Wonderful! A taste whirlwind! We had the fried pizza dough w/marinara, grated Parmesan, & basil. Yum! The pizza dough had good flavor & marinara has a fun tart bite, and the cheese-basil combo gives you great warmth tones. Bruschetta - we stuck with the classic: tomato, Buffalo mozzarella, fresh basil, & extra virgin olive oil. The bread was grilled giving a Smokey flavor and everything was fresh & crisp! I had the lasagne: 6 thin pasta layers with their tangy meat sauce, creamy ricotta, & mozzarella! Deliciousness!!! My wife had the Vesuvius Calzone: Ham, Ricotta, & mozzarella. Amazing! Very happy we found this place on a Sunday afternoon. read more

First time here in Rome and most of our meals were structured by our tour. But on our last night here we had some free time and our tour guide recommended this place. My wife and I were not too hungry, having enjoyed a big lunch elsewhere. So we skipped the appetizers, salad, and dessert. The pizza menu is extensive, so it might take awhile to decide. No pressure though. I ordered a pizza Nisida (Tomato, mozzarella, sausage and peppers) but I got served Pozzuoli (Tomato, mozzarella and sausage) OK, close enough. My wife ordered Spaghettino alle Vongole (Clams, tomato and garlic) € 13. For beverages, my wife tried to order a mixed drink but they didn't have a bartender on duty, so we both settled on a glass of Chianti. The pasta came out first and my pizza a couple minutes later. The pasta had several small clams and my wife enjoyed it. The pasta was not home made but was just fine. The pizza is basically personal size and sufficient to satisfy. It was thin crust, had fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil. It was somewhat watery, but aside from the sausage crumbles was very tasty. It came uncut which posed a minor challenge having to cut it with only a butter knife provided, but it worked out. Where I come from (grew up in NYC) there is only one acceptable way to eat pizza, and that is to pick it up. To use a knife and fork is unacceptable. Anyway, once cut I was able to pick up the slices and eat it properly. The staff was friendly, spoke English well, and service was prompt. But here's an important tip! I read another review about this place complaining that they were ignored to the point they left in disgust. Thanks to our tour guide clueing us in, we learned that the waiter will not come to take your order unless you hit a switch to turn on a little red light to alert them. They do this not to rush you. The switch hangs from the pendant light, and the red light is just above it. Ditto for requesting the check because Italians often are in no hurry and like to linger and talk after eating. All in all, we enjoyed it and would probably go back (but we would probably like to try other places first). read more

Gaudì - Pozzuoli (Tomato, mozzarella and sausage) € 10.00 - Pizza Near Me - Rome, RM

Fantastic!! Food was amazing!! I am Gluten intolerant and have searched the city, stumbled upon them by accident in my searches. Had their gluten free pasta and hubby ate some and could not even tell it was gluten free. Great service, hubby is already asking to come back for lunch Tomorrow after seeing the Pizza and the amazing salads coming out of the Kitchen! Thanks guys for making my trip to Rome even better!! Grazie!! read more

The association to the artist is still a mystery to me, but Gaudì is an instant classic. I've been here several times years ago, and I was happy to come back and find the same ambiance, the same spirit and the same... patate cacio e pepe. If you like thin-cut fries and pecorino, the combination will truly inspire you. Some remain crunchy, some become a soft bundle of cheesy deliciousness, I would say you can't dine at Gaudì without ordering a dish. I also find the "red light is to order" rule very effective, I wish more restaurants followed suit. The service is snappy and the wait time for the food is more than reasonable, even when the place is packed. I also like the selection on the menu, vegetarians, carnivores and carb-lovers will each find something noteworthy to pique their interest. Appetizers and desserts really steal the scene, in my opinion, so plan ahead for that. The pizzas are definitely good, Neapolitan style, and richly topped, but I think the dough is not on par with the very best from Naples. Gaudì is truly a cinco estrellas, in spite of a flaw here and there. The ambience, the many options and the reasonable price make it an excellent choice, even more so when the upstairs terrace is open. That cacio and pepe goes down so much better with a breeze of fresh air! read more

The walk to Pizzeria Gaudi from the hotel wasn't the nicest at night, but it was worth it. I went here while on a business trip in Rome after hearing good things. For 40 euros (less than 50 dollars at the time), my colleague and I got sparkling water, a small bottle of red wine (which for basically the house wine, was great), a salad to split (with the traditional European version of "dressing" - vinegar and olive oil), and two pizzas. The pizza was Neapolitan pizza (not like the pizzas they normally sell at fast-food type restaurants in Rome): thicker crust, some light tomato sauce, fresh tomatoes, and fresh mozzarella. I got sweet peppers on mine as well. My colleague got eggplant on hers. Despite not being that hungry, I ate most of the pizza because it was so good. The atmosphere was also very nice here. The restaurant doesn't look that good from the outside, but the upstairs terrace is cute. Each table has a lamp above it with a switch that you can press when you are ready to order or if you need anything. It's a very good idea to ensure that the waiter isn't constantly bugging you. He/she just comes over when you're ready! Our service was good and the waiter and cashier (you pay downstairs) both spoke English. They took Visa credit cards as well. I'd recommend this for lunch or dinner - it's very close to Villa Borghese so it'd be a great option after visiting the park and/or museum! Great food, very cheap prices, and a cute atmosphere! read more

Potentially the most delicious pasta I've ever eaten -- if you're unsure as to what to order, I recommend the spaghetti al pomodoro e basilico. Lovely ambiance, wonderful service. Our waitress was potentially the kindest and most friendly we came across during our trip to Europe. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

I wanted to stay near the hotel for something to eat today, and that turned out to be a big mistake. Having been awake since 3am UK time, I fancied grabbing some italian food and then heading back, but it didn't work out as simple as that and Gaudi is to blame. Based on english reviews, english part of the website I decided to come here, but I did speak to 3 members of staff who spoke very little english and couldn't understand me. A flaw in Yelp's search bar also let this place down, I searched for gluten free pizza in Rome and towards the top, this came up hence that is what I expected, but now I am thinking it only came up because the word "Pizza" was used, as the staff didn't have a clue about coeliac disease. As regular readers of my reviews will know, I have coeliac disease and I require a strict gluten free diet and if somewhere can't provide information, then they will be trouble as it is breaking EU law that came into effect in December 2014. This restaurant seems to be popular as people were waiting outside before they opened, which they told me was 7:30. which is another inaccuracy with Yelp. When I finally got there, I asked 2 members of staff, most basically cleaning and making sure the store looks presentable ready for opening, watering the plants etc, they still didn't understand about gluten free, even with tourists trying to say it to them, and this is breaking EU law. I always give 1 star to places that do this but in my opinion it could just have been them speaking very poor english and not selecting the right staff to ask, I asked the only staff, these staff could definitely have been better in assisting me, they could of even got a senior member of staff. At the end of the day, I never even walked into the restaurant and they did let me down, by being unable to translate basic things and understanding correct italian terms. I don't want to make excuses for them, they just didn't understand about gluten free, even in italian or get staff who could and that's breaking the law, so I feel I can't give any more than one star, I would happily revisit the restaurant however (paying in full of course) if the manager got in touch with me telling me about their gluten free options as it does look very nice, however until they can provide dietary information, it can't be any more than a one star rating, as I said it is breaking EU law. read more

We first discovered Gaudi during a business trip to Rome. The place was a welcome change from our over the top hotel meals. Thinking we would just save a bit of money we found a place that feels like home with great service great food and unreal prices for such a great experience. So now four years later we returned to Rome with our four kids 14 -19 to show them this great place in the middle of a city chuck full of great food. Kids all loved it and want to go back tonight. We parents loved that six of us ate for 95 euro. Score! Take the family take best friends have some fun for the right price. 2 notes book ahead for outside dining, worth it. Also don't forget to just turn the light on when you need anything. read more

I really loved this place. I went here twice! It's not near the tourist center of Rome, so it was a nice getaway. We were actually staying up near Villa Borghese Park and it was a short walk. One nice thing about this place is they have a little lightbulb above the table so you can let them know when you are ready to order, or need something, including the bill. You're not bothered otherwise and it's an aid in communication between people who really don't speak much Italian and the staff. The staff was so nice! And cool! The place opens around 7:30, which is perfect time for an American dinner, so we got fueled up before the big rush of locals came in for the normal Italian dinner time. You HAVE to tried the fried appetizer specialties. I really wish I had tried more. Delicious. I had the potato croquettes and wish I had gotten more. read more

This was the worst dining experience we had while we were in Rome. The staff clearly didnt want us there and they made it very clear. We showed up at 7:45 and asked for a table to which they said we needed to be gone by 9 due to reservations. This wasnt a huge deal, we just figured we would grab a couple pizzas real quick and hit the road. 20 minutes into being there they still hadn't taken our drink order. I know Italians are chill with their dining experience but if you want us out of there in a hurry you should serve us. There were multiple waiters/waitresses standing there and looking at us but no one would respond when we tried to wave them over. Eventually we just got up and left. read more

Well after all the good reviews of this place on Yelp we decided to try it there for dinner tonight. NOT IMPRESSED AT ALL Rather than honouring their hours for being open posted on Yelp they decided to open at 7:30 on a Thursday night rather than noon as posted. When queried about this discrepancy they laughed and said "this is Italia". I did not go there for a geography lesson - I went to eat. When the food came it was average in quality, expensive and not anything special. Will not go back & suggest others do the same. read more

Refreshing simple with excellent food this affordable tratoria is a favorite. Menu is very large and they have an excellent grill if you manage to get but the pizza. House wine is cheap and quite drinkable. Other specialties include il fritto misto GAUDI' e le melanzane alla sorrentina. (7:30 PM to midnight.) read more

A bit expensive for the amount of flavor here. Was recommended by a life long local friend. He was a bit disappointed as well. Had clam linguini And friend had a pasta dish and felt let down as well. read more

I've been here twice and enjoy the pizza--there is a long list including several without cheese. You can watch them being cooked in the wood-fired oven which is a lot of fun just by itself. In the summertime the rooftop seating is very pleasant. The lightbulb system for signaling the staff is novel and quite effective. The cooked greens are disappointing, but the hot potato chips are delicious. So don't try to eat healthily here! read more

First place I ate at on my trip to Italy and ended up being one of my favorites!! Loved the red light system and my pizza was incredible. Also loved the fried rice balls and fried potato that I had before my pizza. Can't wait until I visit Rome again and can eat here again. read more

Buona pizza napoletana. Birre limitate. Ambiente accogliente, bella terrazza. Rapporto prezzo-qualità leggermente insoddisfacente.
