    Store front was very welcoming!
    Theresa R.

    In passing by this restaurant on a walk in the neighborhood, it looked inviting and welcoming, with its lights and holiday cheer. It didn't disappoint when we decided to stop by for dinner. We were seated right away by a very pleasant gentleman with a warm and genuine smile. The menu had a good selection of non-pasta options, Like swordfish and beef, that looked very appealing. We ordered a salad, pasta pomodoro, meatballs in red sauce and beef with rosemary. The salad was colorful and fresh with various lettuces, corn, olives and fresh tomatoes. The pasta was perfectly cooked, not so "al dente" that it was chewy, and went down easily. The beef was a nice medium cooked steak that was buttery. It was not as trimmed as a cut I might get back home, but the flavor was there! The meatballs were nicely arranged in a pool of sauce with bread arranged around the bowl. My son had no problem enjoying them. Overall, a good meal and possibly worth a trip back to test out some of their other dishes

    My first lunch in Rome didn't disappoint! Restaurant with outside dining along a busy road.. staff was so friendly and engaging. Immediately greeted and served drinks. Birra media... my new favorite saying medium beer. Ice colder .... Mmmmmm I went with a Margherita pizza, it's super thin and so fresh, lol s of flavor in this baby. Loved the outside area. Very small bathroom on site.

    Found this place while walking down the street. Food was awesome, nuff said! But I do recommend the dishes with homemade egg noodles.

    Delicious Campari Spritz!

    We ate here twice on our visit to Rome. First visit was just my husband and I popping in without a reservation. She quickly sat us at a table by the window and brought our drinks without pause. We had mozzarella and prosciutto for appetizer. The size was perfect for two and everything was so fresh! We then split the pasta carbonara which was fabulous. The chef split it to two bowls (nice touch) and flavored perfectly with just the right amount of sauce. Don't miss the tiramisu for dessert. It is untraditionally served in a mug, which gave me pause. However, it too was fresh and every bite had all the flavors together. Perfect! The cost was not too bad either, it was 75€ for appetizer, meal, 4 drinks, dessert and grappa. The second visit was with 8 of us - service was still great and food was again fabulous!

    Great, English speaking service. Not far from the Colosseum. Vegan options -- the spaghetti and penne are egg-free and the penne arrabbiata is fully vegan! I didn't ask about their vegetable soups, but they might also be vegan. They had salad options too of course. And bruschetta with olive oil as a starter!! The bruschetta was good if slightly less than flavorful. I added salt, but garlic or onion would've taken it over the top! The bread was fresh and delicious though. Definitely worth the €2 for a nice starter. I got the penne arrabbiata which was good! The portion was large for under 10 euro but I wish it had been spicier. My friend got the steak for €14, he said it was pretty good but be warned that it comes with no sides. Just a steak on a plate. The other 2 in our group got ravioli with spinach and loved it--though it's worth noting that the portion was noticeably smaller than my penne. The non-vegans in our party finished with panna cotta and loved it. We all enjoyed our meal!

    Spaghetti Carbonara.

    Although the restaurant only had two other parties, we decided to give this place a try. Considering how heavy pasta and pizza is, the three of us shared the Capricciosa Pizza (€9.50) and Spaghetti Carbonara (€9.50) with a bottle of Mineral Water (€2.00). This was the perfect amount for us with no leftovers. The pizza was pretty plain topped with two slices of prosciutto, a few mushroom and olive bites, and one piece of artichoke. Honestly, it was pretty much a cheese pizza. Despite that, the flavor was still good and the crust was thin and crispy. I actually enjoyed the crust most while dipping it into the balsamic vinegar. As for the carbonara, it was more creamy than one I had the night before, so that was a plus. Although still nothing special, but good. Overall, it's just another Italian restaurant along the street of Rome. It's not bad, but not that great either.

    Out hotel recommended we come over to this area, as it has great food and attracts the locals. My fella was hoping for more traditional pasta and rejected the specific restaurant recos because he didn't like their more modern menus. So, we rounded the block and found this place. Very disappointed. The pastas weren't great. The veal was so tough I had one bite and rejected it. The patio was right on a busy street next to the metro- not a relaxing spot to eat. My recommendation, walk yourself down the metro steps and hit the next street over for food. All restaurants on that strip looked amazing! We missed out trying to get our last good traditional pasta on our last night in Italy.

    Linguini Pesto Chicken (comes with shrimp, but I asked to substitute.)  It was amazing!!!

    This was the best pasta I have ever eaten. During our stay my stay, we ate there 3 times. I usually never eat at the same place during vacation, but every time we ate there we were never disappointed. I had the Pizza, Pesto Pasta with chicken and Chicken with Lemon. Everything I ate was amazing. The custom service was excellent and they offer to bring ice and lemons with your water. Being from the USA, we love our ice, so for me that was something I missed in Europe. So far this was the best Italian food I have ever eaten. Highly recommended. They have outside seating and good A/C, which is important in Rome.

The bread basket was delicious served warm with amazing crust. The pasta was a tad undercooked but was the best tasting sauce ever. The melon sauce entirely new and never seen of heard of before. They took "summer melon" which I was told was cantaloupe. It was cut into 1/8 inch teeny tiny cubes and simmered for a long time until very soft and the sweetness a little washed out. It was sooo good. The braised beef was cooked to perfection, the sauce was delectable and the sides were great. The mozzarella and tomato was amazing too. Perfectly seasoned and the tomatoes were conscientiously sliced. 1000% suggest this restaurant

    Our first meal in Rome was here, and I'm so glad it was here. We arrived on Christmas Eve and…read morewanted a good meal. Our hotel manager had suggested another restaurant, but I was apprehensive to try, but did later, more on that restaurant review in it's own post. I rather did what I should have done throughout the trip to, which is to search google for local reviews. This tactic I found to be much better than to trust American reviews for restaurants to visit from Youtube or even here, just because the American touristy taste tends to favor bland or Olive Garden style pseudo Italian. The real Italian taste is much different and something one needs to develop. I was familiar with European Italian food, as I had said before in other reviews that Mexico has better Italian food outside of Italy. Additionally, the good restaurants here in Italy do not open before 7 PM. If it does or if someone that looks foreign to Italy is outside trying to lure you in, it's a tourist restaurant with iffy flavor. At this restaurant my husband had the Lobster pasta and I had the spinach/ricotta ravioli, and we both were beyond satisfied. We also had the artichoke as an appetizer, and trusted the waiter with his suggestion for a bottle of wine. He must have been some genius because the wine went well with our meal. The ambience was cozy and very family oriented, however, the rain outside made it romantic for us. Another key point for this restaurant and it traditional flare was that they brought out the olive oil and red vinegar for our salad and of course olive oil for our wonderful home-made bread. I'm so glad we chose this place for those of us Americans who understand culinary cuisine.

    The service here is so amazing and quick! The atmosphere of this restaurant is very clean,…read morewelcoming, and comfortable. Food is literally so delicious and every single meal I had was unreal. Totally recommend this restaurant!

    An area we wanted to visit on this trip to Rome was Trastevere. It was evening when we arrived and…read morethere was so much activity, so many restaurants, so many places to stop for a drink. We picked Tonnarello Calisto because of good ratings and because we could sit inside and out of the heat at one of the few indoor tables. Our server Livio took excellent care of us, explaining dishes and just chatting that made us feel welcomed. I ordered their Tonnarello Amatriciana, a tomato based pasta dish with bacon, cheese, and pepper. It was delicious and just the right amount of food for me. The design of Tonnarello noodles worked well with this type of dish. A sample of my wife's tiramisu was a nice ending. We agreed this was a good choice for dinner.

    We chose this restaurant because of its outstanding trip advisor rating (4.8 stars with over 4,000…read morereviews), so we were expecting an amazing meal. Unfortunately, it ended up being one of the most disappointing meals of our trip to Rome. I want to start by saying the staff was wonderful--everyone was incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive. We have absolutely no complaints about the service. The food, however, was very underwhelming. The Margherita pizza was undercooked, with dough that was still soft and not fully baked. The chicken dish tasted more like a simple stew and lacked flavor, and the lasagna was just average. Another red flag was that all of our food arrived within about five minutes of ordering, which made it seem like everything had been pre-made rather than freshly prepared. We rarely leave negative reviews, especially when the staff is so friendly, but we chose this restaurant specifically because of its exceptional reviews. I think it's only fair to share our honest experience so other travelers have realistic expectations. While the service was excellent, the food simply didn't live up to the reputation.

    Super pizza place with a lot of other great stuff on the menu…read more I looked with envy at the other tables who were enjoying spectacular plates of spaghetti with mussels. * * * That said, my pizza was a grand slam home run. Many of their pizzas are quite elaborate With all sorts of exotic ingredients. I went super simple. Gorgonzola. Mozzarella. That's it. Just enough Mozzarella to cut the Gorgonzola and make for a good melt. * * * If you have never had a gorgonzola pizza, you have never lived. Just sayin'. * * * P.S. My lovely wife got a Norwegian salmon pizza. The Norwegian salmon was stacked up high on her pizza As if she was in the World Series of Poker and she was a big winner. I have never seen so much salmon on one plate. After our meal, I made a discreet phone call to the Norwegian embassy in Rome asking them if they still had any salmon left. The woman at the embassy assured me the Norwegian salmon supply was fine. That surprises me given all the salmon that was on my wife's pizza.

Being new to Rome, and having walked 20k steps on our first day, there are an abundance of options a for dining. We wanted something classically Rome nearby to our hotel. The Yelp review of this restaurant was sufficiently positive to entice us. Being American, we appreciate the earlier-than-customary dining options. We arrived at 6pm without a reservation. We were seated immediately. The restaurant is intimate and very well staffed. The wood fire oven is front-and-center and the fresh mozzarella is prominent in display. We ordered a bottle of wine ... all options are very fairly priced. This is nice. We started with a Greek salad to share. It was unlike any American Greek salad ... and a really delight. It is early June but the tomatoes and peppers were ripe and crisp and really fresh. My wife ordered the Marguerite pizza; I opted for the Gorgonzola pizza (the effusive review on Yelp was compelling). Both were solid. We appreciate the thin crust and the crisp edged. The center of both, however, was doughy and somewhat undercooked. Looking around ... the restaurant was over 50% full even at this early hour. Most were Americans. We saw a good number of diners with pasta dishes ... and none were left unfinished. Sadly, we don't have any comparisons to weigh (yet). So, I cannot affirm any "best of" citations, it this is certainly a solid trattoria/pizzeria. The staff are attentive and the food served hot and fresh.
