    Spaghetti loaded w seafood!!!
    Ellen M.

    I was visiting Rome on my first solo trip. I passed by this restaurant on the way to the Spanish steps and just around the corner from my little boutique hotel. The food I saw on the tables looked amazing. I rushed back bc I know the steps will always be there. I just told them what I was in the mood for and the waiter replied "yes yes. We make however you like!" The service was wonderful but the food was fantastic; spaghetti loaded with seafood!!!

    Killing time before tours we ended up in this part of Rome and decided to stop in here for a quick break. When we originally told them we didn't want a full lunch, but instead a small snack, they seemed bummed, and almost didn't want us taking up a coveted outside table, but quickly changed their mind and sat us. I'm sure they were happy when we ordered more than just a coffee as they were probably imagining. The service here was pretty good (again, once their "mood" changed), and they even brought over the wifi password for me when they saw me using my phone, so an extra star for that. I did go inside to use the restroom and was almost upset we didn't get to sit in there. Small and cozy, but quite beautiful and the bathroom was very nice as well. Since this was "vacation" alcohol was necessary with every meal, so I happily sipped on some prosecco before deciding on proscuitto and melon as my afternoon snack. My step father surprised as all with a bit appetite and ordered ravioli, which he said was the best of the whole trip. My mother went with the more appropriate coffee and tart - afternoon carb fest, and she loved it. For an afternoon pick-me-up this was a great spot for people watching on the busy streets, and I think would be a great spot for dinner as well (given the beautiful interior).

    Pizza Capricciosa
    Cliff V.

    In my preparation for my trip to Italy, there were two dishes my friends told me to look out for and try while there; Cacio e Pepe & Pizza Capricciosa. So after exploring the Spanish Steps I was lured in by a cute Italian waitress telling me about all the foods they have. "We have pasta, we have pizza, fresh fish..seafoods..meats!" It sounded great but what brought me in was that they had the two dishes I needed to try. Seeing how it was the first time I had Pizza Capricciosa and Cacio e Pepe, I enjoyed both dishes. Based on this meal, I actively searched out both of these during the rest of my trip in Italy.(Although Cacio e Pepe is a Roma cuisine) Overall it's a great little place on the Piazza di Spagna.

    The risotto. Looks soggy.

    This was probably the worst restaurants we've been to whole we're in Italy. It wasn't necessarily bad but it wasn't great either. We had roast potato, risotto and lasagne and they were all bad. Such a tourist trap. The roast potato were soggy and salty, the risotto was overcooked and salty and the lasagne tasted like water. We actually came here after reading the reviews and I think I can honestly assume the people who worked there wrote them, except for Dennis, who pretty much summed it all well. There are way better restaurants around the area than this.

    Amazing food. Had the white truffle fettuccine and I practically licked the plate clean. Also had their grilled fish which was just as good. Dessert was a must and the wine deserved a second glass. Will be back to this place for sure. They also ask if you want bread and don't force it (and the cost) onto you.

    Lemon and shrimp pasta

    We ordered a Margherita pizza to start which was delicious and perfect for the 3 of us to split. We each got a pasta dish. I'd say they were okay but didn't compare to the other pasta dishes we've had in Italy. Best one would be the fungi pasta. Also, when I went to the bathroom I saw a waiter come out and do a rinse with water only (no soap). Gross!

    A friend who had been to Da Enzo's told us the line was worth it and the pasta unforgettable…read more We arrived just after opening and were first in line, even though every table was already full. By the time we were seated, dozens of people were waiting behind us. We sipped an Aperol spritz and lemonade while we waited, chatting with fellow diners who raved about the restaurant. On a sweltering day, our kids were starting to struggle in the heat when the owner came outside and gave them mini pizzas breads. It was a thoughtful gesture that immediately made us feel welcome. Once seated, we ordered burrata, cacio e pepe, amatriciana pasta, pork chops, and fried artichokes. Everything was excellent, but the amatriciana was the standout--rich, savory, and unforgettable. The cacio e pepe was silky, the burrata fresh and creamy, the pork chops juicy, and the fried artichokes perfectly crisp. There's a reason people line up for Da Enzo. The food is exceptional, the atmosphere lively, and the hospitality remarkable. Without question, this was our best meal in Rome and one of our most memorable restaurant experiences.

    Overall 7/10. My partner and I got the burrata and bread as…read morean appetizer, I would give it a 5/10. The tomatoes were fresh and juicy but the burrata was a bit thick (referring to the outer aspect). Also the bread was a bit tough. The amatriciana was good, but not worth a 2 hour wait in a line, 7.5/10. Pasta was perfectly al dente, but the sauce wasn't anything to die for. I think you can get a very similar possibly better pasta in Rome without the wait. My girlfriend got the gnocchi pasta, which she said was a 7/10. The gnocchi was great, but again the sauce wasn't anything special Tiramisu, 10/10. This was amazing. It was sweet without being overpowering. The ladyfingers weren't soggy, and had that strong espresso taste. I would come back here just for this dessert. Also if you don't like cramped spaces, probably not the best spot. I could hear the people next to me better than I could hear the person across me haha.

    Super pizza place with a lot of other great stuff on the menu…read more I looked with envy at the other tables who were enjoying spectacular plates of spaghetti with mussels. * * * That said, my pizza was a grand slam home run. Many of their pizzas are quite elaborate With all sorts of exotic ingredients. I went super simple. Gorgonzola. Mozzarella. That's it. Just enough Mozzarella to cut the Gorgonzola and make for a good melt. * * * If you have never had a gorgonzola pizza, you have never lived. Just sayin'. * * * P.S. My lovely wife got a Norwegian salmon pizza. The Norwegian salmon was stacked up high on her pizza As if she was in the World Series of Poker and she was a big winner. I have never seen so much salmon on one plate. After our meal, I made a discreet phone call to the Norwegian embassy in Rome asking them if they still had any salmon left. The woman at the embassy assured me the Norwegian salmon supply was fine. That surprises me given all the salmon that was on my wife's pizza.

    It was a positive Yelp review that lured us to choose this restaurant for our first night meal…read moreafter traveling from USA. So, I felt that I owed a review of my own in appreciation. Being new to Rome, and having walked 20k steps on our first day, there are an abundance of options a for dining. We wanted something classically Rome nearby to our hotel. The Yelp review of this restaurant was sufficiently positive to entice us. Being American, we appreciate the earlier-than-customary dining options. We arrived at 6pm without a reservation. We were seated immediately. The restaurant is intimate and very well staffed. The wood fire oven is front-and-center and the fresh mozzarella is prominent in display. We ordered a bottle of wine ... all options are very fairly priced. This is nice. We started with a Greek salad to share. It was unlike any American Greek salad ... and a really delight. It is early June but the tomatoes and peppers were ripe and crisp and really fresh. My wife ordered the Marguerite pizza; I opted for the Gorgonzola pizza (the effusive review on Yelp was compelling). Both were solid. We appreciate the thin crust and the crisp edged. The center of both, however, was doughy and somewhat undercooked. Looking around ... the restaurant was over 50% full even at this early hour. Most were Americans. We saw a good number of diners with pasta dishes ... and none were left unfinished. Sadly, we don't have any comparisons to weigh (yet). So, I cannot affirm any "best of" citations, it this is certainly a solid trattoria/pizzeria. The staff are attentive and the food served hot and fresh.
