Italini (gin, bitters, and Prosecco)
Cary N.

The food here is great. Well made, hot and delicious. The orecchiette with broccoli and sausage was amazing. The roasted veal was soft and tender; very delicious. And the roasted potatoes were cooked well. The Italini cocktails were delicious. My favorite was the one made with gin, bitters, and Prosecco. Sitting outside was nice. It was clean covered and a great way to experience some Italian vibe. The service at the beginning was great, but once that waiter left or took a break the others were not up to par. Decent but lacking. Not a bad service, just not as well as the original waiter.

wild boar ragu (papparadelle al ragù di cinghiale)
Gray R.

Fair pricing, nice ambiance, mediocre pasta. Service was friendly and quick. I came alone, sat outside, and only had the wild boar ragu (papparadelle al ragù di cinghiale) which I previously had tried, loved, and could not find again in Canada. So I was quite excited to come across this dish again in Rome. The pasta was perfectly al dente and portion sizes leaned towards large for roman standards, but the sauce was bland and the flavours of the meat didn't really come through well. It felt more like a home meal than restaurant fare, and the one I had in Canada was miles better. I also ordered a cappucino (€3) which was creamy and fantastic. When paying the bill, I saw that they had a fresh-looking appetizer buffet offered inside the restaurant. Had I seen that, I would have opted to try that instead as there was a large variety of unique items available. I didn't get the opportunity to come back to try the appetizer buffet but would definitely do so next time.

Pasta

The service was excellent. The food was the best around. The Cacio e Pepe pasta was amazing. 10/10 recommend if visiting Rome.

Love the interior of this place. Very beautiful and welcoming. Lots of food selection to choose from. Great for large groups. My tour guide took our group to this spot to celebrate our last night together. I ordered 2 pastas because I wanted to try them both! I got the fettuccine alla papalina and tagliolini cacio de pepe. Both were so delicious. Fresh pasta made in-house. Living my dream to be able to eat pasta in Rome, Italy!! Last but not least, dessert! I finished it off with some coppa di gelato. The flavors were banana, pistachio, and strawberry. All were so smooth and creamy. Yum. I recommend this spot when in Rome!

Octopus
Bryant H.

Came here on recommendation from a friend. The restaurant is pretty large, with the usual indoor + outdoor seating. We opted for indoor. One thing that stood out is how massive the menu is, so many options! We got the grilled octopus as the appetizer. The octopus was cooked perfectly, with a good char on the outside. However, the yellow sauce was really salty. I had to scrape it off of the octopus. I also got a manhattan for the drink, which they gave in a massive cup. I got the cacio e pepe as the main dish. The noodles were very al dente, more so than I'm used to. Other than that, the pasta was very good and tasty. I don't think they used cream, but I'm also not sure. I'd definitely come back, but I think I'd try something else like the lasagna (which the table beside us got, and which looked amazing). Overall, great value and flavor!

Lasagna

Enjoyed a post touring day dinner with the hubs here. Favorites were lasagna, roasted chicken and potatoes. Highly recommend the tourista tasting menu at the back.

Wow!! Wow and wow again! La Famiglia is an amazing friendly restaurant with delicious food. A friend of mine recommended that we come here for dinner tonight and it was nothing short of amazing! To start the selection of items were right on with a mix of salads, soups, lasagna, pasta, wine, and desserts! The portions--wow, for the amount you are paying I was definitely expecting less in size, but I got the opposite! The portions were of great size that matched the price right on--wow! I ordered their broccoli and lasagna special. Both were super yummy and ended up being combined with some peppers and olive oil! Another wow! I had a couple of bites before my stomach told me "no more". This will definitely be my breakfast or early lunch! Also, the service--wow--George was our server and he was nothing short of sweet, helpful, and kind! And this is a major reason I plan to come back tomorrow at 16! Yes, tomorrow, because the food was just that awesome!! They not only have a menu, but a buffet as well. I am not a huge buffet fan, but their buffet looked beautiful, fresh, and diverse--everything from chicken wings to eggplant to pasta--looked super yummy!! I cannot wait to come back, see George, sip on some amazing white wine, and eat!

Lasagna
Andrea W.

In my opinion this was the best lasagna I've ever eaten. It's been almost a year since I was here and just now posting the review and that's simply because for the life of me I couldn't remember the name of this place. We ate here our first night in Rome. The service was stellar and so was the ambiance. I would definitely recommend this place over and over again. Job well done!

Jenn K.

Best dinner we've had in Rome and we've had all good meals. This food and service was amazing. If you are in the area do yourself a favor and eat here!

We loved this spot!! We were in Rome for a few days and this spot was recommended to us by another traveler. We were so pleasantly surprised we went back again and again. Ate there everyday. We had the lasagna, spaghetti , spaghetti carbonara, pizza, wine, every dessert on the menu (tiramisu was my favorite) and it was all SO delicious. And the prices were the best anywhere. Cannot wait to go back to Italy just to eat here

Loved the Cacio e pepe! So delicious and authentic there was great service. The ambiance was cozy.read more

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.

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.

It was a positive Yelp review that lured us to choose this restaurant for our first night meal…read moreafter traveling from USA. So, I felt that I owed a review of my own in appreciation. 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.
