In two trips to Rome we have eaten here numerous times. We love the small family friendly atmosphere as well as the large menu. We have had everything from pasta to pizza all were delicious. The lovely lady who takes care of the dining room is very attentive and makes sure you are happy with your experience!
My husband and I had dinner here two nights in a row. First night we had a Margherita pizza and it was very good. Second night we ordered a gnocchi and fettuccine Al ragú with the house wine (1/2litro). Again the food was delicious. We were seated promptly and the service was excellent. They make their pastas in house. Ambience is Italian rustic.
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.
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!
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.
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!
The food was great. Italian families were sitting next to us along with tourists. We ordered a salad and eggplant parmigiana to start both were delicious. They brought bread to the table which was helpful in sopping up the leftover sauces. We were so satisfied at the end we couldn't even order dessert. You can watch them make the fresh pasta in the window, you can take some home too.
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.
Delicious restaurant! All fresh and homemade pasta and desserts. Indoor and outdoor seating. Nice wine and drink selection. Friendly service. Nice interior. Great dinner and recommend. Down the street a few blocks from W Rome (Marriott hotel)
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.
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.
If you are looking for a solid authentic pizza, come here! We had pizza, beer, salad and the best dessert. Lemon tiramisu was on point! Also, the sangria was amazing! The place is small but they have a whole restaurant downstairs. Service was fast and friendly. 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

Had the lasagne and the margarita pizza. Also the mozzarella with tomatoes (tomatoes tasted like they were perfectly ripe!). Kinda small but in a quaint fashion. Very attentive staff. Would definitely recommend. read more

Came here for a quick meal before we hit the road to go to Florence. Nice chain we went for a pizza and a pasta to keep us full until the evening. Pizza was good and the gnocchi was alright. I would go for the pizza only next time. Service was great! 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

Nice small restaurant. Good homemade pasta. We had the mixed salad, fettuccine Alfredo with chicken, then tiramisu. Very yummy. Friendly servers who spoke English with us, and cozy atmosphere. Not super romantic. More casual and comfy. 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
