    Bella Napoli
    Beatrice T.

    Es war unser letzter Abend in Rom. Dieses Restaurant war 10 Minuten von unserem Hotel weg zum Laufen, und hatte sehr gute Yelp Reviews. Wir wurden nicht enttäuscht. Mein Freund, der überaus pingelig ist, hatte gegrillten Thunfisch und Scampi mit Beilage. Er sagte, das war der beste Fisch, den er je gegessen hat. Ich hatte die "Linguini con pesce spada e pomodori pachino", das auch wunderbar schmeckte. Zum Dessert hatten wir Tiramisu. Der Service war ausgezeichnet, und das tolle war, dass all die Kellner ältere Gentlemen's waren.

    Very good! Highly recommend when you come to Gaeta. The service was excellent as well

    Antipasto di mare -- a MUST order! So lemony and fresh. This is what my dreams are made of.

    I loved this restaurant I haven't stopped thinking about it since my first night in Rome. We walked in about 5 minutes after opening to the staff sitting down for dinner. They looked at us a little funny but seated us anyways, giving us time to look over the menu. We were overwhelmed with everything on the menu because it all sounded so good! We ordered: * bruschetta (5 out of 5 -- so delicious and so fresh with the most wonderfully toasted and still spongy bread) * antipasto di mare (7 out of 5 -- this is what I've been dreaming of since that night over a week ago - WOW) * bucatini with tomato and guanciale (4.5 out of 5 -- pasta was cooked so perfectly with great flavor from the guanciale) * spaghetti alla vongole (4 out of 5 -- my boyfriend ordered this and really, really liked the flavor) * house red wine (4 out of 5 -- nice and light, not sweet but fruity) * mixed berry panna cotta (5 out of 5 -- flavors were complimentary and bursting) * daily dessert - chocolate with ricotta and pine nuts, topped with fresh whipped cream (3.5 out of 5 -- it was good but not our favorite) Service was fantastic. The wait staff are the older men and they don't need to write anything down. Our Italian is very limited and their English isn't the best but we got by! Overall, such a wonderful first Italian meal and one I will never forget.

    This was my second time eating pasta in Italy, and it was fantastic. I ordered the spaghetti alle vongole veraci, which is just a simple pasta with olive oil and clams. It was delicious! I can definitely tell a difference between olive oil in the USA and olive oil in Italy based on this dish. The olive oil is much brighter here! My dad ordered a pizza, and it was really good. The crust was perfectly made. The char around the edges implied it was cooked in a wood-fired oven (cannot confirm or deny). The tomato sauce was light but tasty. Yum! I would definitely recommend coming here again. Unfortunately we did not have time to return, and when we did visit, it was after midnight when they closed. The waiter spoke a bit of English, which was helpful, and English menus are available. Service was great, and timing of food was accurate. Enjoy!

    Read the reviews and came for dinner on our last night in Rome. I immediately fell in love with our waiter. This was the best meal in Rome and we have been here six days. Everything was perfect. Sorry we can't transport them to Connecticut. We came at 7:30. The place was empty bit by 9:00 it was packed. Definitely a local following.

    Had delicious brick oven pizza with pomodoro and mushrooms. Pesto pasta was perfectly al dente. Water served in bottles to pour into glasses. 1 liter bottled Coke available.

    Nothing at this place can seem to go wrong. The staff speak English and are very helpful. This place makes great Neapolitan food - definitely get some fish and check out the antipasto bar. Don't squander their generosity and they'll be good to you. A must go.

    So delicious, Me and my wife loved it. Everything was cooked perfectly. Very authentic and traditional food. The waiters were helpful when I wasn't sure what to get. I'm sure anything you eat here delicious.

    Review # 1200 After…read moresome shopping on the Via cola Di Riemzo, we were ready for lunch. This spot was a Yelp find. We arrived just before they opened at 12:30. We asked for a table outside and the kind lady asked us if we had a reservation (oh oh). We didn't. No problem as we took our pick of one of the tables. Two levels inside with a small Bar in the back. Before we knew it, outside seating was full and inside also filled up-a good sign. We ordered a liter (ended up being too much but when in Rome...) of their house Red and enjoyed it. For starters, we ordered the Fried Artichokes (thick breading and will order the Roman style with garlic/vinegar next time), fried Zucchini and Suppli-Cacio Pepe. The Suppli was delicious and was enjoyed the most. For main, it was Pasta Carbonara (Guanciale )-Proper carbonara and the streak of not having a bad version of this dish in Rome continues. The sliced Beef with mushrooms was also delicious -super tender and thin pieces of beef (medium rare as requested). We asked if the Tiramisu was house-made. Our server answered, "yes, and I am the one who makes it." How could we not order after that?! One of the best Tiramisus we've had. Perfect balance of coffee dipped lady fingers with cream-delicious! Our Server was kind, attentive and full of hustle -she was covering a lot of ground. Don't miss this Gem if you are in the Prati district.

    Yes, it's worth the wait if you go there early. We stood in line at 12:30 on a weekday, as in,…read morelunchtime. We were 2nd in line and waited about 30 minutes. I would wait longer. I had possibly the most amazing chick food pasta a girl could imagine. Girls know what girl food is. The pasta in Italy is just better -obviously. But then put all sorts of girl flavors on it like Lemon and Orange, just lightly enough, zest with a small hint of cheese-..... omgosh. Yes, yes, and yes. Need my hubs to replicate at home. He is going to be busy trying to perfect this. Tagliatelle with orange and lemon parmesan. This was it. It was the best. Everything else we ordered was amazing as well. Wait outside. They don't have a sign telling you to wait, no server telling you to wait. You wait out there, wondering if you're in the right place, but then people stand behind you and you're like - oh! I'm here. This is the place. There are possibly 4 tables inside. It's small. I read about them being rude- we did not have that problem. In fact, they made a mistake and we kindly let them know we ordered something else- they corrected it and were nice about it.

So happy we did as this place definitely delivers. There is seriously like 8 tables in the dining room so expect a wait in line but trust me, it's worth it. We waited outside for about 25 minutes. They do take your order while in line so the wait for food (once you do get a table) is abbreviated. Out of the world pastas and the pistachio tiramisu is seriously out of this world. Inexpensive table wine rounds out a great meal. This is the type of place I love to go to. It's quaint, zero pretense and delivers on its food. A great find!

Our kind waiter bright over water, bread and breadsticks. No olive oil, no butter just dry. For our lunch I decided on the cacio e Pepe and Lisa opted for the ragú. Both were delicious. For dessert we were told the owners mom made lemon cake so that was a no brainer. It was fabulous and paired well with espresso. Our waiter also brought us Amaro. It's a licorice like liqueur enjoyed as a digestif. Definitely an acquired taste that reminded me of Aguardiente. Overall the service and staff were exceptional and I would return if ever in a Vatican City again.

We were both satisfied with our selections. Our meals started with bread service, both fresh bread and packaged breadsticks. We didn't receive any olive oil which might be the norm in Italy. For dessert, we opted for a slice of their featured lemon torta. It was enjoyable and we paired it with espresso. Finally, our server offered us a popular digestivi - Amaro. It reminded me of Jägermeister and I wasn't a fan. But I appreciated the hospitality and kindness of his gesture. In summary, we left content and with full bellies. Our server did a great job and the manager or owner acknowledged us and seemed to appreciate our business. All in all, this lunch was a positive experience.
