There were six of us there, and it was simply fantastic. Very friendly staff and great service, the prices are reasonable. Cozy location -- we'll be happy to come back. read more

We went as part of a food tour and only tasted a couple of items, but everything was delicious!

Food was great, but sitting outside watching the whole world go by the Piazza di San Calisto was the real treat. Barely controlled chaos as entertainment, an attentive staff, and a delicious meal, what more could you want. read more

We found this place randomly and were so glad we did. Rome is full of overpriced Touristy traps but the service, food and ambiance here are amazing. The prices are very fair, especially compared to the rest of Rome. Pasta is 9 Euro and pizza is 8-12 euro. Amatriciana & salmone pizza were very good, but honestly I don't think you can go wrong here. Pro tip: they have happy hour & outdoor seating! read more

Great meal and wonderful staff! As Americans we tried our hardest to order in Italian. Sara and Jolanta were sweet and patience. We ordered the Funghi pizza, boscaiola pizza, and house wine. SO GOOD! Thank you Cajo & Gajo for a great experience! read more

Count on Trastevere for great options. Count on Cajo & Gajo for AMAZING aperitivo!! We were the happiest campers there. The wine was phenomenal, and the food was perfectly matched. This is not one of those places that has tiny food options included with the drinks. Oh no, they are large and plentiful!! I can return to Rome over and over again just to have aperitivo here. The place is small and intimate, and there is outdoor seating to enjoy too. Summer nights while visiting here just feel right and I can't recommend this place enough. read more

Came across Cano and Gajo while walking through the Trastevere neighborhood. The neighborhood itself has a buzz to it and this restaurant fits right into that. The restaurant is small, but it was comfortably packed with people who were having a great time. Lots of good music with plenty of singing and laughter. The waiters were also really fun and upbeat as they pressed us to keep drinking before we could finish each glass. Speaking of the wine, we had a few glasses of their red, which were delicious. They have a really good selection. Foodwise, we had their sample platter which came with chips, small pieces of pizza and salad. All we're good and paired well with the wine and atmosphere. Overall really cool place worth checking out while in this area. read more

Got a table here because they were the only ones open around 11:15, despite there being two or three other restaurants with outdoor seating. Definitely caters to and international crowd (read: touristy) BUT, the service was friendly, the pizza was very good and they did not rush me although I was waiting for a friend to finish a photography tour and I had an app, espresso and glass of rosé and relaxed for an hour or so before she came. The crispy Roman artichoke was delicious! She enjoyed her pasta as well. Food was good, 3.5 stars. Service was unobtrusive, and when I asked for crushed red pepper for my pizza, the owner came out with a chili pepper lei and did a little dance! :) Then he insisted on us taking a picture! I also observed him humming/singing while he worked, so you can tell he loves his job. Thus the 4 stars! read more

Love at first sit! I'm so glad I found this gem while walking through the street of Transverse. Giardo and the rest of the staff were fantastic and the food was AMAZING!

Service: was very good, especially by Italian standards. It was pretty busy and the waiters were still attentive and very nice. We sat outside and it was actually quite uncomfortable for my family as the outside seating is on a total slant. We just felt as if our chairs were going to fall over with one wrong move. Even the tables were little wobbly. Food: not good. Straight up...not good at all. Not by our standards. I didn't want to go here to begin with bc as soon as we walked up, there were just too many tourists (and not the kind that appreciate quality food). But, everyone was starving and didn't want to walk any further. Actually the Roma artichoke appetizer was delicious. It was everything else that was subpar. Really for unknowing tourists. Bathrooms were super clean though! And yes, as some other reviewer(s) stated, it is quite loud with the music, but you get used to it in few minutes. 3 stars because the service was good. And as we were leaving the waiter came over to me and seemed concerned why we didn't eat all of our food and if everything was okay. It's not his fault that food not great. read more

Today we decided to explore Trastevere, an area of Rome which, for NYers, is similar to Williamsburg. So basically, older buildings and structures, cute shops and interesting restaurants. For lunch, we decided to check out Cajo & Gajo and we're not disappointed. We stopped by for lunch to a clean, fun, outdoor atmosphere (it never gets old to watch the waiters chase the pigeons away) and a fun staff. We had the baked eggplant entree, Cajo & Gajo pizza and the fried (Roman) artichoke appetizer. All was great. The eggplant had a great flavor to it, while the various ingredients in the pizza mixed nicely. Everything was flavorful and satisfying, enough that I want to go back soon! The restaurant has a fun, very Italian atmosphere. The staff is super friendly and rather attentive, which is rare in many places in Rome. Our waiter was Enrico, who was super cool and fun. They even have us complimentary Limoncello shots after our meal. Highly recommended!!! read more

I loved the airy, traditional Roman style pizza. I got the one with artichoke, ham, egg, and olives, which was a pretty solid choice. The servers were also extremely friendly and accommodating. read more

We tried this place on our third day in town. Two rooms, one for tourists and one for Italian people. Avoid it if you can. Dissatisfied overall, and the food was mediocre at best. Go next door to the other restaurant, you will be better off!! read more

Just walking around and found them by luck. Incredible food. Service was fantastic by Pietro and Eris. The food ( Fried Artichokes Cacio y Pepe and an antipasto with tomatoes, radicchio and mozzarella di búfalo was out of this world. Prices are very, very good and a lunch for two with beer cost us 34 euros. Do not go there without trying the fried artichoke. Cookies and a shot in the end for free is just the right touch. Thanks Pietro and Eris. read more

We just walked through some random streets until we came across this sweet little piazza with 2 or 3 Restaurants. Choosing the one with the prettiest lighting and some (pop?) music we sat down outside.. luckily! This was the best pizza we had during our trip! Try out Pizza Cappriciosa or Salami and you won't be disappointed! The staff was super fun and friendly but also super slow and sometimes not even present for like 15 minutes so there was no one to ask for anything... We waited about half an hour to ask for the bill and another 20 minutes to get it ;-) otherwise it would've been 5 stars for sure. Great food, great vibes, cozy place and fair prices! Cheers! read more

Cajo & Gajo - Best Pizza in Trastevere - Pizza Near Me - Roma, 62

One of the best and cheapest restaurants we went to during our 4 day trip to Rome. We wanted to explore the trastevere area and got the taxi driver to drop us off at the Santa Maria church. Cajo and Gajo was the first restaurant we spotted and boy are we glad we did. Cajo and Gajo seems like a trendy restaurant in a trendy neighbourhood. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed, food was cheap and delicious, and drinks were pretty inexpensive too. We ordered some famous Italian rice balls which id been dying to try (EUR5), Roman artichokes which turned out to be oily crispy flakes which I didn't enjoy too much (EUR5), and a huge delicious pizza with all the trimmings (EUR8). I ordered a passion fruit mojito which was the best cocktail ever while my bf ordered 2 glasses of red wine (he said it was the second best wine he had in Rome). Drinks service was pretty slow though and my bf got his second glass of red wine after we had finished the meal much to his annoyance. To finish off we had vanilla ice cream soaked in coffee and baileys which was freaking delicious. The total bill came up to around EUR37 which isn't too bad for Rome. This was definitely my favourite all round restaurant. read more

If you're looking to have a good time and enjoy a fun loving wait staff then this is the place for you. The perfect mixture of good prices, a great staff, fun atmosphere, and delirious local cuisine. Waitresses Padla and Ilaria were very kind, helpful, and cheerful the entire night. Highly recommend the lasagna bolognese or any other red sauce pasta dish. Overall, a great place to bring the family, friends, or have a romantic date night. read more

Came for a quick lunch. We were sat very quickly and did not have any problems with the service like other yelpers. They werent too busy and everything came out quickly. They even helped us with our bags. The pizza was good not great. There are better pizza places. We also ordered the meatballs and those were very good. I would recommend those. They also sold us on getting the breadsticks which were a good addition to the meatball dish. read more

We stumbled on this place when the place we originally had yelped was closed. Cajo & Gajo happened to be next door so we decided to take a table outside. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. There seemed to be a good mix of tourists and locals. There were also English menus... We ordered the pasta carbonara and a pizza with prosciutto. Both were delicious and the pizza was so FRESH. The combination of the freshness of the cheese and the olive oil is almost indescribable! Very good prices at around 8-10 euros each. We ended the meal with complimentary lemoncello which was a nice touch. Definitely our best meal in Rome! read more

Excellent Atmosphere and great food First of all, Trastevere is a great place to visit when in Rome. Totally different feel. Cajo e Gajo is a great example of the area. Food is inexpensive and very tasty. We didn't even mind waiting because its an interesting little intersection to people watch and they serve you free champagne while you wait. read more

We came here just for a light bite and tiramisu. The waiter at the front was super nice and friendly and offered us some champagne while we waited for a table in the outdoor patio area. Once seated, we placed an order of the bruchettas, tiramisu and some wine. The bruchettas were HUGE! We're use to the little bite sized snacks in the states but these are 3 big slices of toasts with 3 different toppings, all of which were really good. The tiramisu is also fabulous! The tiramisu here is the soft, pudding like dessert served in a cup (not like the cake form in the states). The place isn't super touristy at all as it's further away from the main city sights but still such a cute neighborhood to stroll through! Super affordable and a great way to hang out, people watch and enjoy the sun! read more

Had read about this on another travel site and walked by it the day before to check it out. It was busy at lunch and dinner with tourists and locals alike. Service was very good and very fast. I have nothing but compliments in this regard. We tried the fried artichoke and that was interesting. I never tried it before and was pleasantly surprised by its taste. I ordered the Amatriciana pasta and it was amazing. The soft bacon actually melted in one'a mouth. Ordered the house red and house white respectively, tasty but nothing spectacular. The rosemary focaccia was a perfect mix with my pasta. My wife ordered the homemade ravioli with spinach and was equally pleased. To finish the meal we had strawberries with ice cream and Nutella ice cream. Both were delicious. All for under €50. read more

We had eaten at Grazia and Graziella the day before and seen the line for Tonnarello across the street. We decided to eat there the next day, but low and behold, there was an enormous line at Tonnarello and we decided we were too hungry to wait. Not wanting to think too much or scour reviews, we looked at TripAdvisor and found Cajo e Gajo down the street with no wait! When we got to Cajo e Gajo something felt eerily familiar. The menu was super similar to Grazia and Graziella, and they even wrote cacio e pepe the same on the menu (Pepper and Cheese Pasta instead of the Italian name). That's when we realized that we were at the sister restaurant! Not only that but the place next to Cajo e Gajo was name Nonnarello (eerily similar to Tonnarello). How could it be more obvious! We laughed at ourselves for the ridiculousness (Grazia and Graziella and Cajo e Gajo, Tonnarello and Nonnarello). We couldn't back out as we were already seated and decided to order the lasagna as it was really good at Grazia and Graziella the day before. We also ordered the salad. Both were good, but we were a little disappointed in wasting a meal at the sister restaurant of the place we had eaten at the day before. We would recommend going down the street to a place like Sor Drago Olimpio for more authentic food. read more

Perfect for apertivo. Fun and the waitstaff are wonderful. Right off a main plaza in Trastevere.

We just happened to stop by here on a very jet lagged search for food. The music and good overall vibe got our attention. We sat outside on the patio and people watched.

A friend of mine recommended this great little place in the Trastevere area of Rome when I went there for a couple of days in October 2019. I'm glad I took his advice - this little place was busy but not so busy that I felt like I wasn't being attended to. The service was excellent from the time I walked in until the time I left, and all staff we super friendly and on top of things. All three servers who were working that day served me at some point, I felt very well taken care of there. Very professional yet upbeat, this little place could be considered a diamond in the rough. I had the Carbonara and with a side of grilled veggies along with a glass of Pinot Grigio, and it was delicious! Exactly the experience I was looking for in Rome - something authentic but off the touristy beaten path with an outdoor seating area as well for those sunny afternoons in Rome and a nice view of the Piazza San Calisto. I would definitely go again when I come back to Rome, and I want to give a special shout out to Pietro who made me feel right at home with his good sense of humour and upbeat personality. Thanks for the excellent experience Cajo & Gajo! read more

Love love loved this place! Our waiter Lorenzo was great, he was very friendly and had us laughing and having a good time. The food was also great and my husband and I were both very pleased with our orders.

We had only coffees and desserts there: panna cotta and tiramisu. Panna cotta was great, but could be a little bit more sweater. Tiramisu was completly different than the tiramisu I have in my mind as a proper one. There was no mascarpone in it, but some kind of vanilla cream and the kind of biscuits was also totally different that I'd expected. But finally turned out that it was a great combination and I liked it very much. read more

I came here with my mom and we had a non-expensive delicious meal! While you can get Roman classics (my mom's carbonara was delicious) they also have great salad options.

We had an amazing waiter named Paolo who spoke Spanish for my mother and made us feel at home with limoncello after our meal! Grazie mille. read more

Great service and great food. We were walking in the neighborhood and saw the place. The waitress waved at us so we decided to give it a try. Nice place and waiters/waitresses were friendly. After the meal, the waiter (I believe the name is Francesco) brought us some home made cookies, which was very delicious. The surprise was the innocent looking drinks (looked like lemonade) were actually alcohol. Although I usually don't drink, the experience was fun. read more

It's got a prime location with an upbeat vibe. With that being said they should cut the soliciting on the street nonsense. I felt like they wanted to sell me some overpriced healthcare product that doesn't work. Food was bad. But it was cheap. Service was slow. But it was busy. The music was deafening. I'm 25 and like music but I couldn't even hear my taste buds tell me how bad my pasta was. They did polish off our meal with a few complimentary shots though, so that was cool. They probably did it so I wouldn't come give them a crappy Yelp review. Oops. read more
