I was worried that anyplace right on the Via Veneto would be primarily for tourists. I was a little worried when we walked in. The restaurant was mostly empty, which is never a good sign and the decor seemed trapped in the 90's. It was comfortable and quiet, though. However, the food was excellent. My seafood pasta special was one of the best dishes I had during our trip, cooked perfectly with the flavor of the sauce permeating the pasta itself. For me, one of the most memorable meals of our trip.

We went around 9 p.m. on a Friday and had no problem getting a table, plenty of outdoor seating with that lively Rome café vibe. Started with Aperol Spritzes (phenomenal) and shared a plate of meats and buffalo mozzarella that was the perfect appetizer. I got the Cacio e Pepe for my main -- big portion but somehow still light, which made it a great pre-night-out meal. The atmosphere was great for both groups and couples, saw a few people on dates and it definitely fit the vibe. Service was friendly, prices were fair, and everything came out quick. No complaints at all, great food, great drinks, and an easy 10/10 for a casual night in Trastevere. Would you like me to make a shorter, more conversational version (like you just posted it on Yelp right after dinner)?

Maybe it was because the owner/chef was out in the square asking people to try the place. At any rate, we gave it a try and it was quite good. There were a few people sitting outside so we followed suit. It didn't take long for a waiter to come over and take our drink orders. We were hungry so we didn't waste any time ordering drinks and food. I craved salmon and quickly found it on the menu. I ordered a salmon with pasta dish. My friends ordered mussels, pasta Bolognese and a pasta dish with shrimp. Everything looked fresh and smelled really tasty. My friend that ordered the Bolognese didn't get hers until several minutes after the rest of us were served. We were told that her dish took more time to prepare. She sat patiently and when her food arrived, she said that it was worth the wait. We all enjoyed every morsel of food. I wanted more. That's the American gluttonous behavior but the food was absolutely delicious. My pasta was rich, creamy and flavorful. When I was done, I was full. Everything was filling. I was in love!

Five stars for the amazing service!…read more My boyfriend and I had only one day to spend in Rome and we wanted to eat in as many restaurants as possible, but were too tired after sightseeing to seek out some of the more popular ones. We figured that any Italian food in Italy would be worth the price anyway, so we decided to dine here because of its proximity to our AirBnB. Hosteria Baullari is located in Campo de Fiori so there is a lot to see before and after you choose to dine with them. The setting is very intimate and like most European cities, you'll do best to dine on the patio so you can do some people watching while you enjoy your meal. My boyfriend opted for pizza while I went for the seafood risotto with mushrooms added into it. Bear with me if I'm a terrible American who didn't realize that there is a difference between the two because the waiter looked at me funny when he asked if I could have mushrooms added in the meal... Regardless of the fact, he was still able to accommodate my request and he did NOT charge me extra for it either. Since wine is so incredibly cheap, we purchased a bottle of their cheapest rosé and thoroughly enjoyed it. We loved our dining experience so much that our server even gave us free shots because he liked our energy! We decided to close the evening with tiramisu which, sadly, I also did not know was more of a mousse since I was expecting a cake... nonetheless still very delicious and oh so cheap! Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend coming here if you're willing to try out a small restaurant with big taste. On the plus side, you may even get some street entertainers to spice up the night like we did! (89/100 - 2018)

The stunning historic building painted by important artists. But it was empty that says a lot about food I guess. Go here for Sunday small brunch which is only 13 euro just to checkout ambiance, but with all museums in Rome why come here to see a painted ceiling. To be honest, I didn't touch my food after two bites so they were nice enough not to charge me for half of it.

I was kind of leary about coming here, because going against Yelp usually doesn't end well and I didn't find the menu to be that impressive from looking online. Well, chalk up another one for Yelp over the Michelin guide. We decided to go with the ala carte menu over the tasting menu. I had the Zuppasciutta (fish soup) while my wife had the Artichoke Carousel. I was expecting to actually have a whole soup, but what I got instead was 1 small piece of white fish cut up into 7 smaller pieces, 1 shrimp, a couple of clams, and a couple of mussels served on a decorated plate with a few spoonfuls of broth over it...and that cost €40. When the server brought over the small pot full of broth and started spooning it out, I thought "Oh, this is a very inefficient but nice way to serve me my soup", and I was incredulous when he stopped after a few spoonfuls of broth. Hoping that dessert would save the evening, I got the smoked chocolate with whisky ice cream while my wife got the "carbonara". The chocolate was a very well-constructed dessert that looked like a cigar in an ash tray, but the flavor just wasn't there. The dessert carbonara was actually pretty good. One thing to point out for anyone coming here, they ask for tip on the bill at the end. We didn't quite know what to do with that, because you don't tip in Europe, and they're the first place we dined at that asked for a tip. So, we weren't sure if their waiters were somehow getting paid differently where they worked for tips or if they were just asking for something extra. Either way, we didn't and we weren't sure if we were jerks for not tipping or if we just declined to pay unnecessary extra money. It was a downer ending to an already disappointing meal.
