Saltimbocca
Gustavo G.

Mostly tourists but also some locals. The feel is so homey. Must be the owner was there talking to customers and working with the wait staff. For starters had the bruschetta. The best we've had anywhere. The tomatoes were super farm fresh. Bread had olive oil and garlic. Dishes are serve in frying pans. The Parmesan was so fresh. We also had caprese salad, pasta gricia, saltimbocca alla romana and scalloping al vino bianco. For dessert we had the napoleon. They gave us grappa on the house after the dessert and coffee. In addition to the salad really recommend the pasta.

We were starving and was in the mood for some italian pasta after touring the museum. Found this restaurant through yelp and glad we visited it. We were greeted by the lovely and jolly Maria, and was served by Giovani . Our server recommended amatricianl and carbonara which were both delicious. We were even given free second entree. This is by far the cheapest yet heartiest and authentic italian food we've tasted.

Bruschetta

Amazing food and atmosphere! Service is also impeccable. This is our 4th time in Rome and we will always make it a point to come here. The owners are on sight and working serving tables and making sure all customers are tended to.

Delicious prosciutto pizza and pomodoro pasta. Cold Pironi and red wine.  What's not to like!?

Nice locally owned and operated streetside bistro. It was extremely busy when we showed up...without reservations. The host made every effort to get us seated within 15 min. After seating, we seemed to disappear from their radar. Finally, after what seemed an eternity, a waiter finally came and took our drink orders and left us menus. What started out badly, I'm happy to say, was redeemed by extraordinary service. They brought us lemoncello on the house. The food...yes the food...a varied authentic menu. We ordered a natural pizza with prosciutto and pasta pomodoro in a wonderful sauce. Our lunch was outstanding, better still, were the glasses of their house red wine to top it off. To complete the meal, they brought us pieces of lemon cake for dessert, on the house! All in all I recommend this restaurant for a street lunch when visiting Rome!!

Unfortunately one of the worst meals we had in Italy. We ordered the carbonara and lasagna. The carbonara sauce was more reminiscent of scrambled eggs as it was overcooked, it was not smooth at all. The lasagna sauce was very tomato forward and the lasagna noodles were overcooked to mush. It tasted like chef boyaradee. We also ordered the scallopine al limone was absolutely dreadful, think expired pork chops. Three small and thin pieces for 12 euros. I have no words. I would never ever come back. 0/5.

My family and I had such a wonderful experience here! The staff made for such a fun time. There was one server, in particular, he must be one of the owners or something. He was cracking jokes and just having a good time with every table. My sister was even fanning herself at one point because she was hot (it was 95 outside) and he came up to her, grabbed her fan, and started fanning her. It was so funny the people around us even had a good laugh. The food here was cheap considering the restaurant is right next to a major tourist spot. While it wasn't the most incredible food I had in Italy, it was still delicious and the portions were large. If I'm ever back in Rome I'll definitely be back!

Great service!! All staff was so nice and fun. Delicious food. Even gave us a free dessert at the end!

pomodoro and amatriciana

If I could give 6 stars, I would! This place was AMAZING! AMAZING food, AMAZING service, AMAZING vibes. After a long day at the Vatican, we stopped this place for a late lunch. We were starving and as a group of four, we shared two pastas. I would say we could've crushed another actually, but I would recommend ordering more and sharing them as they come in large pans to share! We ordered amatriciana and pomodoro pastas, they were both great! They gave us free watermelon slices and limoncello shots! It was a great experience with very friendly service! Loved it there and would recommend everyone come here! Felt like famiglia *side note, they prefer if you pay in cash. there is an ATM across the street

Perfect pizza!

The best pizza that I've had in Rome! I loved the super thin crust and the generous amount of prosciutto and salami on top of the tasty sauce. It was large enough for the two of us to share. The owner/manager...tall guy with a grey beard...made us feel right at home. They offered large wedges of melon free of charge at the end of our meal. They also brought a bottle of lemoncello to top it all off. Those were nice touches. The restaurant is an easy walk from the Vatican. Fortunately it doesn't seem to draw too many tourists.

Food was good. The best thing we ate there was a vegetable stew that came from the house and have no clue how is named. Pizza was ok.

Everyone needs a trip to Italy, if nothing more than to enjoy all of the food…read more When you've landed, you're hungry, and it's not lunch time, and it's not dinner time, you may end up, selling for whatever you can find is open We were absolutely starving, and wanting to indulge in our first Italian meal, what do you do when you're in Italy?! You may want to indulge in pasta or pizza! We walked in, and we were immediately seated. Air conditioning is nonexistent, and on a hot summer day, it would've been cooler to dine outside. had that been an option, and it was 95° out. As soon as we were seated, we were immediately told that Pizza and some of their baked Italian dishes were not going to be available. Boo. The wait staff seemed fairly nice, and offered to bring us glasses of water. The glasses were super tiny, and thankfully the waitress brought over a carafe of water. We asked for a few suggestions, since both of us had been craving pizza, and she suggested the Carbonara. She said it was one of the best dishes. While we were waiting for our food, several other tables were immediately filled up with other customers, families and friends alike. It was interesting that those tables were served pizza... I'll just leave it at that. The carbonara Was anything less than delicious. We both found the pasta to be barely cooked. Not al dente, but barely cooked. The seasoning was mediocre, and there was very little pork, which is supposed to be the highlight of this dish, in this dish. Diners tip: if you are not a local, keep in mind that your version of Customer Service may or may not fit what Customer Service is in Rome. Despite being hungry, I had a hard time, finishing the food, let alone actually eating it. The waitress only came over at the end to drop off the check, and when she noticed that I had barely eaten anything, first gave me a strange look, and then asked about it. It was definitely one of those situations where saying something was wrong would've been met with unwanted attention. This is in a place to add to your must try list... There are plenty of other places, even in and around this area that more than likely would be a better choice.

Bufala pizza with red sauce and lasagna was excellent. Seating was fast and good serviceread more
