Pumpkin ravioli
Kevin N.

This is a great place off the beaten path! Great food, small, and very personable staff!! If you are looking for a great place to eat stop here for lunch or dinner!!

Homemade lasagna
Cathy M.

Wonderful little place away from the masses. Great service and prices. Homemade lasagna was to die for! Highly recommended.

La lasagna, che buona!

Sono andata perché era vicino da me, era buona, mi raccomando. Sono andata da sola, sfortunatamente non ho provato di più

Food is great. Service was exceptional. Ambiance is cozy and quaint. We had dinner several times during our trip to Rome.

Carbonara extra

THIS IS THE BEST PASTA IN ITALY. I am Italian and got the Carbonara extra (truffle carbonara) and was practically emotional over how amazing it was. My father will never know I posted this review, but this pasta beats any and every pasta I have ever had. Must go. The staff is amazing and food takes time, but because they truly are putting their hearts into it. I went with a party of 9 and each person left extremely happy with their main dish and dessert. Must go!!!!!!

Artichoke Bruschetta
Swankie F.

We landed in Rome yesterday and we were lucky enough to be guided towards Marco'a ristorante! The food was OUTSTANDING- the service even better. Marco made us feel right at home- letting us practice Italian and ponder over the menu. Highly recommend the Artichoke bruschetta - carbonara with truffle cream sauce, fennel salad and the meatballs ! Of course we want to explore more restaurants in Roma but I know we will be back before we leave ( if not more than once )

Steak with rose sauce
Rebecca B.

The staff are very friendly and the ambiance was cozy and casual. Wasn't a favorite spot but they did try to please. We just didn't vibe with the food. Had the steak with rose sauce, tried the lamb chops, and steak with red wine sauce. The dessert was good, though I can't remember the name.

Cacio e pepe and fettuccine bolognese

My husband and I are visiting Italy and we went to dinner here tonight based on reviews and honestly we didn't feel like walking any more than we had to since we'd walked all day and it was an amazing place. Really, so awesome. My husband wanted to get an early dinner (like 6pm, which in Italy I've noticed seems to be extremely early) so we thought we might wait a little since they were still going to be closed for a a while but they saw us and opened the door anyway and seated us. Now we don't speak Italian and this restaurant is 100% Italian. The main "server" (honestly he seemed very in charge so he might have even been more of an owner? Not sure) did speak English very well but they didn't make us feel like "ugly Americans" (100% we can be) They offered suggestions and were just wonderful. This food was superb! One of the best meals. I won't go on any longer but it was perfection. The entire experience was crazy good. Food in pictures: bruschetta with smoked buffalo mozzarella, ricotta and fresh mozzarella, fettuccine bolognese, Caico e Pepe, rosemary and olive oil roasted lamb and potato

Really great restaurant. Came with a group of friends for dinner. Service was great and the food was very tasty. Everything everyone ordered they liked. All the food was freshly made and had much flavour to it. Definitely worth a visit while you are in the area.

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.

Great first meal in Rome!…read more I loved my artichoke pasta dish with bacon, it was a daily special. The amaretto dessert was delicious! Carbonara was super al dente. Seafood risotto was fresh. Grilled radicchio was like stir fried. Dinner for 3 for 77 euros, impressively busy for a Tuesday night. Friendly staff, easy for English speakers. :)

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.

Rome trip March 2025 This place was hella busy. There was…read morearound a 40 minute wait for inside dining. However, they had apparently started having dining "outside" which consisted of a few tables-for-two on the sidewalk. My brilliant wife came of with the idea of asking if we could just take two of those tables next to each other so she dined with one daughter and I the other. We probably looked a little funny as we got up to share plates between the table but hey, we were seated in 5 minutes. Car traffic wasn't too bad so that wasn't a distraction though it was amusing seeing delivery bikes coming and going sometimes even returning constantly to the restaurant. Clearly a very popular place. I have to hand it to our waiter, he did a fantastic job serving not just the outside but his inside assignments as well. Guy got his steps in for sure and yet he smiled and was kind through the evening. Not a sign of stress at all. Love that. Food-YUMMY! Since we were on separate tables I didn't my normal "Wait let me take a picture first!" moments lol. We got the Fried Mix to start off with which. I personally ordered a pasta carbonara and the daughter I was sitting with got a margherita pizza. My wife ordered the chicken which was thinly cut breaded chicken slices. I ordered a red (Montepulciano d'Abruzzo) to go along with my meal. Don't have all the foodie pictures because of our split tables but trust me it was all fantastic.
