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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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!! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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.

This restaurant was only a short walk from where I was staying so decided to go there on a Sunday when I was tired out from an excursion into Rome. It was pretty crowded but I got a table. The seating is a little tight, but typical for an Italian restaurant. I had the lasagna which was very good. Also I read some of the reviews here and also ordered the focaccia bread and I'm glad I did. I couldn't eat it all though and took some back to my place (the bread, that is). My server recommended the tiramisu but I was full, but I lingered a bit, sipping my wine and finally ordered the tiramisu. It was very good! I normally don't eat dessert, but this was really worth it. Not overwhelming or large. They serve it in a cappuccino cup which was just about enough for me. Great meal and good service. read more

134 reviews and 4.5 star rating as of the writing of this review and it's well deserved!! While abroad pulled up my trusty yelp app and quickly found this place. Thanks to Yelp community the reviews, pics showed this place as a winner...ding, ding.. Got seated quickly as it was still a bit early. Our waiter was kind, attentive, and quick. The food was delivered timely and the experience was just excellent. Would definitely come back during my stay in Roma.. read more

We came at 11:30am and were seated right away. Our server was really nice and friendly. We got suppli (10,00), amatriciana (12,00), cacio e pepe (10,00), artichoke (8,50) and tiramisu (7,00). This was a lot of food for 2 people but we wanted to try everything. The wine is a bit expensive but we had to get wine to accompany our meal. The suppli was so good. It comes with 3 different types. We loved the one that had extra tomato sauce flavour inside. The cheese inside was the perfect touch. The artichoke was okay. Very crispy on the outside and moist on the inside also very soft on the inside but I wouldn't order it again The amatriciana and the cacio e pepe were served in the cutest pans. This pasta was the first pasta we had in Italy so we were floored by the flavour and the texture. It wasn't overly salty and the portion was huge. We couldn't finish everything since we had already eaten artichokes and 3 suppli balls each so they offered us to go boxes for the leftover pasta. We also got tiramisu - it was strong on the alcohol flavour but not on the coffee flavour. I would definitely come back to have more suppli and pasta read more

Food here is traditional Italian Osteria. It's out of the way which is great because you know you are getting real authentic Italian. When go to the Basilica Di Santa Maria this is a must go. Service is very prompt but relax. Opt for outside seating. Ambiance is very old school home town vibe. read more

Had a wonderful meal here today. Typical Italian trattoria with inside and outside seating. Ordered the boscaiola pinsa ( think sausage and mushroom pizza without the tomato sauce ) and the lasagna. Delicious. And even though that was hard for us to finish, we couldn't pass up on the tiramisu after reading reviews about the homemade dessert. It was so amazing - far beyond our expectations. Salvo and the other staff were hard working, attentive, and very friendly. I would highly recommend this wonderful place to stop and sample some delicious Italian cuisine in the Trastevere area. Don't miss it! read more

We came here based on reviews. While the food was good, we were very disappointed by the service and staff. I came here with my pregnant wife and a 2-year old son. We didn't have to wait too long to be seated, in a non-smoking room clearly marked as such. However, either due to poor ventilation, staff leaving the window open to the outside smoker area, or taking smoking breaks themselves, the entire room reeked of headache-inducing amount of cigarette smoke. And we weren't alone who thought so, several nearby tables near us were also talking about cigarette smoke and looking around who was smoking. When my pregnant wife ordered non-alcoholic beer, the waiter brought her random ALCOHOLIC beer which was not even the same brand. It took a while to get anyone to come up to us to explain the situation after which the waiter replaced the beer. Service in general was very slow, and the waiter completely forgot when we asked for the check, we were sitting at the table for a good 30 mins (with each of us inhaling another cigarette's worth of second-hand smoke) until I asked for it again. The tip was "forced" on us, already included in the receipt, which explains their nonchalant attitude towards customers. read more

Very busy but attentive with tightly spaced tables. Arrive early! The lasagna was very good, but the rigatoni pesto is the best pesto I've ever had! If you don't like crowds, we'll stay out of Trasteveria completely! But if you don't mind them, enjoy & MANGIA! read more

Waiting was pretty quick, especially being in a party of 4. I guess they have separate lines for tables of twos and that takes a bit longer. The food here was absolutely delicious. Big portions, reasonably priced and great service. We got calamari and focaccia bread to start. Both were nice and hot and fresh. I got the oxtail in tomato sauce, so tender!! You can tell they know how to cook. The pastas were unreal too! No one in my party managed to finish their meal. I would definitely recommend coming to this place! read more

Went there with my family. Around 9:00 pm on a Friday, it was busy but we waited at most 15 minutes for a table of three. We had two tonnarellas, a bolognese and a carbonara, lasagna and a pizza. A bottle of red wine and water. The food was delicious. They also did a little celebration for a birthday and all of this cost a total of 85 euros. The ambient was nice, a bit cold, but nice. We had to wait for the check 20+ minutes :( read more

I had the most amazing meal of carbonara and a tuna salad for 20€. I was so full and could have gone with just the pasta, but wanted some veggies as well. The service was just okay, but I didn't mind. The pasta was to die for at this price. Would highly recommend. I went in at 5pm on a Monday and was able to get a table for myself immediately. When I left there was a line to get a table. Definitely a popular spot. read more

A line at the door...understandable... Inside is super small, quaint, and honestly what I'd imagine an old Italian kitchen would look like-warm lights and lots of cool cookware. This spot really has a knack at making AMAZING pasta and other Anti-pasta. The service is not super stellar, but our waiter, Lucca, was nice and pleasant. Really the food is the main star here. All of it was super DELICIOUS-artichoke antipasta, Nannarella pasta, Cacio Pepe, and Carbonara. ALSO the focaccia bread!! read more

I came here last year on holiday and returned again this year. The pasta was so delicious I had to return! Homemade pasta, lovely atmosphere, great neighborhood, specialty family recipes, like the pasta nannarella (think puttenesca without anchovies and black olives, but eggplant and green olives instead, producing a much less bitter and more creamy sweet and delicious dish!). Very delicious! This year we also tried the cod balls and potatoes and chickory, all so delicious! I also appreciate how the staff is able to do line control for the line that collects outside the restaurant. They allow you to select inside or outside when it's your turn. read more

This restaurant immediately caught our eye with its 4.7 Google review and nice location on a piazza. We walked in and were seated with after a short 10 minute wait. By then, it felt like being ushered into the dining room of a restaurant at Epcot. From the menu translated in 4 languages to the cheeky-but-traditional Osteria decor, everything looked performative and indicative that we had walked right into a tourist trap. Everything we ordered wasn't bad, but rather disappointing: dry focaccia, the worst cut of pancetta slides in the Amatriciana, mid drinks... The best dish was the Artichoke. Service was friendly and extremely fast which sorts of goes against the idea of slowing down for culinary enjoyment and togetherness. Overall there are thousands of restaurants in Rome and I'm not sure why one would willingly go to such a mid place. read more

Tonight, at one of the best restaurants in Rome, we enjoyed the finest dishes with excellent service from Mr. Parsa. The food at this restaurant was outstanding. Be sure to try the tiramisu dessert and the bread served with rosemary and olive oil as an appetizer. The service was exceptional, especially from Mr. Parsa, who was very friendly, highly knowledgeable, and helped us choose the best dishes and drinks. If we visit Rome again, we will definitely return to this fantastic restaurant. Try Carbonara pasta and Funghi Pizza read more

This place came highly recommended, but I was somewhat disappointed and would not recommend it. It seems highly overrated on Yelp. The lamb I ordered was way overcooked, dry, tough, and tasteless. My wife liked her spaghetti dish, but the sauce tasted pretty average to me. The place was packed and extremely noisy. They don't take reservations. We only had about 15min wait to get a table, but when we left the line was at least 3 if not 4 times as long as. On the plus side, their menu is in multiple languages, the service was good, and they can accommodate good allergies. read more

Seems like a tourist trap but absolutely not. A bit out of the way in Trastevere but worth the trip. Best calamari I've ever had. Lightly breaded and so tender. Cacio e Pepe was a bit too cheesy but Al dente. Loveee the oxtail in tomato-based sauce. Comes with a cheesy mashed potato concoction (not entirely sure if this is actually mashed potato ) Service was fabulous and so quick! Barely waited after we ordered read more

Between 2/3 stars on this one tbh but rounding up because the vibes were exceptional, their patio seating is really nice, and service was good. Things came out very quickly, especially my wine which I appreciated lol. I had a glass of the lambrusco which was nice and refreshing. I ordered the side salad with tomatoes (€6) which ended up being an alarmingly large salad which was mostly tomatoes with some sad lettuce. There was no dressing, just poor-quality balsamic and olive oil on the side. It was honestly shocking. But I needed something healthy to balance with the carbs which it did achieve. I ordered the Cacio e pepe which was a very generous portion for a mere €10. It was a bit more Al dente than I would have liked and a bit lacking in salt but overall wasn't bad and certainly not given the price. Bread service (€2.50) can be skipped, it was mediocre at best and the olive oil I was using to liven it up was taken away after I finished my salad. It wasn't terrible but I'm sure there are better places - I would skip. read more

First time in Rome and after walking around the piazza and looking at all the restaurants Nanarella called us in. We ate inside with the amazing high ceiling and large chandelier, but I was in love with the massive wood cabinet! Staff was friendly and attentive. On to the food. I needed to try a pizza and was taught by Albi our waiter the way they make it with 3 different flours, oh boy how yummy. Albi was really helpful and guided us through the menu. The pizza had anchovies and was so delicious. For apps we got the fried artichoke and the best darn calamari I've ever had. I'll be back for sure! read more
