    Cherry tart

    This restaurant is a gem. Best food yet in Italy. And everything was gluten free! Eating here was like eating art - especially the artichoke... absolutely amazing. The noodles were great, it rivaled some of the best Ramen noodles I've ever tasted. Service here was good. The servers were attentive and nice. It feels like an underground secret atmosphere, not too loud, so you can speak easy here. The Salmon was great, and they included squid ink as a side sauce, which was a nice surprise and made the dish memorable, and artistic. The tiramisu here made me realize that every other tiramisu was trying to taste like this one. It was perfection

    Gluten free pizza

    This was my favorite meal I had in Rome!! It was the best gluten free pizza i had ever had, the sauce was sweet and flavorful and it had the perfect amount of cheese. You could not tell the difference between the regular crust and the gluten-free, they were both light and fluffy with a crisp undercarriage and they clearly mark gf items with a flag.

    Last dinner of our trip was at La Soffitta Renovatio. They have several gluten free pasta (1,00€) and pizza (2,00€) options. Busy on a Friday evening (8:00pm). All the tables inside were reserved but no wait for one outside. No coperto charged. - Calice rosso (6,00€) - Carciofo giudia (8,00€) - fried artichoke was tasty. The outer fried layer tasted like fries - Carbonara (13,00€) senza glutine (1,00€) - guanciale was good. Carbonara not too heavy - Fettuccine porcini (18,00€) - homemade fettuccine. Very firm, al dente bite. Reminded me more of noodles than pasta

    Wonderful gluten free restaurant in Rome near the Vatican. The staff is friendly and smooth. The food is delicious and the gluten free options are plentiful. I love the gluten free pizza here, it's one of the best places in Rome and definitely worth a try if you are gluten free. The ambiance is quiet and comfortable, it would be a good spot for a date or for a small group of friends. The wine is delicious as well!

    Fume vegan pizza

    We stopped here for lunch during the week around 2pm and were able to dine outside. They have a separate, all-vegan menu that you have to ask for. My wife & I split a couple pizzas, a Capricciosa (artichokes, mushrooms, and vegan salami of some sort) and a Fume vegan (smoked cheese and spek, a type of smoked ham, vegan of course), €13 each. We also got a side salad (€7), pretty lame really, as it was just some leaves, 4 slices of tomato and shredded carrots -- you dress it yourself, as per standard in Italy (and many places in Europe). Both pizzas were quite large and very filling, with the flavours and textures balanced well. Good bases and crusts, on the thicker side. Very friendly and astute service. Didn't feel like too much of a tourist trap despite the proximity to the Vatican. Recommended.

    The food is delicious, freshly made pasta. We came here because of the gluten-free options. Family friendly restaurant. The waiter gave my son coloring pages and color pencils he was entertained. They were really sweet to him & even provided him whipped cream with strawberries just because while we waited for our dinner to arrive. Our food was very good we came back again the next night.

    I need to move to Italy!!!! The gluten free scene is beyond amazing! Seated right away, treated like long lost friends, so many gf choices from antipasti to dessert! Service was great, portions were HUGE and prices very reasonable.

    The service was amazing,l. We arrived as a group of 10 for lunch with no reservation and they took care of us immediately. Our waiter was friendly, fun, and unflappable dealing with all our allergies. The food was fresh and delicious. Even the gluten free pasta was fresh made in house. What a treat!! Then, they had a section, a whole selection, of gluten free desserts. I had the strawberry cheesecake. They were also extra careful double checking ingredients for cross contamination for my niece who is severely allergic to nuts. Everyone said the "normal@ food was delicious too!! Def eat here. Only a 10 minute walk from the Vatican!

    GF Cacio E Pepe
    Aaron S.

    I visited La Soffitta Renovatio for lunch on my recent trip to Rome, before heading to the Vatican nearby. I heard very good things about their gluten-free pizza and pasta so I was excited to try this place out but sadly my expectations were not met. By the quality of my food, I felt like I had been transported from Italy to Stoke On-Trent. Upon arriving at the restaurant, the point where to queue for a table was unclear, Firstly I went inside before being told to go back outside to be "checked in", after explaining to the waiter that I wanted to sit inside, I was then directed to wait somewhere else before being escorted back downstairs to my table a few minutes later - I felt like a Yoyo and would have preferred to just be in one place. It just left me feeling awkward. During my time in Rome, I wanted to try out a Cacio e Pepe, a traditional pasta dish from the Lazio region which includes Rome, my guest opted for a Margherita, we both ordered our food gluten-free, so I could try a bit of both. The pasta was dreadful, it was just so bland and dry, the pasta itself just didn't taste good and even the pepper and the sauce just couldn't save it and make it edible. The pizza was equally as bad, there was a lack of cheese and I originally thought they'd made the wrong order. The toppings again had no flavour, and the base was dry and gritty, I needed water just to stomach it and the dried rice from the flour was just leftover in my hands. Service seemed quick enough but neither attentive nor overly friendly. The chairs inside the restaurant were also incredibly uncomfortable, this is a trend I noticed during my time in Rome, I had to stand up multiple times during my meal just to get out of the discomfort. I'm not sure if they were having an off day or if there's a more glaring problem, as I also noticed the diner next to me being displeased with her pizza, where she was just taking the meat off and left pretty much everything - I noticed the gluten-free flags in this diner's food too - the only thing I liked about this place was the flags for gluten-free, but given how bad the pizza and pasta was, you'd know they were gluten-free on first bite anyway. I really wouldn't recommend this place to anyone, as unfortunately my excitement was met with regret and fury. 1*

    Very hot day out when our group found this place with outdoor seating as well as basement seating with air conditioning. The English was partially in English and the staff seemingly all knew enough English that we had no issue. They take credit card. Everyones's meal was good, except the pizza was 'wet' (oil, maybe some grease as there was a lot of cheese) the ox tail was good, but as expected, very small portions. Great spot for a family lunch or a dinner date. Everything was good and I recommend this place, but there are so many places in the area to try, I likely won't come back.

    Everything about this place was amazing! The food was excellent and the dessert was fabulous. The atmosphere was warm and inviting and we will definitely come back when we are in Rome. Thank you for taking such great care of us!

    Tiramisu!

    My Sicilian friend recommended this place. I enjoyed it very much. If you want Italian foods and hospitality it is place to come! They do really Italian foods. Chef will come to greet you and adjust the food based on your preferences! When you order, they provide a perfect guidance with the highest hospitality! They prepared lasagna with beef meat! I do recommend this place with yummy foods! Enjoy!

    We stopped here around 11:30 after our tour of the Vatican, very hungry for lunch. The outside area had plants hanging around and was just a super cute vibe, which was part of what we were looking for (along with pizza). We got the primavera pizza and it was good, and definitely plenty for us to share, however we want to get a different kind next time. This was our first Italian pizza so nothing to compare it to, but we feel we could've maybe ordered better. However, service was great and we didn't get stuck sitting for long which was nice!

    A pretty good lunch…read more We were being tourists when it was time for lunch. Our first choice had a table for us but no chairs. We waited a bit but when no four legged solution arrived, we went searching again and found Arancio d'Oro. They were happy to see us and our smiling server did a nice job, at least until it was time for the bill. That went too slow, the opinion of an American tourist who still can't accept the end game for a meal is more likely than not to drag on. My wife declined my wish to have yet another pizza in Rome, so I settled on Rigatoni alla carbonara. In truth it was just ok to me, al dente just seems like another word for undercooked. We left full and ready for an afternoon of doing even more stuff.

Each time we had the fried…read moresardines which were absolutely outstanding. think appetizers beer and wine and such satisfying freshness that the pallet says "my I could stay here for an hour or two. " Then order the fresh focaccia for three euros which was amazing. The pizza was outstanding, but the prepared foods are awesome. Best meatballs with Parmesan mashed potatoes I've ever had in my life, and my wife agreed. We could eat a gallon of those potatoes. I also had the fried cod which was very good, and my wife had A sampling of a few different dishes. As for desserts hold on. You gotta hear this. The first time we got the chocolate Panna Cotta and the texture, coolness and sweetness on the tongue was remarkable, never having tasted anything quite so unique. A must try. One of the next nights we got the creme caramel which was absolutely outstanding. The lightest texture with powerful Caramell flavor. After speaking with the owner it turns out there are two, one cooks the other handles front of the house. They own three restaurants and the wife with her little poodle hangs out in the front. The decorations are awesome, The bathrooms clean and tiled beautifully. Both beer and wine selections are excellent. This is off the beaten path but only a block and a half from Augustus' mausoleum. The prices are excellent, the service outstanding, the quality of food fantastic and you do not need a reservation. Did you hear me? A five-star restaurant, with pizza, great desserts, great setting, And you don't need a reservation. Helloooo!

Server speak food English and describe each dish we order and explain. When the food arrives, we were surprise with the good quality. Pizza is very crispy. 10€ -4.5 stars- Dough is very different, not like bread, more like crackers. Lots of cheese and meat. Two of us could have order that pizza and feel full. We have salmon carpaccio 10€ -4.2 Stars- and it was a big plate. It is smoke salmon with lemons. Salad with anchovies, tuna and roast pepper were tasty too. 12€ -4.2 stars- A bit too much olive oil. Sparking water 2.5€. No cover charge, like other restaurants in Rome. Overall the drinks at this restaurant is on high side but food quality and food portion is great value. Extra discount from The Fork attract us to this restaurant and it was a good find! They have fresh juice too but we ate tiramisu before dinner so we could eat more sweets.
