than 10 min after we ordered, I wouldn't be surprised. The spaghetti sauce was entirely to sweet and quite frankly, toasted like canned Chef Boyardee (sp?). The octopus salad, which I was very much looking forward to, was very unappetizing. While I'm sure there are items on their menu that don't disappoint, unfortunately I did not have the pleasure of sampling them during my visit and given my experience, I probably won't return. read more

My favorite restaurant in Rome so far. More space than most - there are so many restaurants in Rome, it's crazy. Higher end and little pricier than most, but not by far. Loved it for the great atmosphere and service. read more

Located smack in the middle of a touristy area in Rome, Baccano serves some pricey yet well prepared dishes. We stopped in for a holiday meal when many other restaurants were closed for the night. The restaurant features indoor and outdoor seating. Inside, the decor is very professional and would not look out of place at a high end American chain restaurant. Our table skipped the antipasti and started with a bottle of montepulciano. Their wine list is extensive, with many Italian wines that are affordable as well as a few quite expensive and rare bottles. Bread was served complementary and came with a very good cold pressed evoo. For my entree, I stuck with the Roman classic of cacio e pepe. Every time I have tried this dish, it has been with a slightly different preparation despite how ultimately simple it is. The version here featured pasta that was cooked longer than I expected, with a much cheesier, wet taste. It was essentially mac and cheese with spaghetti noodles. My wife tried the lasagna, which looked, and according to her, tasted delicious. Our service throughout the meal was excellent and attentive. While the service was great and the food fairly good, I was not happy when our bill arrived with a previously unadvertised service charge of €8. It is becoming a common practice for restaurants to charge visitors in Rome such a fee, which I find unacceptable. Either include service in the price of each item as stated, or allow your customer to tip. read more

What a lovely experience! We didn't have a reservation but they made room for us to dine. We had terrific service and the food was absolutely delicious. The burrata with fried artichoke appetizer was a huge hit even with our 7 year old. Spaghetti, lasagna were perfect and classic but the fettuccine with white truffles was really the show stopper. The flavor was rich, balanced and perfect for a cold winter night. Our waiter helped substantially with recommendations based on pasta density and richness of the dish as well as wine selections. I don't really care if they charge for bread automatically but I can see that being a problem for others. A can't miss for a traditional upscale Italian dinner read more

Best food I had during my stay in Rome (6 days). Cosy atmosphere with friendly staff and great wine/food. I would recommend this for both couples and families with kids. If you are having the beef id recommend the Südtirol Alto Adige Lagrein Riserva 2012 from Kellerei St. Magdalena. Great fruity wine with rich taste that doesn't cost a fortune. read more

This place is great. No wait at all to get seated and very nice. Has a brasserie-feel. I will say that you should not visit this spot if you're in a rush. We were not, so it wasn't a big deal, but a multi-hour dinner wasn't what we had in mind. Either way, it was nice for us to slow down the pace for our last day in Rome. Also, the manager voluntarily deducted 10 euros from the bill because they felt the wait was far too long. Now, the food. The food was GREAT! We started with veal and buratta over toast. GET IT. For the 2nd part of the meal, I had told my husband I wanted shaved truffles over pasta. They did not disappoint. That accompanied with a carbonara was amazing. Treat yourself to enjoy a slowly paced but delicious meal here. read more

One of my favorites in Rome! While this restaurant is typically dominated by tourists (both wandering through the area and eating here) the staff has always been friendly and accommodating. The head server recommended a delicious bottle of white wine for my family that we all loved! The food is delicious as well; the bolognese and lasagnas are a must to try. The carbonara is also delicious, but very salty (I love salty food so I scarfed this down in like 3 second). read more

Amazing food with even better service. I highly recommend the Carbonara and the tiramisu that they make right at your table. The wine was fantastic too. Eduardo provided us with amazing service. I would highly recommend! read more

Coming here was a mistake. Not because of the food, not that the food was great, it was mediocre, but not bad. The service was poor. The first thing you notice is that lots of tables are prepared with silverware and glasses etc. But we were seated at a table that was completely bare. Then we were handed one menu to share between us. That was weird. When I asked for a second menu, the waiter obliged. They brought a bread basket and had olive oil on the table. I asked for basaltic vinegar and the waiter obliged again. A couple minutes later they take the basaltic vinegar away and we never see it again. Meanwhile an Italian couple is seated at set table next to us and they were handed 2 menus, basaltic vinegar and offered wine. Maybe it's a better experience for Italians than Americans. Here's a tip: The water in the RR sink is activated by a foot pedal. read more

I can't believe this place only averages 3.5 stars - there is so much to like about it. To start, it is located 100 metres from the Trevi Fountain so makes a great place to drop into after a night visit; the dining room is spectacular - it felt really elegant and sophisticated and just a little bit fancy; the staff are bi-lingual and super attentive; and of course the food is fantastic. I had the cacio e pepe, which was wonderfully prepared and presented, and a delight to eat. Wine was very affordable, even by the glass. read more

First meal in Rome after a week in Florence and Venice -- couldn't have been more disappointed. Bread service and drinks were great, but 3 of our 4 entrees were almost inedible. Over salted and bad flavor. The gnocchi might have been the worst of the bunch. Maybe it should be called "gnocchi" with quotation marks, because it wasn't traditional in the slightest and tasted awful. The restaurant seemed to get busy either. Being so close to the Trevi, I'm sure they get a fair amount of business, but I don't you'll ever find the locals eating here. read more

A treat to us on our frugal trip to Rome! We're both foodie, my partner is a trained chef so quite fussy! The waiting staff were attentive. Burrata to start was perfect, a great cheese done justice. I had the pasta with anchovy oil and mozzarella - so good!! Salty with the tomatoes cutting trough the salt. Then we just had to have the tiramisu, it again was so good! My partner had the carbonara which was very tasty. All of this with a water, coke and bread pp was 64 euros. read more

Very disappointed with my visit to Baccano. After two days of fantastic Rome restaurants and wonderful service, we ended here with dessert. The food was good - tiramisu and cookies, however it was pricy. We spent €25 for tiramisu (non-traditional, more of a pudding than a cake), a small plate of cookies, a tea and a cappuccino. The service left something to be desired. We waited 20 minutes for desserts which were clearly not freshly made and we were ignored multiple times when we asked for the check. Worst of all, a server was fixing something at the bar and sprayed a stream of water all over our the floor, our table, our phones, and me. Two waiters watched it happen and no one apologized or gave us a towel or napkins. If this had been the first restaurant of the trip, I would have thought it was because we were Americans. But at every other restaurant, we had A+ friendly service, so it wasn't that! I would not go back. Plenty of other amazing places to visit. Avoid Baccano! read more

The food was pretty good! Same with the beer and wine. The only thing that really bugged us (and those around us) was the fact that they brought out bread when we first sat down and then charged us 6 euro for it. Others around us complained only to be told that they worked really hard on the bread the night before. No refund, no further explanation. Other places have better food and better service, so I'm not too upset over it. read more

French Bistro feel with 50:50 tourist:local business lunchers. House made pasta: carbonara rigatoni was perfect al dente with creamy cheesy goodness. Octopus salad was a little bland but alright, large bowl of greens were not dressed and was given a bottle of olive oil, salt and pepper grinders. For 18€ I would expect some kind of special dressing. Understanding of English is somewhat limited.by staff but they try. read more

This review is solely for the drinks and service!! My boyfriend and I ended up in here because we needed to use the bathroom (lol) and upon walking out, we noticed how nice the bar looked so decided to stay for a drink and boy are we glad we did!! The drinks were super good and made perfectly!! Sitting at the bar, we were able to see the bartenders making other customers drinks & they all looked amazing!! We began chatting with the bar manager Valerie, she is soooo sweet and on top of everything in her restaurant!! She began sharing great knowledge about Italian liquor which was incredible to learn! We didn't order any food because the prices were pretty high but the food did look amazing! read more

This is what fine dining should be about - a thoughtful menu with dishes executed simply and brilliantly. At first glance the choices can be daunting - aperitifs, wines, cocktails and beers alone occupy an entire page. Don't think too hard, chances are you'll be sipping your way down the list. In keeping with Roman love for Campari I highly recommend the ladies kick off with the Trevi Passion. For an Italian restaurant Baccano's dinner menu does challenge the typical bistro offer, as if it has taken a view that selected fish, shellfish, fine meats, and cheeses have in themselves enough character to be savored independent of bread, dough and distracting sauces. Simplicity is celebrated here. Order the squid ink tagliolini, wild chicory side and Italian cheese selection to see what I mean. Flavor explosion ahead. If you're fortunate to be seated outside, sit a while longer and enjoy the gushing sounds of the Trevi Fountain just around the corner. read more

It's located close to several tourist hot-spots, yet far enough away that you don't get completely ripped off. The food is amazing (very high quality). I highly recommend the braised cheek beef. The staff was very friendly and the service was amazing. There seems to be a trend among Italian wait staff to leave you alone unless you need something which I really appreciate. It's very easy to get their attention (in which case they come right over) but otherwise they leave you alone to enjoy your meal without interruptions. We elected to sit inside but they offer both indoor and outdoor seating. read more

Extensive menu and food was great. Nice big dining room and bar and lots of fresh selections.

STAY FAR AWAY...CANNED FOOD My boyfriend and I have been in Italy for 10 days and have only had amazing meals so far because we have high expectations and always do extensive research. It's all about amazing food for us. Why spend all this money to come to Italy if you aren't going to have spectacular meals? Anyways...tonight our plan was to go to Ristorante Angelina, which is supposed to be great. Unfortunately Angelina had no tables left so we asked them to recommend a comparable restaurant. They recommended Baccano. I have zero clue why...sort of embarrassing on their part. I'm hoping it's just because it was late at night and they thought Baccano would be the only place open with tables. Seeing as Baccano is right near the Trevi Fountain, I should have known it would be a cheesy tourist trap. It was after 10 pm and we were starving so we decided to take the risk and eat at Baccano. Absolutely everything about this place was a joke. See below: 1. The decor of the restaurant is trying to look like a French bistro when it's supposedly an Italian restaurant...weird. The menu had BOTH Italian and French food on it with a mix of American food. BAD SIGN PEOPLE. Specialize in one type of cuisine and do it well. The menu was also huge which is a bad sign. 2. The restaurant was huge and filled with Americans and zero Italians which means mass production and low standards... 3. THE WINE: Most restaurants I eat at are happy to help me choose a wine, so I asked the waiter if a particular wine on the menu is good. He blindly said "yes?" as if he didn't even care to help or give me his true opinion. The wine came and he just started pouring the wine fully without letting me try it first. This is rare... The wine tasted like actual vinegar. What the hell man? This is Italy. There are so many inexpensive wines readily available that are very good. 4. THE FOOD: We ordered a Caesar salad to start. I asked the waiter if we could order it with no chicken and he said "not possible" so I just let that slide. This clearly means that the salad is pre-made if they can't even offer it without chicken. When the salad came, it was completely soggy as if it had been sitting around all day, and the salad dressing tasted like a no name bottled dressing. What a joke. How do you mess up such a simple salad? I could get a better salad at an unimpressive chain restaurant. The salad tasted like something you would be forced to eat at a really sad cafeteria if you were extremely desperate. Next - the pastas. THE SAUCE WAS DEFINITELY CANNED. I'm an Italian food snob and admit that there are some decent higher end jarred sauces out there. This restaurant clearly opted for a 99 cent canned sauce. I was disturbed. Also, my pasta tasted like the cheap boxed Barilla brand pasta you get at a supermarket. Why?! Either make the pasta home made or use a higher quality dried pasta. Not hard to do... 5. The price: For one glass of vinegar wine, a soggy cafeteria salad, and two canned pastas the bill came out to 65 euros. We are from Canada so this is over $100 in our money, which is a lot to basically eat cafeteria food. I'm not cheap either, I have happily spent triple that for a good meal. My advice: STAY FAR AWAY. Please go have the best Italian meal of your life at Roscioli. Sorpasso near the Vatican is also amazing as well as Prosciutteria. Also some great spots in Trastevere and Monti. My advice is that it's pointless to even bother with restaurants near major tourist attractions because the volume of people in the area is so high that these restaurants can basically serve dog food and get away with it. What's the point of coming to Europe to eat terrible food that isn't even authentic? I don't understand how the average review for this place is 4 stars? APPALLED. read more

Don't let the location near the Trevi fool you. This is no tourist trap. Real cuisine and cocktails. Bartenders Alessio and Mario took care of us and crafted us exceptional cocktails.

We discovered several new favorite cocktails, including Alessio's Ascension, that were amazing and memorable. read more
