Exquisite decor and last meal worthy. I came by myself and had a delightful and delicious experience. Five star service and the food just melted in my mouth. I had the pumpkin Tortoli and the squid with a salad. So much food but too good to not finish. Would recommend to everyone. I came by myself with no reservation and they were so nice and were able to fit me in and boy am I glad.
Incredible food, service, ambience, all the things. The crispy egg was fantastic (thank you, Adriana for the recommendation!) as was the ricotta mousse pear dessert. Was recommended by a friend and have to agree - best meal in Rome. Booking a reservation was also very easy - we called and then communicated a bit on WhatsApp. Allora, thank you so much for a lovely evening!!!
We were in Rome for two nights and I saw how highly rate on TripAdvisor Cipasso Bistrot was, and also saw it mentioned on the Michelin Guide website as well, so I figured it had to be good and we needed to try it while we were visiting Rome! We made a reservation online and they reconfirmed their available date and time slots via WhatsApp. They were able to accommodate our time within I believe a 30 minute window. The restaurant is very small so I recommend booking in advance. We made our reservation about a month or two in advance. We arrived for our dinner time about 15 minutes prior to the reservation time and they had our table ready and we were warmly greeted by a manager and shown to our table. For drinks, they have wine by the glass and the bottle. I recommend ordering by the bottle, I believe the most expensive bottle was around 30 euros. The wine by the glass was between 10 and 15 euros. We ordered a bottle of white wine, I can't remember which one, but it was outstanding! For appetizers, we ordered the Crostino Cacao e Pepe (9.50 euros) and it included two pieces of bread with cheese and toppings and it was outstanding! For entrees, my husband and I both ordered the Pappardelle and Duck (18 euros each) and it was outstanding, tons of flavor and a nice portion! A true highlight of the meal! We finished with an apple crumble that I believe was around 9 or 10 euros and was also outstanding! They also brought some homemade cookies on the house to close the meal as well. Service and food were outstanding and I highly recommend!
Food 9/10 The "al dente-ness" of the pasta really bumped up the points here, but the amount of flavoring bumped down the points. Every single pasta dish was incredible in its own way, the combinations of meats and sauces were amazing, and the texture was perfect. The only issue was I had to keep on adding salt and pepper to each one because it just wasn't seasoned enough unfortunately. Nevertheless, the burrata was really unique with anchovies and the beef carpaccio was SO GOOD. Super tender and fresh. Atmosphere 9/10 Loved the dim warm lighting inside. We came around 10pm, and the restaurant was still bustling. Cozy ambiance, a little rustic, and the plates were absolutely gorgeous. I wanted to take every single one of them home with me. Service 8/10 Good service, nothing to complain about :) Everything came out quite quickly, and they always made sure we had water on the table.
We made a reservation for our one night in Rome. There were so many options but I'm so glad we ended up here. They had a nice dining room but we chose to sit outside bc they had heat lamps. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable about the wine list. We had such a hard time picking what to eat but we went with the meat Ragu with picci pasta, pumpkin ravioli, meatballs and bread with pecorino. OMG so delicious, the flavors and textures were on point. For our first meal in Italy it did not disappoint. My husband still talks about the pasta until this day. It was so flavorful and the freshness of the tomatoes in the sauce was amazing. The ravioli also delicious. Rome did not disappoint!
We have been in many cities in Italy over the last 10 days and this meal was our favorite. Everything was absolutely delicious. The neighborhood is also very charming. Our server was Adrianna and she was very knowledgeable about wine and the ingredients in the dishes. I highly recommend this restaurant.
Absolutely incredible! The food was the best we've had in Rome. The staff were kind and helpful (especially with their wine suggestions). We were looking for something that wasn't as touristy, and this was truly special! We're may go back tomorrow because it was seriously that good! Highly recommend!
Nice and cozy, reservation definitely recommended otherwise you may be out of luck depending on standby waitlist. The menu is rather short. But service was good and attentive. The execution of every dish was very good with some better than others. The burrata for an example was excellent but 5.50 euro extra for the tiny mullets seemed a bit much. The pasta dishes were very amazing with a good texture. We didn't order a tiramisu but saw another table did and it seemed like the creamier type which we don't like as we prefer our tiramisu more eggy. Overall it's a great restaurant that I would recommend if you're in the area. But I wouldn't go out of my way specifically for.
To start off we made reservations. We wanted to change them and were told we only had a two hour time slot so if we moved them later we would have less time to eat. We also had asked if there was a dress codes we were told shorts were a no and that we should not wear t-shirts. We showed up and we're promptly greeted by the hostess and stay down next to a table of two that just starred at us the entire meal. We were dressed in a nice shirt and pants. The man was dressed in shorts. Almost every single man and some women we saw get seated were just wearing casual attire. Shorts and a t-shirt. It was 90 degrees out and we both would have rather worn shorts . Anyways . We ordered a little bit of food as we honestly were not that hungry. We got the meat and cheese board first and a bottle of Moscato. The meat was good to me the cheese wasn't my type of cheese as it was from a goat a sheep and a cow ( three different ones) but all local . I ordered meatballs and he ordered a ricotta ravioli. The meatballs were ok but they really lacked flavor in them even just a hint of salt. The ravioli tasted good . All in all it was just an ok meal and especially for a place being a Micheline star mention i really expected more

Wow, amazing Italian restaurant! You will need to get reservations for prime days! Walked in, and you can smell the goodness that will be served you! As in Italy we started off with a bottle of wine. Very nice. Our waitress was knowledgeable and friendly, and offered great selections. She told us that we were lucky because they got in a few White Truffles. And suggested to switch out the Black Truffles for the White and we did. Yes, there was a small up charge, but these are White Truffles! I ordered the Lobster Linguine, wow great flavor! Also got the Tagliolini with White Truffles and the Amatriciqna Al Cesannese all were Amazing! This restaurant was one of my top 2 restaurants that we ate at in Rome! The Service and Presentation was on Point! If you are visiting Rome this place is a must try! Cheers read more
We had gotten a reservation before getting to Rome and it was a great find! I tried the gluten-free beef ragu, and it was a different take on ragu, but it was delicious! The gluten-free pasta was just as good as regular pasta. I also tried the meatballs which were really flavorful. We got tiramisu for dessert and it was one of the best ones we had our whole trip! So much coffee flavor! The staff was helpful and attentive. The only minor issue was that it was very warm in the restaurant, but it is definitely still worth visiting! read more

It was simple to get a reservation here for lunch, but there was honestly a decent amount of space for a walk-in party as well. It feels very home-y inside but also chic. The service was super nice and they were accommodating for a vegan diet as well (off-menu). They made a spaghetti pomodoro as a vegan dish and also removed some unfriendly vegan things from other dishes. Complimentary olives at the start was also a nice touch. Cacio e Pepe Crostino (€9) - this comes with two pieces, which makes it perfect for sharing. The sauce is pretty thick/heavy but delicious and tastes just like cacio e Pepe. Super filling appetizer. Amatriciana al Cesanese (€14.50) - delicious, bacon was perfectly crispy. This was also super filling and a good portion size. Pasta cooked perfectly to al dente. read more

EXCELLENT!! There are over 10,000 restaurants in Rome. CiPasso is currently ranked at #14. The service, the food, the ambiance and wine was just perfect! Everything was absolutely delicious! We ordered: burrata cheese with the tomato tartine truffle pasta Duck pasta Meatballs Highly recommend this restaurant! read more
This quaint bistrot located centrally in Ponte neighborhood of Rome is the perfect date spot for lunch or dinner. The warm atmosphere is cozy and intimate. The service friendly and prompt throughout. Nice selection of wines. Food menu may seem small in selection however based on the selection of dishes we tried, the items offered are bursting with taste and flavor. We started with SMOKED FISH CROSTINI... with a cucumber dill cheese spread, still dreaming of the delicious flavor. Next, we shared the BURRATA... which was served on a bed of greens, red cabbage, a delicious light vinaigrette dressing, and topped with a prosciutto crisp. We also shared the OCTOPUS, *my must order dish anytime I see it on the menu*... this one was one of the best I've had in Rome. Perfectly cooked inside with a crisp outside, paired perfectly with the puréed squash & potatoes it was served with. No reservations accepted for lunch... recommend coming at, if not close to, opening time to hopefully endure no wait time. Little bit about the owners, we learned during our time dining, like I said they were very kind and friendly...though not originally Roman or even Italian, they have lived in Rome for about 20 years and this spot has been open about 2-3 years. Highly recommend this place for tourists and locals. read more

CiPasso is such a lovely restaurant -- a must drop in for great food if you're in the area!! A must try from us is the Cacio e Pepe crostini (toast). I've never had anything similar to this in the states, and the restaurant is known for its crostini so at the very least, try some type of variation of it. The Cacio e Pepe crostini particularly is topped with a creamy Cacio e Pepe sauce, with two slices of pears sprinkled with walnuts. One bite into the toast gives you a taste of the perfect harmony between creamy and sweet. For pasta, I recommend anything with a tomato based sauce since the tomatoes in Italy are out of the world! However, the Cacio e Pepe ravioli was also really tasty as well. The restaurant is also known for its slow cooked meatballs so if you have room, definitely try that out. Definitely drop by here for some tasty Italian cuisine!! The restaurant has a beautiful ambience for dining and it's perfect for a date night or any other type of occasion. read more

We had a wonderful and extremely delicious meal at CiPasso. The Chef's burrata was the most tasty I've ever had, and the pasta was divine. Full of flavor but not overwhelmingly so. Our service was impeccable. Nice outdoor seating and easy to make a reservation. Highly recommend! P.S. CiPasso, if you read this, our server was a very nice man with a cool lip piercing (didn't catch his name). Yes him- GIVE THIS MAN A RAISE. Best server I've ever had in my life. read more

4.5/5 stars for me! My husband and I had a really great experience at this restaurant and became friends with the couple next to us. We started with a great salad and cacio e Pepe ravioli. For our mains we split the octopus and meatballs with a side of spinach. Gosh, I really loved everything and I'd return! read more
