    Carbonara
    Jim A.

    First of all there is no place better in Rome for a great meal than in Trastevere. And IMHO there is no place better in Trastevere than Checco Er Carrettiere. This place has been around for ages and is a classic dining experience. No one is outside hawking to get you to come in, a definite sign to not go in. We made reservations and were immediately welcomed and brought to our table. Nick our server has been there for years and was extremely accommodating and offered suggestions. We started with sparkling water and a moderately priced bottle of Chianti Reserva. For appy we had the fried artichokes and fried batter dippped stuffed zucchini flowers. Unlike the Jewish style I've had before these were crispy yet the heart was cooked tender. My wife had the Caico e Pepe and I had to have the Carbonara. They were both amazing and creamy. For our Secondi we had the Stewed Oxtails in sauce and the Veal Scaloppine Al Marsala. Fall off the bone delicious. Were took our time and spaced out the courses, we wanted to savor the delicious meal and the experience and Nick was happy to let us sit and enjoy. Checco was filled with locals sitting in large groups enjoying their meals and company. This is a classy yet laid back restaurant with a ton of history and great food.

    Delicious home-style cooking, the fish was incredibly fresh and tasty and the risotto was the best I've had in Italy. Great ambiance with lots of history.

    Lamb

    This place has incredible traditional appetizers, Roman food I've never even heard of, this was the interesting part of the menu. When it came to my main dish it was inedible. The lamb was full of bone and cartilage had no meet... the only reason why I'm leaving 2 stars is because Cristiano was a generous server on task and very helpful, and the appetizers where interesting and pleasant to eat. The ambiance is quite cool and quite in a very youthful and beautiful part of Roma. Questo posto ha degli antipasti tradizionali incredibili, cibo romano di cui non avevo mai sentito parlare, questa era la parte interessante del menu. Quando si trattava del mio piatto principale era immangiabile. L'agnello era pieno di ossa e cartilagine non aveva corrispondenza... l'unico motivo per cui lascio 2 stelle è perché Cristiano era un cameriere generoso e molto disponibile, e gli antipasti erano interessanti e piacevoli da mangiare. L'atmosfera è piuttosto bella e tranquilla in una parte molto giovane e bella di Roma.

    A total wow! The outdoor garden area was perfect. The fried artichokes were amazing..so different from the Roman recipe.. The pasta dishes were outstanding. One of the best restaurants in Rome

    Absolute perfezione! My husband and I loved every minute of this dining experience. We arrived via taxi and were dropped off about 400 feet away near a street market. We arrived at the hotel and were greeted by the maître d' (who spoke English). We had a reservation that we booked through their website. We were shown to a table that had our name on it. Our server and three other helpers all spoke English. They were incredibly helpful. The food is amazing. We had carbonara and fettuccine. The house red is delicious. The dessert selection was abundant. We selected an eggnog cake (because my husband will eat anything with the word eggnog in it, any time of year) and a Crème Caramel (similar to flan). All of it was perfect. We were there for a little over 2 hours. When we finished, we walked through the street market and enjoyed a park concert by two musicians. I highly recommend anyone in Rome visit this restaurant.

    What a great find! After being in Rome for 3 days and finding only tourist crappy good I was lucky to get this place recommended. This was a great find. The food was great and the restaurant was very lively.

    Fresh mushrooms on display!

    This place is so good! Came here as a recommendation from our tour guide who lives in Rome. The food and service is amazing. Everything is so fresh. I got the home made pasta with wild mushrooms and it was so rich and delicious. The atmoshphere is warm and cozy and I felt like family. Had the most amazing bubbly white wine for only 16 euro and shared a tiramisu with my friend. Great experience!

    My born and raised Roman friend and tour guide brought me here for dinner on my second night in the city. Very authentic and cozy in the Trastevere section of Rome. A bit of a walk, and certainly not a touristy restaurant. Authentic Roman cuisine. The pasta fagioli was superb, as was the fish assortment and grilled vegetables. The restaurant is quite nostalgic, with pictures from the past adorning the walls. Very nice service and atmosphere.

    Cappuccino
    Rafael M.

    We stumbled upon this cafe on our first morning in Trastevere and it became our breakfast ritual for the duration of our time in Roma. Traveling with a 2-year old is never easy, but the staff here was very accommodating and had plenty of breakfast pastry options to keep us all happy. We were the only foreigners in here every morning we stopped by, and enjoyed seeing Romans getting their days started. Solid cappuccino and delicious breakfast breads especially the honey cornetto (an Italian-style croissant relative) that our son could not get enough of! Their desserts and cakes looked amazing, but sadly we didn't make it back in the evenings to try them out. Hopefully next time!

    This was one of the upscale fine dining restaurants that we went to in Rome. As soon as I walked…read moreinto the restaurant, it had elegant decors with dim lighting and a quiet atmosphere with soft music playing in the background. We ordered sea bass fillet rolled in zucchini and honey mushrooms. Fish was tender, soft, and delicious with great seasoning. We also ordered Ravioli with white truffles and it was delicious as well. Ravioli tasted like it was freshly made and it tasted great with truffles. Lastly, we got tiramisu for dessert. This tiramisu was prepared by an artist. Just by looking at the dish, it was very pretty to look at. It was presented on a beautiful plate with thin chocolate cookie on top with sugar decoration and underneath was a creamy white tiramisu. I loved this dish because it was unique dessert with great sweet flavor and great presentation. The service was excellent. Everyone was friendly with great attitude and they are attentive. I think they liked the look on my face every time they brought out the dishes because their presentation was great. Whoever was the Chef that night, I would give him or her an award. This restaurant was unique just like Rome. Highly recommended!

    My husband and I arrived in Rome on a Thursday afternoon from Wisconsin, and our first dinner…read moreexperience was at Ristorante Ad Hoc. We opted for the Roman-style cuisine tasting menu with wine pairings. The service was warm and welcoming, and the ambiance was quiet and romantic. I appreciated the decor, especially the various wine bottles displayed throughout, and I also liked the dishes the food was served on. That said, this restaurant leaned a little too "foodie" for my taste. I also discovered that I really dislike truffles! My husband, on the other hand, enjoyed everything--including my leftovers. The wines were fantastic across the board. I also want to mention the pricing was shockingly affordable for what we got at dinner, which again, included the wine pairing. If you consider yourself a foodie and enjoy creative, thoughtfully prepared dishes, Ristorante Ad Hoc is worth a visit.

    This place was so incredible, we went TWICE during our 3 day stay in Rome!…read more We had tried the other "super famous" Italian sandwich spot earlier in our trip and it did NOT deliver. Pane e Salame, however, was delicious!!!! On our first day in Rome, my husband and I decided to search for a lunch spot nearby (we were staying near the Trevi fountain), and I found this place had pretty good reviews. We got there about an hour after it opened and requested a seat outdoors. They have a tiny patio across from their entrance, but they fit quite a bit of people in it! We initially wanted to order two sandwiches to try more items, but I'm glad we just shared one - they were big and filling! We also had the small charcuterie board to share which was plenty of food for us both. We shared a bottle of rose, and all in all, we paid under $50 (usd) - what a steal! This was the perfect first meal in Rome. The food was incredibly fresh, the service was great, and the outdoor seating allowed us to experience the streets of Rome. 10/10 - would absolutely go back.

    I love this place! My family and I got multiple sandwiches and shared them all. We got a big…read moreplatter of food that was big enough to feed 10 people! Our sandwiches were cut in half and one half was big enough to make the average person full. We got five sandwiches for only about €30! The place was not a tourist trap, but i have to say, the seats at the booth were uncomfortable to me, and the place was a bit small. Sorry i do not have photos. But overall, I would recommend to go here. Amo questo posto! Io e la mia famiglia abbiamo preso diversi panini e li abbiamo condivisi tutti. Abbiamo preso un grande piatto di cibo che era abbastanza grande da sfamare 10 persone! I nostri panini erano tagliati a metà e una metà era sufficiente per saziare una persona media. Abbiamo preso cinque panini per solo circa 30€! Il posto non era una trappola per turisti, ma devo dire che i sedili nel booth (il tavolo con divanetti) erano scomodi per me, e il locale era un po' piccolo. Scusate se non ho foto. Ma nel complesso, lo consiglierei di andarci.
