    Not the freshest lettuce.
    Matt D.

    Please do yourself a favor and avoid this kind of restaurant in a tourist city like Rome. It's so common in Italy to have people who beg you to sit down at their restaurant and this was the case at this place. Very annoying issue across Italy it seems. The real problem with Clemente alla Maddalena lies in its prices and and inauthenticity. It's tourist trap food. Expect to pay at least €10 per plate if you want an entree, and the prices only go up from their. I tried to not spend a ton of money on my meal, so I ordered the fried caciocavallo. It cost €5 and please, take a look at what I received. Wilted lettuce, and maybe 100 grams of cheese. RIP-OFF. Even more price offensive were other dishes ordered to my table. The main courses of pasta were so small and cost about €15 each. Save yourself the hassle. Find a mom and pop trattoria or buy half a kilo of prosciutto di Parma, some fresh mozzarella, and freshly baked Roman bread. Now that would be worth the time.

    This was my first meal in Italy and honestly nothing else I've eaten has compared. I came here with a group of about 15 after walking through the pantheon and trevi fountain. We did not have a reservation but they were able to accommodate us inside by quickly rearranging the tables and chairs. The atmosphere was so cozy and romantic it felt like a very authentic Italian experience. Our server was very attentive and spoke English while also helping us with our Italian. We ordered water and focaccia to start which was more like a pita bread than the soft thick focaccia that I am used to in the states. I then ordered the pasta carbonara with the intention of trying the authentic version so that my next time cooking it at home would be more successful. Yelpers, it was AMAZING! Homemade pasta, fresh herbs, crunchy pancetta, thick and creamy sauce. It was everything I didn't even know I wanted. I would eat here every night to try the entire menu because the meals that the rest of the people in my group tried, looked delicious too. My only regret with the restaurant is that I was too full for dessert but I will be back and will most definitely have positive things to say about that too. Make a special trip if you have to, this place is a must!

    This place is as good as it gets for Italy! One thing there is plenty of in Italy is Italian food. Some are good and some are bad, but Ristorante Clemente Alla Maddalena is one of the best in Rome! We had been recommended to this place by our concierge at the Hotel Cavalier and were very pleased with the recommendation. Everything from the service, the atmosphere, and especially the food was spectacular! You can't go wrong here. I'm giving this place 2 thumbs up and will be recommending it to my family and friends!

    Had spaghetti Bolognese-- loved it, super smooth and authentic tasting. Also it's right down the road from the Pantheon, which I've been able to see part of whilst enjoying my meal with my mother and grandmother :). (try the olives too btw).

    Review # 1200 After…read moresome shopping on the Via cola Di Riemzo, we were ready for lunch. This spot was a Yelp find. We arrived just before they opened at 12:30. We asked for a table outside and the kind lady asked us if we had a reservation (oh oh). We didn't. No problem as we took our pick of one of the tables. Two levels inside with a small Bar in the back. Before we knew it, outside seating was full and inside also filled up-a good sign. We ordered a liter (ended up being too much but when in Rome...) of their house Red and enjoyed it. For starters, we ordered the Fried Artichokes (thick breading and will order the Roman style with garlic/vinegar next time), fried Zucchini and Suppli-Cacio Pepe. The Suppli was delicious and was enjoyed the most. For main, it was Pasta Carbonara (Guanciale )-Proper carbonara and the streak of not having a bad version of this dish in Rome continues. The sliced Beef with mushrooms was also delicious -super tender and thin pieces of beef (medium rare as requested). We asked if the Tiramisu was house-made. Our server answered, "yes, and I am the one who makes it." How could we not order after that?! One of the best Tiramisus we've had. Perfect balance of coffee dipped lady fingers with cream-delicious! Our Server was kind, attentive and full of hustle -she was covering a lot of ground. Don't miss this Gem if you are in the Prati district.

    Yes, it's worth the wait if you go there early. We stood in line at 12:30 on a weekday, as in,…read morelunchtime. We were 2nd in line and waited about 30 minutes. I would wait longer. I had possibly the most amazing chick food pasta a girl could imagine. Girls know what girl food is. The pasta in Italy is just better -obviously. But then put all sorts of girl flavors on it like Lemon and Orange, just lightly enough, zest with a small hint of cheese-..... omgosh. Yes, yes, and yes. Need my hubs to replicate at home. He is going to be busy trying to perfect this. Tagliatelle with orange and lemon parmesan. This was it. It was the best. Everything else we ordered was amazing as well. Wait outside. They don't have a sign telling you to wait, no server telling you to wait. You wait out there, wondering if you're in the right place, but then people stand behind you and you're like - oh! I'm here. This is the place. There are possibly 4 tables inside. It's small. I read about them being rude- we did not have that problem. In fact, they made a mistake and we kindly let them know we ordered something else- they corrected it and were nice about it.

    After a long morning in the Vatican (there is sooo much stuff!), we were on the verge of hangry…read moreand thanks to Yelp, decided to check out BPA (way too long to spell out!). So happy we did as this place definitely delivers. There is seriously like 8 tables in the dining room so expect a wait in line but trust me, it's worth it. We waited outside for about 25 minutes. They do take your order while in line so the wait for food (once you do get a table) is abbreviated. Out of the world pastas and the pistachio tiramisu is seriously out of this world. Inexpensive table wine rounds out a great meal. This is the type of place I love to go to. It's quaint, zero pretense and delivers on its food. A great find!
