This is our first trip to Rome and we were fortunate to have walked by Er Faciolaro and talked into a sidewalk table by Daniel one of the family members who run this restaurant. He was wonderful and made you feel very welcome. Johnny was our waiter. He was very friendly and attentive. His recommendations were spot on. We had their aged steak and catch of the day specials. Both were delicious. We were treated to limoncello and small pistachio cream filled pastries for dessert. Excellent!!! Several couples around us said this was one of their favorite restaurants in Rome. We'll go back to have their pizza which looked and smelled wonderful. read more

This place was delicious. Small and cute and quaint and the staff made us laugh so much when they greeted us outside. Service was very good as well and they listened to everything we wanted in our meal. Pasta was so fresh and delicious and I could not stop eating the cheese they had here as well. I wish all food tasted this good back in the United States, I loved everything so much!! read more

Go go go to this place when in Rome. The food is superb and delicious, but what really made it special was our server, Omar. The ambience is nice because they sat our party of 9 inside in the back. We ordered the special of the day - filet mignon with mushrooms and cheese which Omar finishes table-side as shown on the videos. The Amarone wine was excellent as well. We all enjoyed it so much. Until next time read more

We stayed around the corner from Er Faciolaro both times we've come to Rome. This trip, we ate here 4 times. Everything we've tried has been delicious. My favorite is the lasagna. It's so creamy with plenty of cheese and meat sauce. We've had seafood pasta , fettuccine ala bolognese, spaghetti and meatballs, roasted potatoes, sautéed spinach, salad and crème brûlée that is caramelized at the table. The staff is amazing, friendly and responsive and the atmosphere is like eating with family or friends. I've added pictures of the menu. It's reasonably priced, we get a bottle of house wine and our total for two people has been between €75 & €85. read more

We came here as a family on our trip to Rome, and it ended up being one of the most memorable evenings of our vacation. The food was outstanding every plate was well prepared but what really stood out was the service. Daniel went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of, and the whole team was warm, attentive, and genuinely joyful in what they do. As parents traveling with kids, we really appreciated the comfortable air-conditioned dining room and how welcoming the staff was to our family. At the end of the night, we were surprised with incredible desserts that made the evening even more special. If you're looking not just for a good meal but for an experience you'll talk about long after your trip, this is the place. Professional service, amazing food, and a spirit of hospitality that makes you feel at home highly recommend! read more

Great dinner at Er Faciolaro. We started not to go but kept on walking. Glad we did. We arrived and were graciously welcomed. The place was very crowded inside but had a great vibe. As we had eaten here on previous visits we hoped we remembered how good it was. And we did. We ordered lightly...Pasta with a Meat Ragu, an order of Fried Artichokes, and an order or Focaccia. We realized that the pasta dish was going to be huge and it was. Therefore we shared all of the food. The ragu meat sauce was superb. The dish came out piping hot and beautifully plated...not for long. The fried artichokes were equally as beautiful. They were smart serving them on paper on the plate as the paper absorbed the grease they were fried in. Great idea. The focaccia had a great taste but it could have been a little softer for me. But that is me. I like soft bread things. The tastes of everything were great. Complimentary limoncello was served. I could have sat there all night with their homemade batch. Much better than the store bought stuff. Service was great. The whole staff was a friendly as can be. The atmosphere was lively. Lots of groups - a mixture of locals and tourists. Highly recommend and will definitely return. read more

Daniel is the best Best meal in Rome with my family. In a city filled with standard fare food and restaurants that cater to tourists with mediocre food - Daniel's family restaurant stood out. The food is fresh and delicious. We were able to see up close how the pizza was made (Thank you Hassan for the lesson). The Arancini was fresh, crispy and flavorful and we got to see it made by a master Italian chef (it was made from scratch - not something most of the restaurants we've been to can claim). The rest of the meal continued to impress. I especially loved sitting outside watching the crowds walk by. If you can get an outside table it's worth it If you're planning a walk through Rome and want a relaxing and great meal - this is worth your time read more

MAN I love this place... Daniel and Johnny are Awesome. We were in Rome for a week and went to dinner here twice. I had been here 9 years ago and remembered how great it was. YES this is a touristy area. BUT it's not a touristy type meal. The food is awesome. the location is perfect BUT way better than that is the team. Daniel and the guys want you to enjoy it from the food to the atmosphere. It's just a great place to dine. I will go back every time I'm in Rome... read more

When you're in the hustle and bustle of high tourist season around the Pantheon and Trevi fountain, you may want to grab a bite at Er Faciolaro, the place is a little touristy however, the food was very good, service was excellent. It's definitely notches above the restaurants with the placard pictures of food displayed out front. The wine recommendation was excellent. It definitely caters to tourist, but they do a good job. read more

Daniel and his staff were very welcoming and made our time in Rome even more amazing. We had dinner and drinks 2 nights in a row and sat along the open walkway. The limoncello spritz was refreshing and not too tart or sweet. The charcuterie was delicious and the prices were very reasonable considering the portion sizes, quality and location in Rome. This will be on my 'must do' list for next time. read more

This place is definitely catered to Americans but it was still a very good meal with great service by Tony. We traveled with friends with celiacs and dairy allergies and they were able to accommodate and neither got sick (can't say the same for other places we ate). Definitely recommend. Bolognese, carbonara and prosciutto with melon to name a few good dishes and had good wine recommendations! read more

The manager was awesome. The food was fantastic. The ambiance absolutely incredible. Surrounding this restaurant are 50mil tour guides full of herds of white Americans wearing sunglasses, sun hats, and various sorts of polo shirts. After shoving and pushing our way through this miserable crowd, we found a light in the darkness. This lovely restaurant took us in, fed us, let us drink, and then gave us free lemon cello shots. i recommend to all whom seek refuge from the Roman sun read more

My wife and I walked 30 minutes from our hotel to have dinner here for the 2nd time! The staff are wonderful and kind. And the food is delicious! I absolutely would recommend this to anyone read more

First of all, the ambiance was get sitting on the cobblestone street on a very popular street. The service was amazing. Tony greeted us with a great table, then Beckem, the waiter just treated us so well. All suggestions we're perfect. He brought us out with such great presentation and personality. Made a birthday dinner very special. Desert was brought out and sang with the other waiters. Lots of extras too. The food was prepared to perfection and the most delicious meal we have had in Rome. Can't tell you enough but this place is a must do while in Rome. Thank you team and Beckham. read more

As soon as we walked in we were greeted by a real friendly waiter. He showed us to our seats and immediately gave us champagne on the house. I got the lasagne. Best I've had my entire life (don't tell my mother). At the end of the meal the waiter brought us out limoncello again on the house. I highly recommend. read more

Located on Via dei Pastini. A very busy pedestrian street. This was our only pizza dinner in Rome. There other food looked good. But we needed to have pizza in Rome. We split a margherita pizza. The crust was very thin and crispy. Lots of flavor. We each had aperol spritzes. read more

The food was amazing and the service was great. Perfect location and surroundings. Best food we had while on our European trip.

Went here for dinner last night. The service was amazing. From the moment we walked up until we got up to leave the staff was attentive and friendly. It started with small flutes of Champagne. Then, we tried some bruschetta with olive spread and an order with tomatoes. They were tasty. For the main dish, the 4 of us tried 2 different pasta along with the lamb and a special steak with slices of Parmesan cheese and mushrooms on top. All of the dishes were outstanding from the first bite to the last. We skipped dessert but they brought us limoncello shots to round out the meal. Great place, great food, and we highly recommend them. read more

Run away from this restaurant. The worst food we had in Rome in a week. The server who lures in customers -- like a used-car salesman -- thinks he is funny, but he's overly obnoxious with his repeated use of "Mamma Mia!" ¡Huyan este restaurante!

Wow, this place is amazing. Tony and Johnny are professionals at serving! It's obvious that they treat this place like their own. The service was amazing and the food was the same. Incredible. Although in a very touristy area, it didn't feel rushed and you were made to feel welcome and part of their family. I highly recommend this place. Great English speaking staff but try your Italian out. It's obviously these guys take pride in their work. Food service and cleanliness 5 star! So close to the Pantheon and Trevi.

I went to this restaurant with my family about 8 years ago. It was so good that we went back to back nights because of the ambiance, food, and service. Danny was so memorable and made this part of our vacation one of my favorite memories. I enjoyed it so much 8 years ago, that I ended up taking my boyfriend here when we went to Rome a few weeks ago. The food was just as incredible as it was 8 years ago, and the service was even better somehow. They make it such a fun and inviting atmosphere that you end up talking to people at tables around you. We ended up spending almost 2 hours here and enjoyed delicious bruschetta for an appetizer, 2 different pasta dishes, wine, limoncello, and tiramisu. Most restaurants in Rome have great food, but very rarely do you find a place as inviting and wonderful in terms of service. A must try! read more

If you are seeking a real tourist trap with horrible food, this is your place. The waiters are so obnoxious, and trying to get you to pay for food that is even worse than Olive Garden. Do yourself a favor and don't go there! read more

STOP- READ BEFORE YOU GO HERE. We originally had plans to go to another place however they were unfortunately booked and we decided to go here due to the reviews. PLEASE DO NOT GET TRICKER BY THESE "POSITIVE" REVIEWS. If I could have given ZERO STARS I WOULD. This restaurant was absolutely HORRIBLE. I ordered the Cacio de Pepe and fried artichoke and my husband ordered a steak with potatoes. My husband asked for his steak to be medium, it was literally raw. The potatoes tasted old and like the oil needed to be changed a month ago. And my pasta was the saddest thing I have ever eaten. It literally tasted like salt and it was drenched in sauce. It was extremely liquidy and tasted like a fifth grader try to cook for the very first time. The artichoke was edible. We ate absolutely nothing except one bite of everything, paid, and got the hell out of there. And when we first walked in the waiter who sat us was extremely rude. He asked me for my order and as I was giving it he started to talk to someone else (absolutely didn't give a shit I was talking) and it went down hill from that point. The moment that I saw that the menu had "fettuccine Alfredo" I knew we should've got up and walked out, as that's NOT Italian and it's an American dish, AKA this is a tourist trap. Please do not be fooled by any of these reviews, save your money, and go elsewhere. So far, we have experienced very great dining experiences, and this was the very worst from our trip. Save your money do not go here. Here are some alternative places that are actually really great... 1. Piccolo Buco (THE BEST pizza!) 2. Pane E Salame (Best Sandwiches and charcuterie boards) 3. Osteria De Fortunada 4. Osteria Barberini 5. Barnum Cafe (breakfast, coffee, pastry) 6. TreCafe ( coffee, pastry, sandwiches,drinks) read more

Food and services is excellent, thank you very much to all staff. I recommend this restaurant to all Rome visitors

Pasta was very salty, tourist trap, do not go here. Catering specifically for tourists that don't know better... If it can afford rent near the Pantheon what does it say about its price and henceforth authenticity. Far better local eateries just slightly farther away from tourist attractions read more
