While on vacation in Rome, our tour guide brought us to a local market where we decided to try this restaurant. Maybe it was because the owner/chef was out in the square asking people to try the place. At any rate, we gave it a try and it was quite good. There were a few people sitting outside so we followed suit. It didn't take long for a waiter to come over and take our drink orders. We were hungry so we didn't waste any time ordering drinks and food. I craved salmon and quickly found it on the menu. I ordered a salmon with pasta dish. My friends ordered mussels, pasta Bolognese and a pasta dish with shrimp. Everything looked fresh and smelled really tasty. My friend that ordered the Bolognese didn't get hers until several minutes after the rest of us were served. We were told that her dish took more time to prepare. She sat patiently and when her food arrived, she said that it was worth the wait. We all enjoyed every morsel of food. I wanted more. That's the American gluttonous behavior but the food was absolutely delicious. My pasta was rich, creamy and flavorful. When I was done, I was full. Everything was filling. I was in love! read more

Five stars for the amazing service! My boyfriend and I had only one day to spend in Rome and we wanted to eat in as many restaurants as possible, but were too tired after sightseeing to seek out some of the more popular ones. We figured that any Italian food in Italy would be worth the price anyway, so we decided to dine here because of its proximity to our AirBnB. Hosteria Baullari is located in Campo de Fiori so there is a lot to see before and after you choose to dine with them. The setting is very intimate and like most European cities, you'll do best to dine on the patio so you can do some people watching while you enjoy your meal. My boyfriend opted for pizza while I went for the seafood risotto with mushrooms added into it. Bear with me if I'm a terrible American who didn't realize that there is a difference between the two because the waiter looked at me funny when he asked if I could have mushrooms added in the meal... Regardless of the fact, he was still able to accommodate my request and he did NOT charge me extra for it either. Since wine is so incredibly cheap, we purchased a bottle of their cheapest rosé and thoroughly enjoyed it. We loved our dining experience so much that our server even gave us free shots because he liked our energy! We decided to close the evening with tiramisu which, sadly, I also did not know was more of a mousse since I was expecting a cake... nonetheless still very delicious and oh so cheap! Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend coming here if you're willing to try out a small restaurant with big taste. On the plus side, you may even get some street entertainers to spice up the night like we did! (89/100 - 2018) read more

Beautiful restaurant in campo de fiori with a great view of the square. Came first for lunch and the waiters were very sweet and helpful with questions we had. They spoke pretty good English which made it easy for us to order food and ask questions. I ordered a margherita pizza and inquired about getting sausage on half, which they happily did. The pizza was amazing and the sausage was so tasty. My friend had one of the white pizzas with chicken on top and this was also yummy, although the chicken could've used a little more flavor. We also got a free shot at the end of lunch. Came back for dinner and the service was equally splendid, with two separate waiters making sure we had everything we needed. I had the lamb chops which were very flavorful, but on the small side, making it hard to find the meat on the bone. The roasted potatoes were not my favorite, and I opted for French fries which were basic but good. Would definitely recommend this for anyone looking for great service and good in this area. read more

I agree with the other negative review place....the absolute worst meal we had in Rome. Waiters were SO rude, service was sloppy and slow, wine stale, pizza was undercooked - dont be fooled by the pretty tablecloths and lovely patio - this place is AWFUL! read more

Hosteria Baullari - Italian Near Me - Rome, RM

We loved Hosteria Baullari. It is everything Rick Steves warns you about: the big menu board, a barker asking you to come in, and it is steps away from the touristy farmers' market in Campo dei Fiori. And we found it and the people working there friendly and utterly charming, the food could not be more fresh or delicious, and I would return to Hosteria Baullari without hesitation anytime. One dish, unlike any I had come across before: Caramelle Pistacchi e Pare (caramelle pasta** filled with pistachio nut and pear). Delicious! Four stars. ** I know, I had to look it up: Caramella pasta is stuffed pasta, shaped like a candy whose plastic wrapper are twisted at both ends to seal them. read more

After a fun day of walking around and exploring Rome, we stopped here for lunch. Heavy foot traffic and big tourist area, we were too hungry to be picky. The three of us each ordered an entree, the cheese ravioli, pepperoni pizza and the seafood pasta. Very filling, the tomatoes in my cheese raviolis were extremely delicious. Fresh ingredients. Chicken pasta with cream sauce, very tasty. The pizza was a little basic, but we asked for extra Parmesan and herbs for a more lovely flavor. The staff were all very attentive and friendly. Great location, good food portions, wonderful staff, simple Italian dishes. Keep up the good work guys. read more

This place is a tourist trap: AVOID AT ALL COST. We've been traveling for close to 2 weeks and my kids were excited to see French toast and Belgium waffle on a menu. Worst breakfast ever. The waffle was size of my palm and tough. Covered with chocolate syrup and my kid couldn't eat it. The French Toast was crispy, looked like fried catfish; again inedible. My eggs had a weird, unnatural orange color to it. TO top it off they gave themselves a 20% service tip, unheard of in any of the restaurants that I have been at in Italy. read more

This place gives itself a 20% tip ... the nerve... just takes the money stole a tip And... and they know the food is the worst... even my friend of over 18 years said this place is terrible do not eat here! read more

We ate here on the third of september. The person outside was very friendly in approaching us outside the restaurant. When we chose for them, we even received a free glass of good champagne. Their prices were very good. I had a special, a big t-bone steak cooked to perfect medium with a side salad and grilled potatoes. My girlfriend had a very good pizza Parmigiana with eggplant and parmesan cheese. The service was fast and great. A perfect place for dinner on a beautiful square in Rome. read more

Best tiramisu of my life. Great location- right in the piazza: Campo di Fiori. Free WiFi. Grappa was very strong, but not all that delicious. read more

Hosteria Baullari - Tiramisu - Italian Near Me - Rome, RM

As soon as I approached this restaurant the atmosphere. was great. They had a greeter approach us and persuade us to come by. We decided to sit down and try some Italian pizza before starting our day. Our waiter was so nice and friendly and gave us several compliments (flirting). They were very happy to give us our choice of meat which wasn't included in the menu. Pizza was delicious!!! I am interested in coming back before my stay is up. read more

We visited the Hosteria Baullari twice, the first time for a late night bottle of wine and the second for dinner. Being just slightly off the Campo dei Fiore makes for excellent people watching. The host and wait staff were excellent and made for an enjoyable evening both times. Sitting outside was very comfortable and we felt a part of the piazza activities. Prices were very affordable considering the touristy location and the food was very good. It wasn't the best food we ate in the area but was certainly worth the price. It should be noted their toilets are absolutely the nicest in Rome adding a very classy touch. read more

The thing about Italy is every time you turn around, there's more great food to eat and even more historical sights to see. This place was perfect for impatient American tourists like my husband and me. The staff was friendly, the drinks came to our table quickly, and the pizza followed shortly thereafter. The pizza was also delicious! read more

Great place to get screwed! I urge all fellow travelers to Rome - STAY AWAY! We ate breakfast here and they obviously saw a great opportunity to screw over some Americans. We ordered a two egg breakfast and got charged for 6 EGGS (they only brought us two eggs but claimed after the fact that we had eaten 6). In addition to trying to convince us that the two eggs we ordered were actually 6 eggs (maybe if they had been miniature eggs this could have made sense), a "complementary" side of fruit instead of meat turned into a 7 Euro fruit plate (again not what we wanted). Waiter then kept lying about what we had said and what he had brought and it was immediately clear what game he was playing. Coffee was terrible, bread was stale, fruit was bland, eggs had no flavor, and the service was horrible. Rome has amazing restaurants. Campo do Fiore has dozens of high quality spots to eat (including Obica which is literally right across the street) where you will not get screwed. Again, all fellow travelers, stay away from this place! read more

In the middle of a busy piazza and farmers market. So yes, touristy but the food was very good as was the service. No issues. Good water mist machines to bear the heat in the summer. Pics to follow ! read more

Please do not come to this TOURIST TRAP! Food is old crusty and overpriced. Had to give the owner a piece of my mind. Self imposed 20 percent tip- I shouldn't have paid it. read more

Excellent service from our waiter Massimo, we ordered croquettes as an appetizer and they were amazing! The pasta was great, specially the lasagna The place is very cozy and everyone is so nice!! read more

Worst service ever!!! The servers are rude and the food is nothing out of the ordinary. Avoid this tourist trap! There are plenty of good restaurants in Rome where to spend your time and money; not here, for sure. read more

Loved this place so much we went a second time. Lots of food so sharing is a great idea so you can sample the various flavors. Everything we got from pasta to pizza was full of flavor and satisfying. They have a full menu and so it made it easier to accomodate our vegetarian eater as well. The staff is funny and speak fabulous English. read more

Loved this place! This was our first great dinner in Italy. The two other restaurants we had come to served mediocre food and the service was terrible. Here the food was delicious, and the service was fantastic! Would certainly recommend. read more

This was a charming little restaurant. The night we were there, they had a piano player, which just added to the quaintness. It was easily the best carbonara I've ever had. It's a great little find. read more

I was there in March and had a great time. Great experience and I would recommend to stop there when in Rome :).

We had the most amazing pasta, and the wine list is incredible. Didn't think it could get any better until we had the most mind blowing desert. (creme Brule - they call it something else - and tiramisu) Excellent service too. read more

Stopped by for a late lunch after spending the morning touring the Vatican. Agree with all the caveats made by other reviewers (it has all the trappings of a tourist trap), but we had a good experience here. I had the seafood salad starter, my wife had the insalada misto, and we split a caprese salad. Plentiful portions, food was solid if not memorable, and the service was friendly and good. Wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again but I wouldn't avoid it either. read more
