If you ever find yourself around the Vatican and want to experience some of the best pasta you'll have in your life, then Egg is a must-visit for you and your group. This shop is more of a countertop order from their limited menu but the menu is executed so well you'll be tempted to order multiple bowls. There are a few stools and table out front to enjoy your food hot. Both times I've been on separate visits within two years, has only shown me how consistent their food and quality is. You can pair your dishes with an aperol spritz or mini bottle of wine for less than five euros. The pasta was about nine to eleven euros and the portions were more than plenty. The chef and owner are super nice and very informative about their dishes. If you are a fan of spice you have to try their chef-recommended dish. They had one dish topped with pancetta and I just about wanted to lick my bowl clean. Everyone in the group was raving how delicious it was. Egg will forever be on my must-have when visiting Rome. read more

We loved this place. The owner was super friendly. Delicious pasta. The Alfredo sauce was perfect. Small hidden place but definitely worth the time to stop by. Fairly reasonable price read more

Stopped by after visiting the Vatican. My husband and I both went for the Carbonara with Truffle. Definitely worth the splurge. Every bite was heaven! This is some of the best pasta we've ever had. Pricing was good too! Service was really nice. There aren't a lot of places to sit, but we were lucky enough to get a table. Since this location is down a side street, there wasn't a lot of traffic so it would be easy enough to eat standing if needed. Would visit again. read more

Best pasta (maybe best lunch) I had in all of Italy. It's so good! I wish they had a couple of tables. Only a few stools for seating. I guess it's more for take-away. read more

Probably the best pasta I have had on my trip. Not super salty and extremely tasty. Good portion size for the price. read more

We were near the Vatican, and my son found this little place on Apple Maps. It's literally a little 'hole in the wall' with limited seating (most of the room dedicated to the kitchen area). But it was really highly rated (close to a 5!). The cashier (probably the owner) was super friendly, spoke English, and gave great recommendations. I had the Pasta Amatriciana (red sauce with small pork cheek chunks). My son asked for a recommendation, and the owner quickly obliged with the Carbonara but to add Truffle. He admitted that added $6.50 (to a $7.50 pasta dish). When my son asked if it was worth it, he quickly said, "It's amazing!". He was right! We had our delicious pastas and drinks for $26. read more

Egg - Pasta Carbonara with Truffles - Italian Near Me - Rome, RM

Wow this place is amazing. In a little alleyway close to the Vatican, with really cheap prices - most pastas start at 7.5 euros. Hint - add truffles to the carbonara and gricia. It's worth it. The pasta is SOOO fresh and the taste and texture is off the charts. The sauce goes well with it. It's like kind of pasta you can't get in the states. And that's really it. The carbonara has really good flavour. Especially combined with truffle sauce. Very friendly staff too. read more

Stopped by this place after our Vatican tour. Place is very small. We were lucky to get two seats right outside when we arrived. I got the cacio e pepe with optional grated truffle on top and it was absolutely delicious. My husband got the amatriciana was good, too, though I liked mine better. read more

Incredibly delicious. Near the vatican and worth the short walk!!! One of the best food options you'll have. Don't get sucked into the very touristy areas with fries on their menus. This is the real deal. read more

The pasta and sauces were top notch. The service was great. The only downfall was it was very small. They have food worthy of a larger place. read more

Everything we had at Egg was amazing! The service was exceptional and the ambiance was very romantic. Highly recommend.

Visiting Italy and wanted to try authentic pasta. There was quite a line and this is a very small restaurant with a few counter seats inside and two tables outside. They make your pasta fresh upon ordering so it can take a little while to get your food. We wanted to try the Alfredo pasta but it was sold out. We ordered the Pasta Carbonara and it was delicious. We also ordered the Truffle pasta which I didn't care for. read more

Food was delicious - especially the Pecorino Cheese, Pepper, and Lime pasta. The service was excellent and everyone was very nice. It is a small restaurant - only ~8 seats inside, but that's fine. read more

We ordered Bolognese over spaghetti and instead it was a tubular pasta that was very al dente. When we questioned the order we were told they change the pasta every 15 minutes. Very little meat, if any, in the meat sauce. Overall, very disappointing. read more

Great food at a great price !! I had the Carbonara which was great and some red wine also good !!

If you're looking for that local magic gem with great prices and better quality, look no further than EGG!! My favorite pasta spot in Italy!! read more

Had a simple pasta Alfredo with fresh truffle grated over. The taste of the food was excellent and although the place was crowded, it was nice and cozy inside. read more

Good food, no place to seat but nice for a quick bite for a fair price. Staff could be a little friendlier but overall would recommend

We first visited here last year and happened to find it after a long tour at the Vatican. My husband said it was his favorite dish in Rome. We came back again this year because we enjoyed it so much. The food is delicious and the owner is so nice. The menu is simple but delicious. It's obvious the food is homemade with care, and it's a great value for the price especially. read more

Simply AMAZING and close to the Vatican! A definite must for some authentic Roman style noodles!

It's ok not bad or great. One thing I don't like is that we ordered first but then another bigger group came and owner asked us to move (space is limited)! We replied that we sat at the table first and then to owner's credit, he didn't persist. read more

We searched them out and were pleasantly surprised! The Food was great, fast and they are super friendly!

Such good pasta, even though it's considered street food! This place is such a good find, and the prices are super affordable. Definitely recommend! read more

Please for the love of all that is holy don't skip EGG. Their pasta is less than 8$ a bowl and it is the best pasta that will ever grace your lips. The food came out quickly and they were incredibly friendly. With a city full of tourist traps, this shop right by the Vatican and St. Peter's is seriously a must. read more

Cheap tasty and perfect location! Great spot before or after the long line in Vatican

Super fresh hand made pasta made to order! It was cheap, quick, and DELICIOUS!! Highly recommend everyone to stop here!

Was right under where we were staying and easily the best pasta I have ever had! Would definitely recommend!

The pasta was LEGIT amazing. We go the carbonara with truffles and I about fell out, it was so good. When I die, this pasta will await me in heaven. There was not many tables but it doesn't matter. Eat it sitting in a puddle. Just go! read more

After spending the morning and early afternoon at the Vatican, my hunger was at an all time high. After searching up restaurants near by, we came across E.G.G. The location is small with a few seats inside. The pasta was made fresh as you order. With each order, you have the option of choose short or long pasta. The staff was friendly and helpful. I'm not a pasta expert so I do not understand the difference between short and long pasta. The guy helped and suggested short pasta goes best when ordering carbonara. The carbonara was delicious. It was creamy and the bacon was cooked just right. The bite in the center of the noodles had a bit of a crunch which made it taste even better. The pasta tasted fresh. It was affordable and I was full after eating. Will visit again when I am back in Rome! read more

We stopped here for lunch before touring the Vatican. Food was good and owner was friendly. Outdoor seating available. Reasonable prices - around 8 euro per pasta bowl. read more

Very good food and very affordable! Highly recommend stopping here after touring St. Peter's Basilica!

The food was excellent and a friendly atmosphere and very close to the Vatican. The prices were great and we left full and happy. A must try ! read more

Fresh, simple, incredibly tasty. Tiny hideaway. You may not get a table but you can still have a seat at the bar outside or a stoop!

E.G.G. stands for his daughters initials not anything to do with eggs as food. Very small place and easy to miss- its next to a Vatican souvenir shop in a narrow street. We had the sausage and muchroom in cream sauce with freshly made fettuccine pasta-this was one of two "off the menu dishes" -the owner informed us when we came in from the rain. I had the cacio e pepe "cheese and pepper" with fresh spaghetti pasta. Oh so good! So reasonable too. If you're looking for fresh pasta with divine sauces in a hurry without the white tablecloths- please stop here. read more

excellent pasta, whatever you choose is delicious. carbonara, pesto, bolognese. everything is great!

Their pasta is good but not as good. Considering the price why probably reviews were over rated.

Had the carbonara with truffles. Excellent pasta (perfectly al dente). Very friendly proprietor, quick service. Very convenient walk from the Vatican. read more

Our first pasta in Rome and we were blown away by the low key hole in the wall that served such delicious and freshly made dishes. We spent the rest of our 5 day trip comparing pasta dishes to this place. Couldn't find anything that was comparable. You won't regret it...enjoy! read more

This is such a nice and easy bite! The food came out so quickly, but was absolutely delicious. It's away from the crowds too, which was a bonus. read more

Incredible pasta and ambiance within a very short walk from the Vatican. Definitely worth a visit for great pasta (I recommend the simple pomodoro sauce as well as the carbonara - bonus points if they have fresh truffle). read more
