    This was recommended from a tour guide and the front desk also gave an ok but it unfortunately fell short. Cacio e Pepe - over sauced with cheese as the pasta was drowning and the balance of pepper to cheese was not proportional as this signature dish of Roma was a big disappointment. Funghi Fettucine- the mushrooms were lackluster and the pasta was not al dente, as it was very poor representation of the local ingredients. The outdoor setting for Corallo is nice and the service was quick but the 2 dishes were unfortunately a poor start to the trip.

    My goodness!! AMAZING food and service. We came in just for a midday snack and prosecco. The steam clam appetizer was so big. I couldn't even finish. It was absolutely delicious. My husband had the fried fish. Very generous portions. We of course made room for some crème brûlée and it was perfect in every way. The atmosphere is delightful in here and the staff is very pleasant. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    First meal in Rome!

    I was veryyyyyy disappointed. My first meal in a Italy and I didn't like it the pasta tasted undercooked and salty. No one liked their food in the group. I wouldn't come back. Plenty of seating, free bread (which was hard and cold), bottled water (have to pay), and nice waiters.

    Great location, close to piazza navona and to multiple bars and restaurants. Good ambiance, service was also good. I had a pizza. Nice and thin with a crispy edge. Fresh mushrooms, savory sausage and great tomato sauce. Ate the whole thing, paired up with a cold moretti beer . If you like this review don't forget to click on any of the CFU buttons.

    Went here for lunch, got a bruschetta and the cacio e pepe in a parmesan bowl! Both were very good. The girl serving us was nice as well.

    Great hidden restaurant, first time we tried to enter it was close to 2pm they were closing, came back at 7pm and restaurant had no lines. After dinner there was easily a hefty waiting line. Food was relly good and tasty, the half a bottle of their home red wine was good. Will come back to try more. Waiters are very helpful and they speak english.

    Stopped in on our first night in Rome. We were exhausted after traveling and wanted an early dinner close to our hotel. Il Corallo opened at 6:30 and we were seated immediately. The restaurant began filling up and was completely packed by 7 p.m. Lots of tourists but not a "tourist trap". The food was excellent and we all enjoyed our meal.

    Enjoyed the fettuccini with black truffle cream - however saw other diners sending back muscles and clams 3 times - the pizza crust was awesome but it arrived cold. I liked the atmosphere and waiters were great considering level of activity this night - would come back and try again.

    What a gem of a place. My boyfriend & I were in Rome during a holiday, so many of the restaurants we'd browsed before arriving were closed. We found Il Corallo on Yelp and decided to go for it. Did not have a reservation, but wait time was minimal (2 minutes max). We were seated inside and did have to wait a little before staff approached us, but everyone was very friendly. Between the two of us, we ordered focaccia & prosciutto (I could have left a 5 star review on this alone), fettuccine alla gricia con tartufo (basically cacio e pepe but with pancetta & black truffle cream - flavors perfectly blended) and a diavola pizza (dreaming about this pizza still). We did not know that focaccia = insanely flavored pizza crust, but no complaints over here with our two "pizzas". Everything was insanely delicious - would absolutely recommend! One note on wine - being from the US, we anticipated all bottles of wine to be way overpriced vs market value, but we ordered a bottle of Brunello, priced at 60 euro and when we checked against Vivino app, it showed $60 in the states. Would recommend that top bottle of red on the menu, but more of a fun added fact :)

    Steak & potatoes, fettucine
    Caitlyn W.

    By far the best meal I had while in Rome - possibly one of the best meals I've ever had! We came here on a recommendation, and ended up coming back two more times. I ordered the Fettucine gnocchi and it was the best pasta I had my entire 2 weeks in Italy. I also tried the steak and potatoes, which was absolutely phenomenal. The staff is knowledgeable and attentive without being overbearing, and the atmosphere is romantic.

    Panna cotta with a strawberry sauce...another perfect dish!

    Review # 1200 After…read moresome shopping on the Via cola Di Riemzo, we were ready for lunch. This spot was a Yelp find. We arrived just before they opened at 12:30. We asked for a table outside and the kind lady asked us if we had a reservation (oh oh). We didn't. No problem as we took our pick of one of the tables. Two levels inside with a small Bar in the back. Before we knew it, outside seating was full and inside also filled up-a good sign. We ordered a liter (ended up being too much but when in Rome...) of their house Red and enjoyed it. For starters, we ordered the Fried Artichokes (thick breading and will order the Roman style with garlic/vinegar next time), fried Zucchini and Suppli-Cacio Pepe. The Suppli was delicious and was enjoyed the most. For main, it was Pasta Carbonara (Guanciale )-Proper carbonara and the streak of not having a bad version of this dish in Rome continues. The sliced Beef with mushrooms was also delicious -super tender and thin pieces of beef (medium rare as requested). We asked if the Tiramisu was house-made. Our server answered, "yes, and I am the one who makes it." How could we not order after that?! One of the best Tiramisus we've had. Perfect balance of coffee dipped lady fingers with cream-delicious! Our Server was kind, attentive and full of hustle -she was covering a lot of ground. Don't miss this Gem if you are in the Prati district.

I had possibly the most amazing chick food pasta a girl could imagine. Girls know what girl food is. The pasta in Italy is just better -obviously. But then put all sorts of girl flavors on it like Lemon and Orange, just lightly enough, zest with a small hint of cheese-..... omgosh. Yes, yes, and yes. Need my hubs to replicate at home. He is going to be busy trying to perfect this. Tagliatelle with orange and lemon parmesan. This was it. It was the best. Everything else we ordered was amazing as well. Wait outside. They don't have a sign telling you to wait, no server telling you to wait. You wait out there, wondering if you're in the right place, but then people stand behind you and you're like - oh! I'm here. This is the place. There are possibly 4 tables inside. It's small. I read about them being rude- we did not have that problem. In fact, they made a mistake and we kindly let them know we ordered something else- they corrected it and were nice about it.

So happy we did as this place definitely delivers. There is seriously like 8 tables in the dining room so expect a wait in line but trust me, it's worth it. We waited outside for about 25 minutes. They do take your order while in line so the wait for food (once you do get a table) is abbreviated. Out of the world pastas and the pistachio tiramisu is seriously out of this world. Inexpensive table wine rounds out a great meal. This is the type of place I love to go to. It's quaint, zero pretense and delivers on its food. A great find!
