There was a bit of a line after 1:30 on a Tuesday but moved fairly quick. Wait was about 15 minutes. Service was good. Got the Carbonara with bacon and pesto pasta. Both were pretty good. Would come back.

Tiramisu

I only ordered dessert here, but wow their tiramisu was dreamy. The custard was so good and the flavor was spot on. I could have easily eaten three of them. We sat outside on the patio which was super cute and service was quick and friendly.

Came here in the afternoon and it was worth it. Got some pasta and pizza and they were delicious. The service is fast and helpful, and the restaurant is clean and quaint. People from all over the world come there and I see why. Everything we got was tasty and the prices are great. They even finish you off with limoncello shots...

We went there for lunch after hearing great recommendations. The place was quite busy, with a line forming as soon as we arrived. Not sure if it was intentional, but the cellular service was very slow, and even though WiFi was available, the internet connection wasn't great as it was only good enough to check the menu. We ordered a few dishes to share: the tuna pizza and seafood pasta were both excellent. However, the ham and melon appetizer was a bit disappointing, the melon lacked flavor (not sure if it was honeydew or cantaloupe). The tiramisu, on the other hand, was delicious, we loved it so much that we ordered a second one! We ended our meal with some meloncello, which was a nice touch. Also, our server Kevin was really friendly and attentive.

Food: 4.5/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 It was raining and I didn't want to travel far for dinner anymore so decided to give this place a try even I was worried if it's gonna be bad because given how close this place is to all the attractions around here. When I got there around 7pm and light rain outside, line is already there. I had to wait about 35 minutes (if you want to sit outside, the wait time is faster). I ordered house white wine to start and for main dishes caprese salad, chef fantasy sea (seafood pasta with white sauce) and gnocchi with ragu and pesto. Portion for seafood pasta was ok but Gnocchi was in good portion with a lot of meat. If I have to pick one, I would still choose seafood pasta. Finished up with tiramisu. It was very delicious. Overall experience was great and highly recommended.

If you are in Rome you need to eat here! My family and i originally had planned to eat at another restaurant but because we were far from it we decided to give this place a try. When we arrived we waited only a few minutes before we got a table. We were lucky because by the time we left there was a really long line outside. We sat inside in a comfortable corner table which I loved because it felt more private. The restaurant is small so most of the tables are close to each other. Another thing to mention is that since the restaurant is really old they only have one bathroom and the line can get long. Besides that everything there was perfect. Now for the best part! The food! Everything was exquisite! My mouth is watering just thinking of it. I ordered their carbonara pasta which was the best I had in Rome. My son ordered a diavola pizza (pepperoni pizza) I had a slice of it and it was delicious. My husband's steak was also great. After lunch our waiter brought over a shot of meloncello which was the perfect way to end our lunch.

Limoncello digestive- on the house
Raven R.

I would recommend getting here right when it opens or you'll have to wait at least half an hour. The staff is very nice and efficient. We ordered a limoncello spritz to drink, carbonara and cacio e pepe for entrees, and panna cotta for dessert. Limoncello Spritz- Cold and refreshing with a lovely lemon flavor. Perfect drink for a hot day! Carbonara- Their house made pasta is so good! The sauce is rich and flavorful and you get plenty of crispy pancetta pieces. Cacio E Pepe- Once more, the pasta is top notch. The sauce is creamy and cheesy with a generous amount of black pepper that gives the dish its distinct flavor. Panna Cotta- Milky and creamy. It's a simple dessert but does the job after a savory meal. Great experience overall!

Interestingly - Yelp hasn't quite found this place the way Google Reviews and Trip Advisor has. This place is very well known and referred - expect a 30+ minute wait. Our group of five all loved their various pasta dishes in fact, we were hunting for the Americanized white Alfredo pasta. The chefs here knocked it out of the park (note you can have it plain, with chicken, or with chicken and mushrooms). Final thing of note - they are actively pursuing reviews - so they can great care of their customers. Our night ended with a digestiv of house made meloncello!

We were pooped and hungry after our workout during our coliseum and Palantine Hills tour and hubby found this place on Google with 50k reviews. The line was constant! Finally short when we left around 3 pm. But worth the wait. Took us about 40mins to get seated inside with AC! Yay! Service was excellent! Our server Kevin was great! The pastas were amazing! Especially with the side of burrata. Loved my pesto with clams and burrata! So subtle and the texture of the pasta was almost udon like. Hubs had the spaghetti and meatballs and then Kevin told him to steal some of my burrata. We decided to try the chicory and it was delicious, kinda like the Chinese red spinach. The pizza was amazing. Thicker crust than the first one we had. Added panna cotta to our collection of desserts. So smooth and creamy. Yum! They had a meloncello here that was delicious and creamy. Apparently you sip this versus taking the limoncello as a shot. Interesting. The lemon sodas are so good too! Definitely check this place out when in Rome! Oh, it's an older place with just one bathroom, so at one point the line was almost as long as the line to get in lol.

On googles this place has 80k+ reviews 4 stars, but I guess it's the expectation wait and a hot day walking around still felt underwhelming unfortunately. It was good but I was expecting great. Pastas wasn't bad but the clam pasta still had sand it's not unacceptable but just expected more. If you live in L.A. and been to Uvovo than you'll be deeply disappointed. Uvovo is actually better.

We went late in the afternoon to have lunch. There was a small line in front of us but it moved quickly. It was such a nice day and luckily we got a table outside. We ordered the Diavola Pizza, Pasta with Burrata and Smoked Salmon, Pistachio Tiramisu, a beer and house wine. The smoked salmon pasta was so good! But the star of the show was the Pistachio Tiramisu and it was presented beautifully in little moka pots! They also give everyone a complimentary shot of meloncello cream afterwards. The servers are very attentive and friendly.

Gnocchi with meat sauce
May T.

We came here to eat dinner and this place was busy and waited for 30-40minutes. Food- we ordered Insalata Caprese- salad, tomato, and mozzarella cheese. It was good with soft cheese and fresh tomatoes as appetizer. We also ordered pasta con Le Vongole e pesto- Pasta with clams and pesto. This dish had salty flavor with seafood sauce that was well seasoned. Another dish we got was Gnocchi con Ragu e pesto- Gnocchi with bolognese sauce and pesto. This dish was so good with gnocchi that was light, soft, and had smooth texture that melted in my mouth. Bolognese sauce was perfectly seasoned and it tasted great with gnocchi. Service was great and all the staff were friendly and explained few dishes for us when we asked them. The portions of the main dishes were a lot for me to eat. So they were generous with their food portions. Tables were small and not enough area to walk around. So must be careful not to hit other peoples tables when walking in or out. I think because they were busy and a lot of people were waiting outside for dinner and they had to make room for everyone who wanted to eat. Otherwise, everything that I ordered tasted good with great portions for their price. Highly recommend this restaurant if you are ever in Rome.

Bistecca (the steak) was fine, they did the best they could with the cut of meat. Veggies, like the steak were "okay"
Maddie P.

Service was EXCELLENT! Ambiance was warm and inviting. Meatballs in tomato sauce and margarita pizza were good. Steak was mediocre, bad cut of meat did the bet they could with it. Carbonara was like bad American Mac and cheese. House wine (red and white) and Chianti were adequate. Uber to the area by Trevi for better meals at better price. Skip the cantaloupe shot at the end...

Carbonara - quite possibly the worst carbonara I've ever had

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.
