OOOOh! Barzilai was an unexpected gem. This looks like mostly a wine bar, but we wanted some food after traveling from Naples. The resaturant is beautiful and has this Italian charm that is really nice. I ordered a spicy pasta and my hubs got the saltombocca - Both were really good. The waiter helped us figure out which wine went with our dishes, so that was really nice as well. I really enjoyed this spot. read more

We stopped here to do aperitivo before dinner and to enjoy some drinks around Rome. It was in a cool neighborhood and seemed popular enough. The cocktails were good. Aperol and hugo spritzes were a hit. read more

Our new favorite restaurant in Rome! This is the type of family-owned restaurant that you dream of finding! We stumbled on this place while looking for lunch. We were greeted by the son and soon met "momma" and his old man. What a great family! All of the food was amazing, but the stars were the Pumpkin Ravioli and the Amatriciana. And don't miss out on dessert - especially Mamma's marmalade crostada. It was so good we came back on the last day of our trip. They remembered us and greeted us as family. read more

This restaurant was recommended by our hotel concierge for its proximity to the Roman Colosseum; its fresh, tasty authentic regional cuisine; friendliness, and reasonable price point. It scored on all counts! My companion & I shared a delicious bottle of Amarone with a little bag of crusty, fresh bread. Our meal of fresh, Al dente pasta, smokey tomato sauce, zucchini and black olive powder went beautifully with the meatball dish. We finished with decaf coffee drinks and a creamy tiramisu. Every member of the staff was friendly and helpful in suggesting menu selections. High recommendations. read more

First time in the Colosseum area and we were roaming for food in the evening. Knew we wanted to find something further out from the tourist zone and started making our way toward a spot called Le Tavernelle because their seafood looked great. Turned out it was a real busy time for them so we decided on Barzilai next door and the four of us were sat immediately. 4/5 for service 3.9/5 for food 4/5 for ambiance Sat outside for the full bistro feel, plus the interior of the restaurant was super warm for our mid October visit. Service was punctual and helpful (by this time on the trip, we were accustomed to the cursory inconvenient expressions because of our language barrier, but it typically melted away shortly afterwards). The individual who appeared to be the man in charge was helpful in suggesting a wine for us, and after asking "do you trust me," we were relieved he hadn't selected an obscenely priced bottle for the non-Italian speaking tourists. He was kind enough to offer some off menu modifications, like an additional side of basic pasta to accompany the meatball entree, based on our questions about the menu. We ordered a ham and buffalo mozzarella, and a cold eggplant parmigiana for appetizers (bread in paper bag had to be refilled/requested 3x because we were starving, I think it cost $2 euro extra each after the first - see receipt), two meatball entrees (with two accompanying sides of basic pasta noodles and red sauce, additional charge), amatriciana pasta, and branzino pasta with golden tomatoes (the fish was already flaked and tossed with the pasta and tomatoes) for four adults. Oh and two bottles of wine and we forgot to ask for "tap" water so we got the aqua charge. Tasty water though haha :) We were very full as you can imagine and the damage wasn't too bad on the wallet. Yes, we did leave a tip! For a final meal in Rome, it left us wanting, but the ambiance, interactions, and experience were well worth the stop. One of the risks when you wander with no set plans, but we left with some good memories. Just wish I caught a picture of the cute set up with the twinkly lights and intimate table setting. read more

This review is for the food. It seems like a good spot to chill with a glass of wine. But the pasta was not good. The spaghetti carbonara I ordered was gummy and the meat was so salty and hard I couldn't finish it. I think this is more of a place to get a drink rather than a dinner spot. read more

Grabbed lunch here on our first day in Rome. My husband and I shared a pasta dish and the meat and cheese platter. The pasta was fine, but the meat and cheese platter was large and delish! We also grabbed a few glasses of wine. Service was kind. No complaints! read more

it's fun for drinks and they serve traditional but mostly hipster food like tacos, bacalao smeared with creamy dip. it's a fun environment especially outdoor and it gets busy quickly. I felt rushed to clear the table for the next party but that's fine. great location for bar hopping. read more

This place is great! The food was fresh, and the waiter made some amazing recommendations. The service was excellent, from the waiter to the kitchen staff, everyone was welcoming, professional, and made the dinner a wonderful experience. This definitely has a smaller, more local ambiance compared to some of the tourist traps in Rome, I would highly recommend and will be coming back for another meal on my next visit to Rome! read more

Authentic Italian restaurant with lively atmosphere and exceptional food. The anti pasta plate was awesome as well as the house red wine. They also have a good selection of Italian beers. Seems to be popular with the local residents so it must be good! Definately try it. Service is great too! read more

I came here for a dinner while traveling solo, and this place was great - not too loud or crowded and is great for someone who is solo, dining with one other person or up to a group of 6. The place is not huge, so I don't think 8+ people would be able to fit in here with the way the tables are set up, but you may want to call ahead so they can rearrange things if this is your case. I got a salad, along with a pasta, but I could have ordered just a salad, or just a pasta and that would have been enough food. The portions here are quite large, but I was dining solo and wanted to be able to have some salad or something healthy to balance out all the pasta I had eaten all week in Italy. The salad that I had was delicious and had a lot of tuna, artichokes, and came with tomatoes. It was similar to a French Nicoise salad, and it was one of the better salads I had in Italy, and I would get this again, and recommend it if you're looking for something healthier to eat. The Amatriciana pasta (9€) was really good; I never had a bad plate of Amatriciana pasta in Rome and this was no exception. The pasta was al dente, the pork cheek (bacon) was crispy and flavorful, and the portion was a good size. I'd get this again. They also have a few specials on the back wall written in chalk that I failed to see until after I had ordered. The service was a bit on the slower side, with a lot of the servers just chatting amongst themselves, but I lived in France for 2 years, so I was used slow service and I wasn't in a hurry. Overall, if I come back to this area again and need somewhere to eat, I'd come back here for good portions, good food, and reasonable prices. read more

This place was amazing. I the swordfish starter, cacio pepe with pears and the tiramisu. Each bite was phenomena.

Hands down one of my favourite spots in town. I'm a Roman who lived most of her life abroad and this place is the perfect combination of tradition and innovation. Lovely decor, friendly helpful staff, impeccable host make it a trendy, yet laid back place to grab a drink or spend the entire evening. Fresh, tasty food prepared with high quality ingredients, old recipes with a twist and solid wine list, make it the right place for dinner or a delicious snack. I keep coming back! read more

We were in Rome for 4 days. Brazilia was down the street from our AirBnb. We ate here our first night have to say it was the best meal we had in Rome. The atmosphere is great. Fabrizio and Julio provided the best service. We had the fillet special with a side of spinach and the Carbonara. Honestly the best steak I had in Rome. I had steak at other places in Italy. It was not so good. We had to go back a second time to bring some other friends. The fillet was not on the menu, but they made it for us. It was as good as the first time. If you get a chance come by and enjoy the food. read more

This place is simply amazing! Great food and friendly staff. Well priced. Definitely recommend this place and will be back there again!

Happened across this place one morning and so glad I stopped to gaze upon the yummy looking tart in the window. It tasted better than it looked. So good in fact that I tried a slice of the other tart on offer that morning. This little piggy was happy. The cappuccino was good. Staff was friendly and service was great. They totally made my day (insert happy face). read more

So far this seemed like the most authentic and genuine bar/restaurant in our short stay in Rome. We walked past the place during the "dinner-rush hour" and so we decided to go elsewhere for dinner and come back for a glass of wine and dessert later. We immediately regretted not eating the whole meal there, as the place as a whole was great. The staff was very friendly in a genuine way, and the entire atmosphere was really nice. The decor is timely and reminded us of the Scandinavian standards, which is meant as a sincere compliment. The tiramisu was very creamy, which we liked a lot. read more

A member of our party asked if the pasta was made fresh, the waiter said 'you insult my mother!' I thought it was a turn of phrase until I met his mom as I went to the WC and she was coming out of the kitchen. His father was working the dinning room making sure all of the guests were looked after. I say guests because this place feels like your eating at your new friends house on a Sunday. The food was excellent, the family was personable, the atmosphere was warm and cozy. There is no room for improvement, this establishment runs like a well oiled machine. read more

Lovely authentic Italian food with a few interesting twists - would come here again. Wasn't too crowded when we arrived but was hippie' by the time we left. English & Italian spoken well by the wait staff; good prices too. read more

We had reservations at La Carbonara so only stopped in for drinks. The service was awesome along with the red wine, Aperol, and prosecco spritz. After the lackluster dinner at La Carbonara I wish we had eaten here. The interior is great with old beams and exposed brick. They had live musicians doing a mix of English and Italian music. All the food I saw looked great. read more

We stumbled onto this bistro by accident. Great service, friendly staff, authentic food, great tasting meals made fresh.

I will definitely be back and I will recommend this place to all my friends. read more

Worst service in all of Rome. Doesn't matter if you pay more to sit and have your coffee the people who walk in and stand get priority and you get attitude from the staff when you ask for your coffee. read more

Great aperitivo. Fun cool spot. Inexpensive gem. Can't wait to go back!! See you soon!!!

Service was good. Wine was good. Quaint atmosphere. Tuscan style restaurant. The pasta ..I forget the name ...it's the first one on the list Americana something or other ... Was yummy. Tiramisu tasted unlike any other I've had but yummy nonetheless. read more

Went for lunch. Well priced , small restaurant, nice atmosphere and sweet service. We had a salad with walnuts, a wonderfully mild blue cheese, slices of pear, honey and lettuce and Veal Scallopini with spinach and fried potatoes. Also cappuccino and a coffee & bread. All made to perfection though the Veal was a bit dry. I would come again. 25 euro for the entire meal. Very quick service. read more
