We were searching for something close to our hotel and this looked interesting. The beef that comes out on a hot stone was all it took for me to want to go. We split a salad that was big enough for a meal, my wife had the bolognese, and I had the steak. It was super rare, but as I cut into it, I would lay it onto the stone to allow it to cook a bit more. I like it on the lean side of medium rare and my wife prefers a bit more. This was perfect for us to both enjoy it the way we like. Her pasta was excellent as well and we enjoyed sharing the meal. A bottle of wine topped off a great dinner. The weather was rainy so we opted to sit inside and it was warm and welcoming. Our waiter was helpful with our choices and we enjoyed his observations. The only thing I can say that was off, was the older woman who was paying her bill before me was pressured into leaving a tip ( service charge, is what he said). I was prepared for that but was not asked to tip. Great meal, we enjoyed it immensely, but the service charge that was scammed out of the 70+ year old lady in front of me kind of left a sour taste in my mouth. I was going to tip a few euros because we enjoyed ourselves so much, but decided not to because of the way it was presented to the party before us. read more

As others have said, this is no longer the name of the restaurant- it is now Il Panzerotto. That said, I disagree about the food quality. We had a calzone and traditional spaghetti and both were delicious. I don't even know how to describe the calzone. It was unlike anything I've had before but SO good. I literally cleaned my plate with the last of the breading from it. The owner/chef was Luca. He was upset with the host because he had burned the plastic on the outdoor tent as he had placed a heater too close to it. To be honest, he seemed like a bit of a jerk, but his food was freaking delicious. read more

We ate here before our night tour of the Vatican. It was a very short walk and we're glad we ate here. We started with negronis which were very smooth. Next came limoncello spritzers, which were absolutely divine, bright and refreshing. They served a bread basket along with some fried dough balls that were warm and salty. Along with that came olives with orange peels. Both complimentary bites were a nice touch. My hubby ordered the filet, medium, with a side salad and I ordered the seared sea bream with a side salad. I know it's just salad, but the simplicity of the greens, olive oil and lemon were so deliciously paired with the warm fish. The servers were friendly and attentive but gave us plenty of space, and the decor was cute with vespas around the restaurant. read more

This is no longer the name of the restaurant but based on reviews written here we decided to try it anyways. It was the worst food we've had like ever, not just in Italy. We ordered pizzas which were thin like crackers and so hard they crumbled when cutting(which you have to cut yourself by the way). The friend calamari was overcooked and I ordered the grilled calamari dish w salad which smelled so bad, our table was getting nauseous over. I tried cutting a tiny slice to cut it and it was like cutting into rubber. I had to split it out immediately. It tasted like spoiled fish which I hope no one ever has to try. The funny part is that the waiter came out after taking my plate back chewing my calamari and came out to tell me it wasn't too bad. Even the table next to us were complaining to the waiter about how they've never had such terrible food. So needless to say, I wouldn't recommend this place. Keep walking and find something else. read more

We LOVED this place (went in 2019). Burrata and panna cotta. Great tender pork shoulder. Will be back if we get a chance.

No longer there Do not use Yelp when overseas. They should make it clear that their app is inaccurate and out of date in Europe Very inaccurate tried twice and both times the restaurant was no longer in business read more

Remember you are on A Roman holiday. Initially you might walk in and leave. Stop! Stay! This is not a tourist trap! Roberto is hopefully working when you visit. A professional waiter. The restaurant has a very appealing approach to reviving you after a 3 hour Vatican tour. Their menu has many typical Roman mandatory plates. My over-60 party of 2 did the shrimp/scallop ravioli and green salad with the house white wine. Also the pork rib and potato fry side. Enjoy! read more

We loved this place, but my hubs is a vintage Vespa collector, so he was exceptionally geeked. This place is super cute with nice staff. The tapa (for lack of a better term) of the olives with lemon were amazing. We also go their meat and cheese board. Great wine selection. Ordering a bottle always makes more sense, regardless of country. My husband ordered a pasta dish with a lamb ragu I believe and I got the prawns. Everything was delicious. It's likely no surprise that the best pasta I've had in my life was during our trip to Rome. We also got some aperitifs and their port wine tiramisu, which was a game changer. SO good. Of course the layer of cream helped... This place was awesome, although everyone eating here was a native English speaker which can be a bit of drag in another country when you're really trying to experience it. read more

I do not understand the great reviews here. I was looking forward to this, since the reviews were good, but I was really disappointed. The service was nice, and the place is cute- but my spaghetti pomodoro was just awful. Possibly the worst plate of pasta I've ever had. No flavor whatsoever. I could have poured sauce out of a can and had a more interesting meal. It's often the simple things that show you how good a restaurant is- and this one failed big time. I will say the bread, and fried pizza balls were great as were the olives. My husband had the tuna salad with olives (Nizzaro?)- and he wasn't too disappointed. Nothing special- but at least his wasn't horrible. But he agreed my pasta was awful. My awful pasta was 10 euro and my husband's salad was around 9.50 and the soda water (large bottle) was a very fair 3.50. read more

The service was top notch. The waiter and waitresses were really nice to us and our daughter. When we had to change her diaper, they tried to make arrangements since they didn't have a diaper changing station. They also kindly took the dirty diaper and threw it out in the outside trash bin. This was a totally friendly baby friendly restaurant. Did I mention that it is close to the Vatican? It is located about a 5 min walk from the Vatican exit. The restaurant is cutely decorated with a vespa outside. It looks really quaint. The food wasn't that memorable. We got two pastas that tasted okay. I wouldn't come here for the food. It is a good place to sit down after walking for hours and have some lunch. It was clean, nice setting, and had great service! read more

I'm sad to leave Rome for 2 reasons... first because is beautiful city,second I'll not have one of my favorite restaurants nearby. Went to Biancos on couple of occasions and never got disappointed. It's a cosy little place, with simple but tasty food, friendly staff and great music. I had beef Carpaccio with Parmesan shavings as a starter. They put truffle oil on the top; great combination. Pesto pasta as a main. Fresh & tasty. I couldn't resist to one of my favorite desserts at the end, Portamisu!!! Highly recommended! Will be back soon!!! read more

On the backside of a tour of Vatican City, we decided to fill our need to live by more than bread alone. Yelped this convenient bistro and found our way over to it for a sit down lunch. The whole place has Vespa mopeds inside and out, just in case you weren't sure you're in the right place. Small but quaint, not a lot of servers (common all over Europe). A whole lot of menu items to choose from, so if you didn't like it, you didn't choose wisely. I ordered a simple homemade lasagna which I enjoyed, but the Mrs. wasn't as accurate with her choice. She opted to get spaghetti and meatballs thinking it'd be better in its country of origin than in the states. Perhaps, but not here. The meat was unseasoned and the sauce was plain, and that was unexpected. I guess if we had saw Karen back there in the kitchen we'd have known to order something she couldn't mess up. I did. The experience was pleasant and the staff abliged to grant to the patrons' request for pictures and special seating (except for on the Vespas). Not a bad place, just order something with plenty of cheese in it. read more

WOW, had a great dinner at Bianco's last night. Great service and super friendly staff and owner. Owner sat with us after dinner and served us lemon chello and Servire Ghiacciato in frozen shot glasses and we just talked. When we left he gave us the open bottle of servire, class act. Must try, sat outside on beautiful evening. read more

We stumbled upon this restaurant after we had left the Vatican Museum. Service was great. Considering it was Rome, they were very attentive. We ordered the Clams and Mussels in White Wine Sauce for our appetizer and Veal Liver in Gravy for our entree. The restaurant provided us with a bread basket along with some fried dough balls and a plate of black olives. Perfect small bites to start off our meal. The clams/mussels in white wine sauce was very good. However, the highlight of our meal was the veal liver. It was spectacular. This was the best liver I've ever tasted in my life. So good that we could not believe it was liver. The liver itself was very tender and flavorful but the secret is in the gravy. Apparently, the waiter told us that it is an old Venetian recipe which the chef uses. The waiter actually brought out the chef and we could not thank him enough for the outstanding dish. read more

We had a delicious dinner here last night. We had the mixed bruschetta, with five different kinds, the caprese salad, pesto pasta, and the carbonara, followed by the homemade tiramisu. The caprese was delicious! The cheese was flavorful and the tomatoes were perfect. The bruschetta was delicious, especially the one with sautéed mushrooms on top. I had the pesto which was a perfect portion size, and it was very light and delicious. My husband had the carbonara, and he said it was fantastic. He is not a big dessert person but he loves tiramisu. I am a huge dessert person, but don't care for tiramisu. However, it was delicious, and I'm glad we tried it. We were very pleased with the service and the food. We would definitely come back here. read more

This was one of the best meals we had in Rome! We enjoyed the spinach ravioli, fettuccini, grilled sirloin and grilled salmon. We finished our meal with port wine tiramisu which I had never had before-- so delicious! Our server, Roberto was friendly and accommodating and had really attentive service. For 2 first courses, 2 second courses, 2 drinks, 2 espressos and 1 dessert, it was €90 which I found to be really reasonable. read more

After touring the Vatican all afternoon we used the trusty ol' Yelp app and found this to be the top restaurant nearby. We took the chance and Yelp did us right once again! Service was A+ and so was the food. We had the risotto, gnocchi, and chicken breast which all were so good! Would recommend this place and I will eat there again when we go back to Rome. read more

FOOD: Excellent! My fiance and I didn't know that the pizzas would be so big, so we ordered two. I had the funghi, and he had the salami/mushroom/spinach pizza. Ingredients were really fresh, and the pizzas overall were really delicious. The portions were HUGE. We definitely could have gotten away with just one pizza. PRICE: Also really great. A 12-ish inch pizza here costs 7-12 euros. That could easily feed two people. SERVICE: The chef himself comes out and asks how your food is. Waiters are so welcoming and charming, and they really appreciate any attempt to speak Italian. It's been my favorite place in Italy so far in terms of ambiance!! LOCATION/AMBIANCE: Within a 5 minute walk of the Vatican. Sit indoors for wifi and a quieter ambiance, sit outside for more people-watching. Loved the decor. RESTROOMS: Sparkling clean! This is really important to me, as a tourist. Plus, these toilets are not the squatty kind; it actually has a toilet seat. I cannot emphasize how relieved I was. read more

Ok, been in Rome for a week, eaten in a lot of restaurants here, some in the tourist area some not. Stopped In on a whim, with my family of four. We each had different meals, deserts and drinks. Best meal in Rome!!!!! For the food the prices where comparable to many of the spots next to a tourist location but the Portions the quality the people I would Happily of paid double what I did pay. Not ten min walk from St Peters square. Go there tell Roberto I sent you! read more

The restaurant is pretty on the inside and is well decorated. I came with a larger group of 5 people and they seated us quickly and took our order. The waiting staff is very nice and helpful and this review is not meant to criticize them. However, they did not keep an eye on our waters and the food situation got worse from there. One of our dishes came out 20 minutes after the rest and one of the group members ordered the beef filet, which was poorly cooked and unseasoned. The appetizers were good, but how can you mess up cold bread. In all, for a 4 star rated restaurant, the food should not be this inconsistent. #sometimesitmaybegood #sometimesitmaybeshit read more

Perfect spot for our last meal in Italy... The vegetarian tag attracted my wife, but this place serves plenty of meat dishes. The food is on par with other spots around, but it gets 5 stars because the owner turned down a rowdy group of 6-8 guys that just wanted drinks. On a slow day, that's a hard thing for an owner to do, but I (and the rest of the patrons) really appreciated it! There's plenty of bars and we may join that crew later tonight (they looked like a fun crowd!), but for lunch, it's nice to enjoy soft talk and good food. read more

What. How does this place have such high ratings? I came here after touring the Vatican Museums. The two servers working were very nice. Ordered a pizza topped with salami and a tiramisu for dessert. Before the meal starts, they give you complimentary deep-fried pizza dough balls--which were AMAZING. Then my pizza arrived, served on a wooden platter. I could smell the damp wood; in fact, the odor was so strong, it somewhat overwhelmed the aroma of the pizza. The pizza itself...meh. I've had better pizza outside of Italy. The tiramisu, however, was amazing. Just go here for the tiramisu. read more

our friend recommend this place and we are sure glad we came in. The service to the food was excellent. The tomato soup was BOMB DIGGITY!! The flavors burst in your mouth, it's awesome!

Excellent family owned spot near the Vatican. Recommended by our hotel staff as not "touristy", reviews on Yelp were good, so we decided to give it a try. Excellent service, house red wine (waiter recommended) was top notch. She had the spinach and mushroom ravioli, I had the saltimbocca, both dishes were incredible!! Very nice Caesar salad to start. Good portions, just a perfect meal. Prices were very fair. I will come back here for another meal!! read more

What is there NOT to say!! Incredible! Amazing! Fantastic! SO many laughs, SO much fun, and SUCH great food. We got drinks: piña colata, mojito, and vodka tonic..all yummy and packed a punch;) We got an appetizer: olive bruschetta..great!! (Also complementary bread, breadsticks, and olives!)We got entrees: spaghetti bolognese (FIRE!) and 4 cheese gnocchi (little pillows of heaven)! We got dessert: tiramisu..godly. Mauricio and Roberto treated us like family. Before we knew it, it had been two hours of laughs, jokes, and comfort. After a long day of activities, Bianco's was JUST the reprieve we needed. To add onto the superb experience, we ended the night with some sweet limoncello! We left happy, stuffed, (a little buzzed), and with new friends and a recommendation for another restaurant where we were staying in San Lorenzo! Bianco's is a MUST after a day in Vatican City. read more

First of all, location is prime. Just a few minutes walk away from the Vatican. The interior is also very cute, and the staff is very pleasant. The food is where the restaurant fell short. I had the Minestrone soup and the cacio e pepe. The Minestrone soup was solid. It was quite pricey, but overall worth the price if you're in the mood for soup. The cacio e Pepe on the other hand was arguably the worst pasta dish I had in my Italy trip. The cheese was way too strong and didn't mix well with the pasta at all. And you could barely taste the pepper. Maybe it was just the dish, and everything else is absolutely delicious. However, I was thoroughly disappointed with the dish (even though it was recommended by the waiter). If you come here, don't get the cacio e pepe. read more

We came in because of good reviews. Ordered the simple bruschetta and carbonara. The bruschetta was supposed to have olive oil and garlic, came with one whole garlic clove on a toothpick, and a few drops of olive oil on the bread.

I am happy to report that the good reviews of Bianco's were very accurate. We went on a Saturday night at just around 7 when the restaurant had plenty of people but still had a few tables open. The staff was friendly and accommodating and eager to please. Although many of the patrons were tourists, there were some locals as well. Typically heavy tourist places have lower quality food, but this place was an exception. The food was delicious and affordable. My dad got the lasagna and loved it. My mom and I shared a pesto cáptese sandwich if the specials and a salad. They were both wonderful. The bread for the sandwich was a little burnt but all the other ingredients were fresh and tasty. The salad was delicious as well. I definitely recommend stopping by when you are looking for a smaller more casual and relaxing place to eat. read more

Somehow this place was empty - totally empty - when we went during a weeknight. Normally that'd be a bad sign, but we found nothing to dislike about this place. The food and service was excellent. Highly recommend the muscles marinara appetizer. Out of this world. One of the top plates we had in Rome. The sauce was made from fresh tomatoes (you can tell because it is orange-ish not bright red when it is made from fresh tomatoes.) Everything else was as expected - well executed and reasonably priced. read more

Don't shy away!! When in rome eat here! We spent the day in the vatican and this was a 6 minute walk. Very convenient and close by. The food was outstanding and the price was certainly acceptable. We left completely full and it was extremely good italian homecooking. Special: codfish with tomato sauce and olives was phenomenal soft and flakey. Salmon was grilled to perfection and fresh. I had a pasta that was penne with bacon, tomato sauce and parmesan cheese super good. The quantity of food is plentiful and the quality hits right on the nail. The garlic bread, tomato soup and mussels were an excellent starter! They even wrapped the garlic bread into a swan to take home! Ambience , service and quality are 5 stars!! read more
