    We stopped in here for lunch, and it was amazing! You might want to get reservations if you plan on eating here. We were lucky to get a table outside, in side was full. Started off with a carafe of white wine, because we are in Italy! For an appetizer we got the special Pumpkin Ravioli, it was wonderful, a great fall dish! I got the Rigatoni all'amatriciana, wow it was amazing! The flavor was incredible, the pork cheek was perfectly crisp! Also got the tonnarelli Cacio e Pepe, very good and the special Ravioli. They also brought a bread basket with assorted breads! The service was very good. If you are in Rome write this place down for a great lunch place! Ciao

    (Overall: A) - A Michelin Guide restaurant in the center of all the tourist attractions that fills your belly with comforting home-style Roman dishes at a good value! Highly recommend this place to those who are seeking to omit the pretentious fine-dining thrills in favor for good value authentic eats that are just done exceptionally well. (Panzanella: A+) - Beautiful appetizer which turns tomato into a tartare, perfect to pair with bread. The portion is noticeably large, which I think is perfect to share for three! Love the simple garlic, tomato, basil flavor combo as it is something that's proven to work. (Fettuccine Ragu: B) - Add a caveat that I removed the most interesting component being the smoked ricotta, this dish is definitely a highlight for those who are seeking home-style Roman classics. The pork is cooked so tenderly, and works well with black cabbage, and their fresh fettuccine which looks hand cut!

    Roman-style cod

    Outstanding traditional Italian eatery! When I first told my Italian friend that I was planning to visit Rome, the first place they recommended was Hosteria Grappolo d'Oro -- this classic spot is located a short walk away from Piazza Navona and the Pantheon, so it's a quick trip from most of the classic Roman tourist destinations. There's a ton of natural light from their giant windows, so it's a great spot to visit during the daytime, especially since they also serve an outstanding three-course lunch set for only 34 euros a person. While a bit pricey for lunch, it's absolutely worth it -- the food is delicious and the portions are sizeable, so you'll leave very full and very happy. The meal starts off with a three-piece appetizer combo made up of small samples of a few traditional Roman dishes. It started off with a super light and refreshing panzanella made with fresh tomatoes and black olives. The tomato was tangy and sweet, which paired wonderfully with the briny, salty, and fatty olives. This finely chopped, almost paste-like salad went wonderfully with their table bread and was a great ode to the summer. The center appetizer, the cod fish mousse, was probably my favorite bite of this course; it was super smooth and light and had a pretty mild flavor but with a slightly fishy, umami undertone. It went great with the bread, but I honestly loved just munching on this on its own. I didn't get a chance to try the last appetizer, as it was a beef meatball and I'm a pescatarian, but my friend really enjoyed hers (and mine). For our primi, both of us got the cacio e pepe. The pasta was perfectly al dente, and it was quite a generous portion. The pecorino romano was a little nutty and salty, and it mixed together with the oil and pasta water to create a rich, velvety sauce that just barely coated the spaghetti. The cracked black pepper offered a much-needed hit of spice to break up the richness of the cheese, and it was, all around a phenomenal dish. We diverged a bit on our secondi; my friend ordered their beef and I got the Roman-style cod. The thinly sliced beef was incredibly tender and had a super flavorful, rich red wine sauce. It came with a few pieces of braised veggies, but it felt like the dish could be made a bit more balanced with a slightly larger side. On the other hand, my Roman-style cod was served with a generous portion of sauteed spinach. It was a smidge too salty, but I loved having a few extra greens. The cod was super flavorful, and I loved the zesty, tangy, slightly sweet tomato and olive sauce. The tomatoes were super fresh, and I loved the slightly briny flavor the olives brought to the dish; it honestly reminded me a lot of the panzanella served with the appetizer, so it was a nice way to make the whole meal feel a bit more cohesive. The cod was, unfortunately, quite overcooked, so it felt a bit rubbery, but it was still tasty and I loved the extra bit of texture from the pine nuts on top. Our dessert was a lovely scoop of mascarpone ice cream topped with a sour cherry and wine sauce. The ice cream was a bit tangy from the mascarpone, and I loved the slight bite from the sauce. It was also served with a small wafer, which was super crispy and reminiscent of an ice cream cone.

    I saw this place in the Michelin Bib Gourmand guide so I made reservations for a Saturday at 7pm while traveling in Rome. We came right when it opened and it filled up very quickly with people who had made reservations. Our servers were very kind and professional. We started with some white wine which was unfiltered and was delicious! This was my first time having unfiltered wine but I loved how much bolder it tasted. Their menu has several offerings and they all stand out for their incredibly reasonable prices. We opted to do the 4 course prix fixe for 34 euro each (appetizer, primi, secondi, and dessert) which felt like such an amazing deal and gave us a chance to sample many things. We tried: Tris de antipasti tradizionali: the set appetizer consisted of 3 small samples of traditional Roman dishes. The panzanella was a delicious tomato dish which was bright, refreshing, and tasted of tangy/sweet tomatoes and olive oil. This went amazingly with the bread. The cod fish mousse was smooth and at first reminded me of tuna but with a slightly fishier taste. This may have been my least favorite of the 3 although by the end, it definitely grew on me after I had it with bread. Finally the boiled beef meatball was our favorite! This meatball was crispy on the outside but the inside was tender and made of shredded beef which gave it a more smooth texture. The seasoning was perfect and very mild which worked extremely well with the tangy and citrusy green sauce these came over! Reminded me a lot of chimichurri! Super good. Primi: my boyfriend tried the spaghetti alla carbonara which I thought was the best flavor-wise that we had in Rome, it was just the right amount of eggy without being too salty, and had perfectly crispy chunks of guanciale that gave it a little umami punch. However, his pasta was slightly overcooked. I had the tonnarelli cacio e pepe which was delicious! The pasta was perfectly al dente, felt very fresh, the sauce was thick and rich, and the amount of pepper rounded off the dish well. I personally would prefer for this to be slightly less salty but it was still good. The quality of ingredients felt very high. Secondi: for our second plates I tried the Roman style cod fish in tomato sauce, and my boyfriend got the red wine braised beef cheek. My cod was definitely overcooked and very rubbery which was a bummer. However, the tomato sauce was very nice and tangy, with little hints of sweetness from the raisins and nuttiness from the pine nuts. It came with a little side of sautéed veggies that were a little too salty, so I had a great need for water after. My boyfriend's dish was a little better. The beef cheek was incredibly tender, buttery, and just dissolved in your tongue. The red wine sauce was thick, and rich (almost a little too salty and overpowering) but we could tell the preparation of it had been meticulous and involved patience. Overall we were more impressed with the prior dishes than the mains we ordered. Dessert: for dessert we had a delightful ricotta cheese mousse that was creamy and just a tiny bit sweet, with dark chocolate, and orange! The combination was delicious and this dessert was the right amount of light to finish off a very complete meal. We were very full at this point! The tasting menu portions are pretty big (even though they might be slightly smaller than the regular portions) so they can accumulate fast! If you get this, I would not plan on eating anything after. I thought the food here was overall good and thought the prices were unbeatable for the quantity you get! The appetizers and pastas were the highlight of the show for us (especially the sampler trio of Roman appetizers which I highly recommend!). We were not so impressed by the main dishes and definitely found other places to be better. Not sure I would come out of my way to come here again but it was a good experience to have once-- especially because of the lively ambiance and convenient location in the Campo Di Fiori area which was very fun to walk around after.

    Skip the lines at the nearby restaurants and come here. At least when I came here around 8pm was no line and the other "popular" Instagram restaurants were busy. Also this place has a Michelin Bib while the others do not. Everything was very well prepared, from start to finish. Cacio e peoe was great, and so was the braised beef cheek. Very melty. Pasta was very al dente in classic Roman style. Inside feels very calm and quaint and service was nice as well. Would highly recommend!

    We scouted Grappolo D'Oro about a month before our trip to Rome. It exceeded the hype. A tasting menu for less than 40 euros pp with incredible apps, pasta, and mains. A curveball we didn't expect? You get a small portion of all three apps listed. The Carbonara and Cacio Pepe were both home runs, plated perfectly and traditionally. The beef cheek was one of the most well done plates of our trip. D'Oro is right, this place is gold.

    App trio
    K X.

    I loved it but fair warning my 3 friends who got the same thing as me didn't. The lamb was really salty and fairly fatty, which doesn't bother me but could bother others. Same for the carbonara, super salty meat and very creamy / heavy. If you generally don't mind these things, I'd order it otherwise probably skip this place. App trio was my friends' favorites.

    Tris di antipasti tradizionali
    Steven D.

    We came to Grappolo d'Oro with reservations and were sat down immediately. Given that we found this spot off the Bib Gourmand guide, it was unsurprisingly busy. That said, our service throughout the whole meal was attentive and speedy. We each opted for the four-course menu. The menu included samples of three different starters, then I opted for the the Rigatoni alla Amatriciana and the Agnello alla romana, and we were all brought the same dessert which was some sort of cream with cookies. I also tried the Guancia di manzo brasata al Cesanese as somebody else at my table ordered it and it looked quite tasty. The starters were definitely my favorite part of the meal, followed by the dessert, the pasta, and the meat. For €34, it was a very large amount of food and many of us could not finish all of the courses. That said, it seemed as though quantity might have been prioritized over quality. Though it was a perfectly acceptable meal, it did not impress us like many of the other Italian meals we had while visiting Rome. The Rigatoni alla Amatriciana was missing any sort of unique robust flavor, the Agnello alla romana was relatively bland and very fatty, and the Guancia di manzo brasata al Cesanese was cooked less than spectacularly (sort of chewy). Overall, our meal at Grappolo d'Oro was perfectly fine, but there was not much to be excited about. Pretty much every other meal we had in Rome was more memorable, so I would encourage others to maybe find a better option.

    Incredible experience! Delicious food, excellent service and even better house wine! Favorite meal in Rome by far. We had two pasta dishes, tiramisu and a liter of wine for $54. We will be back!

    Antipasti tasting plate.
    Beppe C.

    This lunch was a celebration for us so we decided to have every course, and luckily they offered a tasting menu that had exactly what we wanted: traditional Roman food. The antipasti course was a fixed selection of three starters, Panzanella, boiled beef meatballs and a cod mousse. All three were delicious, but the meatballs were a surprise. The boiled beef is a different consistency than the more common preparation and the added seasonings were fantastic. Our pasta courses were as traditional as it gets, a Rigatoni all'Amatriciana and Tonnarelli Cacio e Pepe. The rigatoni was perfectly al dente and the guanciale was nice and crispy. The tonnarelli was a little smaller than a recent version I've eaten, more like the size of a spaghetti, but with a delicious sauce. Our main courses were cod in tomato sauce and roasted lamb. Both were the stars of our meal and I was happy that I didn't find any bones in the cod. For our sides we got some roasted potatoes and a sautéed green, but I'm not certain what that tasty addition was. Looking at the menu, it may have been puntarelle, but this would've been my first time so I can't be sure. To end the fantastic meal, we had a vanilla gelato and a quick espresso, both of which hit the spot!

    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.

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.

So happy we did as this place definitely delivers. There is seriously like 8 tables in the dining room so expect a wait in line but trust me, it's worth it. We waited outside for about 25 minutes. They do take your order while in line so the wait for food (once you do get a table) is abbreviated. Out of the world pastas and the pistachio tiramisu is seriously out of this world. 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!
