Nice hidden spot (hole in a wall vibe) calm outdoor seating. Had lunch here and I left with a happy tummy. Had the chicken, steak, and grilled seasonal veggies. Washed it down with a nice cold Moretti beer. Service was sort of slow, but server was still caring and nice. read more

Il Fico - Grandmas meatballs with pasta! And risotto bolognese. - Italian Near Me - Rome, RM

We accidentally stumbled upon this place while touring the city and absolutely loved the food. The Vongole pasta was amazing and the fish of the day was made deliciously. The two pizzas we tried, the Margarita Pizza and the cheese, olive and honey Pizza was perfectly made! We highly recommend this place if you're in the area! Also the pictures on Yelp are from the old restaurant. It now has a new owner and has been updated! read more

Amazing! Stopped for small plates, had carbonara and zucchini blossoms! Excellent! Wine by the glass was reasonably charged. The server was super Duper nice if I get back to Rome I'm coming here for a full dinner!!! read more

We stumbled upon this gem as it was across the street from our Aparthotel. The restaurant has new owners and the kindest waitstaff! We ended up going three times while we were in Rome! They all speak English, and Julia- one of the waitstaff is from the US. The chef was fantastic, the drinks were fantastic and the ambiance was warm and inviting. We truly felt like family. We met others who were also told of this place through word of mouth! Reservations are needed after 7 as they are packed every evening! read more

Thats right, 5 stars ! I do not know what that italian lady wrote in her review, its just wrong. Now I don't know a lot about food, but if I am willing to walk a mile with my achy flat feet, to come back the next day and eat again at the same place, it is just amazing. Ok, so this place has to be in my top ten in rome where I dined. I was here for lunch and came back the next day for dinner. I loved it, the staff was super friendly, the owner, Andreas was very helpful and an absolute pleasure to talk to and really when you have good food all around the city what really sets a place aside is the service. This place offered that on top of the exceptional food. The bruschettas were amazing, the best in town. If I remember correctly they make their own bread and that makes the difference. I think we had tiramisu for dessert on both days and it was just divine. 5 stars, and since its election season here in the US - I am the king of rome and I endorse this message ! read more

Pizza Boscaiola was epic!!!! If you're looking for a good pizza restaurant, go to Il Fico. My mom had spicy spaghetti. She said it was rich and delicious! We have been traveling all over Italy and had a competition for which pizza was the bes. For me and my brother IL FICO is in first place now. This was written by my 10 year old son. read more

I found this to be a wonderful unspoiled neighborhood spot that was largely frequented by locals. We came here for dinner a couple nights based upon the recommendation of our innkeeper. The food is pretty traditionally Roman. The pici with amatriciana sauce was pretty good. The bruschetta al pomodoro was delicious-- the best we had during several stops in Italy. The outer crust of the bread was crunchy with the inner center being just the right amount of soggy from the red-ripe tomatoes and basil with olive oil. One night, a special of grilled fish we had ranked as one of the two best fish preparations I have ever had-- the other being years ago at a beachside cafe' in Santorini. The service is a little hit or miss, and it gets crowded so you are not guaranteed a table outside; however, the inside is modern farmhouse kitsch that is fun. House wines are relative bargains. I loved the Bianchi, which had just a touch of effervescence and --careful-- can easily be drunk by the carafe! Note: if Fico is busy, avoid the other place down the alley. We got lured into the competitor one night by their offer of a glass of wine while we waited and the food was terrible! We should have stuck with Il Fico that night, too. read more

18 Feb 12: I read reviews of this restaurant on a travel site and what sparked my taste buds were the words, "Octopus salad." It was a good 20 minute walk from my hotel, so I headed out a little early so I could enjoy the street scenes. I got to the restaurant about 8 minutes before my reservation time and saw just a few people sitting inside. My heart sank a little, as I was expecting to see the place full with diners. I walked around a few more minutes and then went inside the restaurant. I was greeted with a warm smile from Giovanna, the waitress who took care of me throughout the night. I was given a small glass of prosecco. I thought that was a nice touch! The place filled quickly, although only to about 80% capacity. There were lots of Italians, which is always a good sign. I had a delicious meal: I started with fried stuffed zucchini flowers with anchovies and cheese. They were really good! 3€. Then I had the octopus salad, which I thoroughly enjoyed. 6€. For my entrée, I had the saltimbocca, which came out quickly. Two pieces, cut very thin, topped with proscuitto, and served with a nice light sauce. Small portions but quite flavorsome. With wine (and complimentary limoncello and biscotti) my bill came to 25€. I thought this to be an excellent value along with very friendly service and I'm so glad I picked this place for dinner. I definitely want to come back here again. read more

My favorite restaurant in Rome! The food is incredible, I had the marg pizza and wow the crust was so thin. I also had the fettuccine with mushrooms which also blew me away. The give you a small glass of Prosecco when you sit down and the service is so nice and friendly. Highly recommend! read more

Food was pretty bad. Not sure how this place has good reviews. I ordered margherita pizza and it had almost no sauce. I had to ask for a side of marinara to put on each piece myself. I also ordered spaghetti and at first it came out more than al dente! I had to send it back to actually cook the pasta more. The spaghetti was decent. The service by the girl was outstanding. The short guy was a jerk, gave me attitude because I wanted to wait for a seat outside. He was giving a death stare to a man who was playing music outside. The music was very pleasant and the business should welcome the music! 2 stars for the girl who was giving great service and for the coke, which they couldn't mess up! read more

Absolutely delicious. Authentic Italian pizza that melts in your mouth. My favorite place in Rome!

Great spot, recently remodeled and good ambiance inside and outside. The food was really good and I would recommend it to anyone in the area. read more

Everything was delicious, best we had in Rome for decent price. Portion size was a little small for some dishes, but overall everything was amazing. We've traveled all over Europe, and this was the only restaurant we went to twice. read more

We're in Rome with our grandchildren and went to Il Fico because it was near (we could see from our VRBO). It was a very pleasant surprise. The food was good, the service was excellent, and it was a charming place. read more

I had this meal paid for me, so I decided to go big or go home. The seafood pasta dish was pretty decent, but also a little drippy! The steak was fairly good, but not worth investing too much in. However, the bread before the meal was off the hook. I also had a bunch of friends who got the pesto gnocchi and raved about it. read more

A great first night in Rome dinner. The twins Armando and Rudy made it special! Good food, good drink and good fun! We drank house wine with each of us trying different items. Carbonara, gnocchi, Margherita pizza and spaghetti with pork all good! Only negative was my appetizer of eggplant parmigiana was way too small, could have eaten 6 of them!! Delicious! read more

Il Fico - What a great time with the twins! Armando and Rudy and Tom and Terry! Felt like family! Good food, service and atmosphere! - Italian Near Me - Rome, RM

Excellent place!! Pizza is just perfect. Service and friendliness of the staff is very impressive. Definetely give the place a try.

We have been in in Italy 7 days and found some amazing people and places. This Rome Italian restaurant is on a quiet side street; but well worth the walk and visit. Thank you for a delicious meal. IL FICO Peter T read more

We loved the food and atmosphere here so much we made a reservation for Christmas dinner and were not sorry we did. Friendly, warm service, a diverse and creative menu, and traditional preparation. We tried several dishes and shared them all - all perfetto. Favorite restaurant in Rome. read more

First night in Rome. Would love to score higher but can't. The house wine was okay. And the waiter forgot and it took forever to come. We ordered the Caprese Salad to share as it was late. The cheese and tomato were fresh, but there was very little spice or interesting flavor to it. read more

I first visited IL FICO with my art professor and a few classmates back in 2011. Ever since, it has been on the list of restaurants I've visited when in Rome. I visited last night, and once again it did not disappoint. Fabio was extremely polite and introduced himself which was nice. Definitely coming back in the future. Thank you IL FICO for being the best restaurant experience in Rome! read more

Good honest food, lamb like what id expect from farm butchrt average salad, eggplant Parma, acceptable house red, 66.50 euro for 4

After many locals warned us about bad tourist food in the area, we picked carefully. Il Fico exceeded all expectations. Armando gave us spectacular service. I highly recommend this place for the food, the atmosphere, and the location. Every employee we interacted with, including the owner, as well as Armando's twin brother, had a wonderful sense of humor and were very gracious hosts. Thank you Il Fico! read more

This place was tasty. We looked over the menu and had an idea of a few things, so we asked our waitress and she helped us pick some and recommended a different antipasto that we were very hesitant about (fried anchovies). They ended up being incredibly tasty. We had duck breast with fig (hence the il Fico name) and it was the best duck we have ever had anywhere. We also had a creamy pasta with artichoke and pork cheek. SO tasty! House white was good also. Service was excellent. The table next to us complained their pasta was undercooked, the waitress explained it was Italian and al dente but offered them something else. They actually ended up shorting on the bill but she handled everything really well. Very impressive little place and we sat outside. read more

We had an early family dinner here. No crowd and easy to find a sitting. We were pleased to find a wide variety on the menu. The food was quite good. I loved the gnocchi. My wife loved the ravioli. The staff was quite welcoming. The staff was attentive, tolerated my very poor Italian, and helped with ready english when I was stuck. I cant wait to go back! Indoors was comfortable, but the fun is always on the streets in these little neighborhoods, so next time we will sit outside. read more

We went here as a group of 4 adults after visiting some nearby attractions. I had the gnocchi which was some of the best I had in Rome. It tasted fresh and had a great texture. But above all, we enjoyed the service more than anything. Even on a busy weekend night, the servers (and operators) Armando and Rudi were absolutely amazing. Not only were they on the ball for drink refills or other requests, but they were charming and entertaining too. They allowed us to hang out there for a while to relax after a long day of walking and even stopped at the table just to converse a bit. read more

Got the carbonara. Delicious. Great service and great food. Would definitely come again.

Every thing here was great. We had ravioli with spinach and ricotta with red sauce and their past. Both entrees were fantastic. I'm giving this place a 4 star instead of a 5 star because it was a little warm inside. But all in all nice little restaurant here in Rome. read more

We were here 10 years ago, and it was not nearly as good this time. The house wine was good, and the pasta in the carbonara was excellent, but the dish had way too much cheese and more salt than I would have liked. read more

Menu options were great. 13,50. + 1,50 for fresh pasta...WORTH IT!! wine and water included...Yas please!

My wife, 2 year old son and I were made to feel very welcome. Immediately they brought crayons and paper for my son to entertain him. Service was very efficient and food was lovely. We both chose different pizza's and loved them. Great service, great food. What more could you ask for! read more

The food at this place is beyond good. Had the Buffala and the Focaccia and both were amazing, you can truly taste the excellence of the ingredients. I had the opportunity to try other places here in Rome that claimed to be authentic and it was just a disappointment then I realized that there is no other place like IL FICO. read more

This place has it all....location, great food and an outstanding wait staff. Have eaten here on all trips to Rome and have never been disappointed. Food rates with the fancier places. It is a fun place to eat and the atmosphere can't be bet. Worth ssix stars. Jim S. and wife read more

Fantastic food. We enjoyed the pastas, pizza and the beef filet, great wines and their fantastic home made bread. The best bread we had in Italy. Also the best tiramisu ever. Comfortable setting and staff. We will definitely recommend to friends going to Rome. read more

Stumbled on this restaurant. Excellent food,fabulous buffalo mozzarella and fantastic pizza. Great house wine and great service from all staff especially Fabio. Recommend strongly. read more

After 7 days traveling Italy and eating lots of delicious inexpensive food this was the worst dinner we had. The carbonara tasted very off, and when another patron remarked "this tastes like nacho cheese!" we found that to be exactly the case. The cheese on the pizza was practically inedible. We left unable to finish even half our meal. read more

This place is the best kept secret in all of Rome. The food (everything) is high quality and super delicious. Service is equally superb. We tried many restaurants here, but none comes close to Il Fico. We have eaten here twice and will return again during our stay here. read more

I ate here on the recommendation of the B&B staff. It is the top restaurant on their list, in fact. The prices are reasonable, the food is very good, and the waitstaff is exceptional. I am forever indebted to them for making my first dinner in Rome so pleasant. This restaurant is slightly off the main drag of the neighborhood, which in itself is not exactly central draw for tourists, and it's worth the search. You can always scale up if you decide that you want to pay more for what will be essentially the same food. I especially liked the fresh mozzarella on my salad, the long pour of red wine, and the final limoncello on the house. If you need waitstaff who exude professionalism and kindness, this is the best restaurant in Rome. read more
