We had a truly lovely dinner here. The fact that we were surrounded by locals immediately spoke to the restaurant's authenticity. The pastas are all made in-house, and the Tonnarelli alla Carbonara con Pepe Rosa was easily some of the best I've had--the pieces of tonarelli pork cheek were perfectly crunchy and tucked into beautifully cheesy pasta. Our 10 and 12-year-olds loved the pizza, which was excellent, and we all highly recommend the fresh strawberries with whipped cream for dessert. To top off a wonderful night, our waitress stopped us on the way out and gave us two bags of handmade pasta to take home. It was such a touching gesture! We can't wait to cook it and remember our meal here. read more

This small family owned restaurant was where we had our last meal in Rome (not counting breakfast at the hotel) before heading home. The atmosphere is just what you'd expect from a small Italian restaurant. There is seating outside and inside including a lower dining area. We had pasta of course and it is made on the premises. The servers were friendly and could speak English. A wonderful ending to our Roman Holiday. read more

The food and service were amazing. Best pizza and I had while in Rome! You can watch the staff make the pizza and pasta from scratch which was also a plus. The staff were very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant is located near the city center so it's easy to walk to from the Trevi Fountain and other attractions. read more

Hotel recommended, place isn't good. Service not good, pizza not good, the calamari starter was not good - rubbery, maybe reheated, definitely wasn't fresh hot. Table next to us, literally on our laps, at least they got bread. They almost got our food too as the runner dropped off our food at their table initially. Tons of kids, maybe more of a place to bring bambino's. But even the price isn't good for kids. The espresso was good. read more

La Bruschetta - Not good - lacking that fresh from the kitchen crunch and temp. - Italian Near Me - Roma, 62

Great spot near a lot of hotels. Looks small from the outside but they had a basement, main floor, upstairs, and outdoor seating. The staff was very friendly and helpful. You could watch them making the pasta in the window, which was fun while waiting for a takeout order to take back to my hotel. The prices were very reasonable for the amount of food you get. The pizza is very thin which is the traditional Rome way. Both pizzas were delicious but cooked different. One was a little undercooked but still very good. The drinks were ice cold which was very appreciated. I would definitely come back and try more things on their menu! read more

We got an outside table easily on a weekday for lunch at La Bruschetta. I went inside the restaurant to use the restroom, and saw that there was a lot of seating indoors as well. There is a window you can look into from the sidewalk outside where you can watch one of the employees making fresh pasta! The service was very friendly while ordering and receiving our meals. I ordered a ravioli dish, mushroom and cheese in a butter and sage sauce. It was very good, but unfortunately I ate about 20 minutes after the rest of my family because the wrong dish was brought to me at first. They made my dish as quickly as possible but it was a little disappointing. The kids wanted to have the Nutella pizza for dessert, which is basically a thin crust covered with Nutella, but if you're a Nutella fan you'll love it! There are many places to eat in Rome and I am glad I tried La Bruschetta! read more

We stop by random places and this is one of the good restaurants. We like the atmosphere. We ordered pizza and calzones. I like the calzone but pizza was not really satisfying. They should put more stuff on it. I don't like to eat dough only. Service people was friendly and nice. read more

Ate there 2x in 2 days. Lunch then dinner. Food is outstanding, service great, owners are on site. Price is great for Rome. Go early or expect to wait! Can i give them a 6? read more

My girlfriend and I came here upon a recommendation by a lady at the hotel. My girlfriend really enjoyed her salmon linguine with cream sauce, but I had the pesto linguine, and it was not as tasty as I make it at home. I generally use a lot of garlic, pine nuts and basil, so my dish here was just okay. We both ordered gelato for dessert, it came in three scoops, she had the hazelnut gelato and I had the limone gelato. She only had two scoops, I ate the third. I ate all of my limone gelato, it was very light, lemony and tasty with a hint of tartness. I recommend this place because of the gelato, but because the salmon cream pasta was good, I gave this place four stars. It's centrally located in a ritzy part of Rome near the Westin Excelsior Hotel. As we were leaving, there were a ton of people waiting in line to come into the restaurant to dine, so it's a very popular place to eat. Do try it out, and make space for a gelato in your tummy, because the flavors are both delightful and delicious! It's a very cute, very small place, so be sure to make your dining reservations in advance! Do try to taxi a taxi or bus, because parking is crowded right in this location. read more

This is cool local establishment with pasta and pizza options. Both are made fresh in house. The service is good and the ambiance is romantic and friendly. We were able to reserve a table outside and enjoy our mile while enjoying the Roman vibe. We had several different pastas including fettuccine Alfredo, calamari pasta, spicy tomato, and shared a pizza. The pizza was delicious. I could eat a few of them! Like many places in Europe, be prepared to pay the same for water as you do for soda or beer. Our group of 6 drank €20 of water alone!!! Great food and many options. If you have a larger group I recommend making a reservation. read more

This was a perfect place to come and enjoy a family owned environment. The indoor atmosphere was great being able to watch them cook your pizza right in front of you. The olive appetizer was first introduced to us in Venice and theirs here was by far the best. Highly recommended a Rome Pizza experience. P.s. Pizza was a perfect wood fire. This was a great place to end a 12 day Italy tour! read more

I was so weary of this place due to its name..... but boy was I wrong! This is a local's place filled with neighborhood folk. Tables are on top of each other and everyone was having a great time. Meals were good. What stood out for us was the pizza and ravioli. And don't skip out on the homemade dessert. Is this fine dining? No, but its a friendly welcoming casual place where the food is delicious. read more

Rounding up to 4 from 3.5 because of great service. Would pull back 1/2 star from 4 for the "bread service charge" they add to your bill. Went here a few weeks ago with a few coworkers. We split appetizers of deep fried olives, artichoke & bruschetta. They were all good and we were happy with them all. I had the cannelloni and it was the best thing I've eaten in Rome in 2 years. One coworker got the fettuccine ragu and I was almost jealous I didn't get it. I'll get it next time. The 3rd coworker got the least amazing dish, ravioli, but she still enjoyed it. Nice pours of wine, reservations not necessary if you go early but I would recommend making anyways to insure you get a table. read more

La Bruschetta - Aperol spritz, carbonara and pizza! - Italian Near Me - Roma, 62

Great Family owned Restaurant. We loved the stuffed Olives and the house white wine. The Pizza was so good we ordered another one to go.

We had fettuccini al Raguet and tonnarelli carbonara. Both were okay. They automatically charge a 12% servicing (tip).

The food was delicious. We went back twice because we enjoyed it so much. And it was only two blocks from our hotel.

Of all the tirimisu we ate daily at other restaurants during our stay in Rome, this was the best tirimisu here at La Bruschetta. The service was outstanding, too. Lastly, the atmosphere was neat, an ideal neighborhood eatery - not too fancy, simple date night. read more

Great little ristorante in via Veneto. Ambience is friendly and relaxed. Food came out fairly quick. Everything was handmade and delicious. Staff spoke English, if you need it, and was courteous and happy. We got a prosciutto and buffalo mozzarella plate. Perfect. Buffalo mozz was flavorful and consistent. Prosciutto was salty and sweet. We also had a prosciutto pizza, it was good. No surprises. And a pesto pasta, it was fresh, light, and perfectly seasoned. Chianti classic was good, house white wine was on the sweeter side. Tiramisu was fantastic. Get it! Total was ~$130USD for all of that. read more

Service is slow, food is mediocre. Very disappointing dinner. Appetizer, pasta and salad all brought out at the same time. By the time I got to the pasta, it was cooled off and chewy. Salad had iceberg lettuce which wasn't fresh. Artichoke thrown on a plate and not appetizing at all. House wine was good. read more

I tried this place because of the recommendations on Yelp, but tourists beware. They try to sneak additional charges on the bill. Apparently in Rome, it is customary to charge either a service fee, and give complimentary bread, or charge for bread but not have a service fee. In this restaurant, they charged for a small bag of bread, (which we did not request), AND they charged a service fee. When we reviewed the bill and asked the server, he immediately acted as if it was an error, and removed one of the fees. I guess they are hoping for you to not review the bill amd just be on your merry way. The food was good but the dishonest business tactic put a sour taste in my mouth. read more

This restaurant was steps away from the Westin hotel, where I was staying. It ended up being one of my favorite meals in Roma. The pasta is all home made and just truly delicious. I considered deleting a star for the slow service, but the pasta was so good that I can't get myself to. I look forward to coming back here next time I am in Roma. read more

La Bruschetta e is a pretty standard Roman dining experience. The menu is all inclusive with everything from ravioli to pizza to deserts. Seems like they do a little of everything but nothing great. That said they hit the spot and that's what counts. Nothing was bad, but nothing was memorable. Props for a cool basement area and clean restrooms, though. I might return if someone else wanted to go but I'd try something different than the carbonara or mahgerita pizza. read more

This was our best dining experience in Rome - delicious food and a hard-working friendly staff. La Bruschetta was right around the corner from our hotel on a quiet side-street near the Borghese Gardens. We arrived about 7 or so and by 8 the patio and inside were full - and the waitress was incredibly busy but smiled through it all! We started with meat-stuffed deep fried olives and a squash flower that was stuffed with cheese and anchovies, battered and deep fried. Both were good - the olives were scrumptious! We shared two pasta dishes - a carbonara that was extra tasty and cacio e peppe - we had the latter somewhere else the previous day where the taste was predominantly cheesy but this one had the distinct and delicious flavor of pepper. Both were prepared perfectly and creamy. For secondi, we shared the best meatballs we've ever had - delicious flavors and light-textured balls of love. We also had a veal limone in a buttery/creamy lemon sauce. I could eat this all day!! And of course desert! The tiramisu was from another world! The second desert - and I don't recall the exact name - was lemon-based, rich and creamy and had a meringue on top. Extraordinary!! Add some bread and a liter of their house-red and we were in heaven. Highly recommend!! read more

Well we didn't even get to try the food!! When we walked in the women pointed to a small table for 2 in the corner and then we were ignored!! A table of 6 walked in and they were warmly greeted and given menus while we still sat there with no menus, no greeting, no nothing!! We waited patiently another 10 minutes and then walked out!! The female server yelled to us "what happened??" I had enough manners to stop and tell her we were tired of being ignored. She just snickered and walked away. This women was rude and we felt so disrespected, I guess if your just a party of 2 they don't need your business!! read more

This was a perfect experience. The menu is extensive. Kids can get pizza, pasta, calzones. We ordered appetizer of squid which was amazing. Cannelloni and lasagna (the best) were delicious. We sat outside, great ambiance. Also ordered desserts- gelato, lemon ladyfinger merengue, and chocolate mouse cookie- all delicious. Waiter was very attentive and friendly. Highly recommend! read more
