I can't help but think many of the other yelpers and I stayed at the same AirBnb, as our host also recommended this place. We were so happy she did. We went for lunch and planned to do the traditional Roman lunch, eating our way through course after course...but we couldn't because it was so much food! We started with a mixed appetizer which included a variety of their specialities (cod cake, fried zucchini leaves, cheese ball) and a caprese salad. So, I don't like tomatoes, I despise them...my parents used them as punishments when I was bad...but I ate these tomatoes AND I got seconds. They were so fresh and crisp! We each got pasta next (carbonara and cacio de pepe) all perfectly cooked and flavored. We did have sorbet and ice cream for dessert with cookies and wine to accompany. We all left full and ready for a nap. We'd go back, but we are out of time!! read more

My wife and I spent 2+ weeks here in Italy and this was our choice for dinner on the last night here before flying back home to Texas. This was by far the best meal I've had here in Rome. The staff and owner are the best. They are frenetic but always care for you and are 1000% on the same page and make a great team. We had 4 courses the cacio e pepe and seafood pasta we're amazing and the insalate mozzarella di Buffalo were the best. We had tiramisu, the steak and limoncello and a dinner like this would have easily cost $150+ 20% tip but here it was like 61€. That's a steal!!!! Our only complaint is we didn't find this place sooner since it was around the corner of where we are staying. A must do. read more

On our last night in Rome we decided to eat our last meal here. It was recommended by our airbnb host. We had ten in our party and they were able to accommodate us without reservations. The owner recommended several appetizers to try so we went with his recommendations. It included white pizza, fried calamari, caprese salad, artichokes, and a platter of fried appetizers that included zucchini flowers and arancini. Everything was delicious. For our entrees we order the Tagliolini with seafood, carbonara, stuffed squid, and grilled squid. All were fresh tasting and delicious. Our table was close to the kitchen so we could see them making the different dishes. We also had the house wine which was very good. For dessert we had the tiramisu. It was the best I have tasted. It was a great meal to have on our last day. If you are in the area definitely give this place a try as the service and food was top notch. read more

Very friendly service by Paolo. He is very good with all guests. He speaks English very well and help us to order our foods. He gave us great recommendation also. From start to finish, he was very attentive to us. We started with a small platter of variety of appetizer. Then pasta n then desserts. Everything was tasting great. We r glad that we got to taste this place before going back home. One thing that makes me happy is they have clean bathroom/ toilet ;) read more

Had a fantastic meal here. Service was great as was the ambiance and the dining experience. Would recommend to fellow Yelpers.

Excellent food with tremendous service. We thoroughly enjoyed the suggested appetizers, especially the fried artichoke, the suggested meals, the lamb chop, the Carbonara, and the tenderloin were great. The desserts were delightful. Must have the peach sorbet! read more

If you have come to Rome to see the Pope, come here too. This food and the amazing people who run this place will show you the way to heaven. I wish we had discovered this place sooner, because we would have gone more than the two times we did go. There wasn't a dish that didn't dazzle our tongues. Will definitely come back when we're in Rome again. read more

This place was recommended to me by a friend and my airbnb host so I had to try it. They were very crowded on a Saturday evening, as to be expected. Our waiter suggested a starter of the roasted artichoke which tasted great and the fried stuffed zucchini flowers which were scrumptious. We got an order of the ravioli which was well made, but the highlight of the meal was the carbonara. It was delicious and perfectly al-dente and eggy and just the right amount of cheese. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly and patient as we discussed options. They also pushed us, very politely and jokingly, to get some dessert which we gave into. While I'm not a big fan of tiramisu, we went for it and I was pleasantly surprised that it tasted so good. The waiter also gave us a taste of some Amaro Lucano, an herbal liqueur, that has a bit of a liquorice taste as a digestif. Overall this place was fantastic and worth the wait. read more

What a beautiful way to say good bye to Rome! Had dinner here before going back to New York. Food and service are amazing! So welcoming and friendly. Highly recommended! Tiramisu was the bomb! read more

Excellent. Great food and funny staff. We ate outside and had a fabulous lunch. Looks like most of the diners are locals, but the staff and menus are multi-lingual. Very glad this was recommended by a friend. Pistachio gelato is exceptional and was loved by one of our group that hates pistachio ice cream. read more

Authentic ( I think lol), affordable, lots of vegetarian options and incredibly friendly staff. Easy 5 stars! You gotta come here!

Excellent food, great price. Little outside seating. Wonderful staff. House wine a little sour, but fine. I'd come here again next time I honeymoon in Italy. EDIT: The manager apologized for the service and gave us free dessert and limoncello. We wondered what service are you apologizing for, I already gave you a five star review. And he gave us more limoncello. Italians, man. read more

For our last meal in Rome, this was the perfect place! The best pasta dish I ate was here and it was simple but so flavorful, tonnarelli with pecorino and pepper. My daughter ordered rigatoni with cheese and bacon and this was the only meal she ate every bite of. Service was very friendly and it felt like the perfect neighborhood spot. You won't regret stopping here! read more

Il Ragno d'Oro - Tonnarelli a Cacio e Pepe - Italian Near Me - Rome, RM

When visiting Rome with my family, we were wanting a place with some good pasta. Stumbled upon this place on Yelp and the reviews were great. This place was awesome! Food was great and authentic, reasonably priced, and service was even better. Nothing less than perfect for what we were looking for. read more

Came here on a whim for dinner with the family while on vacation and I'm glad we did, this is one of the best experiences we've ever had for dinner! The food was not only AMAZING but the service was excellent. Our waiter Fabio was entertaining and had us laughing most of the night and we left the restaurant feeling like we had just experienced something magical, I can't recommend this place enough! read more

Bellisimo, or something. The spirit of the restaurant and waiters is great. And the food is an explosion of taste. This great feeling we have after even they missed one of our orders says it all. We leave with a smile. We tasted also a lot of "presents" little bites from things we did not order. It was a great meal and evening. read more

Fantastic Resturant in Rome Wonderful family experience from this hidden gem Fabio was the ideal host with spot on suggestions non of which could be faulted All dishes were superb with the fish and calamari the highlights We actually did not look at the menu as there was no need We will return before departing Rome read more

Why can't Americans even come close to replicating the friendly, inclusive and generous environment of the delightful Italian Osteria? When one sits down for a meal at Il Ragno d'Oro, one feels as though he or she is dining in a friend's home. Although we were tourists in Rome, our wonderful waiter Daniele and the extended family that owns and works in this family style restaurant made us feel like regulars, not far from the truth as we returned three times during our eleven day stay. Pastas are made by hand in an open kitchen, sauces are imbued with the divine flavors of Italy handed down over centuries, meats are slow cooked and often steeped in delicious stews until they fall apart without the need for a knife. Steak is grilled just enough to give it a lovely fire imbued flavor while maintaining its rare center. We started every meal with the traditional grilled carciofi (artichoke), one for each of our family of five. I have to admit we loved the tagliolini with truffles so much we ordered it every time to the exclusion of the pizzas for example, but I'm certain they too were exceptional. Creatures of habit we couldn't finish a meal without ordering the tiramisu. A tiramisu that distinguished itself from all others, with a potent center of real Italian espresso embedded in a light cake and finished with a custard cream so delicate we marveled at every greedy spoonful. I loved this place and so did my family. Should we find ourselves in Rome again soon we will be back! read more

Excellent food, excellent service, excellent night! We came without reservations around 9, they seated our party of 5 and the owner took my seven year old into the kitchen to make bread out of his handprint! It was very busy so they kept giving us food too! The food was fantastic! read more

This restaurant is my home for the semester. Marco and his son Fabio are absolutely amazing. They took care of me and my friends like none other. Made Rome feel like my home. Will be back once a week. Ciao!! read more

Just got back to the hotel after having dined at this local spot. Every dish excelled within its class. The steak/arugula/tomato dish can easily compete with top steakhouses in the States. The service was causal and intimate, felt like we were being served by family. No doubt this will be a place we return to next stop in Rome. Also, try the tiramisu. Wow. read more

Our first stop in Roma, we were delighted to find such a highly rated restaurant right around the corner from our AirBnB. We ordered the caprese salad and it was recommended to pair it with focaccia. Even though the table is given complimentary bread, the focaccia adds a nice crunch and the warmth adds the "mmm" to mozzarella and tomatoes. Think of it like a yummy, deconstructed flatbread. This caprese is lightly dusted with olive oil and barely any balsamic compared to others I've had. Very good starter choice. Next, we ordered the risotto of the day, which was lobster risotto. MUY DELICIOSO!! Perfect shareable sized portion for two people to try and get their fill and only 10 euro. Then we tried the steak. It was a good sized piece and cooked nicely, a true medium rare. All of the desserts are starred on the menu as recommended by the restaurant,however, I would skip the Uncle Frank's blueberry and ricotta pie as it is served warm and subsequently dry. Comes out looking like a plain quiche. The (thin) layer of blueberries is on the bottom.... in my opinion, it would be better with syrup or fresh blueberries on top. Cute place, friendly and playful atmosphere like being with family. Definitely go seek this place out! read more

The food was fine but it bugs me out when they bring something small as if it were for free and then charge you for it (bread in our case). Not so much because it's a lot of money, it wasn't, but because they take liberties with my money that I never granted them. I wouldn't go back. read more

We ate here the last night in Rome and I am sure glad that we did. If you are looking for authentic Italian food, delightful waitstaff and people who put their heart and soul into their business... you need to go here. I felt like I was a guest in someones home. No menus. No B.S. Just family style authentic Roman cuisine and delightful atmosphere. P.S. the Gnocchi was sooooooooo good. read more

Found this place on Yelp and read some reviews that said it was a must eat destination. My son and I decided to give it a try. Not only is this a must eat destination because of the amazing food but the staff is top notch. They made you feel like family. I cannot say enough good things about this place. Please check it out when in Rome read more

Great Italian food! Fantastic service! Awesome hosts! First authentic Italian restaurant we've visited in Rome and was blown away!!!!

Food A+, service A+ even when super busy. Can't recommend these folks enough. Had spaghetti Alla carbonarra and the leg of lamb, plus house red wine and some limoncello for after. Very pleasant experience all around read more

By far the Best Meal we've had in Rome, Service, Chef, Pasta made by his Mother. I had the Stuffed Octopus,Fried Artichoke, Sampler appetizer, linda had Pasta with Bacon and Red sauce, desert was spectacular read more

During our last night of vacationing in Rome we came across Ragno d'Oro. What a hidden gem this is. The restaurant was so lively and the staff and food was excellent. Fabio the waiter was amazing and fun. He took great care of us as well as the rest of the staff. He started us off with fried artichokes and caprese salad. Then we had spaghetti with proscuitto (bacon as he called it). The sauce was fantastic. We also had an assortment of desserts (cookies, fresh made sherbert and panacotta), cappuccinos and of course limoncellos. This is a must go to for dinner. You won't find the everyday pizzas like all the other places. The atmosphere is great! read more

Great service but disgusting food. They were really nice but the food was so gross. I got the cacio de peppe and it was disgusting. brown soupy mess at the bottom of the bowl. best to go elsewhere read more

Place was recommended by our bed and breakfast- not worthy of a recommendation in my opinion. Food was ok, service was good- ordered what we thought was a lamb shank, turned out to be a fatty piece of the back of the lamb... Was Vertebrae and meatless. Shrimp were head on- beef was overdone and tough. Pasta salty. Much better places in this area. read more
