We had a very nice meal here on our first night in Rome. The Cacio e Pepe was very creamy and the Amatriciana was so full of flavor! The mango spritz was very sweet, kind of just like juice, so definitely not traditional but still tasty. We sat at tables outside on a cute and quiet street. Service was pretty standard for Europe. Overall a good meal. read more

This place is fantastic! If we are ever in Rome again we will come here again. The hours of operation are very odd. They are open in the morning and from 4 to 6 in the afternoon but everything is fresh and made from scratch. Great atmosphere and ambiance! read more

It took forever for my cold lasagna to arrive. I came for the pasta but they said it wasn't available until 1230. I would not recommend this establishment to Americans who have different standards.. read more

La Fiorentina - Cold lasagne. Not delicious nor was it memorable.. - Italian Near Me - Rome, RM

Excellent food and service! Absolutely recommend as an accessible and great spot for tourists and locals alike.

Got lost looking for an address in Rome and finally gave searching. Our search ended right smack in front of this classic restaurant. It was busy and we were tired and hungry, so we decided to stop here and it turned out to be a great, inadvertent choice. We decided on a pasta dish and a specialty pizza to share. We ate outside and asked the server to move to another table after a group of six young ladies sitting at an adjacent table decided it would be fun to simultaneously start smoking some very harsh cigarettes. The pasta was amazing; the pizza was different than other pizza we had while in Rome...very light, flaky crust with lots of toppings; in our case we had lots of arugula and Serrano ham among the usual ingredients. When I hailed a cab after dinner the driver said we were not in an area frequented by tourists, that we had picked one of his favorite restaurants. read more

This place is the best Their pizza is fantastic and their pasta carbonara is the best we've had in Italy and we've had a lot. Also on New Years Eve when every other place was closed they made us a great assortment of meats, cheeses, and breads. Also their assortment of desserts look and taste amazing. You can't miss this spot when you are in Rome. read more

Wonderful Cappuccino! We had 2 pastries, 3 special coffees and it was only 9,20 Euros! Such a nice cafe. I also bought blackberry jam - homemade - to take home as a gift for 5 Euros. read more

Our AirBnb host suggested La Fiorentina since their locals and had great suggestions so far we went after our day at the Vatican. It's an awesome place with a wide variety of food with fresh ingredients and pizza was best we had on our trip. We had a really nice conversation with a local couple in Italian (we don't speak italian! ). But they were so friendly it made our day. Many reviews here say the service is terrible but i think Americans are judging based on walking into a Chili's or something. We definitely waited for a second beer and asked for the check 2 times but you're sitting on an outdoor patio enjoying the people walk by and you're in ROME! Take it easy and enjoy this special stop for the best food, unique-drinks and amazing deserts. read more

perfect breakfast spot! we came here first for dinner one night during our trip to rome with was fine but their breakfast pastries were the best we had! service is quick and pretty easy to navigate with only a bit of italian (please and thank you) and prices and very reasonable. if you like almond, i highly suggest the almond croissant, it has a sweet and salty filling, almost like american almond butter, that i will totally miss once we leave read more

Good morning Rome! Waking up on our first morning in Italy we were craving pastries. The Yelp app delivered us to La Fiorentina, located just a short walk from our stay. Once we got close you could smell the difference in the air, it smelt amazing and it lead us straight to the cafe. I was impressed with how large this cafe/restaurant was. I was half expecting a small corner cafe that fit only a few guests, boy was I wrong. I probably would have given this place five stars but ordering was super confusing, at least for an American. There was a long line when we arrived so we went towards the back. We waited at the counter and got ignored. Finally we figured out that you pay at the front first and then go to the counter with your ticket. We ordered plain croissants, and chocolate croissants. The chocolate ones were filled with Nutella and super sugary. I ordered two but after the first one my teeth were hurting. I believe they brush the outside with honey which was a unique touch. Since we are so close I assume we will be back, espically since the croissants were only $1 and some change. read more

Came in for my first Italian cuisine experience in Italy and I was not disappointed. I loved the food and the atmosphere. I had the Carbonara with the house wine and it was delicious. The staff was friendly and very helpful. Went back in the morning to get some pastry and cappuccino. Great place to eat if you are in the area. read more

The first time I went, I had the seafood risotto, prosecco, and pistachio gelato. The food was AMAZING. I realize I am from the USA, but this was definitely the best risotto I ever had. My dad ordered the lasagna, which is made with a béchamel sauce, and he said it was the best lasagna he's ever had. I would've given four stars alone for this first time visit! We were so impressed we decided to return a second night, and that was a mistake, hence docking a star. I ordered the prosecco, arancini, and cacio e pepe (made with pici pasta). I felt these items fell short of places where I've eaten in the USA. The arancini was a bit dry, and the pasta's sauce was pretty thick. I realize this is part of the dish, but I didn't know ahead of time pici pasta was used. Oh well. The restaurant was very busy each time. The first night the waitress took about 20 minutes before coming to our table. She apologized and we understood, but don't arrive starving LOL! The second night was a bit calmer, but a man passed out twice. I didn't see it (dad had a better view), but there was a bit of chaos. My dad said the man seemed embarrassed after the first time, but the family didn't really seem to care. My dad was shocked the family didn't do anything to prevent the second fainting. Oh well. If I am in the area, I'd return again for the risotto, lasagna, gelato, and the pastries (regretfully didn't try). Skip the pasta. You are probably better off at Bella Napoli not too far away (and closer to the Ottaviano train station) for pasta! read more

The pasta amatriciana was wonderful. We went back twice on our 6 day visit to Roma. The pizza is quite good too. Yes, the service is not the best but it is what it is. The food is worth the hassle. I think we Americans are a bit spoiled but that's just my observation after traveling enough to see how things are done in other countries? read more

We found this after we became lost in Rome looking for a pizza place we saw on the Food Channel. We are so glad we did! We ordered the Valtellina pizza and it was the best pizza we had in Italy. The crust was amazingly thin and crusty covered with mozzarella and scamorza cheeses. The protein was this thick salty bresaola ham topped with tasty slices of parmesan and arugula leaves thrown in for a splash of green. The place is near the Prati neighborhood not far from the Vatican on a major street, so it won't be hard to find. It's not a tourist place so be patient trying to communicate in English, our waiter spoke very little. But, he was attentive and somehow we got everything we wanted. After you're done, stroll across the street to the market and pick up everything from pastries to canned goods or a sports coat. read more

Came in with the wifey and her parents. Just did a myriad of desserts and coffee. Everything was good but not wow. I would say their Baba-au-rum was the best dessert we had. The cannoli was not as good as Mike's in Boston. The chocolate cake (home made) was a little too sweet for our taste. I dont remember the names of a couple of the other desserts. All were good but not great. Anything here would be considered great in the states. Including the cannoli The coffee (i had the dopio) was okay No where near the place i reviewed yesterday. read more

Yelped a place to eat after our day at the Vatican Museums. This place was only a 5 minute walk away so we decided to try it out. We sat ourselves in the patio area because there was no one outside to greet us when we walked to the entrance. After about 10 minutes, someone finally came to check on the three other tables that were seated outside and noticed us sitting there. We got our menus and in another 10 minutes, our waiter returned to take our order. He spoke English pretty well so that was convenient. We ordered 1 starter and 2 main dishes. The starter took about 5 minutes to arrive, which was great. Forgot the name but it was a bunch of deep fried zucchini strips, fish, and other veggies. It went well with the beer. The main dishes took another 15 minutes to come out. My boyfriend had a pizza (€8), and I had a risotto (€13, and one of the specials of the day). I took one bite of my food and immediately knew I wasn't going to finish the rest. The risotto was dry, chewy, and I couldn't taste anything except smoke. Rather than wait another 15+ minutes for a new meal, I shared my boyfriend's pizza instead (which was average). 15 minutes after we finished eating, our waiter returned and took our plates. No offer to see a dessert menu, even though it was a bakery known for its pastries. My boyfriend had to ask for one. I ordered the puff pastry with mixed berries (€8,5) and that is worth 2 stars of this review. It was amazing and plated beautifully. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place unless you're just ordering dessert or some drinks at the bar. Food - 6/10 Service - 6/10 Value of meal - 6/10 read more

We had the chance to eat on this restaurant on our last trip to Rome. We try to skip the tourist zone restaurants and walk the city. Once we get hungry, we found this gem. Price was about 40 Euros for my wife and I. With some great red wine included. I can't wait for our next visit to go back to this place. Their food have a special place on my heart. read more

This was our go to place when we were in Roma. We had many different items from their menu. The pizza was nice and crusty, pastries and coffee excellent. The gnocchi was made with ricotta cheese which had a different texture and flavor. It was only ordered once during our trip. Overall, a great place to get coffee in the AM with friendly servers. read more

My husband and I visited this restaurant 4 times while we were in Rome. Twice for dinner, once for breakfast and once for dessert. We were happy every time. The pasta, desserts and gelato are wonderful but what was truly delicious was the breakfast brioche with whipped cream. Amazing! https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g187791-d1175640-r536455057-La_Fiorentina-Rome_Lazio.html# read more

We ordered the mixed grill (eating rubber) a couple of the house specials and drinks. the service was very poor. The food was overcooked and the worst part of all is that they charge a service fee ----a standard tip approx 13%- we were only 5 adults and it was never mentioned until bill was reviewed. Service was nowhere near to justify any tip at all (missing items were the least of problems). Tips are not even required in Europe. My feeling this is a scam for tourist!!!!! stay away from this restaurant. To many local places to put this tourist trap out of business. I appreciate awarding good service but this place is a joke. read more

Great for breakfast, lunch and dinner... This place has been around for quite some time. The Café and the restaurant are next door to each other and both offer a big variety of delicious treats and meals. The Café offers a great deal of sweet and savory pastries (both big and small), cakes and desserts. Also the restaurant has a quite vast menu. They offer from pizza, to traditional Roman dishes, Seafood, meat and of course, great desserts. The service is not to bad either. In all these years I never had a bad experience. I like it so much that basically every time I go to Rome, I have to come here at least once. The area itself is not to bad either. It is not to far from the Vatican, there are nice shops not too far from there and it has several Metro and bus stations close by. read more

This restaurant / bakery is fabulous. We spent three days in Rome last month and visited this place everyday. Very friendly, neighborhood atmosphere. Everything we tried tasted great. Stop in for their happy hour in the evening - buy a drink and enjoy free finger foods with the neighborhood. Three blocks from the Vatican. read more

Nice place for Italian cuisine. Friendly wait staff, great food and drinks. Can't ask for more from a non fancy restaurant.

This is a corner restaurant that you can see from across the street from either corner of Via Giordona Bruno. It is very inviting. They welcome you inn at the door. You select your set after placing your order... And the meal is brought out to you in the traditional way. I had the Ham and Mozzarella Cheese omelet with a side of Bacon. I also had a Cream filled Croissant. With a glass of pear juice read more

The service here was terrible! While the lasagna and tiramisu were both good, we still wouldn't return based on how we were ignored our entire meal. We've enjoyed all our other meals in Italy so this one was our first disappointment. So much so that it warranted my first negative Yelp review! Skip this place unless you are looking for a lengthy dining experience with very little attention. read more

Warning they will try to trick you with the bill. We were in 2 just having pizza for dinner and they added €6.50 service charge! Don't ever pay a service charge they are not allowed. In fact told them I'm not paying that and the girl give me a new bill right away. I don't like to be taken advantage of! Also they us an extra large antipasto which we didn't order it paid for. read more

So after seeing the Vatican, my husband and I decided to that we needed something to eat. This was also going to be our last night in Rome, so we wanted to have something nice. We had been told about this restaurant and their great pizza. So, we after some getting lost around the Vatican, we found this place. It's really nice both outside and inside. The wait staff are very professional and we were seated right away. The prices are a little more expensive, but I think it as worth it. My husband and I started off with a salad that had lobster and shrimp to share. Then I had the Diavola pizza with buffalo mozzarella cheese - so good. Best pizza I had in Rome. My husband had the lasagna and said it was the best he had in Italy. We had drinks as well. Really liked this place. Would definitely recommend to anyone coming to Rome. read more

We have been to Fiorentina numerous times, never spending less than 200€, and often stop in for takeaway sweets and wine. After the way we were treated today by Nunzio and the bus boy, we will never return. We were purposely ignored for more than 20 mins, and talked down to about our usual seating preference in an empty section of the restaurant. I was actually shocked by how brazenly rude the bus boy was, and how committed to ignoring us Nunzio was as well. It's a shame, I enjoyed the previous visits but will NEVER return. read more

Great food with great service nice ambiance good quality food. Desserts very appealing much better than what I have seen around Rome.

Maybe we didn't order their specialties, but we found our dishes to be mediocre. Service was okay.
