Excellent food and ambience in the heart of Trastevere. The wine list is extensive and the service was wonderful

This little place was the perfect go to while staying at the Hotel Ponte Sisto in Rome. You walk in and are immediately greeted with "Buonasera!" or "Ciao!" by the bartender on your left. They have beer, wine and aperitifs for "happy hour" around 5 or 6pm and a full menu for dinner around 9ish. There's more seating downstairs and it's a little quieter and more intimate for date night. We discovered our new favorite wine, Tellus, a local Syrah and couldn't get enough of it. Highly recommend! read more

We came here just for a couple drinks, and sat at the tiny bar (I'd say it's slightly smaller than a one-car garage). They offer Aperol spritzes and Negronis for just €5, and open relatively early in the evening. It's a great little bar to sit at and people watch, and we had a great time talking to the bartender, too. read more

Kind of an updated Trastevere trattoria in feel... very family styled and everyone speaks English. The food was pretty good with a ton of well-done updated Roman classics. I enjoyed their wine program the most including getting a chance to head downstairs for a private view of their Wine Cellar... it made for a quite incredible evening. read more

Amazing fresh food. Wine list is so extensive but they are sure to be helpful in finding you one that suits you. Definitely worth going to. The wine bar is great for a small bite & drink while just taking a break or waiting for your table which is what we did. read more

We ate here with friends who were in from Spain, as one of our friends lived in Rome and was befriended by the family (and eventually worked for them for a year) who own this place. They looked after us very well, with some lovely appetizers and great wine. The bread was to die for - home made, traditional Italian style farmhouse bread.. Dinner was awesome - light, tasty and plenty of choices, as it is almost a 'chose your own plates' style... which we loved. We all ate from each others plates to try the different dishes and it was all very good. Our friends spoke fluent Italian so it was easy for us to get a greater understanding of the owner, who came to visit us at our table. She was thrilled we were there, especially with our friend who worked for her and we chatted briefly (despite having to use our friend as a translator).. We loved it, as it is in the Trastevere area, which is very much an old traditional part of Rome, but very hip and trendy. Lots of great bars, live music and little alcoves hidden with treasures.. Just do it - ask they say at Nike! Or in Italian, Fallo.. read more

We had a fantastic dinner here. It's a totally unassuming doorway, with a teeny tiny bar when you first walk in. You absolutely think you must be in the wrong place. If you keep going, so does the restaurant, on and on, for what must be a block, with lovely little dining areas along the way (the best area is towards the back in my opinion). Service was fantastic, the wine list is entirely overwhelming (though I managed to pick a great Nebbiolo) and the food was outstanding. Definitely worth a stop when you're in the Trastavere neighborhood. read more

While looking for a place to eat in tourist capitals, always go into the small streets that's where the good stuff is! And that is how I got here. This place is really good and the interior is really appealing at least for me, I mean they have an underground cava with soooo many different wines. Speaking about wine, their wine lists are no lists at all, they are more of huge menus! And if you are lost or don't know what you want just ask the sommelier and tell her exactly what you like and most importantly your budget so you don't end up with a gorgeous bottle costing 200 euros. The food is delicious by the way, their lasagna is thin and golden on top and saucy, heaven! I also tried my husband's dish which was pork in beer sauce with potato salad, it doesn't sound very Italian but it was and it is bloody delicious!! Pro tip- for dessert you MUST try the biscotti with vinsanto, a whole new experience and very delicious by the way! read more

My review sits right between the existing two on here - if I could give it 3 and a half, I would. The food was fine (the meatballs), the service polite and helpful, dessert was great (ice cream and strawberries). I don't drink wine, so I felt a little bad that I couldn't take advantage of their large selection. My favourite part of it all was the charm and vibe of the place - I wouldn't mind coming back, and if I get the opportunity, I hope I'm with some wine-loving friends of mine. read more

Went to this place for dinner. It's really really good. I ordered swordfish with oregano sauce, and it was so incredibly delicious that I can't even begin to explain. The food was legitimately so good. They seated us in the covered garden area of the restaurant which is beautiful. I totally recommend this place. Also, if you don't want to choose wine, ask for their suggestions, they're really good at suggestions. Pretty expensive, my swordfish meal was 15€, so be ready. It's so wonderful, the people are nice, the atmosphere is great, totally recommended. read more

We loved this place. It seemed like there were mainly locals at the restaurant when we were there. The food was great and our server was very helpful with suggestions. read more

I stumbled across this little place (the wine bar side) and was absolutely charmed. The food is true Roman food, prepared with the freshest local ingredients, and served by enthusiastic knowledgeable staff. You won't get tourist food here unless you act like a tourist. I had a hearty farro, mushroom and chestnut soup, and the other dishes I tasted at the table (gnocchi and a fish dish) were also excellent. The sambucca sorbet is perfect! The wine selection is incredible and you can get everything from a 10 euro bottle to a 250 euro bottle, all Italian wines, arranged by region and type. And you can look through the floor to the wine cellar. Ferrara is in a charming 16th century building with a little patio that is open in the summer and a very cozy interior in the winter. The other side of the building houses the more formal restaurant, which I plan to visit the next time I'm here. We toured around it, thanks to our very gracious and charming hostess, and it looks wonderful. But even if you only go to the wine bar side, you'll have great food, a truly pleasant environment, lovely and charming personnel, and a really fine experience. Make the effort to find it! read more

I was here 7 years ago with friends and had the best time. They put out a feast and have an incredible selection of by the glass wines - sparkling, white and red. Owner is friendly and very knowledgable. Love this place. A friendly and lively spot in Rome. read more

Wonderful ambiance in the neighborhood of Trastevere. They are known for their gnocchi which is typically not a specialty of Rome. The gnocchi was only ok but my friends had the eggplant lasagna and rigatoni coda alla vaccinara (oxtail) and both were excellent. The entrance has the most charming antipasti bar and wine shelf. read more

Saw the Yelp reviews and decided to try it since we were passing by. Probably the worst service & mediocre food in Rome. The service is snobby and stuck up. Impatient to take our order, charged $3e for bread, wine suggestion was crap. Hubby had Spaghetti Alle Vongole and I had Cuttlefish cooked w/ Artichokes. Both very mediocre dishes. There was nothing I could not have cooked on a Monday night. Not worth the trip to eat here. Not at all. read more

We are there at the recommendation of our concierge. Here is my take: food: good but not amazing. Everything was very fresh. I ordered fish dish and I would give it 2 stars. It was wrapped in a salty leaf. It was so salty I couldn't eat it and I love salt. Service: our waiter was neglectful. I was pretty bummed out, but the cheese guy saw us waiting and came to the rescue. I think there must be better places in the neighborhood. This one was filled only with tourists read more

This restaurant was awesome. The food was delicious, and more interesting than the dishes that typically are found in the small trattoria style restaurants all over Rome. The staff was really nice and welcoming, and helpful too with the menu. Finally, the wine list was truly impressive. This restaurant is worth going out of the way to experience. read more

I only stopped into the small wine bar (seats maybe 12) which is a nondescript doorway off a very busy little touristy square. A rotating selection of interesting wines by the glass, a small selection of nibbles and a very knowledgable server. All in all a great place for a glass or two. I didn't eat at the restaurant but seeing the number of people turned away I would suggest you make a reservation. read more

Lemon tart dessert--must have! The wine is wonderful, huge selection and a great sommelier to help with recommendations. Every course was better than the one before. Definitely recommend! read more

Incredible service. We ordered from their special menu (they also have an extensive selection of typically Roman dishes). I will never forget the sea bream baked in tomato leaves with seaweeds. Or the beef ravioli. Or the dessert with lemons cooked in their skin. Stunning wine list, serving from their large basement cellar. read more

Nice little spot in Trastevere, right in the middle of a busy area. The food was good, and if I was a wine connoisseur I think I would have been in heaven. Good food, good service. read more

We went here on a food tour. The pasta was incredible. We had handmade gnocchi, spinach and ricotta ravioli, and tonarelli Cacio e Pepe. The wine lists look like textbooks! read more

We entered through the bar door and were a bit concerned about the size and scope of the place. They weren't open for dinner yet, so we stayed for a beer and family-style appetizers, just to give them a chance. Our concerns proved unfounded as we were shown to the main dinning room, which was wonderful. Along the way, we saw racks upon racks of wines, which later proved to be delicious. The ambiance, food, drink and service were excellent. Be sure to try the pork shanks. Highly recommended. read more

Our dinner was ruined by multiple failures: apetizers coming before the wine, then the mains arriving cold (btw both plated exactly the same way). Waiting for my dish to be reheated took over 10 mins so my partner finished his meal meanwhile. Throughout the duration of our stay we'd been watching the stuff - well, not mopping floors, thankfully, but very obviously running around making the closing preparations. The sommelier Michaella tried her best to save the night and offred us free desserts. Mine had somebody's hair in it. When we walked out and saw the time, we realised that in total we had spent unbelivevable 2,5 hours in this place! 2/3 of which was unfortunatelly talking to the personnel. So bottomline is: in my opinion these guys just stopped trying after getting so many good reviews. The food wasn't mind blowing either: fried articoke - (never tried, ordered out of curiosity) tasted nothing but oil it fried in. Pasta with lamb ragou - this was no ragou, it's a piece of slow cooked lamb (cooked ahead of time) just mixed with tomatoe sauce, not cooked with it. Meat mains: the cheek, shanks - the cheepest cuts slow-cooked (so obviously cooked ahead, too) drenched in sauce with mashed potatoe on the side. If you are a foodie, you will not find this food refine. Also while Michella took a lot of effort to save the night for us, I would still point out that - on a date dinner especially - it's important to give people a chance to spend more time talking to each other than to a sommelier. read more

Expenisve, but so so so good! Me and my friends chose this place randomly on a saturday night. I am glad we did! The service is fantastic, the atmosphere is calming and attractive, and the wine list is HUGE. In fact, the wine list is 2 large textbooks! I had gnocchi and it was perfect. My friends had fried zuchini flowers and they were amazing as well. The chianti classico we chose went perfectly with our meal. Definitely coming back sometime! read more

Cool space inside an old building with exposed rocks. Conveniently located directly across from Ponte Sisto. Amazing wine list/tome. Upscale Roman food, delicious. Also has sister wine bar. Note: cool funky farmhouse wash basin outside bathrooms. read more

Phenomenal pastas - I was here on a food tour and had the pesto, cacio e pepe, and ravioli. Hard decision, but I'd have to say the cacio e Pepe was my favorite. Great neighborhood to walk around in, but this restaurant stood out from all the others! read more

Best food I've ever had in Italy. I ordered the broad bean and chicory soup and the pasta with potatoes and smoked mozzarella. The soup had an amazingly intense broad bean flavour, balanced nicely by the mild bitterness of the chicory. The pasta dish was a carb on carb delight - the pasta and potatoes were perfectly cooked, and the texture of the dish of a whole was just right. The sommelier suggested a red wine which was the perfect complement to the dish. I went to a few places in Rome recommended by various food bloggers, but none of them was as good as this one. read more

We sat at their sister establishment to have a drink, "La Galliera". Being an Enoteca I expected them to have a great winelist with some nice snacks to pair. No such thing. When I asked to see the wine list I was told they did not have one...curious since in Italy it's required BY LAW. He then proceeded to offer us carciofi alla giudia, when they arrived they were soaked in oil which I expected since its a fried product, what I didnt expect was the fact that the plate they came in was floating in cooking oil of also low quality. 2 wines which were quite honestly horrifying, a prosecco which tasted more like spumante than anything else and a cesanese del piglio which was either badly made or had been opened since yesterday due to acetic spoilage evident on the nose. Another proof that trastevere is a place to avoid, also due to the opening of establishments like this one riding on the name of a once great restaurant now sadly reduced to a shameful excuse for food. You should be ashamed to be treating your fellow citizens like this. Vergognatevi. read more
