    We were lucky enough to get recs for 3 great dinner spots in Rome so made a reservation at Nonna Betta. So glad we did! We ate indoors since it was so hot and were told there was AC indoors. If there was, we didn't feel it, so sit outside and catch a little breeze if it's hot. Service was impressive. I noticed that we weren't assigned a single server. They all seemed to work as a team to serve tables. Wine, of course, was great. Food was AMAZING. Do yourself favor and order the Jewish style artichoke. Out of the rest of our order, the lasagne was the standout star. Enjoy your dinner then a nice walk around the neighborhood. Prego!

    Nonna Betta is located on a little alley way street in the heart of the Jewish District of Rome. It's a bustling little place with indoor and outdoor seating. It's located next to a string of cafes and eateries that specialize in Middle Eastern, Roman and Kosher cuisine. They are famous for their fried artichokes and pasta dishes particularly the Carbonara. My wife and I broke away from the rest of the family and ventured out to "NB" on our last night in Rome. We had a wonderful meal. Even though we did not have a reservation, the hostess was able to set a table for us in the back of the dining room. We had a great meal from the Primi to the first and second courses. We ended with a sampler of their dessert offerings all of which are Middle Eastern inspired. It was delicious!!! On our next Roman adventure we will definitely be coming back.

    A bit hyped Jewish ghetto place, we walked all the way from pantheon to get here. There are quite a few restaurants around here but I chose this based on a few blogs I followed as I did want to try Jewish Italian food here, especially the fried artichokes. We ordered the mixed fried platter which came with a piece of falafel, a squash blossom, one artichoke and a few zucchini pieces, felt pretty small portion size for the price. We wanted to try the lamb and the carbonara here. The lamb was a bit chewy the potatoes were good, the pasta was ok but very filling especially the kids and was a generous portion size, though a good staff overall an underwhelming experience

    I am pretty disappointed with this place. We came here because we saw Mark Wiens come here so it has been our mission to try this place out and see what the Jewish Ghetto is about in Rome. Sadly, this place was super disappointing. It is so touristy and the service was so slow and very lacking. We sat outside just like everyone else and it took a while for someone to even get our drinks. The drinks came after I got my entree so there's that. We ordered artichoke which was super expensive and really small. We also ordered what I thought was fried zucchini flowers but it wasn't. It was zucchini flowers chopped up marinated in some sauce and deep fried and it was stale and cold. Never again. The artichoke was ok and I've had better artichoke at other places in Rome. We got cacio e pepe and Trippa alla romana. Both were mediocre. Cacio e pepe was kinda dry and the Trippa wasn't as flavorful. All these entrees are super small in portion yet very expensive in the price. Sadly, I won't come back here again. I'll just come back to the small hole in the wall we found near the Trevi fountain.

    After visiting the great synagogue in the Jewish quarter this was a wonderful lunch, the food was great and the atmosphere was beautiful and calm.

    Lunch at the Jewish Ghetto today. It was difficult to find a place that was open and would sit our group. I'm thankful that they took us in. The place is very small. My best advice would be to get ready to eat very small portion when ordering the lasagna. Although it had great taste, when I finished I was still hungry. So I advise if ordering lasagna, make sure to order a side. The guest who ordered pasta had normal portions. The couple in our party that are vegan had to order several plates of food to get what they needed. Everyone stated that the food had great taste. The restaurant is worth a try, I can't give it more than a three at this time. They have three bathrooms (one for men, other for women and one non specific). Space is a little cramped.

    My wife and I visited Rome for our 30 wedding anniversary, this was our second time to Rome. We found Nonna Betta went there one evening for Dinner it was excellent, we had the fried artichokes . It is located in a great area, We'll be back.

    Located in the Jewish quarter by Portico d'Octavia, we came here for the artichokes! Ordered the house wine -- possibly my favorite in Italy, jewish style fried artichoke which were delicious, marinated zucchini which were okay but slightly cold, and gricia Nonna Betta's style with artichokes which were good but nothing too special. Giving us these cute bookmarks with Italian poems were a cute touch!

    Excellent food all-around. The artichokes are fantastic. Mario will make sure you're treated right.

    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!
