Decent restaurant right near Trevi Fountain. It has a cute intimate atmosphere and the food was okay. I found the carbonara sauce to be very salty. The ossobuco however was amazing! I'd recommend reservations although we were able to get a table without one. Of all the restaurants in Rome I think that there are better. read more

Delicious while sightseeing! satisfying and tasty for a quick break on our tour. A nice break from the business of the fountain.

Been out & about allday we walked from our hotel to the Colosseum. Then we walked all through there to explore so we were tired. After exploring the Colosseum we decided to walk toward the Trevi Fountain area to eat & stumbled across this place. The food was good. But the overall service was not so great so I'm giving 2 stars for service. read more

Waited 20 minutes for water then the carbonara came out like pasta with scrambled eggs mixed in. It was unappetizing and unpleasant. DO NOT RECOMMEND. ETA: Went up to 3 stars from 1 because my daughter said hers was ok and they did not charge me for the scrambled eggs. There are plenty of other choices around there, so I'd skip it unless desperate. read more

My first Italian dinner in Italy and my only problem was where to eat. Our hotel were steps from Trevi Fountain and there are--literally--hundreds of restaurants in the area. After looking at several menus, we chose Hostaria Trevi; and what a good choice it was. I've had great pasta in the States and considered myself experienced. My Spaghetti con Polpette was the best I've eaten. The pasta was cooked to al dente perfection. The meat sauce was absolutely fantastic. When I was young, I worked in an Italian restaurant that had spaghetti with meatballs as one of its signature dishes. I learned early in life what good spaghetti should taste like. The Spag MB (restaurant shorthand) at HT was sublime. Maybe being in Rome enhanced my experience, but the folks in the kitchen have some serious skills. I ate my dinner so fast that our Italian server even made a comment--althought it was in Italian. Service was good and our waiter was attentive and spoke some English, which was better than my Italian. The dining area was small and intimate. What I noticed in Rome was many restaurants had small dining rooms and made up for it lots of outside dining. Taking into consideration the city, it's definitely a wonderful way to enjoy a meal in a beautiful city. If you're looking for a place to eat near Fontana di Trevi, you can't go wrong with HT read more

I ordered the first dish from the menu, and I got the dish like this. For a second I thought I was in the wrong restaurant. I saw one American couple sat down and waited for service, 5-7 minutes later they got up and left. Service was slow, but the waiters were friendly. I didn't expect the food to be tasty at the hot tourist spot, but at least it shouldn't present the false image/menu. read more

My last meal in Rome did not disappoint here! Randomly stumbled upon this place after a quick visit to the Trevi fountain and Spanish steps. Quickly seated, everyone was so nice and the food was delicious! Simple, hearty and flavorful. The wine was good too! And there was no over pricing or cover charge here due to the location. I would definitely come back here again. read more

After a long day of wandering and then sitting on the Spanish Steps for three hours, I stumbled across this interesting little spot for dinner in September 2011. Despite the fact that I speak zero Italian, I was able to get through ordering a Birra Peroni and a piece of the housemade lasagna. The beer was amazingly cold and the lasagna was perfect. *Almost* as good as what Mrs. K makes for me. The picture I took just doesn't do it proper justice. Service was good, again that I do not speak Italian was not a problem. My water glass was refilled often and the second beer was just as good as the first. read more

Overall experience: 3.5 This restaurant is in a great location - right next to the Trevi Fountain. I had seen this restaurant on Yelp and saw it had great reviews. I had been in Italy for the last week and honestly, the Italian food had been nothing special. So when I saw that this place had 4.5 reviews, was family owned, and had great pasta I had to come with my family. Unfortunately, only one word could describe my experience - disappointing. Now, service was excellent. But whenever doing these reviews, I have to be as objective and honest as possible. I saw that the spaghetti with meatballs was meant to be very good. Honestly, it was okay. Spaghetti was a decent texture but the sauce was thin and didn't have a strong tomato flavor. Meatballs were very soft but not too bad. The seafood spaghetti was decent. I had some nice seafood flavor in the sauce, but that was not consistent throughout the whole sauce. The shrimp was good but the clams, squid and mussels were underwhelming. The olso bucco did not look like the picture. The picture in the menu had a brown sauce but in person it was red. Perhaps it may be due to it being an acquired taste, but my piece had too much vein and fat. The sauce was not very flavorful but the potatoes were nice and soft. I really wanted to love the food here, but unfortunately it was not as good as a i hoped. The staff here is very nice and the restaurant is nice and clean. Unfortunately, the food was underwhelming. read more

I wanted to have the ultimate Rome experience and try cacio e pepe. After reading the reviews for this restaurant, we decided to try it as it's right down the street from our hotel and around the corner from the Trevi Fountain without the outrageous price gouging you might expect. Each meal was 10€ and a large bottle of still water was 3€ which seems to be the going rate anywhere. The cacio e pepe did not disappoint. The pasta was perfectly al dente and the sauce wasn't overly cheesy or peppery. You can tell they've mastered this specialty. My son is a gnocchi aficionado and raved about his dish which was served with the most amazing pesto sauce. The servings were large. I would have asked for bread to sop that pesto up if I'd been hungry still. read more

Bad service and forced to pay a mandatory 20% tip is insulting. Food was okay but not great.

One word, amazing! The best food we've had all week and I just had a simple spaghetti. The restaurant is run by a friendly old Italian man. I absolutely loved everything we ordered. If we are back in Rome I will be back here again. We order two glasses of vino and a chocolate cake to start. We originally weren't going to eat here and wait for another spot to open at seven but the wine and cake had us hooked. The spaghetti looked basic as well as my boyfriend stuffed pasta. (Looks can be deceiving) The spaghetti was just fantastic, it has so much flavor for being such a basic dish. The only problem we had with my boyfriends food is that there wasn't enough! I of course ate my entire plate until I was stuffed... I shared a little, don't judge me. Don't let this place pass you by, believe me when I say you would be missing out. The prices arent bad on your pocket either. read more

Excellent food and quaint atmosphere. Feels very Roman ... get the house wine for a deal

NOT A TOURIST TRAP - This restaurant is fantastic if you want a great meal in the Trevi area. Food is delicious, service is classic, ambiance...belissimma! You really cant go wrong. The pesto gnocchi was great: It allows me to vouch for the pesto AND gnocchi. The ravioli bolognese was really good. I saw a few locals come in and get to go plates while we were there. read more

It's a small hidden gem near the Trevi Fountain. Sweet little place, friendly owner and staff, menu in all languages and it's not too expensive. Clean bathroom is a plus. The first good spaghetti and meatballs I had in Rome. Loved also the accordionplayer that came in later that night. Music, wine and pasta. What do you want more? I'll be sure to come back here again. read more

This is my first trip to Rome. In past 2 days I tried a few restaurants but this restaurant is my favorite by far. Good taste great and it very authentic. I recommend to everyone visiting Rome to try this place. read more

This is the best meal we had in Italy! We ate here the first night of our 12 day trip and again the last night and it is spectacular! The pesto is herbaceous and garlicky, the pomodoro is exactly what a tomato sauce should taste like. But the best thing ever was the cacio de Pepe pasta. The have gluten free options for pasta as well! Everything has good reviews in Italy, but take it from a plus size food lover, this was the best! read more

We decided to try this spot out because it was close to the Trevi Fountain and it looked like a typical italian restaurant that was affordable. The Italian grandpa walking up and down also helped. The first night I got a lasagna and I was floored. My friend also enjoyed her dish. We had to go back the following 2 nights we were in Rome. I would highly recommend this restaurant. After, you should get dessert at Gelato 54. The gelato tasted so incredibly fresh!!! read more

Not the most romantic setting, but definitely some amazing food for a great price. I had the Gnocchi al Pesto and I would suggest it to everyone that goes for sure. The pizza was great too, I especially liked it because it wasn't very crispy and had that floury bottom with a crunchy crust. Be sure to stop by here for dinner when visiting the Trevi at night. read more

One of the best meals we had in Rome. Try a liter of the house red wine...you won't be disappointed. This place had a great touristiso menu where for 20 euros you get several courses along with wine. In the highly touristy Trevi area this restaurant is a down home Roman style oasis. read more

Fantastic hole-in-the-wall place near the Trevi Fountain. The staff is attentive and speaks English well. The menu is in almost every language you can imagine. I am gluten-free and all their pasta dishes can be made GF. Our 12 yr old daughter enjoyed her food and the atmosphere. read more

The plates were ok.. or even less than ok. Pasta was a little hard and food had no much flavor. Some of them were eatable. We had read the reviews before coming in and they were all good, but let me tell you, it is not as they pictured it. The restaurant is nicely decorated and it is comfy, but the food definitely disappointed us. read more

Unpretentiously great food. The folks are just nice as well. Stop by when you can. The outside may seem not extravagant, but the inside is just as great as the food and the warmth. We ordered beef briskette, calamari, and carbonara -- loved each one! The espresso topped the evening off. We will definitely come back! read more

Absolutely the best authentic Italian food in Rome. I visit this restaurant everytime I come to Italy. The owner of the restaurant is always there to great me. He truly cares that his customers enjoy their meal. I will always stop here for lunch or dinner when I visit Rome. read more

Hostaria Trevi - Best bruschetta I've ever had!! N excellent spaghetti caico e Pepe!! Must try!!! - Italian Near Me - Rome, RM

we went here for my moms birthday because she is gluten free and loves clams and linguini. this restaurant offers pasta in gluten free, which was a nice treat for her. unfortunately the pasta was disappointing. It was buttery and did not have many clams. It had broken clam shell pieces that she kept crunching on. I thought she was going to break a tooth. I had the seafood risotto, it was just ok. My daughter had the veal chop, that was good. the red house wine was very good, and the appetizers we had were also good; the bruscetta and braesola with rocket and parma cheese were both so good. read more

Delicious! Spaghetti and meatballs were amazing. The menu has pictures and is translated in so many languages. The owner is charming. Lots of wonderful pictures on the walls with history of the restaurant. Great find near fountain. read more

Glad we listened to all the good reviews, service was very personal and attentive, food was good and served quickly. Cost was kind to my pocketbook and for those of you who also forget exactly how much 1 liter is don't let the 14 euros fool you like I did, serves about 8 glasses and I had no one to share with. read more

Very welcoming staff and excellent lasagna. Also great for kids with pictures of most dishes. Just feet away from the fountain of Trevi

Cold Birra Peroni. Good food. Good people. Convenient spot if you're visiting Trevi Fountain. I recommend it and I'll come back.
