This was one of the first restaurants we visited when we got to Rome Italy. It was a recommendation from a friend. It was seriously the best pasta dish of the whole trip. It was the spinach truffle ravioli pasta dish. I mean just so flavorful, pasta cooked perfectly al dente. Our waiter was super nice and knowledgeable. We also got a bottle of wine that was out of the world, they have many nice options to choose from. Cant wait to come back and visit! read more

Honestly very pleasantly surprised by this restaurant given it's in such a touristy area. Probably the only restaurant I would eat at again near the Fountain. They have a good house wine, ask for it. It was the Rosso from Pietromergevini. Nice ambiance, good food. We had the Cacio e pepe and it was delicious. The Pumpkin ravioli was good in its own right but didn't taste much like pumpkin as I would've liked. Come give it a try, otherwise go outside areas like Ponte or Trastevere, San Lorenzo or Testaccio to get some really good Italian/Roman food. read more

We noticed it was filled with a blend of locals so assumed it was somewhat authentic - and only a short walking distance from Trevi Fountain. Here are the highlights: -It's loud and straightforward . Yes, like that episode of Seinfeld. - Food and Service is EXCELLENT -Great place to people watch and have that extra glass of wine after dinner with some of the most amazing desert. - To many delicious food options to take pictures or comment about. - Highly recommend my fellow yelpers. read more

Such a beautiful restaurant in what can be a complete tourist trap of an area. Americans will feel this is on par with nice dining experiences at home. The food was excellent, the setting was beautiful and the service was responsive. Try the strawberry puff pastry for desert, perfect balance not overly sweet! read more

Last night in Rome and was looking for somewhere good near our apartment. We visited after looking online for a good place near by. It was about 9pm (21:00) on a Thursday night, and the outside patio was full and the inside was nearly full. We waited outside for a table, and were seated in about 10 minutes. The outside seating was set up as many small table very close to one another, almost as if sitting at a long single table. We were very hungry and ordered right away. There was an English menu. I had the Spaghetti alla Carbonara and my friend had the Bucatini alla Amatriciana. Food was delivered quickly, and it was good food. Solid food for a reasonable price. Not the best Italian food I've ever had, but definitely good for being so close to the Trevi Fountain. The service wasn't excellent, and the waitress was rather short, but it was a very busy night. We also had dessert: I had the tiramisu and my friend had the puff pastry with mascarpone and strawberries. They were very good. We were satisfied with our experience. read more

We were on our last night in Rome on our way to Sorrento. We really wanted an outstanding pasta restaurant and found this place based on reviews. Even though it's in a touristy section and around the corner from the Trevi Fountain; you can't go wrong on the pasta. We made the trip back to that area around 7 and waited in line for 20 minutes. The wait staffer that greeted us was Alex. First impressions go a long way. He was patient and understanding and provided us with a requested outdoor seat. Once seated, his attentiveness to us was excellent. He provided recommendations and made sure all our needs were met. For an appetizer, we ordered the La Chianti salad with spelt and it was fresh & delicious. They give you fresh bread as well. I ordered the pasta with eggplant based off of Alex's recommendation and my wife got the fresh tomato pasta. Both were outstanding. For dessert, I got the cheesecake and my wife got hazelnut ice mousse. Again outstanding! The ambience was nice outside with the glowing lights. We fortunately sat towards the back away from the alleyway and crowd noise. I told the manager how the food was and mentioned how Alex showed his attention towards us. read more

This restaurant is a good introduction to Rome. We had it as our first meal there, and was glad to see that the dishes were loyal to a more traditional style of Italian food. The price was good for its dishes. I had the gnocchi, which was really traditionally made. The tomato sauce was nice and fresh. We also tried the mushroom pizza, which was thin-crusted so it was good to eat without being all filled up later. The best dish was the codfish with tomato sauce, it was honestly so flavorful that my mom devoured it in 10 minutes, and she never devours. Definitely wasn't hard to get a table, but we arrived at 2ish which was close to when their lunchtime ended so keep that in mind if you want a late lunch! read more

This place was recommended by family. I wanted to go see Trevi Fountain at night, and this place was nearby, so we went. It was a busy restaurant, but luckily we knew to get reservations. The tables were a bit tiny and close together, but I think it's not too abnormal. We got rabbit and pasta. They were both very well seasoned and cooked. It was delicious. And our waitress was very nice and friendly. She checked on us regularly, but didn't over do it. And she was the most prompt when it came time for us to get the check and go. read more

HEY what's with all the high ratings and the big queue to get a table?! We ate here and found it to be very ordinary tourist fare ( which is exactly what you would expect from the location). They were kinda snooty when my wife made a reservation. The man at the desk taking the reservation was very dismissive and arrogant. When we arrived, they tried to seat us inside even though there were lots of outside tables and hey, we had a reservation. The pasta was a little overdone and bland, the waiter was nice but he never asked us how our food was, the bruschetta was marginal, other items were passable but no better than that, they added a charge for bread we didn't order and so on. We also ate at That's Amore and Locanda, both just up the street from Chianti and both better food service and value. read more

Stumbled upon this place in Rome and it was more than great. The service was one of the best I've seen since being in Rome. They were very kind and gave my party and I a few free things. The food was DELICIOUS and ambience was outstanding read more

I am traveling alone and decided to try this place because of its positive reviews. Thoroughly disappointed. I was definitely overlooked because I wasn't Italian. The ladies working barely looked at me the entire time and was very blunt. I ordered the gnocchi and it came out lukewarm verging on cold. The table of italian girls next to me got parmesean and pepper while I received no service. The server also asked how their meal was while no one came to me the entire time I ate. Gnocchi was below average. Service was terrible. Don't recommend this place if you're a tourist. read more

Very disappointed with the food. Meatballs were crazy salty and luke warm, spinach and cheese ravioli good but again like warm. Panzanella salad was delicious. Wait staff nice but not to attentive, maybe that's an Italian thing? They are not crazy busy. read more

This is a very busy restaurant right next to the fountain. The restaurant is very large with a large sitting area downstairs. The waitstaff speaks many languages including English, Italian, and Spanish. The food is generally very good. The steak was excellent. The pasta is on par with most places around. The wine selection is excellent. The food is pricey because of the location. read more

Visited the restaurant having received a number of recommendations, also the reviews on yelp were very complimentary, no wonder the queues outside the restaurant are so long. But here is the thing the ravioli, mushroom gnocchi and braised steak with grilled potatoes were all average and disappointing given the high expectations driven by the good reviews. I would not go back as there are better restaurants in Rome to enjoy. read more

Got in with no reservation, was seated in the basement. Had the Carbonara, the gnocchi, and the minestrone. The soup was wonderful, gnocchi was great to, but the carbonara was way to salty for my taste. Pasta was fresh, but nothing really memorable overall. read more

Excellent food and wine. The service is also great. The place is busy and lively which I like. Very close to Trevi worth a wait. Pasta and veal were very good. read more

Do not go here. We have no idea why there are so many good reviews. The amount of fruit flies in this restaurant was sickening. We had about 6 flying around us throughout our entire dinner and then glanced up at the ceiling to see hundreds. Secondly, we received our bread basket and noticed some of the pieces had bites out of them. We then noticed that they take every bread basket off the table after you are done with it and throw it back into their community pot where they "recycle" it and add it to a new basket for another table. So so disgusting. We couldn't get out of this place fast enough. read more

I found this little charming restaurant and wine bar while walking through Rome. Great location, excellent food and wine. It was so good that we came back on our last day to just spend the afternoon there with some good food and wine again. We tried the cheese plate, the pasta with boar ragu and the pasta with pork. Everything was delicious. The service was friendly, prices were reasonable. read more

My favorite restaurant we ate at in Rome!! So good we went back twice! Both times I had the fettuccine del Chianti. It was perfect as i also sipped the Chianti Classico! Thank you for a great experience!!! read more

We went here after visiting the Fontana di Trevi. It's very close by on the side of the road. The wait was about 10 minutes even though a lot of people were standing in the waiting area. A mixed crowd of locals and tourists. We ordered so much food! The Cacio e Pepe, paparadelle, prosciutto and dinghies pizza, and the bistecca steak. My boyfriend and I were not disappointed at all. read more

Such a great restaurant in Rome. We were a bit nervous because there was a line to be seated, but we were seated at a table within 30 minutes and it's definitely worth the wait. Service was fantastic and food delicious. We had cheese and cured meats as starter and we cleaned the plate. A great start to a wonderful dinner. We ordered a variety of pasta dishes and they were all superb. Definitely end the meal with tiramisu. It's light, not overly sweet and very satisfying. read more

The pizza was moderately good, thinner and crispier than I had preferred. The ravioli was good but unremarkable. The location is great, just a short walk from major attractions with plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy people watching and the waitstaff were very polite and friendly. read more

I loved the food and wine here and given the location, the price was reasonable too. However, I didn't like the service at all, specially for a place located in a popular tourist spot. They served us a basket of bread without asking, hence we assumed it was complimentary, but was charged. Even if this is a norm in Rome,they should have asked before serving- we're Indians who live in NY, there's no way we don't look like tourists. When we asked for Olive oil for the bread, they gave us just the bottles - to be poured on our hands? Could've given us a side plate. Overall, won't go again. read more

Nice place, clean and pleasant and spacious. Good food and good location. Would recommend

Very close to Trevi Fountain. Very busy and crowded restaurant. Don't be put off by the host/hostess. Food is good. Service is good.

Great restaurant in Rome, the location is just perfect when you're visiting the Fontana di Trevi, it's very big and cozy as well, even the outside tables are comfy even though there's a lot of people walking by. The food is amazing, perfectly cooked pizza and their T-Bone Steak is just marvelous! (Although mine lacked some salt, but that's just preference ain't it?) Staff is nice and watchful. read more

Very good! We had the sample plate, the biggest one and it's just a lot of food, a plate full with awesome meat and cheese, the best thing tho is the spicy jam! You can buy the jam to take home €8 for a jar read more

Wonderful experience. Near the Trevi fountain. Went on a Friday night, they were very busy, but the hostess outside taking names was very friendly. We asked to be seated outside, an available table came up inside first and she checked with us again, before giving the table to someone else. We sat inside the atmosphere was cozy and relaxing. The food was to die for, the homemade STROZZAPRETI PASTA, WITH TOMATO SAUCE, GARLIC AND CHIANTI OLIVE OIL was out of this world. Everything was wonderful, the waiter soooo friendly. Just a fantastic experience. read more

Superb food we called ahead to get a table and our wait was only about 15 min. We say inside which had A/C (it was a hot day and we would have been seated outside if we weren't tired of the heat - early July). I had the pappardelle al ragu di cinghiale (wild boar sauce) which was so delicious. I was full half way through but kept eating because it was absolutely delicious. My husband had the Strozzapreti all' aglione (Strozzapreti pasta with tomato sauce in chianti olive oil). Both were delicious. The pastas are house/home made and the quality is superb. Will come again. Also a important point...the dinner was very inexpensive. And that was with wine as well. read more

I lived in Rome ten years ago, at that time this was my favorite restaurant in the city. Ten years later, it still is. It's become a larger restaurant but the food and service is still superb. The meat and cheese plates are stunning and have something for everyone. The pastas are perfectly cooked and have distinctive sauces that stick in your mind (I'm still dreaming of the mushrooms!) The boar was tender and the sauce was addictive. My husband is gluten sensitive and our waitress, Katrina, was helpful in finding dishes that would be safe for him to eat. I can tell you, he did not feel like he was missing out! (See picture below of the pasta!) If you have one meal in Rome come here, seriously. You will NOT regret it. read more

Right round the corner from the Trevi fountain but thankfully not a tourist trap. Appears popular with locals judging from the late afternoon crowd. Great ravioli; tasty and simple. Super house wine; Chianti Classico (pun intended). Reasonably priced and attentive service. Worth a repeat visit. read more

We stopped in after checking out the Trevi Fountain. We got in around 7:30 and we didn't need a reservation. Our waitress recommended a lovely white wine for us that we fell in love with. My wife got the ravioli and she loved it. I ordered the cacio de Pepe. The noodles were chewier than expected but the flavor made up for it. For a bottle of wine, 2 mains and a basket of bread we paid €50 so very reasonable and excellent food. read more
