    Via dei Cappuccini
    Justin S.

    If you're reading this review, it's not by chance. You're probably searching for the best restaurants in Rome -- and if you hadn't stumbled upon this review, you might never have found this place. Fraschetteria Roma isn't easy to spot, and it's not on a street you'd typically find yourself walking down. But trust me -- you're lucky you did. This tiny restaurant, with barely eight tables, served some of the best Italian food I've ever had. Every dish felt authentic and perfectly balanced, like it came straight from someone's home kitchen ...it might have. The flavors were rich but never heavy, the ingredients fresh, and the service warm and genuine. It's the kind of experience that reminds you why you travel -- to find places like this. No fancy décor, no gimmicks, just real Italian cooking from good people. Truly unexpected, and absolutely unforgettable.

    If there is one restaurant you need to go to during your visit to Rome, come here. Without a doubt, this was the best food I have ever had in my life. This restaurant is very small, so you should definitely make a reservation ahead of time. There are very few tables so it will be tight, but it is so beyond worth it. The service is excellent and the staff is very friendly. You could tell that the staff was passionate about the food. The food came out piping hot and all of the pasta was fresh and homemade. The pasta was so good, that we ordered a second round. The lasagna literally moved me to tears it was that unreal. Please take my advice and do not skip this restaurant!

    THIS RESTAURANT IS A MUST. Stumbled across this thanks to Yelp. I was in my last day of a work trip and had been eager to make my last evening count. I knew I was in the midst of touristy chaff and was desperate not to fumble dinner. What a total sleeper gem. Unassuming, tucked off a Via Vittorio Veneto, just around the corner of a small street, blink and you'd miss it, is this six table slice of Roma in a walk down. Price is unbeatable. Service is on point. An absolute masterclass in simplicity and restraint. I had the bruschetta pomodoro, Tagliatelle with mushrooms and truffles, house made tiramisu with espresso, and two glasses of white (which I ultimately bought a bottle to go home). I only wished I wasn't dining solo so I could have tried more. But, I will say that dining solo was my saving grace to get a table quickly. This was one of my top five meals to date.

    The food was amazing, we got here as soon as they opened. The service was fast and great we were in less than 40 mins

    Amazing experience. Felt very local and intimate. Everything was amazing especially pasta and prosciutto. Lemon cello spritz was a great starter. Recommend a reservation since there are very few tables.

    Small place. Intimate atmosphere. Bruschetta was good. Lasagna and amatriciana were very good. Prices were reasonable. Service was excellent!

    Tiny gem of a restaurant tucked in a side street in the XX September neighborhood. Steep stairs going down from the street so accessibility is limited for those needing it. Extensive menu with delicious choices for appetizers, pasta, first, second courses, drinks, salad and dessert. Staff is small but service is polite and speedy. When I was there it quickly filled up with one person willing to dine on the stair landing so that says something. Seats about 25-30. Short walk to Trevi Fountain, 15 minutes or so.

    I live for pleasant surprises like this one. Almost a literal hole in the wall, they only have 6 tables. I wanted a break from pizza and pasta and went with the nearest place with porchetta. It did not disappoint!

    The food was amazing. The place is small and very fast paced. Definitely not a somewhere you will sit for hours as they keep it moving but the food did not disappoint and I loved the authenticity of the restaurant. So happy we went and will go again next time I'm in Rome!

    It's a quaint little restaurant with great food! Very unpretentious and the service was fast. I had the Caccio et Pepe with truffle and it's heaven! We had the pistachio cake as dessert and it's just oozing with deliciousness. Highly recommend restaurant! It's right by the Capuchin Crypt too!

    Horrible.. honestly so upset that we wasted our time to come to this place.. the pasta was awful!! No Buneo

    The quality of the food in this restaurant is superb with limited space; do recommend reservations. If you have to wait, do so. Better suited for small groups. Don't leave Rome without experiencing this culinary gem.

Crust was light/airy and made for the perfect balance between crust and toppings. Beer and soft drinks were also available. Service was quick and friendly. If in the Monti district, make this stop for reasonably priced traditional pizza al trancio.

Incredible and big so you can totally share it or take your time they don't push you out. There's alcoholic options along with sodas and waters to drink. The owner is wonderful! He refers to his restaurant as his house (so he'd never charge a fee for you to sit and eat there) and his menu items, creations, are his "children." He speaks 6 languages fluently so no worries if you don't speak Italian, he also speaks English, Spanish, French, and then 2 others that aren't Latin based. (He also speaks an additional 2 dialects not so fluently but hey, he's doing well in my book and very helpful to the 4 different couples and families that were in his tiny restaurant while we were there. Eat here afterwards before your Coliseum tour. Also, he's happy to give you suggestions for the area...he recommended a gem nearby of ST Clementine basilica to go check out some newly discovered ruins! It was incredible and we would have never known without him offering. We loved the food so much that we made it our last meal before leaving Rome as well!

Pane & Vino is a tiny sandwich shop near il Colosseo that specializes in local porchetta (stuffed pork loin) and is run by the friendliest owner of all time. He gets to know every customer on a first name basis. I'd go back more to see him than to have a sandwich. Seriously, he's pretty awesome. The menu is simple and focused on sandwiches featuring their famous porchetta so we tried two recommendations from the peppy proprietor. While waiting, I got a miniature bottle of Chardonnay and my spouse sipped a Coke Zero. The Traiano Porchetta sandwich (12€ - 4 stars) is an original creation of the out-going owner with a mighty Mustard-flavored blend of Roast Pork, Sun-dried Tomatoes, and Grilled Eggplant. I like mustard and, therefore, liked this specialty much more than my wife, but we ended up ignoring portions of the so-so bun. Pane & Vino Special Porchetta (12€ - 4 stars) was a huge sandwich with the sliced Roast Pork Porchetta plus Mozzarella Cheese, Grilled Eggplant, Grilled Peppers, Mushrooms, Lettuce, and Mayo on classic Italian Pane. It needed more mayonnaise or a sprinkle of balsamic and olive oil for my tastes, but there was no denying it was a hearty hero. There are lots of pane bread and sandwich shops in Rome, but there is only one -- Pane & Vino -- run by the most welcoming of owners ever. If I'm in the neighborhood again, I'll be sure to stop in for a casual chat and some yummy porchetta sandwiches on the way to the Colosseum.

The cheese was creamy and delicious, and the vegan bacon was crunchy with the perfect texture - just like real bacon. The owner stated that it was made from pea protein, which I also would never have guessed. PRO TIP: The they close the kitchen between lunch and dinner (at 3:30) so be sure to get there earlier for full access to the menu. Even though I arrived late, the waiter asked the kitchen to make me carbonara, and I'm so glad they did! I will definitely be coming back here again to try their other vegan dishes. The bruschetta was also phenomenal. The tomatoes are so much sweeter and the olive oil so smooth, much better than in the U.S. And of course, I can't forget the noodles - perfectly al dente and fresh. I feel so spoiled when I eat pasta in Italy!

All this is to say, while in Italy, I've had excellent cheese - and with vegan cheese being hit or miss, I went in a bit nervous about the vegan cheese platter appetizer. However, the cheese really blew me away: it was excellent vegan cheese and with great variety. The cheese on the platter had different textures and different flavors (including one with a delicious kick that I happily would've bought a block of) and did a great job emulating non-vegan cheese plates. I followed this up by trying their 3-d printed steak in pumpkin sauce. Firstly, the pumpkin sauce was incredible: I generally only tolerate pumpkin-based products, but I found this pumpkin sauce delicious - excellent flavor profile and perfectly complimenting the steak. For the steak: you definitely won't confuse this with actual meat, but it was still good and flavorful - and the texture itself was super interesting. It had the bit of a real steak but with layers and complexity. I'm very glad I ended up trying this. All in all, the dishes we ordered were all great - and really interesting. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone - even if you aren't vegan!
