Margherita! We had our final dinner in Rome at this restaurant just a stone's throw away from the Pantheon. We ordered a risotto ai carciofi (artichoke), Pizza Margherita and insalata mista! The risotto and salad were delicious - but the classic Margherita pizza was the star of the show! Even though it was busy, our food came out very quickly and the prices seem quite reasonable by Roman standards. Note that they do charge a 10% service fee and the waiter might hit you up for a tip on top of this. However, we are glad that we chose this restaurant for our final dinner in Rome! read more

I popped into this little spot after visiting the Pantheon. I was attracted to its cozy vibes and the waiters with suspenders and bow ties. I ordered the Fiori de Zucca and the Mezze maniche alla Gricia. I would say overall the food was good but the pasta was so salty, I couldn't finish it. Although they will accommodate larger parties, this really is a spot for smaller groups. I watched them cram tables of six next to tables of four to where no one could sit or move comfortably. read more

Absolutely loved our dinner at La Sagrestia in Rome! The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and our waiter Marco totally made the night-- funny, super friendly, and had great recommendations. We ordered the trio of pastas to get a little taste of everything, and wow-each one was better than the last. Perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and just the right portion. I also tried the Limoncello Spritz, which was refreshing and hit the spot after a long day of walking around the city. read more

This restaurant has a welcoming, friendly atmosphere that makes you comfortable and right at home. The waiters are very kind and attentive. The food is delicious, particularly the wood fired pizza. 10/10 would recommend for tourists! read more

I really enjoyed my dish here- it was very fresh and full of flavor. The noodles were very fresh and soft- the sauce was amazing and the truffles added that special sprinkle on top! The only reason it got a 3 star instead of 5 is because everyone else in my party was disappointed with their food; it was overpriced and lacked flavor. The seafood was also fishy. Due to the location it is overpriced- it's close to the Pantheon. But like I said, my specific dish was great, but I likely wouldn't come back. read more

We had a DELICIOUS meal at this quaint, authentic establishment. The owner and all of the waiters were exceptionally friendly and attentive. We had linguini and clams, grilled seasonal vegetables, and a dish of cacio Pepe. Everything was scrumptious!!!! Highly recommend. read more

After a long day of walking, we couldn't have landed at a better place to wind down the night with excellent food, great service, and amazing ambiance. The staff is not just welcoming, they are genuinely pleased to have you, are so incredibly friendly, and made the night fun for the whole family. Three very tired and cranky kids left full and happy with big smiles on their faces thanks to our waiter Mimmo's kind smile and wonderful sense of humor. The food was outstanding - we ordered several pizzas which were all incredibly tasty, calamari that was cooked to perfection, and pasta of all stripes that went well beyond our expectations. Of course it doesn't hurt that the location is mere steps away from the pantheon. I highly recommend this restaurant, and be sure to ask for Mimmo! Though you can't go wrong with any of the wait staff who were all such entertaining and wonderful people. read more

"I have a Italian frame of mind and Italy is my home." - Andrea Bocelli When in Rome... ahh the legendary When in Rome! When in Rome you play Gladiator at Colosseo! When in Rome you make three wishes at Trevi Fountain! When in Rome you ride a Vespa Primavera! When in Rome you listen to Bocelli! When in Rome... Al dente or die! Ahh Bocelli! After an afternoon and evening of site seeing artifacts I am famished. I am near the Pantheon so I hop, skip, and avoid tourist traps. It's well past 8:00p.m., but in Rome, the party is just getting started. Romans eat later, relax more, and certainly know how to live three lifetimes! After a few blocks of wanderlusting I arrive on via del Seminario and notice a quaint restaurant with no tourist greeters (a good sign lol). I notice an Italian family just leaving after dinner (a very good sign lol) and what seems to be a mixture of Romans and families inside. This looks promising and all indications it's not a tourist trap! So I whip out my iPhone and Yelp: La Segrestia La Segrestia holds a nearly 5-stars rating on Yelp. I notice a couple of my trusted foodie friends have been here, so I decide La Segrestia is where I'll have my dinner. I walk in and notice how spacious it is on the inside, you'd never expect just by looking from outside. The inside is fun with a eclectic collection of Italian decor and faux antiquity. I scan the room and notice a second dining area where all the action was going on. I am greeted "ciao" by a trilingual young lady, I only know she's trilingual because at first she spoke to me in Italian... Spanish... and finally my English lol. I mean I wanted to say Voglio passare il resto della mia vita con te. But hey it's a family restaurant and marriage proposals are a rarity here:P She informed me on the specials of the night and handed me the menu. The menu was somewhat overwhelming, yet fortunately it was in Italian and English with many in pictures, so it only took me a few minutes to adjust my palate and jeans lol. I decide to start with Bruschetta al Pomodoro and Minestrone Casalingo (vegetable soup). I add the house red wine (mandatory in Italia lol). For my dinner I decide Ravioli di Riccota e Spinaci (spinach ravioli) and Lombata di Vitello ai Ferri (grilled veal). I add more red wine;) I really enjoyed the Ravioli di Riccota e Spinaci the most! Of course I had to end the night with Tiramisù! Tiramisù in Roma, of course! And a cup of Italian Coffee. Delicioso! In the end, I recommend La Segrestia to all. A fantastic spot for Italian lunch or dinner. A warm vibe with friendly staff awaits you. And the best part it's in the heart of Roma... just a few blocks from the Pantheon. I enjoyed my al dente dinner at La Segrestia... Mi vuoi sposare? ;) read more

Yes, yes, yes...delicious food, comfortable seating and feels truly Italian. Shout out to one of their patrons - Mimmo! We see you, Mimmo. Excellent and kind service all around. This spot was recommended to us by a local who lives in Rome. I had an amazing dish that I had never had before - steak cooked/marinated in a cream sauce with Brandy and green chilies. It also includes truffle. Talk about whoa! The dish was amazing. The wine was also great, as was their lemoncellos (kindly on the house). Thank you team, I would definitely return if I'm in Rome again. read more

Wow. What a great evening our family had at this Roman gem hidden within walking distance of the pantheon. It had been a long day, the kids (& grownups) were exhausted. This place was perfect-- excellent food and wine, reasonable wait time, great ambience, stellar waitstaff. The calamari was perfection; pizza and pasta were great, as were the limoncellos after dinner(on the house). Special mention: Make sure to ask for Mimmo. That guy's a rock star. He reminded me of how a few simple things--attentiveness, humor and kindness--can make a great dining experience a lasting memory for the whole family. He even had our grumpy and tired pre-teens laugh out loud ("that guy should be a comedian, Dad") Highly recommended. read more

Excellent service and food! This was probably the friendliest service at a restaurant my whole trip in Italy. The restaurant is near the Pantheon and the feral cat park (although I only saw a couple of cats when I visited after dinner). My favorite dish of the night was the $11 euro spaghetti alla carbonara. It was rich, creamy and cooked perfectly...almost brought a tear to my eye. I also enjoyed the $13 euro rigatoni diavolesca. It was slightly too al dente for my preference, but the sauce was delicious and had a nice kick to it. ....| \ _ , , , - - , , _ , .../ , ` . - ' ` ' . _ \ - ; ; ; , _ ..| , a - ) ) _ . ; .

My continued quest to find non-touristy restaurants, even in touristy areas, led me here. Close to the Pantheon, but without outside seating/barkers, AND loved by the locals...La Sagrestia checked all of my boxes. It was so nice & quiet. We came in for a late, light lunch, & being off hours paid off. After several days of being around swarms of people at some of the biggest attractions in the world, this quietness was in fact music to my ears. Then, service. No, not the fastest service you'll ever encounter, but that is par for the course in Italy. Italians actually promote a slower pace & relaxation. They do not like to rush! But our waiter was pleasant & helpful, & the mellow pace befit the relaxed ambiance. The fried stuffed olives were fantastic. Salty, crispy, addictive. And the risotto was cooked to perfection; not easy to do. Creamy & al dente. One of the best risottos in 2 weeks & 4 cities in Italy. A gem. Even though there were only a couple of other tables, we were the only tourists here. Success! Why not 5 stars? They were out of a dish we originally wanted (stuffed zucchini blossoms, during the height of zucchini season?!), which is almost unforgivable. But French Fries served w the lamb chops? Just no. Should be a smooth & creamy polenta beside it, right? 4 stars read more

CHECK YOUR BILL!!! I went on my own to La Sagrestia for lunch. The service was chaotic and the starter arrived around 25 minutes after I ordered it. I then had to remind the waiter that I had also ordered a glass of wine. He returned with a glass of wine without any apology for the delay. Overall he was very rude. When I received the bill I realised that I had been overcharged for my starter and main course. A cover charge for two people was also applied. When I pointed it out to the manager he just shrugged his shoulders and corrected the bill. The response form the manager suggested that this was not an isolated occurrence and I suspect that I am not the first person to suffer from this attempted scam. The whole experience left me feeling very angry which was a shame because it spoiled an otherwise wonderful day in Rome. read more

La Sagrestia - OVERCHARGED!! - Pizza Near Me - Rome, RM

This was the absolute worst dining experience we have ever experienced. First off, the waiter was very bold. He brought over 6 bottles of wine when we sat down and asked us to pick one. We asked to try their house wine since a tour guide suggested we try it stating many restaurants offer an excellent house wine. Our waiter was not impressed with our choice. Everything quickly went downhill after that. Our arrogant waiter brought over 4 dirty & dusty wine glasses with the price tags still stuck to the bottom. There were 4 of us and we each put our finger in the wine glass and drew a line from the dust. When we pointed this out & the price tag on the bottom of the glasses, he just laughed and poured the wine into the dirty dusty glasses, dripping it all over the table. Needless to say, we did not touch the wine. Our dinner arrived and it was awful. We had been to this restaurant 8 years prior and it was so delicious, we couldn't wait to go back. When our bill came and I disputed the wine charge, a man came over and identified himself as the owner. He rudely asked if we were Americans and told us his grandfather would pay for our wine. I believe it doesn't matter where you come from, and if you are treated so rudely, you should speak up. I do not need his grandfather to pay for our wine. Needless to say, our once treasured memory of this restaurant will be forever tarnished. I'm sure they don't care. The shame is on them. read more

Restaurant environment is exquisite and the food is great. Came back multiple times to enjoy the food here, their pizzas are amazing. Service was very attentive and caring to their customers. Just to mention, we ordered a Hawaiian pizza (I know how dared we) they were nice enough to put pineapple on our pizza, we joked about it since with the restaurant owner when we came back multiple times. I highly recommend trying them out, trust me you will not regret it. Best pizzas I tried in Italy. - Los Mexicanos read more

Came here three, the first time was with a group of 30 people. We had called in the day before to get a reservation and we were accommodated quite nicely! So if you are planning on coming with a fairly big group, don't hesitate to call and reserve a spot. Well, what's to say about this place.. the interior is nice, there are two sides to the restaurant that you can be seated in. Overall, it's not a huge place, but it's able to fit in a lot of people. Yes, you may be squeezed by a few people, but it's the Italian family style feel that makes you feel like you're in someone's home. The food is really delicious too. When you're seated you're served a flatbread or two to share with your table. It's seasoned with a bit of salt, basil, and olive olive. Really simple, but delicious. I ordered the carbonara twice, yes it was that good! And the third time I came I ordered the arrabbiata penne. Oh my gosh. Now that that dish... amazing. I also tried some of the amatriciana. The noodles are like spaghetti, but a bit thicker. I was surprised at how delicious this dish was. The fried artichokes are also very delicious, but they can be quite oily. So, if you don't mind that, then you're set. Overall, I really really enjoyed this restaurant and I can't wait to go back to Rome and eat here again! read more

La Sacrestia was a restaurant that a friend of mine recommended who goes there often for good food and locals do too, so you know it's good. It's located near the Pantheon. We arrived around 8pm on a Wednesday night, and we were lucky to be seated without reservations. We decide to try their Tourist Menu for 22 Euro each person to get a nice sampling of their food, which includes their house wine. Their house wine is very good!. First is Bruscheta al Pomodoro - toasted bread with oil, fresh tomato and arugula. Then, a large serving of spaghetti with bacon tomato sauce and pecorino cheese. This was really good pasta! Then, Piccata al Limone - meat with butter and lemon. We were so full, we couldn't finish the meat! Then, green salad, and caffe. The espresso was a perfect ending to the meal. The staff was pleasant. The service was competent; I wish it was more friendly and personal. We enjoyed a nice relaxing dinner, with no rush to leave. Because of the quality of the food, I highly recommend La Sacrestia and would come back. read more

As a Bolognese (from Bologna, Italy) I am especially passionate about Italian food. I had plenty of mediocre meals in Rome (sadly) as the city caters to the millions and millions of transients. But this place is great. The service, the ambiance and most importantly the pizza! The margherita con mozzarella di Bufala is excellent. And if they can get the basics rights- I have faith in the rest of their offerings. Plus it's a family owed business and I loved seeing three generations working together. read more

The rigatoni diavolo was excellent. The spaghetti amatricianna also very good. Very close walking distance to pantheon! The restaurant is on a quiet street. Good rode to take from trevi fountain to pantheon. read more

Excellent pizza right near the Pantheon. No outdoor seating but worth the visit for the thinnest crust pizza I've ever had. Cheap and good!

The best "typical roman" restaurant we found. Wood fired oven with excellent, excellent pizza. A little pricey. In a fairly touristy area of Rome near the Pantheon but definitely going out of their way not to cater to the straight tourist crowd. No outdoor tables, no black board, nobody calling you in. We had some good antipasto as well including a salad that seems to be popular this time of year - bright green shoots that taste like romaine lettuce with a lemon, anchovy vinaigrette. They have a full menu on top of the pizza, all the tables around us had wonderful looking food. read more

Excellent find just off the Piazza di Rotunda. A colleague recommended this place so we tried this on a weeknight and were thoroughly impressed. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere, very nice inside with frescoes and paintings beneath an old oak beamed ceiling. The staff is very welcoming and and attentive and the menu is fairly large. We started with prosciutto and bufala mozzarella. The prosciutto was well cured with just enough saltiness and the mozzarella was very fresh My companion had a Lombata di Vitello (veal steak) and I had a filet covered in an outstanding marinara with a bit of heat from chili. We spilt a portion of cicoria (chicory) sautéed with pine nuts, garlic and chili flakes and everything was excellent. For dessert, we had panna cotta (freshly made) with berries and a incredible ricotta torte. All in all an excellent experience and will definitely be returning. read more

Came here for lunch and the food was exactly what we were looking for. Fairly priced for the area, we had the bruschetta, variety of pizza, pinot, and pineapple for dessert. While perhaps a bit forgetful, we had no real issues with the service which was polite and helpful the entire experience. Would definitely go back on the area, was not crowded and felt like a bit of a more Italian experience than other places in the area. read more

Suggested by our hotel staff as a non-tourist spot in a touristy area. Run by same family for many many many decades. Ate here both days in Rome.

Service was also very accommodating and friendly. A must go if visiting near the Pantheon!!! read more
