    Dinner on Monday night. Still real busy part of town steady line all night but can still get in. Super friendly service with a huge menu. We had the luxury of dining with locals. Started with the fired mix, bruschetta and focaccia. The fried mix was like arancini. They had one with beef, rice and cheese and the other was a potato and cheese mix. Perfect fry and the cheese was perfectly melted throughout. The focaccia was wam and soft with no need for balsamic or olive oil since it was baked with the perfect amount of oil. Had the amatriciana for the main course. What a treat. The pasta was a perfect al dente and sauce had a great creamy texture with a right touch of heat. Guanciale added great flavor and the right amount of salt to the dish. Finally, "when in Rome" we had to share the tiramisu for dessert. Amazing, incredibly creamy and sweet, of course the crunch at the bottom was outstanding. Good meal and great start of the trip to Rome.

    I wanted to like this place but the experience was kinda soured by our waiter. I was excited to travel out to this neighborhood because I heard all the food was so much better. I had seen a lot of hype and good reviews online about this restaurant as well. There's a huge crowd waiting to get in but thankfully we had no wait. We ordered the rice balls and the pesto. The pesto came out fast and my friend ordered a white wine and got a red instead. This wasn't a big issue but our waiter made us feel like we didn't order enough. Sadly I didn't like the pesto at all. The pasta was super al dente and too salty for me. Then when we asked about the rice balls - there was miscommunication about the fact that we ordered it. Didn't like the attitude and honestly from there the experience was soured. I also ordered the tiramisu and it was delicious so there could be other food items here that are actually worth it.

    The best pizza event, carbonara, pesto and their classic

    Where to start, while doing our research on some of the must visit restaurants to go, we stumbled on Nannarella. Came here twice during our recent visit, the food was one of our trip highlights. The place is old school with hint of modern touch, service is on point. We tried different varieties of pasta and other things on the menu, everything was just delish. By far, one of the best pastas we have ever had...and coming to desserts, please just that tiramisu, even if you don't like Tiramisu, you will loving it. Solid and must place visit when in town!!

    Perhaps our favorite dinner in Rome--we wanted the excitement of the city so we went out at 9 pm and enjoyed the bustling streets of Trastevere. We were not disappointed. After a 20 minute wait, we were seated inside--brighter and less romantic than outside, but we also had fun talking with the people in either side of us. We ate: --caprese--this was not as delicious as the other versions of this dish that we ate in Rome but it was still good. The mozzarella wasn't as fresh and tasty as other restaurants. I'd pass on this appetizer. --flat bread comes out hot and perfectly baked. Get this! --lasagna--perhaps the best, lightest lasagna on earth. Best in show! --pollo alla romana--so good. The pepper covering the chicken during slow roasting made this dish sing. The fried potatoes and rustic tomato sauce were fantastic! Get this and prepare to share it because it's a lot of food. Service was outstanding. It was crowded but not stressful or chaotic. The team moved efficiently, gracefully and with purpose. Absolutely professional and friendly. We paid a bit more here than other restaurants in the area, but it was worth it. Also, we had a blast. Highly recommend.

    Carbonara

    Common spot in the Trastevere area with good Italian dishes. We came here for lunch and the line was already long at 12:30pm. Lots of room for seating inside. I think that this place has a lot of good dishes, but nothing stuck out to me. The carbonara was good but a little creamier than I would like it. The meatballs were good but had a cheese filling inside I wasn't expecting. It was good and a great stop for small parties to gather!

    We went here based on the recommendation of our taxi driver. The restaurant seemed to be quite busy around 2:30 in the afternoon. However, our wait for a table for 2 was only about 10 minutes. We were seated outdoors, near the entrance under a tarp. After briefly reviewing the menu, my friend decided on pizza with a ginger ale and I chose the gorgo salad with water. It was a bed of arugula topped with smoked salmon, feta cheese, walnuts and orange slices. I guess it didn't come with salad dressing, however, for me this salad didn't really need dressing. The ambiance was chill and the weather was beautiful and sunny. It felt like a scene out of a book. Our Server was decent and there were no issues with our order. My friend did question whether or not her pork sausage was raw or cooked. I think was just a matter of appearance in cooking styles as we are accustomed to browning meat. Both meals were good. The total was 34 euros including 2 euros for water and 2 euros gratuity automatically added to the bill. I would dine there again and recommend dining here at least once.

    Oxtail in tomato sauce with mashed potatoes.

    Wonderful food and service! Try the oxtail in red sauce you won't regret it. One of the best spots in trastevere.

    Came here with my husband the first day when we were in Italy. I'm not sure what's the hype about this place. It was mediocre in my opinion definitely not worth the weight and the cost. I didn't like how their pasta tasted! My husband got pasta, and I got the lasagna, which was better. Still not impressed with the food. I would not wait for this. I would go to another local place.

    Hugo spritz, one of the best on the trip
    stephen c.

    Super good food and friendly staff. Good value for the price. Trastevere is a beautiful area with good people and Nannarella is no exception. Can't recommend it enough. The original Nannarella was one of my favorite meals on the trip through Italy. Tried many Hugo spritz and these were the best as well.

    The food is simple Italian classics. Service is quick no frills. The ambiance is classic Italian Osteria. There is even a lady hand rolling pasta all day.

    This place has earned some social media clout that has resulted in a LONG line on a nightly basis. Personally, I think there are so many better places that I would choose over this. We started with the focaccia. This was just ok. One piece has a good amount of olive oil, but the others were dry and largely flavorless. I had the cacio e pepe. I loved the tonnarelli noodles, but the flavor of the dish wasn't fantastic. Out of all the times we ordered cacio e pepe, this was my least favorite. My husband had the amatriciana which he said was good but not great. Additionally, just to forwarn you, the bathroom is tiny and disgusting. There is liquid (hopefully water...but probably not) everywhere and no toilet seats. Overall, this place is just overhyped. Are you probably going to have a decent meal? Sure! Is it going to be worth waiting for hours in line? Not in my mind.

    Dinner!

    I loved the food, the presentation, the People who served us. Everybody was so kind and nice. It was a short line, but we enjoyed a lot compared to the price and a lot of other restaurants. It was a fantastic experience while we stayed in Rome.

    Receipt -- good prices but charging for water in a city of free fountains was dumb
    Michael L.

    First time in Trasteverste and wow this place was amazing! Great vibes, ate outside, 12/10 food (lasagna is my final meal if I had the choice), & good service. Other than charging for water we loved it lol

We made a reservation online, arrived about 20 minutes early, and they gladly sat us right down. While we were there we noticed plenty of locals eating, chatting with the servers in Italian, and having a blast, which is always a green flag. The menu leans traditional Roman; extensive, with plenty of pasta, meats, and fish. The supplì classico and the cacio e pepe one were both phenomenal. We also had the all'amatriciana and carbonara, and both were divine. After a week traveling through Europe, my husband said this was his favorite meal and restaurant of the trip. It was a top one for me too. We also ordered the oxtail; delicious, but I'm not sure I'd get it again since you get two pieces that are mostly bone. I know that's just how oxtail is, but I was expecting a little more. The panna cotta for dessert was a great choice too. Service was fine, nothing to write home about, but honestly I appreciated how rough around the edges it was. They kept it real; don't come expecting fancy restaurant service. This is a place you go to for authentic food and flavors. We sat outside on the sidewalk, great for people watching, though they had plenty of space inside and even multiple floors. Oh, and the house wine was delicious and a great deal. Our entire meal only came to €70, the cheapest dinner we had in Italy. Definitely try it if you're in Rome.

    Review # 1200 After…read moresome shopping on the Via cola Di Riemzo, we were ready for lunch. This spot was a Yelp find. We arrived just before they opened at 12:30. We asked for a table outside and the kind lady asked us if we had a reservation (oh oh). We didn't. No problem as we took our pick of one of the tables. Two levels inside with a small Bar in the back. Before we knew it, outside seating was full and inside also filled up-a good sign. We ordered a liter (ended up being too much but when in Rome...) of their house Red and enjoyed it. For starters, we ordered the Fried Artichokes (thick breading and will order the Roman style with garlic/vinegar next time), fried Zucchini and Suppli-Cacio Pepe. The Suppli was delicious and was enjoyed the most. For main, it was Pasta Carbonara (Guanciale )-Proper carbonara and the streak of not having a bad version of this dish in Rome continues. The sliced Beef with mushrooms was also delicious -super tender and thin pieces of beef (medium rare as requested). We asked if the Tiramisu was house-made. Our server answered, "yes, and I am the one who makes it." How could we not order after that?! One of the best Tiramisus we've had. Perfect balance of coffee dipped lady fingers with cream-delicious! Our Server was kind, attentive and full of hustle -she was covering a lot of ground. Don't miss this Gem if you are in the Prati district.

We started with the artichoke, which was quite possibly the best artichoke I've ever tasted in my life. Ubelievably tender and served bathed in rich olive oil that elevated every single bite.
