Lucia H.

Excellent service. We got seated right away and after we ordered our food - grilled veggies, zucchini flower, pizza parmigiana and seafood fetuccine, it was served to us less than 30 mins. The food was really tasty and delicious including the lemon ice cream and tiramisu. The lemoncelli spritz was also very good. Marika our server was very helpful in giving us suggestions of what to order including my lemoncelli spitz. She was prompt in providing service to us. The place is nice and cozy. Definitely, will recommend this place to my friends and will surely come back. Great dinner experience.

The food and service were second to none. Friendly staff and the food was expertly prepared. The house wine was excellent.

We walked in here one evening for dinner and they immediately gave us a table. The place was pretty busy for a Wednesday night. Unfortunately, the seating in this place is crammed together pretty tight. Our server wasn't that friendly, she seemed too busy taking care of other tables and didn't spend any time to greet us properly or even talk to us at all. Prices are on the high side here. I ordered the chicken cutlet with spaghetti instead of salad, plus fries. When the dish arrived, it had two thin pieces of chicken and a few pieces of lettuce. I told her I wanted spaghtti instead, and she didn't say anything and brought me the spaghetti (and charged me extra for her mistake). The food didn't have much flavour, pretty tasteless. The fries were the best part of the meal, being cooked perfectly. The only time I saw a smile on the server's face was when she presented the check--how pathetic.

Pizza alla diavola (front) and pizza parmigiana (back)

Came here as it was a short walk from our rental near the south part of the Vatican. Cute and cozy authentic Italian restaurant, and the pizza and desserts were delicious. I ordered the pizza alla diavola (tomato, mozzarella, spicy salami), it was perfect! Had a little bite to it with the spicy salami, and it was the perfect end (along with the dessert) to our last night in Rome. For dessert I ordered the Tartufo affogato Al caffè, and I ordered it "black" which I believe was chocolate on the outside of the gelato with a vanilla inside, which was delightful. Great service and friendly staff! Would highly recommend!

This place was the best food I've had so far in Rome. The ravioli was amazing as was the tiramisu! My daughter had the mezze maniche alla gricia and loved it too.. Great service was provided.. Thanks Marina!!

Best food & service I've had so far in Rome, this place will be hard to beat. Authentic Italian menu, with many choices and at an affordable price. The service was wonderful, Marika was friendly and attentive. The pasta and tiramisu are the best I've had in Rome & they have a great selection of Bruchetta. We will be back before leaving Rome!

Get the carbonara but make sure get a dish that's not salty; so it will balance it out since the carbonara is a little on the saltier side

We tried goose because it was one of the closest restaurants next to our place with a good rating on yelp; we looked at the pictures on yelp of course to see what looked good. Of course we get there and choose what we like instead; we chose The carbonara and the goose pizza. We love love pizza and we were torn with the goose pizza or the good ol napoli pizza; the anchovies, the cheese, and the tomatoes. We asked our waiter and he recommended the goose pizza, so on his rec we went with the goose The goose pizza: 3/5 the cheese was really good, I would say one of the best tasting cheese's I had on a pizza; gooey, fresh tasting, and wasn't rubbery at all. The crust was perfectly thin and crunch was just amazing, the taste was also very good. Now the pizza as a whole with the toppings were very lackluster, the flavor was not there because it had eggplant (which was not flavorful at all), mushrooms, and tomatoes. I would def not get it again, prob stick with the Napoli for sure. Carbonara 4/5; first off the pasta was al dente, other reviewers had noted that the pasta wasn't and I felt like it was on par with many of the other Italian restaurants here that we've had. The flavor was a deep rich eggy and flavorful pasta; it was such a thick consistency which we like so it was just right. Now the only downside was the taste, it was pretty good with the cheese and the bacon bits, but we were overwhelmed with the saltiness of the dish. It was more saltier than most carbonara dishes we had, I would still give this a 4/5 because the flavor had a good true Italian taste to it but the salt was a little over powering. NOW these two dishes together was just good; the goose pizza which was bland and really had no sense of saltiness mixed with the carbonara which was a little on the saltier side made a great dish. Side note: we ordered the goose house wine, would give it a solid 3.5/5, would remind me of a Trader Joe's 2 buck chuck if you know what I'm talking about, if you don't then I would recommend it with your meal since it was such a good price.

We found this little gem around the corner from where we were staying in Rome. What can I say, if the locals frequent the place it must be worth it. Upon walking in we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. We knew very little Italian but that didn't deter us from ordering our plates. The staff is very friendly and provided prompt service. The food was delicious!! The pizza was nothing like anything I had tasted before. West Coast and New York Style pizza is nothing compared to Goose pizza. The Frutti de Mare was bananas!!! I had this dish twice during my trip to Rome. For dessert we enjoyed tiramisu and it was heavenly. Would definitely visit Goose again when in Rome.

BEST Pizza in Vatican City!! There is a wood fire oven right in front so you know it's good. Our hotel recommend this place and it didn't disappoint. I wish we could have gone again because it was that good

This place has THE BEST pizza! They're very friendly, and despite my terrible Italian, the wait staff treated me as if I was their equal. Bravo! We came here everyday of our vacation (4 days). We ordered everything from the bruschetta to the espresso; all were exceptional. Even the house red wine was perfecto! I recommend everything on the menu. Even vegans will have something to eat here. read more

This place got us addicted to pizza. Shame on you Pizzeria Goose! How dare you to make such delish pizza? And you MUST try their salmon and shrimp pasta, holy bananas good! I almost ordered one more serving even though I was already full. The attentive service was a total delight and spoke very good English and Spanish. The place is a bit tight but they certainly make up with their promptness. The prices are surprisingly low for the quality of food. Stop by if you can, it's definitely a great little spot. read more

This place is conveniently close to St. Peter's Basilica, which is probably the main reason for its popularity among tourists. Amtosphere is cozy with slightly cramped seating in the corners, but a cute wood-fire oven and nice lighting. Service is prompt, and our waiter recommended a good bottle of wine to go with our meal. Unfortunately, we were disappointed by the dishes we chose -- grilled meats were all dry from being overcooked, accompanying salad was lackluster, and there was nothing exciting to report with the risotto or the fritto misto. We wanted to try more seafood, might have had better luck. Pizza seems to be a safe bet as we saw a car full of nuns pick up take-out pizza. read more

We came to Goose twice during our time in Rome. Basically the best anchovy pizza I've had. The sauce was flavorful and was perfect with the salty anchovy. We also had caccio e pepe for the first time here which was amazing when we had it, however, after we've tried the same dish at Caccio e Pepe, this was definitely not that good as it was too wet and saucy. The seafood pasta however was amazing. Overall, it was a great dining experience and the house wine is good. The restaurant is a little small and the tables can get kind of crowded but pretty good service in comparison to other places in Europe. read more

This was the best restaurant we find in Rome. For our two weeks stay, my wife and I, we were everyday at Goose enjoying real Italian food, good wine and a friendly, pleasant atmosphere. Goose team are now our friends, and we want to thank them all for their hard work to make us happy. For sure in Rome there are many restaurants, many of them tourist oriented, and we were looking for a truly Italian one, where locals are coming because they know better where to go, and where to feel home. And indeed, at Goose we were like home, happy and relaxed. If you trust our advise go to Goose, eat well and drink their good wine - red or white - make friends and you will come back, to your home with wonderful memories. Trust us! read more

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.

Inexpensive table wine rounds out a great meal. This is the type of place I love to go to. It's quaint, zero pretense and delivers on its food. A great find!

Our Vatican tour guide recommended this spot to us so Lisa and I were on the hunt. Upon arrival we…read morewere graciously greeted and taken to our seats right away. Our kind waiter bright over water, bread and breadsticks. No olive oil, no butter just dry. For our lunch I decided on the cacio e Pepe and Lisa opted for the ragú. Both were delicious. For dessert we were told the owners mom made lemon cake so that was a no brainer. It was fabulous and paired well with espresso. Our waiter also brought us Amaro. It's a licorice like liqueur enjoyed as a digestif. Definitely an acquired taste that reminded me of Aguardiente. Overall the service and staff were exceptional and I would return if ever in a Vatican City again.

My favorite on the menu...which one to choose from...definitely the Quattro Formaggi, Lasagna, and the simple but oh so delicious Carbonara. Oh and you want to talk about great service? This place sticks out like a sore thumb when it comes to their service because it is very rare to have such great hospitality service from a place in Italy. lol! Seriously though, the servers were very friendly and accommodating. Be ready to get in line for over an hour. You know a place is good when the line is long! The place is small but my goodness, they exude the small but cute Italian cafe vibe. Until my next visit, I will salivate and fantasize about the food at Cantina e Cucina.

Very good, tasty pasta. The workers there are busting their butts, and I appreciated it. The…read moreambiance is like a typical Italian restaurant. Tables are pretty close together, but the food is well worth it.

Conosco il locale ormai da mesi ed è sempre piacevole tornarci. A me piacciono molto le pizze, non sottilissime e ben condite, ma bisogna essere fortunati: dei due pizzaioli presenti uno è molto bravo mentre l'altro è meno attento e a volte il risultato non è soddisfacente. Buoni e abbondanti i primi. Costi nella media e accettabilissimi vista la vicinanza a San Pietro. read more
