We had wonderful pasta, excellent service at this intimate restaurant. It was a 35 minute from the city center but well worth it. The carbonara and Affogato were amazing. It's a great local eatery away from the crowds. read more

Sparkling small meticulous kitchen produces interesting iterations on traditional food. Daring and innovative treatments of ordinary dishes makes this restaurant worth a try. Family runned and short handed. Make time before coming unless it ia not crowded. Very small hidden space with no signage or menu to display due to a dedication to change. Support this family and its innovative practice because i see this one getting more press read more

My husband and I came here based on a recommendation from a local and they definitely know what they were talking about!! The food, service and vibe of the restaurant was 100% on point from the start. The woman who owns it is the waitress, hostess, chef, and bus woman. After talking to diners next to us, we found out her dad is also in the back cooking up these amazing homemade meals. The menu changes daily and is on the owner's cell phone - really giving the homemade Italian feel. My husband and I ordered a sea bass crudo appetizer based on the owners suggestion and she was definitely right. The crudo was outstanding, with a fish I'd never imagine to make crudo with. Not to mention the homemade balsamic glaze and impeccable fig jam that I am pretty sure comes from the owners own garden. Next we had the bread, which was surprisingly, the best bread/focaccia we had while in Italy. It was crispy, yet fluffy inside and had salt crystals and rosemary that gave it that extra umph that I didn't know I needed. Next we had a shrimp pasta that had massive, juicy, and perfectly cooked shrimp. Not too saucy, which was only slightly upsetting because I couldn't dip the amazing focaccia in it to scoop it all up! But that wasn't a big deal because the grand finale helped with all of that. We ordered a lemon flavored sea bass, also based on the owners suggestion. While the piece of fish itself wasn't huge (which I'm happy about since I could actually enjoy it), the sauce was really the star of the show. I could swim in that sauce forever and still be happy. It had a great flavor with lemon, some sweetness (which we think was more of that fig jam) and a zest to it that was unexplainable. I vowed not to finish the bread but once we got that seabeds entree, I couldn't help myself. Finally, we couldn't round off the meal without a dessert. We got the mousse and while I didn't take a photo of it, I promise you it was the best dessert I had in Italy. *appreciation shout out to the Canadians next to us who ordered a second lasagna while still eating the first because they thought it was so good read more

To start, this place is open for dinner also. And it's wonderful. Located in the Travestere neighborhood, though on a slightly quieter street. It's very small inside but nice seating on the sidewalk. I came here because although they serve some more traditional Roman food, they also had some items I didn't see at the many other restaurants in the area, including the sea bass carpaccio. It was incredible. The fish was very fresh and served with a balsamic vinegar glaze, a sweet jam, and fresh mint--which turned out to be a mouthwatering combination. It was also a fairly large plate of fish. I also had the Sardinian Culurgiones, which was a pasta stuffed with potato, mint, and Sardinian pecorino cheese, covered in fresh marinara. Very tasty. And although plenty of restaurants in the area serve pasta (almost all of them), very few had any sort of stuff pasta. And surely none as good as this. I also had the grilled raddichio, which was great and also not something I saw on any other restaurant menu. The service was lovely. It really feels like a mom and pop type of restaurant where they pour their hearts into their food. It was one of my favorite meals in Rome, and if you are in the Travestere, and keep seeing the same menus over and over again and want something a little different, I highly recommend Mr. Clood.

A complete hole in the wall offering totally local cuisine. They are run by Monica and her father (two people pulling the weight of 20!) and the personal touches cannot be understated. One of the best meals we had in Rome, around €50 a head with house wine. The pastas are not to be missed. We had a lemon and fish spaghetti that was out of this world and the table next to us ordered seconds of the lasagna after they finished their meal! read more

My fiancé and I came here on a friend's recommendation and I am so glad we did. It was a bit of a walk from the city center but well worth it! The best pasta we had on our trip from Lake Como, Florence and Rome. A quiet street with nice outdoor seating which was a refreshing break from all the crazy busy tourist spots. Service was good and they were very friendly. Would highly recommend and will definitely come again when we visit next. read more

Mr. Clood - pasta with shrimp - Italian Near Me - Rome, RM

I'm reluctant to write a review about Mr. Clood, only because I don't want it to be discovered by swarms of tourist crowds. It is a true gem, and hands down the best meal we had while in Rome. We were in Trastevere on a Friday night and needed a dinner plan, pronto. Mr Clood came to is as a recommendation, so we waited until they opened and asked if we could book a reservation for later in the evening. Once our dining time had arrived, in addition to a standard menu, Monica (owner) offered a whole assortment of seasonal options for each course. What makes Mr Clood unique--and what blew us away--was how truly phenomenal their seafood dishes were. To start: I ordered some sort of a whitefish tartare that came with pomegranate seeds. The combination of brine and tang was not something I would have paired...and it was amazing. We each had pasta (with seafood) for our second course, and more seafood for the main. No dessert...because there was no room left in my stomach! In general, trust any recommendation from Monica. We took her every bit of guidance and left full and extremely happy. The food will blow you away, and you'll be welcomes in the small cozy restaurant for as long as you wish! Don't miss a chance to dine at Mr Clood. read more

We just arrived Rome and found this place. As you can tell from the pic of my sons 'digging in', the meal was delicious. The family who runs it is very friendly and at the ready to explain what's on the menu. Highly recommended. Let's keep it a secret :) read more

I do not know how much time you have in Roma but if you miss Mr. Clood you will be very sorry. The food is hand made fresh and served on disposable plates and plastic cups with wine boxes that you sit on but who cares- it is amazing!!! I had the homemade ravioli with cheese and orange sauce. My partner had the ravioli with a bacon that was absolutely out of this world. Our friends had a homemade gnocchi with a meat sauce. Oh my. Prices were on the cheap side for the quality and service could not have been more friendly and helpful. Closes between lunch and dinner so come back if you missed them the first time. Had the beefsteak and marinated salmon for the main course. I am sorry we are not in Roma longer to eat here more. Puts the food we had in Venice to shame. Had a orange cake good and a chocolate lava cake for dessert . read more

Amazing pasta. Best I've ever had in my life. We were eating in a stunned silence. I especially liked gnocchi and my 4-year old became obsessed with that. read more

Found this gem in Trestavere based on Google and Yelp reviews, and it surpassed all my expectations. Small, family run, friendly place with very creative and delicious menu as well as wine list. We asked the chef to select an appetizer, primi and secondi, as well as Wine pairings which we shared. A halibut, fennel and Apple tartar/ceviche to start, followed by shrimp with tagliatelle and red sauce, and then sea bass with a potato leek julienne on top. All exquisite as were the wines. We are returning tonight, which says it all. read more

There is that moment when your eyes get big and your eyebrows go up as the taste that hit your tongue registers in your brain and the smile begins to form on your lips. You begin to say something but the words slip away and you slowly close your eyes savoring that pure joy in perfectly balanced flavor. Then you begin to prepare yourself for another bite realizing that it was a handmade ravioli with ricotta and black pepper topped with perfectly rendered bacon that this dish of Cacio e Pepe Guanciale has suddenly left you speechless. It is this moment of bliss and earthly pleasure that you realize you have tasted genius. Eating our way through Florence, Sienna, Amafi, Napoli and Rome expectations of great food that are legendary were fulfilled over and over again but then we found Mr Clood. Mr Clood is that special place that foodies dream of, up a cobbled alleyway, off the main road in Trastevere with a small unassuming sign that you almost miss walking by. It is neatly kept with maybe eight or nine tables that usually has a local or two sitting and chatting with Monica the smiling friendly daughter of the chef and owner. The menu is written on a blackboard which changes frequently. I was fortunate to try ravioli with ricotta and spinach, the afore mentioned Cacio e Pepe Guanciale and ravioli with ricotta and orange all of which were a masters twist on classic dishes. Ricotta and orange shouldn't work on any level but somehow he manages to balance it so perfectly that you wish you could lick the plate without anyone seeing you. Pasta is made on the premises and all perfectly balanced with a nice red vino. Don't leave without trying one of their desserts, the tiramisu cheesecake was delicious but his creme brulee is thing of beauty, not served in a ramekin but on a small plate with a perfect char on the top it will make you hate all other creme brûlée you've had previously. Don't come to Rome without eating here. My saddest part in our Rome vacation was taking the last bite of our last meal in Mr Clood knowing I wouldn't be back in Rome anytime soon to enjoy his cooking read more
