Plenty of food, drink (alcohol and otherwise), atmosphere, and italian friendship. We enjoyed our experience here and said "si" to everything. We left full and happy. read more

Do yourself a favor and go to this place. The food is amazing. Just have Dino bring you out whatever he recommends. The house wine is amazing as well. The antipasta is a must try and so is the pasta. It's what Italy is all about read more

If you are a local and knows what pasta you like, this place is reasonable. If you are a TOURIST, cant speak italian, unless you are a fan of Roman style OMAKASE, and you are not given any menu, the only words you are told when you sit down is "Appetizers" and then "pasta", followed by "Meat" in a aggressive style, giving you not much choice and most probably you are too polite to get out and decide to go with the "flow". For 2 people for lunch, we have anti pasta (i.e a plate of flat bread, dough, some cheese), two pastas (one with minced meat, and one is ciao pepe), two plate of meats (one with veal slices, and 4 meatballs with marinara sauce), desserts not of your choice (tiramisu, frozen coffee size and a plate of small broken bites, nuts, and cookie base with some jam), a bottle of water. Bill = 75 EUR Meanwhile, you see locals come and go, without doing the whole "omakase" and they probably paid less than 20 EUR for a plate of pasta and wine. Be your own judge. Pasta is decent, the rest... not that great. read more

I'm probably going to lose credibility by going against the grain but this place ain't all that and I'm baffled by the high reviews. We ate here after reading an article somewhere online and rode the hype train only to be let off at a disappointed stop. This place has a prefix menu so we started with antipasto which consisted of some prosciutto, salami, fried olives, fried artichokes some kinda flat pizza concoction which was part eggplant and other part cheese. Then we had the pasta course which was 2 bowls each, one carbonara and the other some kinda red tomato sauce dish, the tomato sauce dish was actually pretty good but typical rigatoni with tomato sauce. After that we had this overly dry meat dish I couldn't finish and my partner had this fried fish platter. We topped it off with 4 desserts 2 pastries and this cheesecake thingy and a whip cream coffee drink... I will say the whip cream coffee drink was omg good. All this and 2 little pitchers of wine cost us 80 euros. I think this place is popular because of the brothers, they're pretty entertaining but as far as food is concerned , there are far better places. read more

For authentic- this is as good as it gets. We went for lunch after out morning Vatican tour and were immediately made to feel welcome, even though Dino and tony were still having their lunch! We speak zero italian, and had no idea what we were getting or how much it cost. We did learn "uno for due" which is what you want to know when you eat here. 1 meal for two people. Eat everything they offer, but share. That is the best advice I can give. The food is phenomenal, especially if you wash it down with the wine. For dessert don't miss out on the Marsala to drink. They bring you a whole bottle and get very upset if you don't attempt to finish it. Really an awesome place to eat in Rome. Oh and by the way- we were there for 2 hours, are and drank to our hearts contention, and the bill came to under 50€. read more

Amazinng food and great staff. Went twice during our stay in rome. Recommend it all on menu. It was recommended by a friend who suggested we have staff just serve us and it was best decision. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

The most incredible meal I have ever had in my life! 3-4 hours of eating the most flavorful, delicious, epically Italian food there is! It's worth every penny! You walk in, and are greeted by Dino or Tony, there are no menus, they just bring you food. It's the most worthwhile experience you can have while in Rome. The Pantheon is a close second. haha. They speak only Italian, but when the language for the love of food is universal with "MMMMMmmmm's" and "Oh My God!"'s, it's totally understood by everyone and anyone! I recommend all my friends traveling to Rome to go here. INCREDIBLE!!!! Mangia! read more

5 minutes walk from the Vatican Museums. The door to the restaurant is unimpressive. Just open it!! Enter. Be greeted and be seated. You MAY ask for a menu, but better NOT. Just go with the flow and you will enjoy excellent food combined with inimitable hospitality. From the starters to the complimentary after dinner drinks (if you behave well), it is a joy -- you are sad when you leave, unless you can return the following day. The best of Roman cooking, the better-than-best experience. Smile and be cheerful. You won't be able to help it. A memory of Rome that you did not expect, and that you will cherish. read more

This is a must go!! This is our second time here this week. The food is great and the atmosphere is awesome. Just say "Si" to everything...trust me. Oh! And bring your appetite they will demand you clean your plate and there are plenty of plates to clean. Enjoy! read more

An average diner with some highlights. Perhaps this is a typical Roman trattoria, but i was not impressed. There were many Romans here but the service was perfunctory and the food average. The "typical" fried antipasti were odd and not great. And the pizza with green beans was strange. The pasta carbonara was under cooked while the carbonara was overcooked. The maialino was perhaps the only outstanding part of the meal. The house white was horrible and the bottle of rosso di montalcino was undrinkable because it was too hot. We had to ash for Ice to cool it down enough to drink. I would not recommend this restaurant nor would i return. read more

June 2018 A Week in Rome to Celebrate Our Wedding Anniversary Booked ahead (a necessity) Beautiful Waitress got Us a Table near the Door as the Weather was Hot even late at night. A real Family Affair Toni & Dino are Brothers their Children are the Staff. We decided to allow the Staff to choose typical Roman Food We selected House Red which was excellent Guancalle Pasta lovely (cured pigs cheek) another pasta dish a decent Antipasti Frito Misto & a Huge Pork Chop were terrific. A rest was called for then Great Coffee a platter of pastries a Brilliant Custard dessert Grappa Limoncello followed We chatted to other English speaking Diners & had an interpreted chat with the Proud Proprietors. Packed with Italians not a gimmicky Tourist trap. We found the Evening flew by in a Glorious Warm delight. Four Hours of Noisy Good Company Authentic Roman Food. The Bill was most reasonable Wife & I could find no fault with a deservedly thriving Family Business. read more

Generous Dino and friendly Tony .The restaurant runs by two brothers and got 20 years history. The start pizza bread was so crispy and we just can't stop eating !We had pasta for lunch ,it smelt amazing and unforgettable .I will go there again if I have chance to go back to Rome some day. read more

Great fun! Not a tourist trap, but very much a place to visit early in one's visit to Rome. The local people eating seemed to know how to order their own choices, but Dino otherwise will choose spontaneously what you are to eat - and he can't miss with the wonderful food they serve. And the price is very reasonable. read more

The best authentic restaurant in Rome. Waiters singing, while running around serving the best Italien meal i've ever tasted :). Me and My family is looking forward to come back.... read more

Worst food experience in Italy so far :( Good anti-pasta, bad pasta and no wine costed 90€ for 2 adults and 2 kids that together eat half of what an average adult eats. PLEASE STAY AWAY!!!! read more

This was a great "local" experience. Off the beaten tourist path, yet only 3-4 blocks from an entrance to the Vatican. If you were just strolling, you might pass this one by & you'd be making a big mistake. Frequented by locals, no menu offered, and the food was outstanding! Upon being seated, we were asked, "red or white?" We were then served an appetizer, then a first course of delicious pasta-of-the-day, & finally were asked which would we like for second course, "meat or fish?" No further explanation & none needed. The food was wonderful, and dessert simply delicious as well. Topped off w/ an offering of something called "Zibibbo" from Sicily, an after-dinner digestive. Our only complaint was that we couldn't "name" what we were eating other than to say it was delicious. We had the "Menu a prezzo concordato," and it was what an adventure from the start. This was a 2-hour lunch experience to remember & was well worth the effort to find it. While not a "first class" restaurant by any stretch, I would seek out this restaurant again if in Rome. read more

Well this was quite the unexpected experience!!! Started with a warm prego, prego from Toni....finished w/Lemoncello(s) from Dino. Never saw a menu, never even took a picture of an entree, the 4 of us were engulfed with the experience and the hospitality. We chose this local based upon both the Yelp reviews (Rome is just catching on w/Yelp, most restaurants have only a few reviews, this was almost an order of magnitude (well half for certain), coupled with our hotel owners Recco...a good bet and we were certainly not disappointed. It got to the point were we had to say 'uncle', it just kept coming...even then dessert and Aperitifs followed, all for a very reasonable bill...molto grazie!!! (To my fellow Yelper Rich S....add this baby to your must do's. . Goodnight!!! read more

great spot for dinner. portions are huge and they hook it up. they love Americans and you might even get free dessert. try the chicken parm. read more

If you are in Rome and near the Vatican, this is the place to go for a casual meal. Excellent food, great, friendly service and great value. A must. read more

This was the best Italian food we had in Rome. Absolutely delicious and loved the atmosphere of the place.

Very disappointing. We came here due to the well Loney Planet and Google description, and ordered by the Cook recommended Antipasta. Served were fried croquettes and a thin small pizza with cheese. Every 5 min. we were interruped and asked to eat. For 2 wine, 1 bootle of water and the Antipasta we paid 30€. Definiatly not worth it's money. We left without main course. I can't recommend it. read more

This is a fun restaurant with great staff. The sign says "Hostaria Dino e Toni" and I'll have to check back to see where the confusion might be about its location. Dino and Toni are two hilarious brothers that are eager to communicate with you if you don't speak Italian - and if you do know the language, it's even more fun. For dinner, my family of four sat down and accepted whatever dish they threw at us - which is a lot. I've seen menus around but to my knowledge they usually serve whatever's in season and available that day. I'm a vegetarian, and after some banter they were very kind and made sure I had enough to eat. The portions are huge and come in multiple courses - it's nearly impossible to finish everything. But everything is fantastic! This is definitely a place to visit while you're near the Vatican. read more
