    Lasagna

    Extremely fast but personable service. They will gladly give you more time between courses if you prefer. My husband said his lamb chops were fantastic and the lasagna was good. It is located on a busy pedestrian street near the Pantheon so great for people watching - it can be a bit loud at the outside tables so if you're looking for a respite from the crowds ask for an inside table - otherwise, enjoy a nice meal at the tables outside.

    Caprese the best

    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

    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.

    Cheers!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Mushroom Risotto

    We stopped here on a recommendation from our hotel- Cloud 7. What an amazing experience. We're celebrating our 30th anniversary on this trip and honestly this restaurant has made the extra 2 days in Rome so worth it. Danny is the most passionate owner I have ever met. Johnny and Francisco took such good care of us. Just wonderful people. We went tonight and last night. We had to go back before we leave. Didn't need to find another restaurant. The food was fabulous. Highly recommend the fried artichokes, stuffed zucchini flowers, risotto, carbonara, and probably the best calamari and shrimp I have ever eaten. Grilled calamari with fresh squeezed lemon and parsley. The margherita pizza was so rich and flavorful with a wonderful crust. Enjoy their Hugo Spritz. It is so light and refreshing. The outdoor seating and inside were welcoming and comfortable. The food and the people both rate 11 out of 10. ROMA STRONG!!!!!

    This restaurant is amazing. We've been coming here for the past six years. My youngest son proposed to his now wife two years ago as well. Daniel and his staff treats us like we are family every time we arrive. The food is outrageous. The ambience is second to none.

    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...

    Omar-- best waiter ever!
    Monika T.

    This place is AMAZING! Omar was our waiter and honestly-- he was the best waiter we've ever had! Food came out quickly and was delicious! Our kids loved him so much they are already asking if we can come back for dinner tomorrow! EXCELLENT SERVICE! Gracie!

    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.

    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.

    In 2017 the food was so delicious,  that's why I'm back, October 2024
    Nani N.

    2017 was my first time at Er Faciolaro, the ambiance was beautiful and the food food was delicious!! Now it's 2024 and I had to come back, the food is still delicious & the service is still outstanding! Mario, Daniel and all the staff are very welcoming, friendly & really make you feel at home! I will be back again

    Daniel and our friends!

    I wanted something local, authentic, and no frills for my birthday dinner in Rome and found this…read moreplace with countless positive reviews. We made a reservation online, arrived about 20 minutes early, and they gladly sat us right down. While we were there we noticed plenty of locals eating, chatting with the servers in Italian, and having a blast, which is always a green flag. The menu leans traditional Roman; extensive, with plenty of pasta, meats, and fish. The supplì classico and the cacio e pepe one were both phenomenal. We also had the all'amatriciana and carbonara, and both were divine. After a week traveling through Europe, my husband said this was his favorite meal and restaurant of the trip. It was a top one for me too. We also ordered the oxtail; delicious, but I'm not sure I'd get it again since you get two pieces that are mostly bone. I know that's just how oxtail is, but I was expecting a little more. The panna cotta for dessert was a great choice too. Service was fine, nothing to write home about, but honestly I appreciated how rough around the edges it was. They kept it real; don't come expecting fancy restaurant service. This is a place you go to for authentic food and flavors. We sat outside on the sidewalk, great for people watching, though they had plenty of space inside and even multiple floors. Oh, and the house wine was delicious and a great deal. Our entire meal only came to €70, the cheapest dinner we had in Italy. Definitely try it if you're in Rome.

    Review # 1200 After…read moresome shopping on the Via cola Di Riemzo, we were ready for lunch. This spot was a Yelp find. We arrived just before they opened at 12:30. We asked for a table outside and the kind lady asked us if we had a reservation (oh oh). We didn't. No problem as we took our pick of one of the tables. Two levels inside with a small Bar in the back. Before we knew it, outside seating was full and inside also filled up-a good sign. We ordered a liter (ended up being too much but when in Rome...) of their house Red and enjoyed it. For starters, we ordered the Fried Artichokes (thick breading and will order the Roman style with garlic/vinegar next time), fried Zucchini and Suppli-Cacio Pepe. The Suppli was delicious and was enjoyed the most. For main, it was Pasta Carbonara (Guanciale )-Proper carbonara and the streak of not having a bad version of this dish in Rome continues. The sliced Beef with mushrooms was also delicious -super tender and thin pieces of beef (medium rare as requested). We asked if the Tiramisu was house-made. Our server answered, "yes, and I am the one who makes it." How could we not order after that?! One of the best Tiramisus we've had. Perfect balance of coffee dipped lady fingers with cream-delicious! Our Server was kind, attentive and full of hustle -she was covering a lot of ground. Don't miss this Gem if you are in the Prati district.

It's intimate, cozy authentic Italian charm. The staff here are wonderfully kind and welcoming, making an already memorable meal feel even more special. Show up right at opening if you want to secure a table immediately, as this local treasure fills up incredibly fast! We started with the artichoke, which was quite possibly the best artichoke I've ever tasted in my life. Ubelievably tender and served bathed in rich olive oil that elevated every single bite. The Amatriciana was my personal favorite dish of the night, featuring a rich red sauce packed with a subtle kick of heat and finished with a generous dusting of fresh Parmesan. The stuffed chicken was remarkably tender, juicy, and wonderfully seasoned with delicate flavors that don't overpower. Lastly, the lasagna was everything a classic lasagna should be: wonderfully cheesy and deeply comforting, yet light enough that it doesn't weigh you down. Easily one of my favorite dining spots in all of Europe. I already can't wait for the day I get to return again!

I had possibly the most amazing chick food pasta a girl could imagine. Girls know what girl food is. The pasta in Italy is just better -obviously. But then put all sorts of girl flavors on it like Lemon and Orange, just lightly enough, zest with a small hint of cheese-..... omgosh. Yes, yes, and yes. Need my hubs to replicate at home. He is going to be busy trying to perfect this. Tagliatelle with orange and lemon parmesan. This was it. It was the best. Everything else we ordered was amazing as well. Wait outside.
