Got a take out pizza to have back at the hotel. We had the margarita with prosciutto pie. Truly outstanding!!!

The staff was friendly, accommodating and spoke English very well. Our salads were huge and flavorful. My chicken dish was delicious but a bit on the smaller side. I counted six tiny potato wedges for my side dish... And nothing else. But hubby got a pizza and was very pleased. It was pretty big as well. Cappuccino was also very good. All in all I would return but I wouldn't get a chicken and potatoes dish. read more

Tried this place for lunch. Place was short with staff. Only one server for the entire place. Not sure about the kitchen but half the orders came out first (we were a group of 6) and it took another 10-15 minutes for the remaining orders to come out. Food was okay. read more

Ordered the fried anchovies and finished off with the carbonara and seafood spaghetti. I would suggest this place as a quick hit spot. The place is big and hard to find, hidden in the alley behind the main street. The house wine doesn't taste that good, but it's like $4 for almost all you can drink =) So that makes it taste awesome! read more

on our first night without internet, we couldn't get a hold of directions to all the places that i book marked...therefore, we kind of walked aimlessly around the neighborhood near the hotel we were staying at.... One hotel recommended Berzitello...family owned restaurant where owner takes great pride in the food that he serves. I went with a spaghetti with shellfish... (crabs, shrimp, crawfish). spaghetti was fresh... seafood was good, albeit very difficult to eat ... no sauce, just parsley and lots of butter goodness. would have wanted mine with a bit more tomato sauce... my bf was not happy about his pizza. pizza had chunks of hard cheese that he expected to be melted... eh... i lucked out with my dish. better luck next time... though the owner and server was super nice and took the pizza off the bill and tried to comp us dessert. he is a huge supporter (borderline obsessed) of marketing his restaurant via trip advisor and you will see some of his comments that he responds back to his customers. i'm convinced there is something greater in rome, though this place will treat you as if you're like family. read more

A quiet, hole-in-the-wall kind of place with ah-mazing seafood! After an exhausting day of traveling, we stumbled into this bistro and we were greeted warmly. We bought a bottle of white wine on the waiter's recommendation and it was succulent. Shortly after, our clam spaghetti arrive and let me tell you: some of the finest pasta I've ever consumed. We finished off with some coffee gelato and rolled out of there, fat and happy! If you have the chance, go here! read more

The pasta here is served in cute fish-shaped plates. I thought the taste was good, nothing extraordinary.. but there does seem to be many Italians eating here too. Service was pretty slow. The calamari was quite tasty. read more

Great food feels like my grandmas kitchen with a world class chef and great service. The whole fish looks amazing and they even let you pick your fish. All fish and shrimp is fresh from Italian coast. Highly recommended bring your appetite and take your time read more

Must visit! The best lunch we had over the past 5 days while in Rome. It's deceiving from the outside, but the food is outstanding. Great service as well. read more

Small, cute restaurant. The capricciosa pizza was incredible, as was the pasta. Service was also very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended! read more

This restaurant we found on Yelp was close to our hotel at Hotel Artemide. Our dinner was amazing flavorful, service was excellent, the owners were so gracious and they had no idea all the high marks they had received on Yelp let what Yelp was. She sent over dessert to our table after sharing with her about Yelp reviews. Our experience for dinner was pure Italian. read more

My wife and I were walking back to our hotel when we walked past this restaurant. There was an employee out front asking if we would like to see the menu. Typically this annoys me but he was very courteous and not abrasive or pushy. We decided to try it. I had the ravioli with buffalo ricotta and my wife had the margarita pizza with prosciutto. It was fabulous. The servers were very polite to us and is easily the best little pizzeria we have found in Rome so far. read more

Good place, solid Italian fare. The spaghetti carbonara was excellent and the gnocchi with marinara was great too. Wine is generous and service is attentive. The desserts are underwhelming, and we tried one of each. The tiramisu has a strong coffee flavor, which I enjoyed, but the others were so-so. read more

Had 3 bad meals before we found this place. Thank God.... I might have lost weight otherwise. Four cheese pizza was great ( too big for me to eat the whole thing) service was very nice ! Saw some of the other food, will go back here before we leave! read more

This is an average spot! There is a lot better in Rome, from my experience. We had pizza which seemed to be cooked from frozen/not freshly prepared. It was tasty all the same but it was easy to tell it wasn't "the real deal"! read more

This place was alright, pretty standard Sardinian inspired cuisine. However the lack of fresh ingredients made the food fall flat. The beef gnocchi tastes like Mac and cheese, although it was very comforting. All in all the service was very nice and helpful, making the experience easy and fast. read more

I found this Yelp and decided to give it a try since it was close to our hotel and had good reviews. We were not disappointed. We ate on the early side and were the only people in the restaurant, but it was great since we had a long day of travel. We will go back before our trip is over. read more

I visited here based on convenience as it was across the street from my hotel. I am a gnocchi fan, and each time I visit the food and wine is always top notch. The service has been excellent when I came alone to work (the staff finished my meal with a free apertif) and with friends. Highly recommend for anyone in Rome looking for great Italian food. read more

Stay in the hotel nearby and was recommend by a working staff. Food is just amazing. Every meal I tried in London can't compare any of them I tried here. Just ordered a pizza and gnocchi to take away(because I am so tired to dine in), how amazing it is!! And working staff is extremely friendly, got two glasses of white wine free while I was waiting. read more

Amazing service and amazing food. We enjoyed the insulate caprese and calzone; however, it was the dessert that made it amazing+. I had the tiramisu and my wife had the flakey crust, strawberry, chocolate and cream dessert (cannot recall its name) but she was overwhelmed with savory delight. read more

This place was so good! Everything about our early dinner was perfect. I had the spaghetti with tomato and my husband had the pasta carbonara. We also shared a pizza margherita and a tiramisu. I had a glass of white wine as well. It was all delicious and light. After our meal we didn't feel weighed down or heavy. Good ingredients, good portions, decent prices. Will definitely recommend and come back. read more

It was ok. We ordered the squash flower with anchovy and mozarella as an appetizer, the batter was a bit on the thicker side but it was good.The fettuccine with shrimp and pesto was disappointing . The fettuccine didn't taste like it was freshly made. Tasted like it was bought from a mini mart across the street and pesto didn't have the refreshing taste if should have , very little olive oil. The seafood couscous was a bit better though. Just an overall mediocre restaurant. read more

The food was good but the service was very confusing. Also they charge for bottled water but they told us originally that is all they offered and the water would be free. They also asked us if we wanted bread but did not tell us there was a charge for that as well. I would give it a 3.5 if I could because everything tasted good but I just don't feel they deserve a 4. read more

A very nice (apparently) family-owned place. Grilled seabass is outstanding. A friendly option for a nice balanced evening meal. Nothing poshy, very democratic. read more

Recommended by a local as a place for locals and we saw many Romans picking up takeout as we ate our dinner. Great service in this little Sardenian neighbourhood gem. Gnocchi with lamb ragu and Carbonara along with insalada mista and a side of broccoli was Devine. Couldn't have been better. Sardinian wine by the 1/4 or 1/2 litre delish. You should go, seriously. read more

We read the prior reviews and decided to try this place. Our service was good. Everything else was very disappointing. I had the lasagna which was very dry. It tasted like it was left over from noon. We went for dinner at 8:30. Also had the gnocchi with lamb sauce - uncertain what kind of meat it was. Every dinner decision to date was amazing in Rome that we checked out on yelp. This one was an extreme disappointment. Maybe we hit them on an off day but it truly was a horrible dinner. read more

Awesome experience! The staff was friendly and attentive, unlike other restaurants we visited, and the food was great! Almost half the price of the dinner from the night before and far superior. Definitely will return! read more

I'm a little bit disappointed at this place. It only has limited choices (about 15 items in total, not like what I saw on yelp). All the food i saw on yelp that i wanted to try were not on the menu. The food was generally okay, not amazing. read more

The restaurant staffs are very nice and attentive. The calamari with prawn is really really salty, I feel the pasta could be better.

So glad we found this place while in Rome. We had the Spaghetti with Shrimp and Tomatoes, Raviloli with Ricotta and Peppers and Margherita and Proscutto Pizza. Everything was delicious. Prices are very reasonable. read more

Great pizza and fantastic appetizers (mussels, calamari, a nice cold plate with the best pizza bread ever!!!!) A nice first meal in Rome!

Stopped in for a late lunch. Enjoyed caprese salad and salmon entree. It was perfect with a glass of the house red. Wait staff was friendly and attentive. read more

Great place! We found it through yelp. I had fish of the day and it was great. They bring the whole fish to your table and you select. The octopus salad was very tasty- marinated octopus with arugula, black olives, celery, carrots and cherry tomatoes House wine was good and inexpensive- one liter for 10 euros. Good mix of locals and tourists, friendly staff. read more

Wow! Typical Roman cuisine. Apparently family run. Doesn't look that fancy from the outside, and the decorations inside are practical. But the service top, and the food "Oh my....." Best pizza ever (broccoli, salcicia, Mozerella) and shared starter (mixed antipasti). read more

Best seafood salad ever and great mussels! The plate of mixed fish was perfectly fried and spiced. Great spaghetti as well and a tiramisu to die for! All that an a litre of the good house wine for 80€. Nothing more for say! Weird interior though... read more

We used the recommendations by other yelp users to try out this restaurant and were not disappointed. We had the antipasto platter to share with cheese and fig jam, which was delicious. Next we chose a lamb dish and a veal dish, both with delectable gravy and sauces, and finished off with tirimasu, the lightest I have ever eaten. Complimentary coffee cream was served also. This was a lovely meal, we will definitely be going back. read more

The other reviews are very accurate. Not much ambiance. The food was very good. The service was accurate & above average for Rome. Communication in English was not an issue. read more

Went there with my children having been told by our hotel that this place was well known for pasta. Welcome was mediocre - woman at entrance won't win waitress-of-the-month prize. Do you people realize that without us patrons, you're out of business??! Started with calamari and red bell pepper appetizer that was tasty. We took pasta and pizza and had to wait 30 minutes to get served main dishes. A little long, especially as it was a Thursday night. Pasta with seafood was good, although seafood were few and far between, tiny pieces if calamari, small mussels and dwarf size shrimps. Pizzas were not great, no taste, dry and too much tomato sauce. We didn't get any limoncello proposed so I guess that's reserved for certain customers. Prices were ok but customer service needs some improvement. read more

Great location, close to our hotel. Solid four star experience. Waitstaff was super nice and there is A LOT of food/portion. Good wine selection too! read more

This restaurant was great, and had amazing food! My family and I visited Berzitello twice during our four nights in Rome! The first night we went there because we were exhausted and it was right across the "alley" from our hotel. We entered, and were immediately greeted by a very friendly waiter/host. He sat us right there in the front, and it just looked like a cozy little family place. Typical Americans, none of us know very much Italian, but there are English "subtitles" (as my dad called them) under the food titles so you can generally understand what you are getting. Between the four of us, we had excellent food. I highly recommend the sausage and spinach lasagna (can't quite remember the ingredients, but I think it was the only lasagna on the menu), it was delicious. Additionally, my incredibly picky little sister had their pasta bolognese and that was great as well! My mom had the steak, and while it was good it wasn't great. To wash it all down, we split two liters of the house red, which is a great wine and they definitely give you a very generous liter! The staff was very friendly all evening, and as a thank you at the end of the evening, brought us out each a glass of limoncello! Delicious! We ended up there two nights later, our last night in Rome, after spending 20 minutes trying to decide on a place and finally all agreeing on trying Berzitello again! We walk in and they treat us like family -- they pour us each a glass of champagne as we sit down. This time, we were in the back room, which was surprising as it didn't look like there could be more rooms but there were. Had some more of the vino rosso, and wasn't disappointed. We all ate a lot of the same of what we had the first night, including their desserts, and it was all delicious. Generally it was on par with what we had spent as other restaurants on our trip (about 80 euros for four people with drinks, main courses, and desserts). The staff was friendly and welcoming, and it was worth going back again! We did not wait either time we went, but we prolly did an "American dinner" time of around 7 pm, on a Sunday and Tuesday in June. Also, they had an amazing wine rack in the back room that I am hoping I can make a copy of. If you are in the area and are looking for a relaxing evening eating great food, I can not recommend Berzitello more. read more
