    Grappa Cadonili

    What a wonderful dining experience right next to our hotel (Starhotels Metropole) in Rome. They severe the meals with freshly baked breads that tasted so good with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The service was fast and great. They answer all the questions we had on food allergy. Both pasta dishes we ordered were delicious. They tasted so good that we asked for extra breads to soak up all the sauces. After dinner, my wife chose to have Panna Cotta which was recommended by our server as their best selling desert. It was so good that I only got one bite. While trying to pay our bill, we were offered three different liquors to sample: Limoncello, Meloncello, and Grappa Candolini. The restaurant was packed with patrons. We told that they open at 4 pm to 11 pm to allow more people to enjoy the dining sensation here. All the staff are friendly and the dining experience here was the best that I ever had. Too bad that we did not find this hidden jewel the first night we were here. I would highly recommend that you give it a try when you are in town for sightseeing.

    Besides the class we took at EnjoyCooking where we made our own ravioli and pizza, this was the BEST restaurant experience we had in Rome. The staff were immediately so welcoming and thoughtful. It was a rainy evening and we reserved an indoor room (by the way, reservations are made by e-mailing or calling the restaurant directly). When we checked in they said we could get out of the rain and sit down in their outdoor patio until our table was ready. The staff came to speak to me and just have a friendly conversation. Before long we were welcomed to our table. Unlike the other restaurants that ask if you want still or sparkling and then charge you for the bottle of water, Nerone has an ongoing water fountain where they fill pitchers and do not charge for really good tasting wonderful drinking water. This alone was stellar. Our server was phenomenally friendly making me feel as though we had known him for years. They had a daily special of gnocchi with any choice of sauce. The food was so good! I loved the pasta as well as the chicken with a good Marsala sauce and side of veggies. The dessert with salted caramel panna cotta was a delight and recommended over the tiramisu. The inside provides a little more personal space than most other restaurants in this area but still a warm home-like atmosphere. If I return to Rome it is the one and only restaurant I will make a point to return to hands down.

    First night in Rome, we picked this place based off of yelp reviews. It was okay. We were seated quickly and service was good but nothing about the food was amazing to us. The rest of the time we were visiting, we decided to pick restaurants based on where we were when we got hungry and it worked out much better. There are so many to choose from and by the end of our trip, this one ended up being our least favorite.

    Fountain for drinking water

    This place was perfect. We got there right as they opened and we got to pick our seat inside in the AC. It was beautiful inside and everyone was super friendly and welcoming. Our server Rafael was great and very professional and friendly. My fiancé and I got the pesto tagliatelle and the carbonara which were both delicious. We also split the grilled chicken breast which was tasty! The food came with warm rolls of bread which was good. For dessert we split the tiramisu which was amazing and our server provided us both with a shot of melon cello and lemon cello (complimentary)! Important things to note: Great staff and service Beautiful inside Free water from their fountain that they fill up with a pitcher (first place in Italy with free water I have seen) Delicious food that is well priced. We loved it and would probably come back if we were in the area again.

    Yelp did it again! We selected Nerone based on reviews and proximity to our hotel. Nerone is fantastico! So good we ate there twice. The staff is friendly. The food is delicious. My favorite - cacio e pepe. The veal was also very good. Do save room for dessert.

    Nerone al Viminale absolutely exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, the experience was incredible. The Filipino staff deserve a special shout-out -- incredibly warm, attentive, respectful, and genuinely invested in making sure we had a perfect meal. Their hospitality made the evening unforgettable. Every dish was beautifully presented and packed with authentic Roman flavor. The carbonara was creamy and rich, the seafood pasta was fresh and vibrant, and the meat dishes were tender and full of depth. The grilled vegetables were a delicious touch, and the desserts... simply amazing. The trio of panna cotta was the perfect ending -- visually stunning and absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and you can feel the pride they take in both the food and the service. After several meals around Rome, this was by far the best dining experience of our trip. Highly recommended -- outstanding food, exceptional service, and a team that treats you like family. Bravo, Nerone!

    Carbonara
    Raven R.

    Such a lovely place for our final dinner in Rome! The staff is friendly and they cracked funny jokes throughout the evening. We got their house red to drink, then beef tenderloin and carbonara for our entrees. We finished the meal with a panna cotta sampler. They brought out a tiramisu and lemoncello shots on the house! Beef Tenderloin- Cooked according to preference, the meat was juicy and tender. The creamy mushroom sauce provided a layer of flavor. Served with potatoes and vegetables making it a filling and hearty meal. Carbonara- The pasta is cooked al dente. The sauce is so rich and flavorful, probably the best I've had in Rome. The crispy panchetta slices are generous. Panna Cotta- Creamy and light with a variety of sauces to try: chocolate, caramel, and amarena cherries. The caramel was my favorite, the sauce was rich and decadent and you get crumbled biscuits for extra texture. The cherry was fresh and fruity and provided a bright contrast against the panna cotta base. The chocolate is a classic and the sauce had the right amount of sweetness. Wonderful experience overall! A must try when in Rome

    Bolognese with fettuccine
    Debbie B.

    Excellent all around. The food was amazing. We ordered the meatball appetizer and bolognese with fettuccini for our main and lasagna. The place is charming and the service is top notch. So generous with water from their fountain, bread and closing drinks (no spoilers here). Highly recommend this place.

    Chef's Pasta Pasta in a zucchini cream sauce

    Visited Nerone on our final night in Rome! The food was lovely, they had a classic variety of Roman dishes. I had the Chef's Pasta, a pasta in a zucchini cream sauce that was lovely. The most notable part of our meal was our amazing server, Kim! He was friendly and attentive and made us feel so welcome. We also ordered the ravioli to share and he split the dish up for us. Great restaurant, would definitely go back if I'm ever in Rome again.

    This was our favorite meal in Rome. The food was excellent but the service was even better. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our every need was met. They were incredibly pleasant and accommodating. I highly recommend you check this restaurant out.

    Digestive liqueur
    Walter L.

    The Sauvignon forchir was great. The caprese was delicious though it needed some pepper. The spaghetti with tomato sauce went very well with the parmesan. Tiramisu was disappointing too much coffee and not enough sweetness. They also gave me some digestive liqueur as compliments from the chef. Overall wasn't too noisy. 9/10 would eat here again.

    Latonya P.

    We wanted close to hotel and we got it! Very nice staff they even gave us a free dessert in addition to the one we ordered! The chicken lemon was good but I don't favor the breast as I find it dry but it was good all the same! The grilled veggies were cooked perfectly and the ravioli was delish with a fresh made pasta sauce! The strawberry mascarpone was the star of the show for me! We sat outside in the patio on the back of the building and other than the street scammers ( trying to sell you something worthless) it was very nice! It's casual but slightly upscale at the same time. It seemed like the inside was pretty sizable!

    Cameron K.

    This restaurant was decent and worth looking into if you're in the area. The service was great, and our waiter was so kind. He stopped by multiple times, refilling our water for free, which isn't too common in Italy. I ordered the gnocchi with bolognese sauce and it was good for a casual restaurant. Additionally, it didn't feel too formal and there was some nice outdoor seating. Overall, I would consider stopping by for a quick, casual dinner, with some friends or family.

It was sooo good. The braised beef was cooked to perfection, the sauce was delectable and the sides were great. The mozzarella and tomato was amazing too. Perfectly seasoned and the tomatoes were conscientiously sliced. 1000% suggest this restaurant

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.

Being new to Rome, and having walked 20k steps on our first day, there are an abundance of options a for dining. We wanted something classically Rome nearby to our hotel. The Yelp review of this restaurant was sufficiently positive to entice us. Being American, we appreciate the earlier-than-customary dining options. We arrived at 6pm without a reservation. We were seated immediately. The restaurant is intimate and very well staffed. The wood fire oven is front-and-center and the fresh mozzarella is prominent in display. We ordered a bottle of wine ... all options are very fairly priced. This is nice. We started with a Greek salad to share. It was unlike any American Greek salad ... and a really delight. It is early June but the tomatoes and peppers were ripe and crisp and really fresh. My wife ordered the Marguerite pizza; I opted for the Gorgonzola pizza (the effusive review on Yelp was compelling). Both were solid. We appreciate the thin crust and the crisp edged. The center of both, however, was doughy and somewhat undercooked. Looking around ... the restaurant was over 50% full even at this early hour. Most were Americans. We saw a good number of diners with pasta dishes ... and none were left unfinished. Sadly, we don't have any comparisons to weigh (yet). So, I cannot affirm any "best of" citations, it this is certainly a solid trattoria/pizzeria. The staff are attentive and the food served hot and fresh.
