    Close to the Colosseum with mostly outdoor street seating packed close together. More later

    Carpaccio that was good
    Nanea L.

    I went here for some carpaccio and veal and got overcharged after the kitchen messed up on my veal and the manager sent it back and gave me the worst steak of my life lol The waitress charged me for the steak and I was so over the bullshit I just paid for it Don't come here

    After visiting the nearby Colosseum, I chose Luzzi for dinner choosing to sit outside on the street but they also have inside seating too. This is a popular and busy casual restaurant. I ordered two items from the Primi part of the menu. Cacio e Pepe €9 to be followed by noodles and mushrooms €8.50. Yes it was going to be a pasta heavy meal. The bread basket arrived and the first thing I noticed was that the bread here in Rome was better tasting than in Firenze. The spaghetti, cheese and pepper dish arrive first and it was delicious. Cacio e Pepe is so simple and yet so good. Italian comfort food at its best. Later the mushroom pasta dish arrived. The ribbon noodles and mushroom pieces in their sauce were equally satisfying. The pasta here in Italy is first rate as you would expect and here at Luzzi they do not disappoint. The table service was good too. I would be happy to return here as it was a very good tasting meal.

    First of all - we asked for a cup of ice and we got one. (No one serves ice with your water.) It was so hot, that it immediately improved the situation as we were not able to get a table outside. And the inside is tight and warm. Our tour guide of the Colosseum suggested we stop here. Pizza was yummy and authentic wood fired. Note: they do not serve it cut. You have to cut it and it is a bit of a headache, with the big slices of salami. Knife would just slide the salami around. Challenging but tasty!

    I went here while in Rome because it was close to our hotel. We made a reservation (I highly recommend because it's busy). The house white wine was really good and cheap. Most of the menu was super affordable. We ordered the ravioli, prosciutto pizza, and grilled prawns/calamari. I loved the ravioli. It was fresh and not overly seasoned like it is in the US. The calamari was fresh and had lots of charred flavor. The pizza was decent. Service was friendly and the ambiance was cozy, we ate outside in the tent. If you want cheap/tasty food near the colosseum, come here.

    Great taste food, sat inside a little hectic and loud but I think that's the culture and most places are like that

    Luzzi has great staff and delicious pasta. The pizza has a nice crunch, freshly baked in a wood-fired oven.

    Bruschetta al prosciutto

    Definitely a tourist trap. They are out to rip off tourists with mediocre - bad to food. For lunch, I wandered around the area by the Colosseum to find a place to eat. While walking down one of the streets, a man in a chef outfit was standing outside his restaurant ready to speak to people to encourage them to eat there. This was pretty common for many restaurants in the area hoping to get tourists to eat there. However, this man was extra aggressive, following me down along the remainder of the block saying "PIZZA! PASTA!" in broken English in hopes of enticing me. I was not impressed and ignored him. Getting desperate, after wandering around a bit longer, I see a restaurant with outdoor dining that seems to have locals dining outdoors. Hungry, I take a seat, only to realize later into the meal that this was the same place with the in-your-face chef! My mistake for not being more wary of my surroundings. The menu I received had both Italian and English for each of the dishes. Locals appear to receive a different menu with only Italian; I'm unsure if they also receive better service and food, but I wouldn't understand why they would dine here if they didn't. Overall prices were pretty reasonable if not cheap. However I was very disappointed to see the little disclaimer at the bottom of the page for pizza saying that all pizzas served from 12am to 7pm are precooked or frozen. Essentially, if you order pizza there for lunch or early dinner, you're not going to receive a fresh pizza! Pizza was out of the question and feeling and about the restaurant choice, ended up getting raviolis, lasagna with meat sauce, and bruschetta al prosciutto. Food came in timely manner, and everything appeared to match the item that was ordered. That's where the positives end. All the food was warm, not hot. Presentation was poor overall; although the bruschetta al prosciutto appeared fine, the flavor of the meat and the bread was overall un memorable. Ravioli's presentation was not disgusting but not great. The lasagna looked like it was thrown onto the plate without care. The ravioli and the lasagna were both bland; both were about the quality I would expected from instant/packaged equivalents that I could make at home. Certainly not a great meal out in the US, let alone in ITALY. The locals at this restaurant declined the bread basket when it was offered to them, so it is most likely for a charge. This is not uncommon at Italian restaurants, but when if it is offered to you, feel free to decline it. Of all the meals, I've had in Italy, this is by far the worst. Afterward, I went and had a much better second lunch from a bakery down the street. Do NOT waste a meal eating here. The food is edible, but with all the amazing food in Rome, edible is far from being enough!

    We are here multiple times during our stay in Rome because the food was delicious and the price was great. We had different servers each day and some were better than others. It seems like the side where you can see the colosseum has better service. Plus you can't beat the view. Our favorite was the Gricia.

    Half eaten ravioli 2.9/10 no amount of crushed pepper could save it

    Excellent wood fired pizza. Seating both inside and out. Short line at lunch time. Only waited about 5 minutes. Would go there again.

    Food was reasonably priced but nothing special. Skip the bread basket. Service was friendly. Conveniently located next to the Colosseum.

    Trieste is an easy five stars…read more It's a tiny place with only about 8-10 tables, but you can also order at the counter and take your food to go. We were lucky enough to grab a table for lunch. We had a margherita, pepperoni, and a burrata with prosciutto pizza. All three were outstanding. The crust, the dough, the toppings - everything tasted fresh and came together perfectly. One of the best, yet simplest meals we've had. They also offer salads, though we didn't try any. The two behind the counter were fun and friendly. They take your order, ask where you're from, and then shout out your location when your food is ready - a really fun touch. Bonus: our table had a USB charging station, which was a really nice surprise while out exploring the city. There's also a small bathroom in the back for customers. This one really hit home. Definitely worth a stop.

Plus, the space is very hot inside, but better to sit near the window or do takeaway. I wasn't very hungry, but wanted one last pizza in Italy. When I saw that this spot does mini pizzas, which means I was able to choose a variety of flavors; I was so excited! Unfortunately, they ran out of the mini pizza dough and only had the large. It really is a shame, because I didn't think the bigger version is worth €15 each. Nonetheless, I ordered the Burrata & Anchovies while the husband got Pepperoni. I really did enjoy the flavor and chewiness of the dough. The burrata also gave it such a nice creaminess to balance the pizza that worked perfectly. Sadly, I had to waste a slice because I couldn't finish the larger pizza, so still a bit upset that I couldn't order the mini. With that said, it's a delicious pizza spot.

Seating area was very small. I was seated in walk way area and it was a bit busy with people going in and out of restrooms. Ordered Carbonara, Genovese and Aperitivo. I had Carbonara for the first time and I m not a big fan of it. I have to try it again to make sure if it's me or the way the dish taste. Genovese was ok, beef stew was inside of a bread. Aperitivo, I chose spritz which came with refreshing cocktails and three little fried pizza. Overall the food tasted acceptable but wait time for Cabonara was long. It must have been like 30 minutes. I was done eating everything and had to just wait for that. The restaurant was small and this is a classic popular dish. I don't think they should take this long.
