We visited Hostaria de Pastini with our family of 6 persons. We ordered several dishes to share at the table. We ordered the seafood soup, mixed brushetta , caprese salad, margherita pizza and a bottle of house red. My (16) year old son and nieces (13) and (15) enjoyed the pizza and other dishes. This says a lot because they consider themselves a bit of pizza snobs. The seafood was excellent. It had mussels, shrimp, squid, and clams in a delicious broth. I needed help with the caprese salad since it looked like a tomato quartered and a ball of cheese. One of our waiters prepared it and explained how it should be eaten with olive oil, basil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. The service was above and beyond we could have expected. Dimo our main waiter made sure our drinks were full and that we were happy with our dining experience and food. Next time I would get the regular tomato based bruschetta since that was our favorite. We highly recommend visiting the restaurant and thank you Luigi for bring us in from the outside. read more

We came here a few years ago and fell in love with Hostaria De Pastini's beautiful atmosphere, outstanding staff, and excellent cuisine. We returned recently and had another amazing experience. We were once again greeted warmly, promptly attended to, and given the most delicious meal we have ever had. We savored every second of our visit. Highly recommend! read more

This review is mainly based on the service... It's been a very long time since I have reviewed restaurants. This time I have to as I am currently sitting at the table waiting. At first the service was decent, attentive to our table of 2. Then a table of 10 arrives and our waiter completely forgets about us. Waited for approximately 25 minutes when he finally remembered we were sitting here. Completely made me lose my appetite and ruined our dinner. I understand the restaurant gets busy but currently there are 7 tables with customers. Now to the food, the fried seafood platter was on point and so was the fungi pizza! My fungi pasta was tasty. Still worth trying their food!!! Cozy and clean restaurant! The table next to us was waiting on their tiramisu for about 30 minutes soo, sadly to say, I do not recommend this restaurant based on their service solely. read more

It's was so fire they great service. Best place for everything in Rome. The food was delicious too

Ordered a GF spaghetti with lobster. Came in a tomato sauce that was lacking something. Added salt to it and it helped but it could have used more flavor, like garlic or something. Lobster was very well cooked and the dish was tasty overall. read more

We didn't try the pizza because we were highly anticipating Italian pasta. After eating their pasta, I wish we had ordered the pizza instead, especially since the words "Pizzeria" was on their door. The only remarkable thing I could say is that the pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. We had the bolognese pasta where the ground beef had an aftertaste of canned dog food (no, I have never eaten dog food but the aftertaste was like the smell of canned dog food). My husband and daughter thought it was good. But both of them agreed that the Hosteria de Pastini's Bolognese sauce was not as good as my homemade bolognese sauce. The other pasta that we had chosen supposedly had cheese and basil on top of tomato sauce. The tomato sauce was decent, but there literally was 1 small sprig of fresh basil. Since this restaurant is extremely close to the Pantheon, the price for the size of the dish is comparable to other nearby restaurants. read more

Hostaria De' Pastini - The cheese and basil with tomato sauce pasta literally had one small sprig of basil only. Disappointing. - Italian Near Me - Rome, RM

We are here when we went to the Pantheon. We got seated very fast and loved our food! We both kicked our plates clean! Also, if you are craving some American French fries, this place had delicious ones! The lasagna and amatriciana were very well cooked and we loved every bite. I will say we questioned our decision when we saw someone's pizza come out because it took up the whole table and looked delicious but our meals were great! If we ever go back, we will def try the pizza! read more

Mediocre food, tourist trap. The food here is bad and the service is bad too. Took forever to get our appetizers. We had to ask several times to receive all of them. The suppli was cold with little flavor. The amatriciana was very bland, and the bacon was overcooked. The bolognese had an overly sweet yet greasiness to it. And the pizza was just low quality. Keep walking to another restaurant because this one will leave you dissatisfied. read more

I do not understand all these good reviews. There are thousands of better restaurants in Rome. We went here because we were desperate to escape the heat. Google reviews has it at 4.6 stars. Salad was your basic salad. The carbonara was awful. The egg yolk split so it was like eating noodles with scrambled eggs and oil from the guanciale in a split greasy mess. Noodles itself were al dente. Amatriciana was better. Then the server asked for a tip at the end of the meal. Please do not make the same mistake we made. Many many better restaurants. 100% tourists only here. Plan well and enjoy. read more

We had a lovely dinner here. Each dish was great. The service was great. We enjoyed dining outside and watching the people pass by. The ambiance was very nice outside and inside. Only about a block away from the Pantheon but away from craziness of the crowds. The carbonara was my favorite. read more

Host was personable and seated us at a cafe table near the busy thru-way, which was great for people watching. We were wary since it was on a street leading to the Pantheon, but we're pleasantly surprised! Had the lasagna, which was authentic- lots of cheese & a great meat sauce, and seafood pasta-delicious with noodles that were truly al dente! Plates were generous and beautifully presented! read more

The place was very crowded. Luckily we got seated quick. The pasta was ok but not salted. That was okay. Our waiter was not really interested but brought our food quickly. Honestly my only problem is how loud it was and the food was mid read more

At this point, I was sick of pasta during my Italy trip. How can Italians eat pasta and pizza everyday?! I don't understand. I ordered the lasagna because I haven't had a meat-filled lasagna in Italy yet. The taste was solid but I still love Costco lasagna the best. The portions may look small, but I still couldn't finish it. These restaurants outside the Pantheon are all tourist traps, but the food isn't bad at all. read more

Cute little hole in the wall that packs a big punch! Pasta is perfetto. We had ravioli with lots of truffle, melanzane parmigiana, seafood with whole lobster pasta, fried artichoke and zucchini flower, chocolate panna cotta, and a bottle of Chianti. Bill came to $125, unheard of in the US! We went to bed stuffed and full of good Roman holiday cheer! read more

Calamari were luke warm. Staff inattentive. Is it too much to expect the waiter to ask if you would like something to drink? Pizza ok but nothing to write home about. I would not return. read more

Great service at this restaurant! My waiter was very kind and patient with the lack of my Italian. He spoke some English, but for the most part, he got my order down. A must visit for sure. Cheers! read more

This place was horrendous and over priced. They claim to not have a service charge and they in fact DO. Also the staff is very pushy on selling you additional food and make you feel guilty if you don't purchase more. The food is disgusting to put the cherry on top. Stay away. read more

Absolutely incredible! The staff are amazing and will go above and beyond to make your experience great. They are helpful, kind, and very good at what they do. The food is also INCREDIBLE. If you are in Rome and anywhere near the Pantheon, this is a MUST. You cannot miss this. Also the place is so beautiful and if you sit outside you will have a true Italian experience! Anyone who says that this place isn't awesome is crazy!!! read more

The pizza is delicious!!! I had the tagliatelle w/funghi (mushrooms). It was okay. I wouldn't recommend ordering it. Not enough flavor. My fiancée had a vegetable dish with fish. They took care to remove the bones from the fish at the table. The vegetables were great (potatoes and zucchini). The fish left a little to be desired. Last, they gave us a complimentary lemon sorbet that was spectacular. Festini in my mouth. Get the pizza. Customer service was fantastic and the ambiance is lovely. My first true Italian meal. I love Rome! read more

While walking in the streets of Rome, I was starving of course, lol and among all the restaurants this one for reason stranded out. Perhaps the staff they outside giving menu information helped to make the decision and perhaps the prices were were reasonable or perhaps the outdoor seating were you could enjoy your meal while people watching and at the same time enjoy the beautiful weather. Also had free WiFi we just ordered a margarita pizza and bruschetta, both were delicious, served in timely manner. It was a really enjoyable and nice lunch. Great location also, close to the pantheon and the Trevi Fountain. read more

We found this little gem while walking back from the Pantheon. We were delighted to find the best Carbonara in town. The focaccia bread and antipasto was also a hit for us. My husband really enjoyed his seafood pasta .The service was superb and so very attentive. This cute place has all the wonderful gems your except from a true Italian restaurant.

The host in front of the cafe was really nice and not aggressive at all like some other restaurants we passed by. We decided to give this place a go and to our delight the food was amazing! We had the lasagna bolognese and the spaghetti with garlic and hot pepper. The food looked so simple but once you take a bite, it's like a plethora of flavor just bursting in your mouth. Lol. So good! Would surely come back when we return to Rome. read more

We had a great experience here! Everything from the appetizer to the wine to the pizza was AMAZING! Definitely would recommend!

Such a delicious gem! We were tired and stumbled upon this place, just a few steps away from the Pantheon. The service was great, and the food was DELICIOUS. This was a surprise because Roman food is a hit or miss. Due to all the tourism, you can pay for overpriced food that has very little taste. But Hostaria De' Pastini was wonderful. The outside is nice, but the inside has air conditioning (a great relief!) and very cute, picturesque decor. We ordered the special of the day, which was delicious! Ravioli. And we ordered a steak, which was so JUICY and TASTY. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I'm gonna recommend this place to anyone who visits Rome! read more

Excellent food in the Pantheon area. The service was a bit sketchy, girl cared more about the people walking by to get them to eat there than taking our order. Anyway, we had a Bruschetta and Antipasti for appetizer and enjoyed it. The main course was the kicker, Squid Ink Ravioli (not on menu, ask for it) with shrimp and squid in a black truffle sauce...exquisite!!!! I recommend and would return. read more

Came here based on TripAdvisor reviews but should've never come in here. First off, the guy in front tried to bribe me to come in with a drink (that should have been the first warning sign). 9€ for a Margherita pizza that was underwhelming - would've gladly paid more if it was better. Second, it got me sick. I don't know if they handle their cheese with care in the back but I'm struggling to keep anything down after I ate their pizza. Sad end to my Rome trip. Also, waiters keep trying to upsell you on more expensive items - once we ordered our dishes and water, we were not even looked at again since there were other tables that ordered bottles of wine or had more people. The disparity between how we were treated vs how others were treated was HUGE. Go to any other place.. at BEST, this location has average Italian food. read more

Absolutely fabulous!! The first evening the food was delicious and the waiter was incredibly professional, friendly and kind. We returned two nights later as other meals just couldn't compare. Authentic Italian dishes were a delight. On our return to Rome next week we will be back!! read more
