    Caprese
    Alli C.

    Wow! Best meal in Italy so far! This restaurant is three blocks off the main tourist area by the Colosseum. We went for the Cacio Pepe - and it was to die for! The Caprese Salad was the cheese cloud of my dreams and changed my life. Clean toilette as well - a benefit to any outdoor meal comprising of multiple aperol spritz!

    Oh come on how is this place being recommended?? The amatriciana was weak. Undercooked. Most of the rest of the food was too salty. I've had way better elsewhere. Never coming back here.

    Food: 5 Stars Service: 5 Stars We just happened to stumble across this little gem and it turned out to be one of our favorite places while visiting Rome! The restaurant is small and sits maybe a dozen people at most, so be sure to come early to snag a seat if you can. Our server was incredibly friendly and spoke English which helped us immensely as our Italian wasn't great. Their house made bread is rustic with a beautiful hard crust and soft middle with delicate air pockets laced throughout. It sopped up all sauces without falling apart or turning to mush too soon. The bruschetta was simple... A slice of their rustic bread, toasted. Topped with the freshest vine ripened tomatoes and a full body olive oil. This was a reminder that far too often, we try to complicate dishes in the States when all you really need are fresh high quality ingredients. My pasta was the star of the meal... The hand made pasta was cooked al dente and tossed in a warm tomato cream sauce with Roman-style braised chicken. It was such a comforting dish that made you feel whole. If you can, definitely try to find some time to stop by. You won't be disappointed!

    Delicious food. We had incredible fried cheese, apple, zucchini + flowers as well as artichoke for appetizers, various pasta dishes for our main, and the most incredible chocolate lava cake + tiramisu for dessert. The service was impeccable. The ambiance was great, there is a cute patio in the back where they can open the awning. Thank you for such a memorable last meal in beautiful Roma!

    Excellent food and friendly, personal, service. Our hostess Adriana was particularly friendly and fun. Add in ambiance and a superb view of the Colosseum. What more could you want?

    Burrata with balsamic bacon

    When In Rome! After a log walk around the Colosseum and surrounding sites we were famished and in need of good nourishment...i had been spying different places in Rome but it had been difficult as we were there on 12/24-12/27, so some places were not open...there are Roman traditions of feasting Christmas eve on prefixed menus, also a huge lunch out on Christmas day....alot of "corporates" is what we found and they were sufficient but I was on a foodie mission, i wanted local and neighborhood.... We found it, in a neighborhood south of the Colosseum about a 5 min walk...make a reservation this place seats about 35 tops and doesnt look like much entering but we were in for a treat. Service was excellent food on point...ambience is awesome small neighborhood feel... Food highlights Appetizer of octopus and the burrata with balsamic bacon and tomato Pasta - mind you real fresh made pasta Carbonara was the best i had, bolognese right with it and the ravioli with hazelnuts was sublime.... We desserted with limoncello, 7 shots as the server cheered with us on the house...and met with the chef on our way out as they close in the afternoon, what a way to end our dining in Rome. What an experience, check it out When In Rome Eat local support local live local JC

    I do not give 5 star ratings often, but I Clementini had spectacular service - very entertaining - and deserves a high rating. The location is excellent for a post-dinner stole around the Colosseum. Atmosphere - nothing special. Small place, but don't let the store front look dissuade you. The small area in front almost made us keep walking because it looked like they could not fit a group of 5. But, we asked for a table and were taken into the back main dining area that had plenty of space. Food - very good. From the appetizers - zucchini flowers, bruschetta and mozzarella with bacon. All were excellent. First course - zucchini with mozzarella, tuna, ravioli, carbonara, and baked zucchini Parmesan. One of us had a secundi of pork fillet. All of the first course dishes were fabulous. The pork was a little over cooked. However, it sat on a bed of carrot purée that was nearly frothed into the consistency of whipped cream. It was very, very good. Dessert - homemade coffee ice cream, lemon tart and Millefeuille. All desserts were magnificent. Service - our server was amazing. Super friendly and made lots of suggestions. We spent a couple of hours working through our courses and had a wonderful time. I would have given 4 stars for the restaurant, bit our server put I Clementini over the top to a 5 star rating. Overall - HIGHLY recommend. Spend the time, relax and have a superb meal.

    Filet-medium rare
    Laura W.

    We came here after our original dining choice was closed due to the August 2 week holiday. The reviews looked to be positive on Yelp so we thought this would be a better meal than our not-so-good lunch earlier. My star count reveals this was not the case. We were sat in a back room that was open air to the roof which provided at least some circulation because there was no A/C. Our service was strange. She didn't come over for about 15 minutes after we sat down and when she did she said she'd be right back because she had 2 tables before us. Ok....so we can't even get drinks? She eventually came back and we ordered a bottle of wine. Once she delivered the wine we were ready to order but again, she said she had requests from tables before us that she needed to do before taking our order. Ok.....so she finally takes our order. I ordered the filet-medium and my husband the veal saltimbucca. She then asked why we didn't want any sides (which are extra), which I found to be odd. I thought maybe a caprese salad would be good to share so I ordered that for us as well. Food came all at once and was hard to fit on the small table. The caprese salad was not that good and needed a lot of balsamic, which I added. The tomatoes were rather mushy too. The veal was really tasty but way,way too salty for my liking. My husband enjoyed it though. The filet was cooked appropriately, however, it was unseasoned or not seasoned enough. I would have enjoyed some type of seasoning and perhaps even a sauce or glaze (balsamic reduction comes to mind). We never saw our server again until it was time for the check. I found prices to be high for what we received. Bottom line, I did not enjoy the meal here and I would not recommend dining here if you are in Rome.

    Cake with pastry cream and fresh fruit
    Jordon B.

    We had a lovely Roman meal at this charming Osteria. We started our meal with a fried zucchini blossom stuffed with cheese and anchovy. It was lightly fried and gently stuffed. We also had the grilled octopus presented on a piece of grilled housemade bread and covered with a light Tomato sauce. Both were delicious! For our main courses we had a light tomato and pepper based pasta with chicken, a Carbonara-ish pasta with bacon and Parmesan cheese, and a delicious squid stuffed with spicy chicory. For dessert we enjoyed the beautiful lemon tart with meringue and the special cake with pastry cream and fresh fruit. The portion sizes were perfect, the food was carefully prepared and the service was excellent. Overall I would highly recommend this restaurant!

    Very cool cocktail bar that tries to be a "speakeasy" but doesn't quite reach that level of…read moresecrecy. We wandered in here before dinner in the Trastevere area of Rome looking for a high end cocktail. This place does not disappoint. The decor reminds me of Mardi Gras meets Prohibition... the cocktail menu is unique and the mixologist is simply outstanding. You do need to fill out a slip to "become a member" before they offer you a drink and take your order. While it looks a bit mysterious from the street, this sophisticated tiny cocktail bar is quite something. Definitely a nice place to sip on an elegant mixed adult beverage.

    Niji Cafe is the coolest bar in the Trastevere area…read more They are located next to a restaurant that was actually featured in a Netflix show and since then is forever busy, but next to that craziness you can find a red door which takes you to a magical places of delicious craft cocktails and a cool whimsical vibe. The only thing you need to do once you find the red door, is ring their doorbell and someone will come out and help you. They are a very small bar, so if you have a large party of 4+, I would suggest to make a reservation ahead of time. Their decoration is a mix of Alice in Wonderland with Italian hipster vibe. Everything feels super cool and the atmosphere is very welcoming. The cocktails are delicious and the bartender's english is pretty good, so if you are looking for recommendations he can help you. Another thing that I really like about this place is that people don't smoke inside. There are other speakeasies around town that allow smoking, and I honestly can't be there more than 1 hour. Salute!

    What a cool and chic cocktail bar!…read more My husband and I visited Peaky Blinders kind of by mistake. We were on our way to Jerry Thomas Speakeasy and turned into the wrong street and saw their bright red door. We didn't stop here at first and went on our way to Jerry Thomas. Like always, JT was packed and they said they probably wouldn't have any openings until 1am (it was 9pm). We decided to go back and check out that cute little bar with the bright red door and were quickly welcomed by the owner and staff. This bar is inspired by the show Peaky Blinders and they have a lot of decor that goes in connection to the show. At the time of ordering our drinks, they told us that they didn't have a lot of the ingredients for most of the cocktails in the menu because they couldn't find fresh ingredients in the market and they are very particular as to what they serve to their customers. The owner quickly asked us what we were in the mood for and that he would prepare something unique just for us. I asked him for something fresh, but not too sweet with gin or vodka. He delivered exactly what I asked him and it was the most delicious drinks ever! I was honestly inspired by how passionate he was about the produce he was using in his cocktails, and how much love and dedication he had for serving the best of the best.

    My cousins and I have been here 2 nights in a row, going on 3! You walk down a slightly unsettling…read moreroad into an unexpectedly comfortable and welcoming bar... then you never want to leave. We had an old fashioned, a Daiquiri, and an English Rose (sweet, complex) on the first day, all of which were perfect. I spent 2 or more hours sitting and talking at a comfortable volume, listening to chill music. Lorenzo was our bartender for most of our trip (but we also just met Igino, who is also a great bartender!!), and every drink he made us was exactly what we wanted. On our second day, we had the Manhattan, Lorenzo's version of the English Rose, and a Moscow Mule. Then a new drink with cranberry and almond, another Lorenzo English Rose (because my cousin tasted it and loved it), and another Old Fashioned. Igino also made us some amazing drinks based on what we liked about our other drinks, and made us feel so welcome. Not only are the bartenders, drinks, music, and atmosphere amazing here, but the people who come here and chat with you are also super chill and friendly. You can tell that people who come to this bar are familiar with this place and love it as much as we already do. As cool as some of the bars in this city are, this one is one you can feel at home in. Definitely stop by, because you won't regret it, and you'll probably find yourself coming back as many days as you're here.
