    The best pizza event, carbonara, pesto and their classic
    Vineet S.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Nannarella is a very busy spot for both locals and tourists. We arrived in Rome and stopped by for a late lunch/early dinner around 1500. We were seated quickly but be warned service is slow because they are busy. We flagged down a bus boy for menus after 5 minutes of sitting then ordered our food maybe 10 minutes later. We had a very nice server and all of our dishes came out together and on time. The calamari was delicious as was the tonnarello Nannarella dish. I ordered the cacio e pepe which was okay but I think I just don't like that dish in general. However my husband sweeped in and helped me finish the dish and loved it. I will say his dish was far more flavorful. Just don't order the cacio e pepe unless you only want pasta cheese pepper. Saw a lot of people order the meatballs, salads, and tiramisu.

    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

    Love love love this restaurant! I went to Italy to visit my sister who is studying abroad & and she raved about this place. Everyone was so nice and welcoming and even though it was busy we got seated super fast! The food was 10/10 I was obsessed!

    Lasagna

    After spending the day walking the streets of Rome, I found myself in Trastevera, exhausted and hungry. I stumbled into this unfamiliar restaurant kind of assuming I had settled since I hadn't done any research into restaurants on this side of town but in the end I was pleasantly surprised with incredible service, good wine and plate of lasagna I enjoyed deeply. The restaurant is simple and friendly with both indoor and outdoor seating. In the end I was happy to have stumbled upon this place.

    Lasagne 10/10

    Everything we had was outstanding! The carbonara was unlike anything we have in the United States aka it's the real deal. Incredibly rich so definitely good for sharing. The meatballs and garlic bread also were fantastic. The lasagne was some of the best we've ever had! Service was wonderful. I definitely would come back.

    Crazy woman who got in my face and refused to seat us. And yeah, there isn't much more to the story
    Jenn R.

    Horrible management staff. After the hostess put our name down on the wait list, this woman refused to seat us. We waited 25 mins and when I saw her seating parties (same size), I walked up to ask how long our wait time would be. The hostess was afraid to ask the woman and said that the lady (pictured) is the one who decides who sits and that the people she was taking weren't on a reservation list. The lady was simply not choosing to seat us. When she walked up and I asked her directly how long it might be to seat us, she told me to leave. Got in my face, and kept saying "Ciao" over and over again. I asked for her name and she refused to tell me and told the hostess not to tell me either. Awful.

    A beautiful awesome day amazing people of the world. Today we have another segment of eff around and find out in different cities of the world. Which brings us to Rome, Italy. What's a trip to Rome without some pasta right? Welcome to Nannarella, somewhat of a popular joint in the Trastevere area. When we arrived and there was quite the line outside the door. We still snagged a seat none the less. First is the Abbacchio, roasted lamb with potatoes. I adore the lamb, it's perfectly seasoned and it's fall of the bone tender. The greens and the potatoes are a great match. 7.8/10 Second we have the Carciofo, which is the fried artichokes. Everything is crispy, perfect amount of salt on the veg. I highly recommend this dish if you've never had it before. 8.9/10 Third is a Caccio e Peppe. The simplest of the pasta dishes. Which translates to cheese and pepper. That's it, nothing more, nothing less. This plate can get a 9/10 Last but not the least is the Meatballs Caccio e Peppe. The meatballs are excellent. Seasoned very well and smothered with a caccio e peppe sauce was pretty effing good. 8.4 out of 10. The ambiance is family style. It's a bit rustic, but the food speaks volume. If you're ever in Rome, do give this spot a go at it and let me know what you think. If you like discovering new places to smash, hit that follow button. Share this review with a smash mode buddy and thank you so much for watching! I love you! Mwah!

    Salad

    Great spot for a quick, tasty bite! We tried the lasagna, meatballs, and salad - all were delicious and hit the spot. It was busy when we visited, so service was a little slow, but the food made up for it. We'd definitely come back for another quick and satisfying meal!

    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.

    Yes, it's worth the wait if you go there early. We stood in line at 12:30 on a weekday, as in,…read morelunchtime. We were 2nd in line and waited about 30 minutes. I would wait longer. I had possibly the most amazing chick food pasta a girl could imagine. Girls know what girl food is. The pasta in Italy is just better -obviously. But then put all sorts of girl flavors on it like Lemon and Orange, just lightly enough, zest with a small hint of cheese-..... omgosh. Yes, yes, and yes. Need my hubs to replicate at home. He is going to be busy trying to perfect this. Tagliatelle with orange and lemon parmesan. This was it. It was the best. Everything else we ordered was amazing as well. Wait outside. They don't have a sign telling you to wait, no server telling you to wait. You wait out there, wondering if you're in the right place, but then people stand behind you and you're like - oh! I'm here. This is the place. There are possibly 4 tables inside. It's small. I read about them being rude- we did not have that problem. In fact, they made a mistake and we kindly let them know we ordered something else- they corrected it and were nice about it.

    After a long morning in the Vatican (there is sooo much stuff!), we were on the verge of hangry…read moreand thanks to Yelp, decided to check out BPA (way too long to spell out!). So happy we did as this place definitely delivers. There is seriously like 8 tables in the dining room so expect a wait in line but trust me, it's worth it. We waited outside for about 25 minutes. They do take your order while in line so the wait for food (once you do get a table) is abbreviated. Out of the world pastas and the pistachio tiramisu is seriously out of this world. Inexpensive table wine rounds out a great meal. This is the type of place I love to go to. It's quaint, zero pretense and delivers on its food. A great find!
