    Updated Interior of the restaurant

    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!

    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!

    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 !

    Delicious Biscaiola.

    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.

    Best. Bruschetta. Ever.

    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.

    fried stuffed zucchini flowers

    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.

    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!

    What a great time with the twins! Armando and Rudy and Tom and Terry! Felt like family! Good food, service and atmosphere!

    This was one of the upscale fine dining restaurants that we went to in Rome. As soon as I walked…read moreinto the restaurant, it had elegant decors with dim lighting and a quiet atmosphere with soft music playing in the background. We ordered sea bass fillet rolled in zucchini and honey mushrooms. Fish was tender, soft, and delicious with great seasoning. We also ordered Ravioli with white truffles and it was delicious as well. Ravioli tasted like it was freshly made and it tasted great with truffles. Lastly, we got tiramisu for dessert. This tiramisu was prepared by an artist. Just by looking at the dish, it was very pretty to look at. It was presented on a beautiful plate with thin chocolate cookie on top with sugar decoration and underneath was a creamy white tiramisu. I loved this dish because it was unique dessert with great sweet flavor and great presentation. The service was excellent. Everyone was friendly with great attitude and they are attentive. I think they liked the look on my face every time they brought out the dishes because their presentation was great. Whoever was the Chef that night, I would give him or her an award. This restaurant was unique just like Rome. Highly recommended!

    My husband and I arrived in Rome on a Thursday afternoon from Wisconsin, and our first dinner…read moreexperience was at Ristorante Ad Hoc. We opted for the Roman-style cuisine tasting menu with wine pairings. The service was warm and welcoming, and the ambiance was quiet and romantic. I appreciated the decor, especially the various wine bottles displayed throughout, and I also liked the dishes the food was served on. That said, this restaurant leaned a little too "foodie" for my taste. I also discovered that I really dislike truffles! My husband, on the other hand, enjoyed everything--including my leftovers. The wines were fantastic across the board. I also want to mention the pricing was shockingly affordable for what we got at dinner, which again, included the wine pairing. If you consider yourself a foodie and enjoy creative, thoughtfully prepared dishes, Ristorante Ad Hoc is worth a visit.

    This place was so incredible, we went TWICE during our 3 day stay in Rome!…read more We had tried the other "super famous" Italian sandwich spot earlier in our trip and it did NOT deliver. Pane e Salame, however, was delicious!!!! On our first day in Rome, my husband and I decided to search for a lunch spot nearby (we were staying near the Trevi fountain), and I found this place had pretty good reviews. We got there about an hour after it opened and requested a seat outdoors. They have a tiny patio across from their entrance, but they fit quite a bit of people in it! We initially wanted to order two sandwiches to try more items, but I'm glad we just shared one - they were big and filling! We also had the small charcuterie board to share which was plenty of food for us both. We shared a bottle of rose, and all in all, we paid under $50 (usd) - what a steal! This was the perfect first meal in Rome. The food was incredibly fresh, the service was great, and the outdoor seating allowed us to experience the streets of Rome. 10/10 - would absolutely go back.

    I love this place! My family and I got multiple sandwiches and shared them all. We got a big…read moreplatter of food that was big enough to feed 10 people! Our sandwiches were cut in half and one half was big enough to make the average person full. We got five sandwiches for only about €30! The place was not a tourist trap, but i have to say, the seats at the booth were uncomfortable to me, and the place was a bit small. Sorry i do not have photos. But overall, I would recommend to go here. Amo questo posto! Io e la mia famiglia abbiamo preso diversi panini e li abbiamo condivisi tutti. Abbiamo preso un grande piatto di cibo che era abbastanza grande da sfamare 10 persone! I nostri panini erano tagliati a metà e una metà era sufficiente per saziare una persona media. Abbiamo preso cinque panini per solo circa 30€! Il posto non era una trappola per turisti, ma devo dire che i sedili nel booth (il tavolo con divanetti) erano scomodi per me, e il locale era un po' piccolo. Scusate se non ho foto. Ma nel complesso, lo consiglierei di andarci.
