    This was one of our favorite dinners in Rome. Our waiter was amazing. Super knowledgable, funny, great service overall. Ambiance was a classy vibe, great for dinner. We ordered a barbera wine, perfect to share for the table. Dry but not too dry. And the food was so yummy. The pasta tasted very fresh, barely needed any sauce to be super delicious. Ravioli was tasty. Everything was amazing and would definitely recommend to all for a delicious dinner.

    I have been in Italy for 4 months and this is the first yelp review I've felt I had to make because this was the best meal and service I've experienced! Alex, our server was so amazing and knowledgeable- he paired a wine for us with our food and gave us a mini lesson about everything we were eating. Each plate was delicious, the broccoli was the best we've ever had. highly highly recommend!!

    Enjoyed every bite ! Italy has a great cuisine but it is very hard to find something delicious in Rome! 100% must visit

    Delicious hole in the wall! When Hostaria Romana had at least an hour wait at 2pm on a Friday we ventured down the street and sat here instead. Yummy ravioli and great service. I would recommend!

    Arrived late, hungry & happened to walk by. The welcoming environment & delicious food smells drew us in. The food was excellent, but the service was outstanding. Our waiter was friendly and provided amazing customer service. We had a great time!

    I really can't recommend Mazze enough!!! We traveled around Italy for 10 days and Mazze was BY FAR the best, most authentic experience we had, and could ever ask for. Yes, the food was amazing, we loved it so much we came back a second night. But the thing that truly drew us in, the driving force behind this review was neither the food, nor the (absolutely gorgeous) atmosphere, but the people. Giovanni, our waiter, gave us the most memorable and most stand out experience of our entire trip. We have been all over Southern Italy, and while every moment has been special in its own way, Giovanni truly embodied what we (as foreigners) always wished for, someone who would meet us where we were at, and take the time to provide us with an experience that enriches and satisfies not just our pallets, but our souls. After the second night walking away from this establishment, I couldn't help but ruminate on a time in the states, when I had an experience such as I had on my last two nights in Italy at Mazze, and the answer is, I never have. There is something truly special about the experience me and my family had, and it is one that you don't get in your home country, it is one completely born out of nothing but kindness. A choice that the server makes to treat you to something magical, an investment into your (the diners) happiness, despite your cultural differences and the fact that you may never get to return. They make a choice, to treat you like family. Giovanni and the entire staff at Mazze showed us the kind of love that Italy is known for, but that is often illusive in a city where rude tourists and rushed encounters make it difficult to forge true connection. Instead, they take their time, they show you love, and respect and hospitality, and all you need to do, is sit back and enjoy, savor the special moments and be grateful. Please do yourself the favor of going to Mazze, ask for Giovanni, tell him that Erin sent you (it may make him smile) and then prepare yourself for one of those meals, where you walk away already thinking about what you need to do to make it happen again, and being so thankful that you read a review and took a chance.

    It is a hidden jewel, not tourist pop place. The food are amazing! Staff are nice and fun and nice vibe. We ordered salmon, ox tails and pasta and everything is delicious! A bit pricy though.

    Chicken was bland. Place was cute and seemed to have locals. But our waiter made some poor suggestions.

When we arrived on a late afternoon, we waited about 10 minutes before getting seated. To start off, we got the Limoncello Spritz (€10) and Aperol Spritz (€10), which were refreshing. For our pasta, we ordered the Fettuccine with Oxtail (€18) and Carbonara (€17). We also wanted to order two more Secondi dishes, but the waiter warned us that the pasta is filling. After we finished the pasta, we did still order the Rabbit (€19) because it wasn't something we usually see on the menu. For the carbonara, the flavor was delicious but not really my favorite pasta shape. It was also quite al dente with a chewy texture. I have to say that the oxtail was spectacular though with its juicy and tender meat sauce. While the rabbit was nice to try once, it was a bit dry with minimal meat. Overall, good spot but nothing worth waiting too long for. Also, I'd stick to the pasta here as it's all handmade. You even see them handrolling them inside. Note that they also charge €2 per person for service fee already.

    10/10 across the board. Osteria da Fortunata is everything people say it is and more. I ordered the…read morecacio e pepe and OMG... hands down the best pasta I've ever had in my life. The pasta was perfectly cooked, coated in the creamiest, silkiest sauce, and the Parmesan cheese was absolutely heavenly. Simple ingredients, flawless execution. I also had the berry cheesecake, and it was just as amazing. Light, creamy, not too sweet, and the berry topping tied everything together perfectly. Pure heaven from start to finish. From the food to the experience, this place is a must when you're in Rome. I'd come back again and again without hesitation.

    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. :)
