    To start off, the food was amazing. I absolutely loved it. It felt soo fresh and flavors were amazing. The waiters to add on were so kind and helpful. They made the entire experience great:) They put so much effort into being kind to the customers and accommodate to their needs. I loved the place so much and will definitely go back. I wish i found it sooner.

    I've had really good meals since I've been in Italy, but this was by far one of my favs. We were seated quickly; and greeted with some welcome Prosecco and bread. I'm always in for some free bubbly . The menu is well balanced with soups, salads, pastas, meats and seafood options. Not only was there a variety but many of each! For my entree I had a lentil soup and penne in salmon sauce. Everything is cooked to order. I personally love my food steaming hot & that alone was really satisfying. The staff was welcoming & attentive. Good location. Please note if you sit outside they do allow smoking. This was my only turn off. Other than that yes yes yes to the food.

    I tried Elettra based on Yelp reviews and it was worth it! We ended up having dinner at Elettra the three days we were in Rome. The food was fresh and delicious. It was inexpensive for the type and quality of food you received. We were served a complimentary glass of champagne once seated. We had the four cheese pasta. Simple and delicious for the picky eaters. The scampi risotto was amazing. We had the grilled sea bass twice. We also tried the beef lasagna. Sooo good. The tiramisu is a must try. The waiters did their best to communicate if you need assistance with menu translation. We had amazing service. The staff worked hard and they were friendly. It gets busy and so you may have to wait but do not leave or get upset, it is worth the wait. Rome charges a city tax and you will see that on your bill. They will also charge for the basket of bread.

    Wine not to expensive but really good

    Took my wife on our honeymoon here it is incredible! The waiter was great, I highly recommend this place. Food was delicious and service was fantastic.

    After a log day we went to have dinner here and man we made the right choice. The people were really nice, the food was superb and the bill for 2 people wasn't bad either. If you're in the area and even if you're not you should come to try this place.

    This restaurant was right down the street from our hotel which was great since we came into town from Switzerland late and were hungry for dinner. They brought us some prosecco complimentary when we sat down. I ordered the lasagna Bolognese and my friend ordered the pasta with bacon and red sauce. Both were fantastic. My lasagna had gobs of melted parmesan on top of a lovely Bolognese sauce. Let's be honest, I ate the whole thing! We shared a bottle of red wine and some sparkling water. Though full, we ordered the tiramisu which was amazing! Service was good, the waiter was a bit slow to warm up, but friendly. We sat inside, though there was an option to sit outside. We really enjoyed the place and the prices were very reasonable, especially after being in Switzerland! Bought some bottles of water next door to take back to the hotel which were only 1 Euro for a tall bottle.

    Such an amazing find. My friends and I were staying very close to the restaurant and after a long day of walking didn't want to go somewhere too far. Stumbled upon this place looking on Yelp and have to say we loved the food, service, atmosphere, and prices of the food. I would recommend anyone to come who comes to Rome and plan to come again.

    Be prepare to be taken advantage of if you are a tourist Pros: decent food, nice outdoor dining Cons: I ordered the set dinner for 18 euro and "large house wine" the server stated our house wine is a a very nice chianti. He open the bottle once again told us how good the wine is. I always assume house wine comes in a pitcher but since it was open I started to enjoy the wine. Fast forward to the bill and the wine was 23 euros!!! More then the meal I ate. I have no issue purchasing the wine had it been recommended (I am on vacation so splurging is expected) instead of a bate and switch. They did the same with the bread. It's 1 euro per person and it's presented as compliments of the house. I notice tables speaking Italian did not have bread basket as only English and other tourist speaking different languages all had bread on the table. Even though the food was decent the way they take advantage of tourist left a bad taste in my mouth. Would not recommend this restaurant. Spend and splurge at another place that is not so shady. 2 star solely for the food.

    I am so glad I came here, the pasta is so fresh and the cheese cream sauce is so good. I ordered the Tagliatelle Ai Quarttro formaggi it is easily enough for two people. I paired it with a glass of house red wine and garlic and olive oil bruschetta. The menu is in English and Italian

When we arrived on a late afternoon, we waited about 10 minutes before getting seated. To start off, we got the Limoncello Spritz (€10) and Aperol Spritz (€10), which were refreshing. For our pasta, we ordered the Fettuccine with Oxtail (€18) and Carbonara (€17). We also wanted to order two more Secondi dishes, but the waiter warned us that the pasta is filling. After we finished the pasta, we did still order the Rabbit (€19) because it wasn't something we usually see on the menu. For the carbonara, the flavor was delicious but not really my favorite pasta shape. It was also quite al dente with a chewy texture. I have to say that the oxtail was spectacular though with its juicy and tender meat sauce. While the rabbit was nice to try once, it was a bit dry with minimal meat. Overall, good spot but nothing worth waiting too long for. Also, I'd stick to the pasta here as it's all handmade. You even see them handrolling them inside. Note that they also charge €2 per person for service fee already.

    10/10 across the board. Osteria da Fortunata is everything people say it is and more. I ordered the…read morecacio e pepe and OMG... hands down the best pasta I've ever had in my life. The pasta was perfectly cooked, coated in the creamiest, silkiest sauce, and the Parmesan cheese was absolutely heavenly. Simple ingredients, flawless execution. I also had the berry cheesecake, and it was just as amazing. Light, creamy, not too sweet, and the berry topping tied everything together perfectly. Pure heaven from start to finish. From the food to the experience, this place is a must when you're in Rome. I'd come back again and again without hesitation.

    Our first meal in Rome was here, and I'm so glad it was here. We arrived on Christmas Eve and…read morewanted a good meal. Our hotel manager had suggested another restaurant, but I was apprehensive to try, but did later, more on that restaurant review in it's own post. I rather did what I should have done throughout the trip to, which is to search google for local reviews. This tactic I found to be much better than to trust American reviews for restaurants to visit from Youtube or even here, just because the American touristy taste tends to favor bland or Olive Garden style pseudo Italian. The real Italian taste is much different and something one needs to develop. I was familiar with European Italian food, as I had said before in other reviews that Mexico has better Italian food outside of Italy. Additionally, the good restaurants here in Italy do not open before 7 PM. If it does or if someone that looks foreign to Italy is outside trying to lure you in, it's a tourist restaurant with iffy flavor. At this restaurant my husband had the Lobster pasta and I had the spinach/ricotta ravioli, and we both were beyond satisfied. We also had the artichoke as an appetizer, and trusted the waiter with his suggestion for a bottle of wine. He must have been some genius because the wine went well with our meal. The ambience was cozy and very family oriented, however, the rain outside made it romantic for us. Another key point for this restaurant and it traditional flare was that they brought out the olive oil and red vinegar for our salad and of course olive oil for our wonderful home-made bread. I'm so glad we chose this place for those of us Americans who understand culinary cuisine.

    Great first meal in Rome!…read more I loved my artichoke pasta dish with bacon, it was a daily special. The amaretto dessert was delicious! Carbonara was super al dente. Seafood risotto was fresh. Grilled radicchio was like stir fried. Dinner for 3 for 77 euros, impressively busy for a Tuesday night. Friendly staff, easy for English speakers. :)
