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.

Carbonara pasta

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

Trippa

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.

House red wine

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.

We loved our meal here! The carbonara with zucchini was full of freshness, just rich enough, and one of my favorite meals in Rome.

We were searching for something close to our hotel and this looked interesting. The beef that comes…read moreout on a hot stone was all it took for me to want to go. We split a salad that was big enough for a meal, my wife had the bolognese, and I had the steak. It was super rare, but as I cut into it, I would lay it onto the stone to allow it to cook a bit more. I like it on the lean side of medium rare and my wife prefers a bit more. This was perfect for us to both enjoy it the way we like. Her pasta was excellent as well and we enjoyed sharing the meal. A bottle of wine topped off a great dinner. The weather was rainy so we opted to sit inside and it was warm and welcoming. Our waiter was helpful with our choices and we enjoyed his observations. The only thing I can say that was off, was the older woman who was paying her bill before me was pressured into leaving a tip ( service charge, is what he said). I was prepared for that but was not asked to tip. Great meal, we enjoyed it immensely, but the service charge that was scammed out of the 70+ year old lady in front of me kind of left a sour taste in my mouth. I was going to tip a few euros because we enjoyed ourselves so much, but decided not to because of the way it was presented to the party before us.

As others have said, this is no longer the name of the restaurant- it is now Il Panzerotto. That…read moresaid, I disagree about the food quality. We had a calzone and traditional spaghetti and both were delicious. I don't even know how to describe the calzone. It was unlike anything I've had before but SO good. I literally cleaned my plate with the last of the breading from it. The owner/chef was Luca. He was upset with the host because he had burned the plastic on the outdoor tent as he had placed a heater too close to it. To be honest, he seemed like a bit of a jerk, but his food was freaking delicious.

Welcome to the carb carnival. Next stop on our food tour, daring you to try just one more slice…read moreafter your pants have already waved the white flag. This is no ordinary pizza place, it's a forno, which is Italian for oven. Naturally, someone here looked at the bread, looked at the toppings, and said, Yes, this shall be pizza now. We kicked things off with the Margherita, the classy queen of pizzas, literally. Named after Queen before Italy decided to liberate itself, this was your classic tomato-mozzarella-basil situation. Red, Green and White like the Italian Flag. Regal. Nostalgic. Tastes like a monarchy that actually works. Then came the potato pizza, which, let me tell you, was a surprise carb ambush. Like, Oh cute, a slice of starch on starch. Bread with potatoes on it. For when your body is craving a food coma. And then came the Marinara, my personal Roman romance. No cheese, all attitude. Spicy, saucy, simple. Like that one ex who was too intense but kind of unforgettable. Let's talk style: Roman pizza is not your floppy Neapolitan mess that folds into a pizza burrito the moment it hits your plate. No no, Roman pizza stands its ground. It's a little thicker and definitely crunchier. You don't need to roll it, cradle it, or whisper encouragement. It just is. And I love it more than I probably should. La Renella is where bread goes to find its higher purpose which is to be pizza.

If I didn't know that I needed to leave a lot of room in my belly since this was only one of the many stops, I would've eaten more! Valentina did an amazing job telling us the story about this local bakery which also baked bread to other local businesses. A very good bakery/pizzeria!

It is with a heavy heart that I write this review…read more.. As a vegetarian who wishes she was a vegan, I want to love all vegan restaurants. I especially wanted to love this tiny place set off of restaurant lined Via della Lungaretta in Trastavere as the signage touted "cruelty free" and there is not a plethora of vegan restaurants in Rome. The sandwiches pictured on the menu appeared appetizing, although most featured fake meat which should have been the first indication that I was about to be disappointed. I ordered the focaccia vegan, and on the recommendation of the only employee on duty during the busy lunch rush, my mom ordered the vegan burger and my dad ordered the vebab. The customer ahead of us had placed a very large order so we had to wait about 30 minutes for our food at a place touted as "fast food". Each sandwich came with a salad of lettuce and tomatoes, which was fresh and nice but nothing special, as well as a side of some unidentifiable potato concoction that resembled fingers and, maybe this is the American in me, was in serious need of ketchup. When our food was finally ready, I was so thankful I had saved the majority of my water bottle, as my sandwich was almost completely bread with a tiny slice of frittata in the middle. The bread had been previously frozen (I was looking at it in the freezer in front of my seat) and was therefore very dry and I could literally only choke down about half of it (I only ate that much because at this point I was starving). My parents had similar experiences, and my dad's fake kebab meat had a very strange flavor. The adorable couple from Hamburg, Germany who arrived after us summed it up quite eloquently and politely by saying "um... We have had better!". One star for the very sweet service from the woman working there all by herself, and also for the baby who kept waving and laughing at me.

An amazing vegan chain that has incredibly cheap and tasty options. Please come to the UK!read more
